Speaker 2 (00:14):
This is the best of Stu Gotson Company Live on
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. Call in about anything.
Does it have to be what we're talking about, whatever's
on your mind? Ask us anything.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Don't ask me anything about the first episode of Estorious
season three that I haven't seen yet. I also have
not seen the untold on the Jailblazers yet, so don't
ask any questions about that necessarily, although we can ask
David Stodter. I have plenty of those questions.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
Yes, he will join us in hour number two.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Ian Rappaport will join us in about fifteen minutes to
get us ready for the NFL Draft. Taylor wrote me
a note today saying this is the worst Yankees team
his lifetime.
Speaker 5 (01:00):
Not worse.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Yeah, my least favorite, your least favorite last week it
was your favorite.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
Never He just wrote that down on a piece of
paper and just handed it to you.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
He does that occasionally, Yes he does. But me and
Taylor are very excited today. Really well, yeah, we have
Ian Rappaport, we have David Stotdommeaiyer, but we also have
someone who is willing to set the table the NBA
play in games or tonight they start tonight, the play
(01:31):
in Tournament. I told Taylor before we got started here,
that is he wanted to set the table for the.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
NBA play In Tournament.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
And he got equally as excited as I did when
you told it to me, is he?
Speaker 4 (01:44):
How about that?
Speaker 3 (01:45):
It's so crazy. You gotta be careful with the phrases.
The youth around here, the things that gets you gots excited.
I was looking for a throwaway away to explain how
you know we're going to talk about these playing games,
And as soon as I said set the table, the
man got super excited.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
I wrote it down. Look, I circled it. Look the
parentheses set the table. Well whatever, it's semicircle.
Speaker 6 (02:07):
So admittedly today I'm very distracted because I've got this
Liverpool Champions League game about to kick off, big Champions
League night in Anfield. But the second I heard Stu
Gotts mutter the words set the table, I perked up
and I said I took off one headphone. I say,
what did you say?
Speaker 4 (02:26):
Yeah? Yeah, you heard me correctly.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Yeah, I know you're at Liverpool guy.
Speaker 6 (02:28):
Yes, no, yep, up the Reds?
Speaker 4 (02:30):
So is up Board out Ricardo? I mean, you guys
are kindred spirits.
Speaker 7 (02:35):
I'm actually rooting for PSG, a team they're playing. Yeah,
I'm a diehard PSG guy.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
Yeah, okay, I'm just rooting for action.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
I mean, seriously, in any sort of soccer game that
I ever watched, just someone scored more than three goals?
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Did you say up the Reds?
Speaker 6 (02:48):
Yeap?
Speaker 3 (02:49):
What did I say?
Speaker 6 (02:50):
Not Chris the Bear, Felico Stu I think is who
you're confusing Board up Ricardo with. He's a Liverpool supporter.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
My fault. I think that should be the headline question
of this show. What did I set?
Speaker 1 (03:04):
If you were to ask me right now tell me
anything you've said in the first three minutes of this show,
I wouldn't be able to do it. I mean, how
about that set the table? Oh yeah, yes, semi circle.
So without any further ado, is he please? There is
a table to be set. Taylor and I are excited.
We are sitting down for dinner and is he is
(03:25):
going to set the table.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
You gotta set the table before you sit down for dinner, right,
that'd be pretty annoying if you sit down to a
blank table and then people start setting it around.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Yes, I guess you're right, we'll set it anyway.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Well, I've been telling Taylor that the Heat's going to
be playing against the Hornets tonight and three officials because
there just seems to be a lot more support for
the Charlotte Hornets, right, Like they're America's team. They're the
team that everybody wants to see because they're a little
bit intriguing, right They've got the kind of wackiness or
the yankiness of lamellow ball, and they've got this kank
(03:59):
nipple guy that everybody wants to know if he's any good.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
They're a team in which I think people are excited
about because they play in exciting style of basketball.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
They have some stars on that team.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
But they're also a team I think of all the
teams involved in the play in tournament, a team that
if they get out of the play in tournament, I
think people feel like maybe they can make a little
tiny run in the Eastern Conference.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
Is that fair?
Speaker 3 (04:21):
I think it's fair if they see if they're a
team that right now has some confidence, but I don't
think they have playoff level confidence right Like they need
to figure out if their starting lineup, which has since
it's been together has been spectacular, is a real thing
or if it's just kind of a regular season mirage,
especially late in the season. Maybe got a bunch of
games against some you know, teams trying to lose in there,
(04:44):
and so I don't know if they're super confident that
they can even in this game against Miami, because Miami
went into Charlotte earlier this season when Charlotte was at
its hottest and took that game.
Speaker 6 (04:54):
When does a teeny tiny runs to become make some noise?
Speaker 4 (04:58):
Uh Eastern Conference Finals? Wow?
Speaker 6 (05:00):
Right, they have to make the Eastern Conference Finals before
the Hornets can make some noise.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Yeah, the tiny run is the second round.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Yeah, you get to the second round, you lose, you
win the second round, you get to the Eastern Conference Finals.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
You're not expected to be there. Now you're making noise.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
I would argue teeny tiny run might be seven games
in the first round as a lower seed, as a
seven or eight seed, that could be a teeny tiny run.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Right, I don't know bord at Ricardo is disagreeing with
everything that I'm saying about Eastern Conference.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Finally, well, why I mean.
Speaker 7 (05:26):
I think it was the two thousand and four playoff
run where the Heat made a little run and got
to the second round with Dwayne Wade and we lost
to Indiana Pacers.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
I think it's seven.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
Yeah, that was the second round.
Speaker 7 (05:36):
You know, we made a little run there and he
ended up getting.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Well, that's what I'm saying is a teeny tiny run.
Had they won that series, they would have made some noise.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Actually, you know what I'm kind of with Ricardo here
taking the Pacers take it. So it was an upset
win in the first round against the against the New
Orleans Hornets, and then made some noise by taking the
Pacers to six. And I don't know what stan Van
Gundy was thinking by leaving Dwayne Wade on the bench
or play in Game six where they needed just one
more shot to tie the game. Even though he's not
(06:04):
a three point shooter, he was the Wayne freaking Wade.
But anyway, yeah, I would say that was making a
little noise.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
Because it's a playing team.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
So if they get to a second round of the
NBA playoffs, they have made some noise. What if it's like,
let's say the Lakers, if they get to the Western
Conference finals, have they made any noise?
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Make noise if it's in a place that you expect
to be even if you're seeding. Isn't that right? They're
what a five seed, four seed, so they're really only
expected to get to the second round if they go
one round further. If they're a veteran, confident team, that's
not making noise.
Speaker 6 (06:35):
Okay, It definitely depends on your team's expectations. Like if
the Knicks make it to the Eastern Conference finals, that's
not a really a teeny tiny run. They were expecting
to get there. They fired their coach to get there
and take them further. If the Hornets win the play
in and then they take the Pistons to game six
(06:55):
or a game seven, yeah, I think they're making noise.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
I think really, oh.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Wow, first round make noise, first round noise. I think
that's the teeny time you run. I don't think that's
making noise. The Knicks, to your point, they can do
neither for these entire playoffs. They can either make they
can make a teeny tiny run. They cannot make a
little bit of noise. They have to win it and
win it all. That's the only thing they can know.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
They make it to the NBA finals, they've made some noise.
They have they made.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
They just matched expectations if they make it to the NBA.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Listen, I am glad we are defining these things because
we need to, because sports radio has not yet done this,
and I am the commissioner up sports Radio and I'm
telling you we need to do it, and we're doing
it right now.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
We're setting the table. So, Taylor, what do you have
for us on this front?
Speaker 6 (07:37):
If the Knicks make the finals. Yeah, not only will
the Knicks be making some noise, We're gonna be making
sure you hear us making some noise.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Well that's what is he is protecting against, right, Yeah,
the tleis it's not a big deal, you know.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
No, I think they made some noise last year getting
to the conference finals first time in twenty five years.
You fire your coach with the expectation of getting to
the finals. That's not making noise. You can't be surprising people.
And when you're making noise, it's because you're surprising people.
It's not because people are matching expectations.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
So it seems that it's based on where your position
this year, what you did a year ago.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
So let me ask you this.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
If the Hawks make it to the Eastern Conference finals,
teeny tiny run or making noise, that's.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Making a lot of noise. I mean, I would argue
the Hawks have already made their teeny tiny run because they.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Just making it to the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
They got into the playoffs getting the seed they could
have had a five seed. They were very close to that.
So yeah, I would say they're in the middle of
a teeny tiny run. If they get to the conference finals,
that is making some noise.
Speaker 6 (08:39):
What about the Pistons. If the Pistons make the finals,
they're the one seed, so you would assume that's not
really making noise. If they make the finals expected, but
it's a team that really hasn't been there recently.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Question, So I would say, yes, they're making noise because
they are resetting their expectations with a guy coming back,
their leader coming back from a collapse lung. When you
have the will is read type of scenario, right, your
star is whatever under the weather, injured or something not
and you are going further than you thought you would
with an injured star. It's one hundred percent making noise. Huh,
(09:11):
Like when who was it? I think it was the
Celtics team without Kevin Garnett made a second round that
felt like a teeny tiny run. But there've definitely been
players or teams that have made noise with like injured
or less than one hundred percent players because it lowers
your expectations. So yes, they could still make a run.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
We have a phone call for is he here? Russell
and Phoenix? Go ahead, you're on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Hey, what's up, guys?
Speaker 3 (09:35):
I just thought i'd take advantage of Stu Gotts.
Speaker 6 (09:38):
You're offering to call in about anything.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Yeah, kind of a health question for you. Have you
been diagnosed or do you have any like, you know,
formal disorder with the chronic fake laugh thing.
Speaker 6 (09:49):
I was worried about your health.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
I thought you wanted to call in about Phoenix. I
mean you had an MBA question for Isy. I didn't
even know what health is you? What is he talking
about it?
Speaker 3 (10:00):
It's fairly just making fun of the fact that you
laugh all the time.
Speaker 6 (10:03):
Your cash all right, Sorry, I'm funny.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
I mean, listen, I am sorry that Taylor and Izzy
are so funny they made me laugh on a daily basis.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
I am sorry for enjoying my job.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
I am sorry that we're talking about sports, and sports
make me makes me laugh because we're talking about setting
the table and someone pays me a lot of money
to do this, and so that's why I.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
Laugh so much. I'm laughing all the way to the bank.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
What would be the medication to get you to stop
fake laughing?
Speaker 4 (10:31):
No money?
Speaker 6 (10:32):
That's a classic call screen though, where it's where he
says he's got an NBA question.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
I should be I should be applauding Russell.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
I should he got through the screener he had an
NBA question for.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
Is he and really he did it? What he was
doing was just taking a shot at my health. I mean, hey, is.
Speaker 6 (10:48):
The first time long time? What do you think about
Devin Booker this playoffs?
Speaker 3 (10:52):
I believe you invented that move right of squeaking by
the call screener and you know, saying that things in
Spanish are actually something else. That was Mark Cockman, it was.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
I've also myself called into many a sports radio show
telling him I wanted to discuss one thing and came
out with another. I mean, that's it's classic sports radio
caller stuff. Is he you know that you've called in
the shows before?
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Haven't you you know what that color did?
Speaker 4 (11:13):
Well?
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Made a little noise?
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Have you properly set the table here? Do you know.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
What else?
Speaker 3 (11:22):
I'll try to? All Right, so let's just say from
this of this game, in this Charlotte Miami situation anyway,
go sorry, that was good with Jarry. Guys, it was
which one of these two teams? Would you say you'd
say the Hornets have the more probable roster to make
some noise?
Speaker 4 (11:42):
Right?
Speaker 5 (11:44):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (11:45):
I think with the Miami Heat. The only thing that's
interesting is they have more experience in this type of game.
They might throw things at lamellow Ball that he might
not have seen all season. Not to say that he
won't be able to adjust to it, but in a
one game scenario, you're talking about a team adjusting on
the fly, and you know they're probably prepared for just
about anything. But that's what I love about these play
(12:07):
in games, or these winner take all situations, is especially
in the play in right, because you didn't just spend
six games playing them. In game seventh. It's very rare
you can throw a surprise at a team in a
play in situation. You can throw a surprise out there,
and it'd be interesting to see if the Hornets can
handle that. And if they do handle it well and
end up winning, then I think you know, you can say,
all right, this is a playoff ready team potentially, but
(12:28):
it's going to be a nightmare if they end up
facing the Pistons in the first round, because that defense
is just disgusting.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Can the Celtics make any sort of noise or they
pass the noise phase of their organization like they're expected
to do things right?
Speaker 3 (12:41):
No, the Celtics are currently in the midst of making
noise right now.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
They are, yeah, because by playing the way they've been playing, this.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Was supposed to be, as Dalen Brown says, a gap
year for them, right. So, yeah, they absolutely are already
on the verge of making noise, but that now comes
with expectations. If they don't make the conference finals, it's
a huge upset. If they make the NBA Finals, that's
probably where they think they're going to be because above them,
in terms of the seedings, is a one seed with
very little experience and below them are some teams that
(13:08):
haven't proven anything.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Be sure to catch live editions of Stu Godson Company
Live weekday said three pm Eastern twelve pm Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Damon Stodamaier going to join us in about fifteen minutes.
Documentary comes out today on Netflix. Jail Blazers looking forward
to that. I remember me and Dan doing a segment
saying what teams deserve a thirty for thirty.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
And we took calls on it and everyone.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Called it and said the jail Blazers, the jail Blazers,
the jail Blazers. Well, somebody was listening and it was Netflix.
And again that movie comes out tonight. Damon Stottamaier going
to join us in just a minute before.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
We get to just me or Taylor. What's the score
of the soccer game?
Speaker 6 (13:58):
I mean it went to half mil nil boom cash
those tickets.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
It always does.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Nils everywhere.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Yes, all right, it's a weekly segment here. I need
some music for it.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Just me or.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Who is going to kick off the proceedings today? I
am told that Iowa Sam doesn't have one. I'm not
certain if ot Ricardo has one. He's usually watching baseball.
I know is he has one. I'm not certain if
Dan has one. We'll just go around the room. If you, oh,
thumbs up from Dan about that.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Let's start and feeling Dan is annoyed by us. So
he hates us?
Speaker 4 (14:35):
I mean, the only question is is he hate us
more than he.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Hates Iowa sick? That's impossible, bit.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
I don't know. All right, here's kicking himself awfully quiet, awkward.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Let's go to uh bord ot Ricardo here prying himself
away from the soccer match just for a second to deliver.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
Just me or all right?
Speaker 6 (15:03):
Is it just me?
Speaker 7 (15:04):
Or did Doc Rivers rivers experiment in Milwaukee go exactly
as expected?
Speaker 4 (15:10):
It's not just you.
Speaker 7 (15:11):
So he's like an action here at walking away from
an explosion that he just helped cause, yeah and saying
into the camera google me.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
Yeah, he is right.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
I love the jokes on Doc Rivers. I understand all
the hate that he receives. I just remember every time
I went to talk to Doc Rivers, the guy would
give me great answers, and it didn't even matter what
the subject was. Like, I could be talking to him
on a Tuesday when he's playing against the Houston Rockets,
and I'm asking him a Tyler Hero question the team
(15:41):
that he's not even playing. He'll give me a five
minute answer, well thought out, and I'm just like, you
know what, I like that guy.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
Yeah, I can't.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
I can't continue to poop on it.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
At least your opinions are not biased or anything.
Speaker 6 (15:51):
Jeez, can I ask you, guys a Doc Rivers question?
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (15:55):
Has his voice always been like that?
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Yes, it's been pretty bad for a long time. I
can't remember what a younger Doc Rivers sad.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
I mean, I didn't hear him speak as a child,
so I don't know.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Guys.
Speaker 8 (16:06):
Can I jump in here real quick? I actually heard
of saw a video of Doc Rivers from the nineties
when he was like a commentator. His voice is a
lot less scratchy. I think the years of years of
coaching he did actually at one point have a voice
that was clear and not scratchy. So if you look
up some Doc Rivers from the nineties, you'll hear his
original voice.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
Okay, all right, do I have to look that up?
Speaker 3 (16:27):
I'm not gonna do that, but thank you. I can
track the option, so see if I can find it.
Speaker 4 (16:31):
Let do why.
Speaker 9 (16:34):
Ten minutes later, I don't think this thing will be
found no dice spoiler alert.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
Now he'll tell us.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Dan right in the middle of Damon STOTTAMAI like, I
got it, Taylor, You're out?
Speaker 6 (16:48):
Is it just me? Or should our softball team not
have a bye every other week?
Speaker 4 (16:53):
A second bye? What a tea? What a league? This is?
Speaker 3 (16:57):
I love it? Actually?
Speaker 10 (16:58):
Well?
Speaker 1 (16:58):
First off, tell the audience how many weeks you guys
have been participating in this in the.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
So we started off, we signed up. There's five people
that know each other in this league. It's me, Taylor, Anthony,
a couple other people. And week one we had a bye.
Sweet off to Week two. Yes, Week two they played.
I did not play. I had one at bat because
I showed up late, and I think we only played
what three innings?
Speaker 6 (17:22):
Lost nineteen?
Speaker 3 (17:23):
Yeah, mercy rule after fifteen minutes.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
I love that. That's a quick night.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Week three unfortunately a rain out, or I'd call it
a dry rain out because it didn't actually rain. You
were celebrating, right, Oh man, what a night. And then
last week, I believe it was last week. I just
didn't show up. I wasn't feeling great and they showed.
Speaker 6 (17:41):
Up, they still lost, but month closer, we lost by five.
So this is technically week five. So for those people
keeping track at home, we've played two games and we've
had two bye weeks.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
But it was a regular how many innings is a
regular game.
Speaker 6 (17:57):
So it's timed. Okay, when they get five minutes left,
they say, okay, finish this inning.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
Okay, that's weird.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
I don't like that.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
So yeah, so we needed another break, so another by.
Speaker 6 (18:06):
This week's dude, impossible for our team to get into
a rhythm.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
Though, well yes, with all the boys right, and is
he not showing up and.
Speaker 6 (18:12):
Just generally beating bat weather?
Speaker 4 (18:14):
Delay? Is all of it? Mean?
Speaker 3 (18:16):
I heard our catcher is terrible.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
I'm surprised.
Speaker 6 (18:18):
You have to wait, My god, our cat are I
hope our catcher's not listening to this? And if he is,
shut shut your app right now. Our catcher is an aarp.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Okay, So Taylor, when when is he shows up? You
lose by sixteen and the night ends early. When he
doesn't show up, you'll lose by five.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (18:37):
Yeah, but it wasn't Easy's fault. Why why we like
he had one at bat and he didn't play in
the field. Yes, you know he struck out in only.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
He doesn't want to be there, Matt, if you're asking
for trends with me and Taylor as teammates, he didn't
show up for our double header in flag football this
past Saturday, and we won both games. So whenever Taylor
and I are on the field together, we don't win anything.
Let me tell you there, apart, you do way better.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
So you wouldn't care if the softball team won without you?
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Oh no, okay, great, I would encourage it right there
the more.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Yes, But Taylor, I am telling you right now, he
takes sports seriously. Yeah, And I am telling you there's
been a sleepless night or two yeah, over the fact
that your team flag football team won two games without him.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
Yes, Stu, you would.
Speaker 6 (19:20):
Love this from our softball game the past one that
we lost. We cut it to three, we're down three,
we're getting up in the in the lineup, and I
call this part of our lineup Murderers Row. And not
because they were great at hitting, but because they were
probably alive when Murderer's Row was playing in the nineteen twenties. Yes,
and they all struck out looking they went down, They
(19:41):
went down one, two, three.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
They should be ashamed of themselves.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
I'll take one of their spots on soffect.
Speaker 6 (19:47):
One of them was walking off the field and he's
our pitcher too. He's actually a pretty good pitcher, but
he's walking off the field and he looks at the
pitcher and he goes, pitch great pitcher, and one guy
on our team, who just had enough at this point,
goes swing the bat next time.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
Right, it's not the picture if you're not swinging.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Dan, you think I should let that one go Where
he said pitch great pitcher instead of pitcher great pitch.
I didn't. I didn't let it go. You don't have
to answer the question by.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
Asking him by extension you did not let it go?
Speaker 5 (20:19):
Is he never lets things go? No at all, he doesn't.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Yeah, he holds on to learn from the best. Yes,
let's go to update anchor. Dan here, Dan, you're up?
Speaker 9 (20:29):
Yeah, quick side note before I get to the is
it just me? Doc Rivers nineteen ninety one.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Oh, it's been a tough year.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
It's been a good year of batue.
Speaker 10 (20:38):
I mean there's been points in a season where I
thought it didn't matter who we play, we would beat
and it was no doubt about it.
Speaker 6 (20:44):
Their court to our core.
Speaker 10 (20:45):
Then there's been points where I thought anybody who wanted
to beat us could beat us. I don't know why
that happened, but if we get into playoff, there.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
Is that's a different human being.
Speaker 9 (20:54):
That is Doc Rivers nineteen ninety one. You can kind
of still hear the Doc Rivers today.
Speaker 4 (20:59):
Who who know that?
Speaker 3 (21:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (21:02):
Totally yeah, thirty seconds. Actually we got it.
Speaker 6 (21:07):
Dan pulled it before.
Speaker 5 (21:08):
Hold on, Dan pulled it before I. I had to
send to the editors be rolled in.
Speaker 6 (21:12):
Dan beat me to it, and that's exact same clip.
Speaker 5 (21:14):
Yeah, just Doc Rivers nineteen ninety interview.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
That's Laura.
Speaker 5 (21:17):
Then it popped up. First thing, Oh thanks Dan, send
my thunder.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
I was killing mine, right, But Dan, we got a
text and he said it would be ready in two minutes.
You played it in fifteen seconds. Fifteen seconds after he sent.
Speaker 5 (21:32):
Us that text.
Speaker 6 (21:32):
You're going to go through the proper channels here, guys.
Speaker 9 (21:35):
He's got to send it through Cedar falls and then I.
Speaker 5 (21:39):
Send my carrier pigeon.
Speaker 9 (21:40):
All right, is it just me? Or is bunker cam
completely worthless? And it dawned on me Sunday when Rory
was on the eighteenth holl and he was hitting his
shot from the bunker, and CBS has been grilled for
their coverage. We grilled them on Monday for all of
the things that went wrong. The one thing that we
need to know on Rory's third shot from the bunker
(22:01):
is where it lands. So I assume that those guys
in the truck were like, this is amazing, he's in
the bunker. Let's go to bunker cam. And it gives
us no information on what we really need in this
instance or any other instance when someone is in the bunker,
even when it stays in the bunker, if you're not
even focused on the ball, it's somewhere off to the
(22:23):
left and sand is flying in your face. So to me,
bunker cam completely useless in broadcasting golf.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Nobody has ever been more upset about a camera and
they're live, yeah, than Dan Byer is about.
Speaker 9 (22:36):
Bunker the opposite of pylon cam. Like pilon cam is amazing.
I love pylon cam, HM totally useful. This not so much.
Speaker 4 (22:45):
Right, sand cam you could do with that though, right.
Speaker 5 (22:48):
Yeah, bunker cam a waste of time.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
By the way, I always Sam I hope you have
the sound here of Jim Nantz. He was on the
Pat McAfee show. We did make fun of the coverage yesterday.
Why is it Jim Nance here? One second? He tells
me he's working on doc rivers from the nineteen nineties.
Speaker 4 (23:05):
Sound that we already played. If you get it, let
me know if it's long playblevision.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
We all make mistakes. I'm really proud of our crew.
Speaker 11 (23:14):
You're making, as you said, so many decisions, split second decisions.
Speaker 4 (23:20):
The things that were shown.
Speaker 11 (23:22):
Produced by our crew, hundreds of people involved over the
course of four days, some thirty hours of television.
Speaker 9 (23:29):
You know.
Speaker 11 (23:29):
I can't speak to the difficulty and some of the
decision making, some of the things that people are responsible for.
I just know that our crew is the best in
the business.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
Classic Nance.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
I would watch a streaming channel of Dan Byer and Iosa.
I'm just hanging out. He's at the camera, following them everywhere.
Speaker 6 (23:50):
He keeps up ending me here.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Yeah, well, he keeps stealing my thunder right, I'll do
your job better.
Speaker 8 (23:56):
I'm trying as fast I can, Danster, I mean, I launch,
you're getting pipped.
Speaker 5 (24:00):
I don't want Sam's job.
Speaker 4 (24:03):
Yeah, no, thanks, I was, Sam, do you have a
Is it just me? Or no? I don't Yes, that
was my contributions. He's coming, I mean after that, you
want you want Dan to do it for you?
Speaker 5 (24:15):
Sure, he's got a second one. Absolutely.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
This is what having a teenage son feels like. They
get disappointed in because that's kind of the it's washing
over me right now, I get it.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
I love them.
Speaker 6 (24:26):
Two pieces of audio that I was going to give
you the Dan beat.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
Me too, Absolutely miserable, Thank you Dan, ep Jason? Does
he have one today?
Speaker 6 (24:37):
Guys?
Speaker 3 (24:37):
Is it just me?
Speaker 11 (24:39):
Or?
Speaker 12 (24:39):
Is drafting the girlfriend of your star player a dicey proposition?
Speaker 4 (24:45):
Now?
Speaker 12 (24:45):
Hear me out? A team sports is a delicate ecosystem,
it is, and to disrupt that ecosystem in any way,
shape or form is dicey dangerous. And to put a
ton of money and resources into this if there is
a breakup, if there was something that breaks that delicate ecosystem,
(25:08):
the Dallas Wings are going to be worse off because
of it.
Speaker 6 (25:12):
Is it just me or what?
Speaker 5 (25:13):
Guys?
Speaker 3 (25:14):
I know as somebody who has dated a teammates currently
dating a teammate, it is a dicey situation.
Speaker 4 (25:22):
Who would have thought this is your wheelhouse.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Man, I know, yes, I will say in that scenario,
I mean, they they could date after the draft, right
if if they didn't, they could always just meet as
teammates and then ended up having a relationship there. So
I don't really think that not drafting somebody because they're
dating your star player is a reason not to draft
that person. I think it's crazy interesting, Like I think
you're I mean you talk about like the heated rivalry
(25:46):
stuff with that getting so much attention. That was a
fictional story based on the number one and number two
overall draft picks in the NHL. This is back to
back number one picks in the WNBA and they're already
on the same team.
Speaker 4 (25:59):
Like that?
Speaker 3 (25:59):
Is that talk about reality shows?
Speaker 1 (26:01):
I would watch, Yes, But your situation is a little
bit different.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
You're the coach, no I play. I mean, but you
are the coach.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
He's kind of the offensive captain as a quarterback, and
I know we kind of butt heads into the way
as well.
Speaker 9 (26:12):
There's a conflict of interest, right, so many conflicts.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
So many conflicts everywhere. I have the brain of a quarterback.
He has the ability of a quarterback, right, But.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Are you coming down on Anthony as hard as you
would on somebody else.
Speaker 4 (26:25):
You know what I'm saying, No, no, right.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
Things I say to him I wouldn't say to other
people is crazy because it should be the opposite.
Speaker 5 (26:33):
I think it's fascinating.
Speaker 9 (26:34):
I think it's so fascinating for a draft process as well,
when you're trying to when your career as a GM
would be on the line, like it's on the line
of their relationships, right, your career if it doesn't work
out as he said, you have two number one overall
picks back to back, and now you maybe have to
make a decision.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
But here's how I know it's not going to be
a problem with them just projecting forward. They have been
so lick about the relationship to begin with. It's not
like they've announced this right. This has been a sort
of quiet thing that's been going on since college, and
so I think they know they're you know, grown women
know how to handle their situation. That's the way they
come across. That's the way Page has always come across.
I don't really know fun that well, but that's the
(27:17):
way Page has always come across. So not worried about
it at all. If anything, it would be something that
draws more eyes to my team. And if I'm worried
about a breakup ruining my team chemistry, I'm probably you know,
thinking too far ahead.
Speaker 8 (27:29):
And guys, they kind of had excuse. They kind of
had a draft her. I mean, it's not like she
was just some fringe second round pick. She was going
to be Yeah, you're so ready, what happened there? That's
not a little fog in my throat.
Speaker 4 (27:40):
Dan has never looked more disappointed.
Speaker 8 (27:42):
Oh, I was just going to say they, I mean
she was she would have gone number one. Whoever was
gonna draft like they had.
Speaker 5 (27:46):
To take I don't know about that, but yeah, I mean.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Right, And just to be clear, you don't have a
just me or right, I mean, I just want to
piggyback on your guys.
Speaker 4 (27:57):
You have everything else, some of it late.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
But I mean I also don't want to say that
she wasn't like a consensus number one pick. That was
like two or three players that were considered potential number one.
This is what I'm.
Speaker 4 (28:07):
Saying in a world one a lot.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
Yeah, I.
Speaker 4 (28:12):
Stop talking where No, not you, Dan. I didn't say
that to you. Dan.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
I apologize. I thought it was Iowa was in keep talking, Dan,
I'm sorry.
Speaker 9 (28:20):
I was just gonna say we saw our number one
because Dallas was picking number one. In terms of a
prospect ranking, she may not have been number one, and
in some rankings she wasn't, but in mock drafts she
was because likely because it was in need for Dallas,
but also that relationship.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
And what I'm telling you is in a weird world
where is he is an NFL GM and Anthony is
eligible for the NFL draft and no one else has
him grated He's not going to be drafted at all?
Is he has the number one overall pick and he's
selecting Anthony? I mean because he's got to deal with
them at home. I mean, all right, let me wrap
up this game. All right, it's my turn?
Speaker 3 (28:59):
Is it? Just may Or? She would just exclude Iowa
Sam from all these games going forward, not just you.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Be sure to catch live editions of Stu Godson Company
Live Weekday, said three pm Eastern, twelve pm Pacific.
Speaker 4 (29:14):
Our thanks to Ian Rappaport for joining us.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Damon Stottameayer going to join us in our number two
Mighty Mouse.
Speaker 4 (29:22):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
I'm so proud of you, really because you said thank
you like you were annoyed.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
I'm not annoyed, just proud. Okay, yes, never annoyed, just proud.
He's growing up right in front.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
Of our Wow, you messed up the wrong word.
Speaker 4 (29:42):
I didn't purposely.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
It's a joke that carries over from seven years ago
on a different radio show.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
The second is either Taylor and born out.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Ricardo told me that there was a big time soccer
match going on.
Speaker 4 (29:57):
You have to call it a soccer match. What I
did it is I.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Put a bet in adjusted total under half a goal
in the first half. So, Taylor, what is the score
of this soccer game right now that's going on, this
big soccer game that is happening right now as we speak.
Speaker 6 (30:15):
Yeah, so there were two minutes away from halftime. Liverpool
needs two goals to at least force extra time. Zero zero,
thank you.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
It always is accent pack though, right.
Speaker 5 (30:28):
Jez.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
A lot of near goals maybe.
Speaker 6 (30:29):
No, not really. PSG's had the better chances. Liverpool's striker
got hurt, non contact injuries, but a disaster so far
the bus.
Speaker 4 (30:38):
How much time is left?
Speaker 1 (30:39):
I hope so because I have the under how much
time is left in this match? Two minutes and a
half in the half you're saying, right, and the half yeah, okay,
so I'm looking good.
Speaker 4 (30:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (30:48):
Neither team really looks like they're going for it right now.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
They never are. That's my problem with the sport. You
had a question for us, Taylor.
Speaker 6 (30:57):
Yeah, so the way they do it in the Champions League,
which we're in right now, it's played over two legs,
so each team gets a home match and then you
just take the combined score from those two legs and
then the winner moves on. So my question for you, NFL,
we're always trying to get more NFL games instead of
getting an extra regular season games too, why don't we
(31:18):
have a double legged wild card weekend? So like this
past wild card weekend, the Bills beat the Jaguars in
Jacksonville twenty seven to twenty four. R Well, what if
they played a return match in Buffalo where they had
to beat where the Jaguars now had a chance. Where
the game is basically starting Bills three, Jaguars nothing.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
So the Bills are spotting the Jags three. Well, the
Jags are spotting the Bills three. They're up three to nothing.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
Basically, a best of three game series is kind of crazy.
This is a version of a best of two.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
Right, But they're still prolonging the playoffs, right, I mean
we are technically playing an additional game, right.
Speaker 6 (31:56):
Yeah, you get double the playoff games?
Speaker 4 (31:58):
Are we doing this every round?
Speaker 6 (32:00):
So in the Champions League it's every round except for
the finals, So we can do that for the NFL
every round except for the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
Okay, So AFC championship game it is Chiefs and Bills.
They play in Kansas City. Kansas City wins by fourteen.
They go back to Buffalo and Casey is up fourteen
nothing to start the game.
Speaker 6 (32:17):
Yeah, I'm in. The more the more we're talking this out,
the more I'm in.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
Yes, I mean, I'm surprised it took me so long
to agree with you, but this is the greatest rule
change in the history of sports. If the NFL were
to go through with it, I mean, that's how you
do it, is that would be great?
Speaker 4 (32:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (32:34):
No, no, So I don't know if Taylor is proposing
that we shorten the regular season, but I'm assuming no. Right,
that's crazy, crazy, So you're talking about extending the playoffs
sure through March?
Speaker 4 (32:45):
Is that what we're talking You're round? I think?
Speaker 3 (32:47):
I mean, yeah, right, not go football.
Speaker 6 (32:49):
If it leads us right up to Augusta, that would
be ideal.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
Yes, really through March madness, you're taking away you're putting
playoff games in the middle of the NCAA tournament.
Speaker 6 (32:59):
Yes, yeah, So the super Bowl is the week before
the Masters. And then we cut to jim Nantz in Augusta,
and jim Nantz is like, I got it from here, guys, Hello, friends.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
I have the rest of the little break from the NFL.
I've got this, and then back to Iron Eagle. Now,
football is not going to make the mistake that soccer did.
And because I know, I don't think they do this
anymore with Champions League, where road scores count more.
Speaker 3 (33:22):
They're the tiebreaker. Right, road goals was the tiebreaker before.
You can't. It's ridiculous. Why why would that even matter
where you scored the goal? The field is the same.
Speaker 4 (33:32):
Wherever you are because they never score them.
Speaker 6 (33:34):
Yeah, and that rule has also been eliminated because I
think soccer even realized, like, hey, this is kind of dumb.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
So Buffalo is down fourteen to nothing against Kansas City
and they have to go immediately into like you know,
you know, no huddle offense. I mean yeah, because they're
playing catch up, right, I mean there's some urgency there.
Speaker 4 (33:56):
Do they get the ball first? The coins off it.
Speaker 3 (34:00):
I'd be happy if your defense coming out don't know,
we're good. We're gonna play prevent the entire game. You're
up twenty one.
Speaker 4 (34:06):
Oh god, I am so in.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
I mean, unfortunately the players Union, so out Player's Union.
Speaker 3 (34:13):
Every other sport should be out.
Speaker 6 (34:15):
And don't get me started on promotion and relegation because
that's a that's a whole different conversation.
Speaker 4 (34:20):
I want to get you started next

Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. Call in about anything.
Does it have to be what we're talking about, whatever's
on your mind? Ask us anything.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Don't ask me anything about the first episode of Estorious
season three that I haven't seen yet. I also have
not seen the untold on the Jailblazers yet, so don't
ask any questions about that necessarily, although we can ask
David Stodter. I have plenty of those questions.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
Yes, he will join us in hour number two.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Ian Rappaport will join us in about fifteen minutes to
get us ready for the NFL Draft. Taylor wrote me
a note today saying this is the worst Yankees team
his lifetime.
Speaker 5 (01:00):
Not worse.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Yeah, my least favorite, your least favorite last week it
was your favorite.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
Never He just wrote that down on a piece of
paper and just handed it to you.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
He does that occasionally, Yes he does. But me and
Taylor are very excited today. Really well, yeah, we have
Ian Rappaport, we have David Stotdommeaiyer, but we also have
someone who is willing to set the table the NBA
play in games or tonight they start tonight, the play
(01:31):
in Tournament. I told Taylor before we got started here,
that is he wanted to set the table for the.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
NBA play In Tournament.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
And he got equally as excited as I did when
you told it to me, is he?
Speaker 4 (01:44):
How about that?
Speaker 3 (01:45):
It's so crazy. You gotta be careful with the phrases.
The youth around here, the things that gets you gots excited.
I was looking for a throwaway away to explain how
you know we're going to talk about these playing games,
And as soon as I said set the table, the
man got super excited.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
I wrote it down. Look, I circled it. Look the
parentheses set the table. Well whatever, it's semicircle.
Speaker 6 (02:07):
So admittedly today I'm very distracted because I've got this
Liverpool Champions League game about to kick off, big Champions
League night in Anfield. But the second I heard Stu
Gotts mutter the words set the table, I perked up
and I said I took off one headphone. I say,
what did you say?
Speaker 4 (02:26):
Yeah? Yeah, you heard me correctly.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Yeah, I know you're at Liverpool guy.
Speaker 6 (02:28):
Yes, no, yep, up the Reds?
Speaker 4 (02:30):
So is up Board out Ricardo? I mean, you guys
are kindred spirits.
Speaker 7 (02:35):
I'm actually rooting for PSG, a team they're playing. Yeah,
I'm a diehard PSG guy.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
Yeah, okay, I'm just rooting for action.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
I mean, seriously, in any sort of soccer game that
I ever watched, just someone scored more than three goals?
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Did you say up the Reds?
Speaker 6 (02:48):
Yeap?
Speaker 3 (02:49):
What did I say?
Speaker 6 (02:50):
Not Chris the Bear, Felico Stu I think is who
you're confusing Board up Ricardo with. He's a Liverpool supporter.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
My fault. I think that should be the headline question
of this show. What did I set?
Speaker 1 (03:04):
If you were to ask me right now tell me
anything you've said in the first three minutes of this show,
I wouldn't be able to do it. I mean, how
about that set the table? Oh yeah, yes, semi circle.
So without any further ado, is he please? There is
a table to be set. Taylor and I are excited.
We are sitting down for dinner and is he is
(03:25):
going to set the table.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
You gotta set the table before you sit down for dinner, right,
that'd be pretty annoying if you sit down to a
blank table and then people start setting it around.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Yes, I guess you're right, we'll set it anyway.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Well, I've been telling Taylor that the Heat's going to
be playing against the Hornets tonight and three officials because
there just seems to be a lot more support for
the Charlotte Hornets, right, Like they're America's team. They're the
team that everybody wants to see because they're a little
bit intriguing, right They've got the kind of wackiness or
the yankiness of lamellow ball, and they've got this kank
(03:59):
nipple guy that everybody wants to know if he's any good.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
They're a team in which I think people are excited
about because they play in exciting style of basketball.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
They have some stars on that team.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
But they're also a team I think of all the
teams involved in the play in tournament, a team that
if they get out of the play in tournament, I
think people feel like maybe they can make a little
tiny run in the Eastern Conference.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
Is that fair?
Speaker 3 (04:21):
I think it's fair if they see if they're a
team that right now has some confidence, but I don't
think they have playoff level confidence right Like they need
to figure out if their starting lineup, which has since
it's been together has been spectacular, is a real thing
or if it's just kind of a regular season mirage,
especially late in the season. Maybe got a bunch of
games against some you know, teams trying to lose in there,
(04:44):
and so I don't know if they're super confident that
they can even in this game against Miami, because Miami
went into Charlotte earlier this season when Charlotte was at
its hottest and took that game.
Speaker 6 (04:54):
When does a teeny tiny runs to become make some noise?
Speaker 4 (04:58):
Uh Eastern Conference Finals? Wow?
Speaker 6 (05:00):
Right, they have to make the Eastern Conference Finals before
the Hornets can make some noise.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Yeah, the tiny run is the second round.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Yeah, you get to the second round, you lose, you
win the second round, you get to the Eastern Conference Finals.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
You're not expected to be there. Now you're making noise.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
I would argue teeny tiny run might be seven games
in the first round as a lower seed, as a
seven or eight seed, that could be a teeny tiny run.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Right, I don't know bord at Ricardo is disagreeing with
everything that I'm saying about Eastern Conference.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Finally, well, why I mean.
Speaker 7 (05:26):
I think it was the two thousand and four playoff
run where the Heat made a little run and got
to the second round with Dwayne Wade and we lost
to Indiana Pacers.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
I think it's seven.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
Yeah, that was the second round.
Speaker 7 (05:36):
You know, we made a little run there and he
ended up getting.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Well, that's what I'm saying is a teeny tiny run.
Had they won that series, they would have made some noise.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Actually, you know what I'm kind of with Ricardo here
taking the Pacers take it. So it was an upset
win in the first round against the against the New
Orleans Hornets, and then made some noise by taking the
Pacers to six. And I don't know what stan Van
Gundy was thinking by leaving Dwayne Wade on the bench
or play in Game six where they needed just one
more shot to tie the game. Even though he's not
(06:04):
a three point shooter, he was the Wayne freaking Wade.
But anyway, yeah, I would say that was making a
little noise.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
Because it's a playing team.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
So if they get to a second round of the
NBA playoffs, they have made some noise. What if it's like,
let's say the Lakers, if they get to the Western
Conference finals, have they made any noise?
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Make noise if it's in a place that you expect
to be even if you're seeding. Isn't that right? They're
what a five seed, four seed, so they're really only
expected to get to the second round if they go
one round further. If they're a veteran, confident team, that's
not making noise.
Speaker 6 (06:35):
Okay, It definitely depends on your team's expectations. Like if
the Knicks make it to the Eastern Conference finals, that's
not a really a teeny tiny run. They were expecting
to get there. They fired their coach to get there
and take them further. If the Hornets win the play
in and then they take the Pistons to game six
(06:55):
or a game seven, yeah, I think they're making noise.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
I think really, oh.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Wow, first round make noise, first round noise. I think
that's the teeny time you run. I don't think that's
making noise. The Knicks, to your point, they can do
neither for these entire playoffs. They can either make they
can make a teeny tiny run. They cannot make a
little bit of noise. They have to win it and
win it all. That's the only thing they can know.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
They make it to the NBA finals, they've made some noise.
They have they made.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
They just matched expectations if they make it to the NBA.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Listen, I am glad we are defining these things because
we need to, because sports radio has not yet done this,
and I am the commissioner up sports Radio and I'm
telling you we need to do it, and we're doing
it right now.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
We're setting the table. So, Taylor, what do you have
for us on this front?
Speaker 6 (07:37):
If the Knicks make the finals. Yeah, not only will
the Knicks be making some noise, We're gonna be making
sure you hear us making some noise.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Well that's what is he is protecting against, right, Yeah,
the tleis it's not a big deal, you know.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
No, I think they made some noise last year getting
to the conference finals first time in twenty five years.
You fire your coach with the expectation of getting to
the finals. That's not making noise. You can't be surprising people.
And when you're making noise, it's because you're surprising people.
It's not because people are matching expectations.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
So it seems that it's based on where your position
this year, what you did a year ago.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
So let me ask you this.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
If the Hawks make it to the Eastern Conference finals,
teeny tiny run or making noise, that's.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Making a lot of noise. I mean, I would argue
the Hawks have already made their teeny tiny run because they.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Just making it to the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
They got into the playoffs getting the seed they could
have had a five seed. They were very close to that.
So yeah, I would say they're in the middle of
a teeny tiny run. If they get to the conference finals,
that is making some noise.
Speaker 6 (08:39):
What about the Pistons. If the Pistons make the finals,
they're the one seed, so you would assume that's not
really making noise. If they make the finals expected, but
it's a team that really hasn't been there recently.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Question, So I would say, yes, they're making noise because
they are resetting their expectations with a guy coming back,
their leader coming back from a collapse lung. When you
have the will is read type of scenario, right, your
star is whatever under the weather, injured or something not
and you are going further than you thought you would
with an injured star. It's one hundred percent making noise. Huh,
(09:11):
Like when who was it? I think it was the
Celtics team without Kevin Garnett made a second round that
felt like a teeny tiny run. But there've definitely been
players or teams that have made noise with like injured
or less than one hundred percent players because it lowers
your expectations. So yes, they could still make a run.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
We have a phone call for is he here? Russell
and Phoenix? Go ahead, you're on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Hey, what's up, guys?
Speaker 3 (09:35):
I just thought i'd take advantage of Stu Gotts.
Speaker 6 (09:38):
You're offering to call in about anything.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Yeah, kind of a health question for you. Have you
been diagnosed or do you have any like, you know,
formal disorder with the chronic fake laugh thing.
Speaker 6 (09:49):
I was worried about your health.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
I thought you wanted to call in about Phoenix. I
mean you had an MBA question for Isy. I didn't
even know what health is you? What is he talking
about it?
Speaker 3 (10:00):
It's fairly just making fun of the fact that you
laugh all the time.
Speaker 6 (10:03):
Your cash all right, Sorry, I'm funny.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
I mean, listen, I am sorry that Taylor and Izzy
are so funny they made me laugh on a daily basis.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
I am sorry for enjoying my job.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
I am sorry that we're talking about sports, and sports
make me makes me laugh because we're talking about setting
the table and someone pays me a lot of money
to do this, and so that's why I.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
Laugh so much. I'm laughing all the way to the bank.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
What would be the medication to get you to stop
fake laughing?
Speaker 4 (10:31):
No money?
Speaker 6 (10:32):
That's a classic call screen though, where it's where he
says he's got an NBA question.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
I should be I should be applauding Russell.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
I should he got through the screener he had an
NBA question for.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
Is he and really he did it? What he was
doing was just taking a shot at my health. I mean, hey, is.
Speaker 6 (10:48):
The first time long time? What do you think about
Devin Booker this playoffs?
Speaker 3 (10:52):
I believe you invented that move right of squeaking by
the call screener and you know, saying that things in
Spanish are actually something else. That was Mark Cockman, it was.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
I've also myself called into many a sports radio show
telling him I wanted to discuss one thing and came
out with another. I mean, that's it's classic sports radio
caller stuff. Is he you know that you've called in
the shows before?
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Haven't you you know what that color did?
Speaker 4 (11:13):
Well?
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Made a little noise?
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Have you properly set the table here? Do you know.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
What else?
Speaker 3 (11:22):
I'll try to? All Right, so let's just say from
this of this game, in this Charlotte Miami situation anyway,
go sorry, that was good with Jarry. Guys, it was
which one of these two teams? Would you say you'd
say the Hornets have the more probable roster to make
some noise?
Speaker 4 (11:42):
Right?
Speaker 5 (11:44):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (11:45):
I think with the Miami Heat. The only thing that's
interesting is they have more experience in this type of game.
They might throw things at lamellow Ball that he might
not have seen all season. Not to say that he
won't be able to adjust to it, but in a
one game scenario, you're talking about a team adjusting on
the fly, and you know they're probably prepared for just
about anything. But that's what I love about these play
(12:07):
in games, or these winner take all situations, is especially
in the play in right, because you didn't just spend
six games playing them. In game seventh. It's very rare
you can throw a surprise at a team in a
play in situation. You can throw a surprise out there,
and it'd be interesting to see if the Hornets can
handle that. And if they do handle it well and
end up winning, then I think you know, you can say,
all right, this is a playoff ready team potentially, but
(12:28):
it's going to be a nightmare if they end up
facing the Pistons in the first round, because that defense
is just disgusting.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Can the Celtics make any sort of noise or they
pass the noise phase of their organization like they're expected
to do things right?
Speaker 3 (12:41):
No, the Celtics are currently in the midst of making
noise right now.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
They are, yeah, because by playing the way they've been playing, this.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Was supposed to be, as Dalen Brown says, a gap
year for them, right. So, yeah, they absolutely are already
on the verge of making noise, but that now comes
with expectations. If they don't make the conference finals, it's
a huge upset. If they make the NBA Finals, that's
probably where they think they're going to be because above them,
in terms of the seedings, is a one seed with
very little experience and below them are some teams that
(13:08):
haven't proven anything.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Be sure to catch live editions of Stu Godson Company
Live weekday said three pm Eastern twelve pm Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Damon Stodamaier going to join us in about fifteen minutes.
Documentary comes out today on Netflix. Jail Blazers looking forward
to that. I remember me and Dan doing a segment
saying what teams deserve a thirty for thirty.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
And we took calls on it and everyone.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Called it and said the jail Blazers, the jail Blazers,
the jail Blazers. Well, somebody was listening and it was Netflix.
And again that movie comes out tonight. Damon Stottamaier going
to join us in just a minute before.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
We get to just me or Taylor. What's the score
of the soccer game?
Speaker 6 (13:58):
I mean it went to half mil nil boom cash
those tickets.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
It always does.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Nils everywhere.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Yes, all right, it's a weekly segment here. I need
some music for it.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Just me or.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Who is going to kick off the proceedings today? I
am told that Iowa Sam doesn't have one. I'm not
certain if ot Ricardo has one. He's usually watching baseball.
I know is he has one. I'm not certain if
Dan has one. We'll just go around the room. If you, oh,
thumbs up from Dan about that.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Let's start and feeling Dan is annoyed by us. So
he hates us?
Speaker 4 (14:35):
I mean, the only question is is he hate us
more than he.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Hates Iowa sick? That's impossible, bit.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
I don't know. All right, here's kicking himself awfully quiet, awkward.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Let's go to uh bord ot Ricardo here prying himself
away from the soccer match just for a second to deliver.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
Just me or all right?
Speaker 6 (15:03):
Is it just me?
Speaker 7 (15:04):
Or did Doc Rivers rivers experiment in Milwaukee go exactly
as expected?
Speaker 4 (15:10):
It's not just you.
Speaker 7 (15:11):
So he's like an action here at walking away from
an explosion that he just helped cause, yeah and saying
into the camera google me.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
Yeah, he is right.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
I love the jokes on Doc Rivers. I understand all
the hate that he receives. I just remember every time
I went to talk to Doc Rivers, the guy would
give me great answers, and it didn't even matter what
the subject was. Like, I could be talking to him
on a Tuesday when he's playing against the Houston Rockets,
and I'm asking him a Tyler Hero question the team
(15:41):
that he's not even playing. He'll give me a five
minute answer, well thought out, and I'm just like, you
know what, I like that guy.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
Yeah, I can't.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
I can't continue to poop on it.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
At least your opinions are not biased or anything.
Speaker 6 (15:51):
Jeez, can I ask you, guys a Doc Rivers question?
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (15:55):
Has his voice always been like that?
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Yes, it's been pretty bad for a long time. I
can't remember what a younger Doc Rivers sad.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
I mean, I didn't hear him speak as a child,
so I don't know.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Guys.
Speaker 8 (16:06):
Can I jump in here real quick? I actually heard
of saw a video of Doc Rivers from the nineties
when he was like a commentator. His voice is a
lot less scratchy. I think the years of years of
coaching he did actually at one point have a voice
that was clear and not scratchy. So if you look
up some Doc Rivers from the nineties, you'll hear his
original voice.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
Okay, all right, do I have to look that up?
Speaker 3 (16:27):
I'm not gonna do that, but thank you. I can
track the option, so see if I can find it.
Speaker 4 (16:31):
Let do why.
Speaker 9 (16:34):
Ten minutes later, I don't think this thing will be
found no dice spoiler alert.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
Now he'll tell us.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Dan right in the middle of Damon STOTTAMAI like, I
got it, Taylor, You're out?
Speaker 6 (16:48):
Is it just me? Or should our softball team not
have a bye every other week?
Speaker 4 (16:53):
A second bye? What a tea? What a league? This is?
Speaker 3 (16:57):
I love it? Actually?
Speaker 10 (16:58):
Well?
Speaker 1 (16:58):
First off, tell the audience how many weeks you guys
have been participating in this in the.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
So we started off, we signed up. There's five people
that know each other in this league. It's me, Taylor, Anthony,
a couple other people. And week one we had a bye.
Sweet off to Week two. Yes, Week two they played.
I did not play. I had one at bat because
I showed up late, and I think we only played
what three innings?
Speaker 6 (17:22):
Lost nineteen?
Speaker 3 (17:23):
Yeah, mercy rule after fifteen minutes.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
I love that. That's a quick night.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Week three unfortunately a rain out, or I'd call it
a dry rain out because it didn't actually rain. You
were celebrating, right, Oh man, what a night. And then
last week, I believe it was last week. I just
didn't show up. I wasn't feeling great and they showed.
Speaker 6 (17:41):
Up, they still lost, but month closer, we lost by five.
So this is technically week five. So for those people
keeping track at home, we've played two games and we've
had two bye weeks.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
But it was a regular how many innings is a
regular game.
Speaker 6 (17:57):
So it's timed. Okay, when they get five minutes left,
they say, okay, finish this inning.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
Okay, that's weird.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
I don't like that.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
So yeah, so we needed another break, so another by.
Speaker 6 (18:06):
This week's dude, impossible for our team to get into
a rhythm.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
Though, well yes, with all the boys right, and is
he not showing up and.
Speaker 6 (18:12):
Just generally beating bat weather?
Speaker 4 (18:14):
Delay? Is all of it? Mean?
Speaker 3 (18:16):
I heard our catcher is terrible.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
I'm surprised.
Speaker 6 (18:18):
You have to wait, My god, our cat are I
hope our catcher's not listening to this? And if he is,
shut shut your app right now. Our catcher is an aarp.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Okay, So Taylor, when when is he shows up? You
lose by sixteen and the night ends early. When he
doesn't show up, you'll lose by five.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (18:37):
Yeah, but it wasn't Easy's fault. Why why we like
he had one at bat and he didn't play in
the field. Yes, you know he struck out in only.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
He doesn't want to be there, Matt, if you're asking
for trends with me and Taylor as teammates, he didn't
show up for our double header in flag football this
past Saturday, and we won both games. So whenever Taylor
and I are on the field together, we don't win anything.
Let me tell you there, apart, you do way better.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
So you wouldn't care if the softball team won without you?
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Oh no, okay, great, I would encourage it right there
the more.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Yes, But Taylor, I am telling you right now, he
takes sports seriously. Yeah, And I am telling you there's
been a sleepless night or two yeah, over the fact
that your team flag football team won two games without him.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
Yes, Stu, you would.
Speaker 6 (19:20):
Love this from our softball game the past one that
we lost. We cut it to three, we're down three,
we're getting up in the in the lineup, and I
call this part of our lineup Murderers Row. And not
because they were great at hitting, but because they were
probably alive when Murderer's Row was playing in the nineteen twenties. Yes,
and they all struck out looking they went down, They
(19:41):
went down one, two, three.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
They should be ashamed of themselves.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
I'll take one of their spots on soffect.
Speaker 6 (19:47):
One of them was walking off the field and he's
our pitcher too. He's actually a pretty good pitcher, but
he's walking off the field and he looks at the
pitcher and he goes, pitch great pitcher, and one guy
on our team, who just had enough at this point,
goes swing the bat next time.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
Right, it's not the picture if you're not swinging.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Dan, you think I should let that one go Where
he said pitch great pitcher instead of pitcher great pitch.
I didn't. I didn't let it go. You don't have
to answer the question by.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
Asking him by extension you did not let it go?
Speaker 5 (20:19):
Is he never lets things go? No at all, he doesn't.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Yeah, he holds on to learn from the best. Yes,
let's go to update anchor. Dan here, Dan, you're up?
Speaker 9 (20:29):
Yeah, quick side note before I get to the is
it just me? Doc Rivers nineteen ninety one.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Oh, it's been a tough year.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
It's been a good year of batue.
Speaker 10 (20:38):
I mean there's been points in a season where I
thought it didn't matter who we play, we would beat
and it was no doubt about it.
Speaker 6 (20:44):
Their court to our core.
Speaker 10 (20:45):
Then there's been points where I thought anybody who wanted
to beat us could beat us. I don't know why
that happened, but if we get into playoff, there.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
Is that's a different human being.
Speaker 9 (20:54):
That is Doc Rivers nineteen ninety one. You can kind
of still hear the Doc Rivers today.
Speaker 4 (20:59):
Who who know that?
Speaker 3 (21:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (21:02):
Totally yeah, thirty seconds. Actually we got it.
Speaker 6 (21:07):
Dan pulled it before.
Speaker 5 (21:08):
Hold on, Dan pulled it before I. I had to
send to the editors be rolled in.
Speaker 6 (21:12):
Dan beat me to it, and that's exact same clip.
Speaker 5 (21:14):
Yeah, just Doc Rivers nineteen ninety interview.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
That's Laura.
Speaker 5 (21:17):
Then it popped up. First thing, Oh thanks Dan, send
my thunder.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
I was killing mine, right, But Dan, we got a
text and he said it would be ready in two minutes.
You played it in fifteen seconds. Fifteen seconds after he sent.
Speaker 5 (21:32):
Us that text.
Speaker 6 (21:32):
You're going to go through the proper channels here, guys.
Speaker 9 (21:35):
He's got to send it through Cedar falls and then I.
Speaker 5 (21:39):
Send my carrier pigeon.
Speaker 9 (21:40):
All right, is it just me? Or is bunker cam
completely worthless? And it dawned on me Sunday when Rory
was on the eighteenth holl and he was hitting his
shot from the bunker, and CBS has been grilled for
their coverage. We grilled them on Monday for all of
the things that went wrong. The one thing that we
need to know on Rory's third shot from the bunker
(22:01):
is where it lands. So I assume that those guys
in the truck were like, this is amazing, he's in
the bunker. Let's go to bunker cam. And it gives
us no information on what we really need in this
instance or any other instance when someone is in the bunker,
even when it stays in the bunker, if you're not
even focused on the ball, it's somewhere off to the
(22:23):
left and sand is flying in your face. So to me,
bunker cam completely useless in broadcasting golf.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Nobody has ever been more upset about a camera and
they're live, yeah, than Dan Byer is about.
Speaker 9 (22:36):
Bunker the opposite of pylon cam. Like pilon cam is amazing.
I love pylon cam, HM totally useful. This not so much.
Speaker 4 (22:45):
Right, sand cam you could do with that though, right.
Speaker 5 (22:48):
Yeah, bunker cam a waste of time.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
By the way, I always Sam I hope you have
the sound here of Jim Nantz. He was on the
Pat McAfee show. We did make fun of the coverage yesterday.
Why is it Jim Nance here? One second? He tells
me he's working on doc rivers from the nineteen nineties.
Speaker 4 (23:05):
Sound that we already played. If you get it, let
me know if it's long playblevision.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
We all make mistakes. I'm really proud of our crew.
Speaker 11 (23:14):
You're making, as you said, so many decisions, split second decisions.
Speaker 4 (23:20):
The things that were shown.
Speaker 11 (23:22):
Produced by our crew, hundreds of people involved over the
course of four days, some thirty hours of television.
Speaker 9 (23:29):
You know.
Speaker 11 (23:29):
I can't speak to the difficulty and some of the
decision making, some of the things that people are responsible for.
I just know that our crew is the best in
the business.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
Classic Nance.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
I would watch a streaming channel of Dan Byer and Iosa.
I'm just hanging out. He's at the camera, following them everywhere.
Speaker 6 (23:50):
He keeps up ending me here.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Yeah, well, he keeps stealing my thunder right, I'll do
your job better.
Speaker 8 (23:56):
I'm trying as fast I can, Danster, I mean, I launch,
you're getting pipped.
Speaker 5 (24:00):
I don't want Sam's job.
Speaker 4 (24:03):
Yeah, no, thanks, I was, Sam, do you have a
Is it just me? Or no? I don't Yes, that
was my contributions. He's coming, I mean after that, you
want you want Dan to do it for you?
Speaker 5 (24:15):
Sure, he's got a second one. Absolutely.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
This is what having a teenage son feels like. They
get disappointed in because that's kind of the it's washing
over me right now, I get it.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
I love them.
Speaker 6 (24:26):
Two pieces of audio that I was going to give
you the Dan beat.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
Me too, Absolutely miserable, Thank you Dan, ep Jason? Does
he have one today?
Speaker 6 (24:37):
Guys?
Speaker 3 (24:37):
Is it just me?
Speaker 11 (24:39):
Or?
Speaker 12 (24:39):
Is drafting the girlfriend of your star player a dicey proposition?
Speaker 4 (24:45):
Now?
Speaker 12 (24:45):
Hear me out? A team sports is a delicate ecosystem,
it is, and to disrupt that ecosystem in any way,
shape or form is dicey dangerous. And to put a
ton of money and resources into this if there is
a breakup, if there was something that breaks that delicate ecosystem,
(25:08):
the Dallas Wings are going to be worse off because
of it.
Speaker 6 (25:12):
Is it just me or what?
Speaker 5 (25:13):
Guys?
Speaker 3 (25:14):
I know as somebody who has dated a teammates currently
dating a teammate, it is a dicey situation.
Speaker 4 (25:22):
Who would have thought this is your wheelhouse.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Man, I know, yes, I will say in that scenario,
I mean, they they could date after the draft, right
if if they didn't, they could always just meet as
teammates and then ended up having a relationship there. So
I don't really think that not drafting somebody because they're
dating your star player is a reason not to draft
that person. I think it's crazy interesting, Like I think
you're I mean you talk about like the heated rivalry
(25:46):
stuff with that getting so much attention. That was a
fictional story based on the number one and number two
overall draft picks in the NHL. This is back to
back number one picks in the WNBA and they're already
on the same team.
Speaker 4 (25:59):
Like that?
Speaker 3 (25:59):
Is that talk about reality shows?
Speaker 1 (26:01):
I would watch, Yes, But your situation is a little
bit different.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
You're the coach, no I play. I mean, but you
are the coach.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
He's kind of the offensive captain as a quarterback, and
I know we kind of butt heads into the way
as well.
Speaker 9 (26:12):
There's a conflict of interest, right, so many conflicts.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
So many conflicts everywhere. I have the brain of a quarterback.
He has the ability of a quarterback, right, But.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Are you coming down on Anthony as hard as you
would on somebody else.
Speaker 4 (26:25):
You know what I'm saying, No, no, right.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
Things I say to him I wouldn't say to other
people is crazy because it should be the opposite.
Speaker 5 (26:33):
I think it's fascinating.
Speaker 9 (26:34):
I think it's so fascinating for a draft process as well,
when you're trying to when your career as a GM
would be on the line, like it's on the line
of their relationships, right, your career if it doesn't work
out as he said, you have two number one overall
picks back to back, and now you maybe have to
make a decision.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
But here's how I know it's not going to be
a problem with them just projecting forward. They have been
so lick about the relationship to begin with. It's not
like they've announced this right. This has been a sort
of quiet thing that's been going on since college, and
so I think they know they're you know, grown women
know how to handle their situation. That's the way they
come across. That's the way Page has always come across.
I don't really know fun that well, but that's the
(27:17):
way Page has always come across. So not worried about
it at all. If anything, it would be something that
draws more eyes to my team. And if I'm worried
about a breakup ruining my team chemistry, I'm probably you know,
thinking too far ahead.
Speaker 8 (27:29):
And guys, they kind of had excuse. They kind of
had a draft her. I mean, it's not like she
was just some fringe second round pick. She was going
to be Yeah, you're so ready, what happened there? That's
not a little fog in my throat.
Speaker 4 (27:40):
Dan has never looked more disappointed.
Speaker 8 (27:42):
Oh, I was just going to say they, I mean
she was she would have gone number one. Whoever was
gonna draft like they had.
Speaker 5 (27:46):
To take I don't know about that, but yeah, I mean.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Right, And just to be clear, you don't have a
just me or right, I mean, I just want to
piggyback on your guys.
Speaker 4 (27:57):
You have everything else, some of it late.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
But I mean I also don't want to say that
she wasn't like a consensus number one pick. That was
like two or three players that were considered potential number one.
This is what I'm.
Speaker 4 (28:07):
Saying in a world one a lot.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
Yeah, I.
Speaker 4 (28:12):
Stop talking where No, not you, Dan. I didn't say
that to you. Dan.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
I apologize. I thought it was Iowa was in keep talking, Dan,
I'm sorry.
Speaker 9 (28:20):
I was just gonna say we saw our number one
because Dallas was picking number one. In terms of a
prospect ranking, she may not have been number one, and
in some rankings she wasn't, but in mock drafts she
was because likely because it was in need for Dallas,
but also that relationship.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
And what I'm telling you is in a weird world
where is he is an NFL GM and Anthony is
eligible for the NFL draft and no one else has
him grated He's not going to be drafted at all?
Is he has the number one overall pick and he's
selecting Anthony? I mean because he's got to deal with
them at home. I mean, all right, let me wrap
up this game. All right, it's my turn?
Speaker 3 (28:59):
Is it? Just may Or? She would just exclude Iowa
Sam from all these games going forward, not just you.

Our thanks to Ian Rappaport for joining us.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Damon Stottameayer going to join us in our number two
Mighty Mouse.
Speaker 4 (29:22):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
I'm so proud of you, really because you said thank
you like you were annoyed.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
I'm not annoyed, just proud. Okay, yes, never annoyed, just proud.
He's growing up right in front.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
Of our Wow, you messed up the wrong word.
Speaker 4 (29:42):
I didn't purposely.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
It's a joke that carries over from seven years ago
on a different radio show.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
The second is either Taylor and born out.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Ricardo told me that there was a big time soccer
match going on.
Speaker 4 (29:57):
You have to call it a soccer match. What I
did it is I.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Put a bet in adjusted total under half a goal
in the first half. So, Taylor, what is the score
of this soccer game right now that's going on, this
big soccer game that is happening right now as we speak.
Speaker 6 (30:15):
Yeah, so there were two minutes away from halftime. Liverpool
needs two goals to at least force extra time. Zero zero,
thank you.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
It always is accent pack though, right.
Speaker 5 (30:28):
Jez.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
A lot of near goals maybe.
Speaker 6 (30:29):
No, not really. PSG's had the better chances. Liverpool's striker
got hurt, non contact injuries, but a disaster so far
the bus.
Speaker 4 (30:38):
How much time is left?
Speaker 1 (30:39):
I hope so because I have the under how much
time is left in this match? Two minutes and a
half in the half you're saying, right, and the half yeah, okay,
so I'm looking good.
Speaker 4 (30:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (30:48):
Neither team really looks like they're going for it right now.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
They never are. That's my problem with the sport. You
had a question for us, Taylor.
Speaker 6 (30:57):
Yeah, so the way they do it in the Champions League,
which we're in right now, it's played over two legs,
so each team gets a home match and then you
just take the combined score from those two legs and
then the winner moves on. So my question for you, NFL,
we're always trying to get more NFL games instead of
getting an extra regular season games too, why don't we
(31:18):
have a double legged wild card weekend? So like this
past wild card weekend, the Bills beat the Jaguars in
Jacksonville twenty seven to twenty four. R Well, what if
they played a return match in Buffalo where they had
to beat where the Jaguars now had a chance. Where
the game is basically starting Bills three, Jaguars nothing.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
So the Bills are spotting the Jags three. Well, the
Jags are spotting the Bills three. They're up three to nothing.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
Basically, a best of three game series is kind of crazy.
This is a version of a best of two.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
Right, But they're still prolonging the playoffs, right, I mean
we are technically playing an additional game, right.
Speaker 6 (31:56):
Yeah, you get double the playoff games?
Speaker 4 (31:58):
Are we doing this every round?
Speaker 6 (32:00):
So in the Champions League it's every round except for
the finals, So we can do that for the NFL
every round except for the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
Okay, So AFC championship game it is Chiefs and Bills.
They play in Kansas City. Kansas City wins by fourteen.
They go back to Buffalo and Casey is up fourteen
nothing to start the game.
Speaker 6 (32:17):
Yeah, I'm in. The more the more we're talking this out,
the more I'm in.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
Yes, I mean, I'm surprised it took me so long
to agree with you, but this is the greatest rule
change in the history of sports. If the NFL were
to go through with it, I mean, that's how you
do it, is that would be great?
Speaker 4 (32:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (32:34):
No, no, So I don't know if Taylor is proposing
that we shorten the regular season, but I'm assuming no. Right,
that's crazy, crazy, So you're talking about extending the playoffs
sure through March?
Speaker 4 (32:45):
Is that what we're talking You're round? I think?
Speaker 3 (32:47):
I mean, yeah, right, not go football.
Speaker 6 (32:49):
If it leads us right up to Augusta, that would
be ideal.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
Yes, really through March madness, you're taking away you're putting
playoff games in the middle of the NCAA tournament.
Speaker 6 (32:59):
Yes, yeah, So the super Bowl is the week before
the Masters. And then we cut to jim Nantz in Augusta,
and jim Nantz is like, I got it from here, guys, Hello, friends.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
I have the rest of the little break from the NFL.
I've got this, and then back to Iron Eagle. Now,
football is not going to make the mistake that soccer did.
And because I know, I don't think they do this
anymore with Champions League, where road scores count more.
Speaker 3 (33:22):
They're the tiebreaker. Right, road goals was the tiebreaker before.
You can't. It's ridiculous. Why why would that even matter
where you scored the goal? The field is the same.
Speaker 4 (33:32):
Wherever you are because they never score them.
Speaker 6 (33:34):
Yeah, and that rule has also been eliminated because I
think soccer even realized, like, hey, this is kind of dumb.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
So Buffalo is down fourteen to nothing against Kansas City
and they have to go immediately into like you know,
you know, no huddle offense. I mean yeah, because they're
playing catch up, right, I mean there's some urgency there.
Speaker 4 (33:56):
Do they get the ball first? The coins off it.
Speaker 3 (34:00):
I'd be happy if your defense coming out don't know,
we're good. We're gonna play prevent the entire game. You're
up twenty one.
Speaker 4 (34:06):
Oh god, I am so in.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
I mean, unfortunately the players Union, so out Player's Union.
Speaker 3 (34:13):
Every other sport should be out.
Speaker 6 (34:15):
And don't get me started on promotion and relegation because
that's a that's a whole different conversation.
Speaker 4 (34:20):
I want to get you started next
