Speaker 2 (00:49):
There have been some decisions in sports that have made
headlines over the last couple of weeks that have been
some head scratchers. We're not talking about Schloss niggling, But
there have been other decisions. Moncey Belanos has a bone
to pick with one that ends up being spotlighted and
highlighted because of another decision that was made that's going
(01:10):
to come up in about twenty minutes or so. Plus
the Miami Dolphins apparently low balling to a tongue of
Iiloa and his contract demands or wants. Maybe they're not
demands just yet, but where that situation sits in Miami
is something that we will dive into. Plus Kevin Durant
could be a Houston Rocket. Monsy wants to know, if
(01:31):
you're a Durant fan, what are you doing with all
those jerseys? But it's Wednesday, it's the middle of the show.
The crew is here, It's time for.
Speaker 5 (01:42):
The midware, It's time.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
The midword. Yeah, us, yeah, I don't even know what
just happened there. If you're my best Danny guy, what
he was doing?
Speaker 6 (02:07):
Thank you for avoiding dead air there. I had to
find the stage of their folks.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
That's all right. Iowa Sam is here, Ryan Bursting, our
Nick cop hanging out with Monzy Blagos and myself, Dan Beyer.
NBA draft is tonight. We start with NBA draft memories
or just thoughts about the NBA draft, takes about the
(02:32):
NBA draft, anything NBA draft related, and Moncey Blagos. We
are going to start with you. If I say, NBA draft,
what pops up in Moncy, Blagos is mine.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
I'm not gonna lie to you.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
I don't pay attention to a lot of NBA drafts,
except of course, for two thousand and nine, when the
Clippers were bound to select.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Everyone knew, there was.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
No question about it that we were going to be
selecting the one and only Blake Griffin. You know, I
feel like that was a really big moment for the Clippers.
The Clippers have never really been on the map before
Blake Griffin.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
The excitement was there.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Yes, he got hurt his first, you know year in
the NBA and went on to win the Rookie of
the Year the following year, But it was really like
a time when you felt like the Clippers were going
to be a place that other players were going to
want to go play, Like you really, I felt so
excited about.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
It for the first time. You know, Elton brand had.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
Left us, like I don't know, five years before that
or something very sad moment in Clipper history when Elton
Brand left. But when Blake Griffin came to the Clippers,
that was it. That was the beginning of a really
big change for the Clippers organization.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
I was very exciting.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
And if I remember correctly, because Blake missed his rookie
season because of injury, right, there was a time where
you're like, oh no, not us again, and it almost
free dates.
Speaker 7 (03:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Still Enning was the number one overall pick in nineteen
eighty eight knee injury. curR was never the same. Olawa
Candy was a bust when he took him number one overall.
So maybe all of a sudden, Blake is an art.
You're like, here we go again. But then, as it
turns out, when he came back healthy, magnificent And that's.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
Probably how he felt in the moment.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
But you know now we're so removed from it that
it's a positive thing.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Only can I can I ask you this, and I
expect your one hundred percent pure honesty. Do you regretted
all that you didn't take James Hardner Steph Curry? No,
I didn't think so either. I think that Curry is.
It took Curry a while to become Steph Curry. Yeah,
(04:41):
and there was a point where he was even brought
up in trade conversations in Golden State before he became
Steph Curry. But it's funny because I think that those
two have better NBA careers.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Yeah, you could say that.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
But in terms of the time and what they were,
I can understand why you wouldn't. That's actually kind of.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
Why I Yeah, no, I would not take back any
of those Lob City years, not at all.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
What about DeMar DeRozan?
Speaker 4 (05:08):
No kid, No, I mean I watched James Harden play
in high school. Sure, you know, I went to gar
he was at Artesia.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
But no, no, Blake Blake. I love Blake.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
And I was that the school you hit seven threes four? No, No,
it was it was so it was that school. Yeah,
Manzi's sharp shooting. Oh you know, all right, Ryan Berschinger,
when you think of NBA draft, what do you think of.
Speaker 8 (05:31):
You know, I used to be really into the NBA draft,
and it would it would be kind of the the
basis for my my best and worst hot takes growing up.
This is where I would formulate really my opinions and predictions.
It was it was through NBA drafts, and so I
felt really proud because in two thousand and seven was
(05:52):
the year the Greg Odin went one, and the entire
time that that happened, I said, this is this is awful.
Kevin Durant is going to be a star. Why would
they pass up on Durant to go Odin one? Katie's
going to be the much better player?
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Really?
Speaker 8 (06:06):
That was that was That's a take that I'm very
proud of.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Let's go on hi, by the way, Yeah, just just
to interject, Yes, Olden was so dominant in the little
bit that he played, and especially in the National Championship game,
a game that they lost against Florida, but still was
like when you look at that Florida team that went
back to backs and you saw how dominant he was
and they beat Georgetown on the fire like those final
(06:29):
four games in that tournament run. Because he only played
in about half the games Ohio State had that year
because he had a wrist injury early on. But it
was like They're like, for as great as Durant was,
I still think outside of Birsch, who absolutely knew Durant
was going to be the guy, I still think Olden
was the No. Brainer, and I can't fault.
Speaker 8 (06:48):
For I understand they it was the the rationale made
total sense. At the time I was, I was just
incredibly high on Tsure. I thought it was going to
be great. Next year Derek Rose goes number one, and
the entire time I'm saying, no, no, this is this
is Michael Beasley's what are you thinking passing up on
(07:10):
Michael Beasley? This guy is going to be an absolute stud.
So yeah, that's I can't I can't pat myself on
the back for one take without bringing up my various.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Bad days as well. It's welcome here. Doug always brings
up to Steph Curry. Yeah, you know, as we were
talking about in his breakdown of that draft, so bad
draft decisions. I have a bad draft decision. When I
first moved out to Southern California, it was two thousand
and five and the Bucks had the number one overall pick,
and the decision then was likely between Andrew Bogant and
(07:42):
Marvin Williams of North Carolina. Even though Darren Williams and
Chris Paul were available in the draft, it was really
either Williams or Bogut, and I went to a Clippers
draft party at Staples Center where they were, you know,
celebrating the draft, and I forgot even new the Clippers
drafted that night. But you were allowed to go on
the court and shoot a free throw, and I shot
an airball, okay, because it's a depth perception, man exactly
(08:08):
what it was. It looked like it was three feet
away from me. And if I would have felt like
I did my normal free throw shooting where I shot
while Manzi's hitting seven three is a game. I think
I was a good fifty seven percent free throw shooter
from the line back in my high school days. Yeah,
fifty seven percent. I did not want to brick it.
And it seems so close, and it was so embarrassing
(08:30):
that I shot an air ball and the eight year
old that was behind me in line probably at least
hit the river backboard. So you want to talk about
draft nightmares, there's one for me, Nick Kope.
Speaker 9 (08:40):
I was gonna say, does Monsey even remember who the
Clippers drafted in two thousand and five?
Speaker 2 (08:44):
No, I'm Yaroslav.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Coral v of course, No, Dull, that's right.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
There were a chance of coral v O. There weren't.
We were just shooting airballs.
Speaker 9 (08:55):
I've got I've got some audio for you guys, because
when you say NBA draft, I think of one man.
Speaker 7 (09:05):
We've had to explain to our international audience that the
boo is an American sign of respect.
Speaker 9 (09:18):
Let me say he gets cheers.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
David Stern. David Stern the guy he did not want
to mess with, that is for sure. Now. His voice
was synonymous of Gi just of the announcements. Yeah, there
was this cadence, there was this presentation with it so deliberate.
Speaker 9 (09:38):
Yah, wasn't it earlier that that was from twenty thirteen.
I believe it was his last draft that he did.
But wasn't that earlier too? Remember he was begging the
crowd on it, like you have more booze, like.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
I miss David Stern. I'll tell you what. We're gonna
play a piece of audio. We'll get Iowa Sam's thoughts
as well. This is another draft memory of mine. This
goes way back. This goes way back to nineteen ninety two.
True story. This was our This was our voicemail message
for our home phone for a while. For those of
you that don't know, my idol growing up was Jimmy Jackson,
(10:12):
who played basketball at Ohio State and he was drafted
in the nineteen ninety two draft. And this is what
it sounded like.
Speaker 7 (10:19):
The Dallas Mavericks selected Jimmy Jackson from Ohio State University.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
So if you called my house at any point in
the early nineteen nineties after nineteen ninety.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
Two, that was the answer.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
That was the answering machine. But what you had to
do because of technology, you had to take your tape recorder,
your boombox, put it up to the TV speaker and
then plus play a record on the tape. And then
I had to take that tape and play it into
the voicemail the voicemail machine that we had and then
(10:52):
hit record there. So it was like two generations of it.
But you know, thanks to my mom, she let me
have jim Jackson's be a draft announcement be our voicemail
for overver years from Ohio State University. It was about
that quality as well. That's probably how it sounded. And
then you would hear and that's where you would leave
your message.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
That's awesome.
Speaker 6 (11:13):
Yeah, I loved it. That sounds vintage. That sounds nostalgic, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
It does. I do think in the older years Stern
was a little more deliberate in his announcement of announcing
picks as he got more settled in, but still there
was that same somewhat cadence of David Stern. It's a
very good pick, I was, Sam, Did you have it?
Do you have any NBA draft memories for training camp,
for any trading camp memories as well? That was me talking.
Speaker 6 (11:42):
I don't remember much except for we'll go back, and
we'll go back nine years, nine whole years ago. I
gotta go with the way back song there. So Frank
Kaminski forward for Wisconsin, one of my favorite players to watch,
took them all the way to the National Championship Game.
Didn't they beat an undefeated Kentucky team that year? Yes,
(12:02):
yes they did. That was a really legendary Wisconsin team.
For the draft, he showed up wearing a custom uh
tailored Frank the Tank suit with little cartoon tanks embroidered
inside the blaser and I think it was like von
Mauer Yonkers or Nordstrum or actually not even Nords, from
(12:23):
that's too fancy. Maybe like Dillard's and they like custom
Taylor the suit for him, and I just remember that
being a big deal.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Is he still in the league. By the way, Frank Cominsk,
I think he's riding the pine somewhere, isn't he. I
do not know. Do you know that they married Ashley Brewer?
He did so, but I don't know. By the way
that Sam Decker, by the way, may come back into
the league.
Speaker 6 (12:47):
Sam Decker was a part of that three Wisconsin team.
Really fun to watch for a while. And sorry, no, no,
it's good little add on there. And also that was this.
That was also the Christaps Porzingis draft, and you know
how they were, how he was received by the New
York Knicks fans. And listen, when he's a healthy player,
he's fantastic. Problem has been his health. Christaps Perzingis so.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Frank the tank, by the way, played in Serbia last year. Okay,
you're a league if either one of you can get
David Stern announcing the Chris Webber Penny Hardaway trade. I
thought we maybe even had it in the system. Doug
Lesty have on air production meetings. It is for Nick
to play the David Stern and David Stern knowing the moment,
(13:29):
knowing the booze and making the joke. He also knew
drama the way that he drew it out and I
actually I may have actually put it in the system
guys the last couple of months ago. But it was
because this was when the NBA Draft I think was
at its peak, because college basketball was where it was,
(13:49):
where it was just as it felt just as big
as the NBA. And if it wasn't because the NBA
was so huge, it was still just a really really
big deal. And the two biggest names were Chris Webber
and Penny Hardaway. New Orlando Magic had got the number
one pick for the second straight year. You're like, Howard
Shack and Chris Webber going to play together, and uh,
(14:11):
this is this is how it sounded them. This is
David Stern bringing the moment to its absolute crescendo.
Speaker 7 (14:17):
Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to report a trade.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
That's a breed. He's smiling.
Speaker 9 (14:26):
Yeah, it's great, smiling again.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
Getting on the details, Yeah, pausing, Jess, Orlando has.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Traded the draft rights to Chris Webber to Golden State.
Speaker 7 (14:50):
In exchange for the draft rights to Anthony Harroway. And
you were the future first round draft picks which will
be exercised at the earliest in the years nineteen ninety six,
(15:12):
nineteen ninety eight, and two thousand.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Two thousands, very far away. Who cares about that. That's
that's forever. We may not even get there. We might
not even get Why did you just give him an
next d It was just a master class on drama.
Ah And I'll tell you what a lot of us.
To Sam's point about the Frank Kaminski suit, we were
brought back memories with the commercial with Carmelo, Anthony, Kendrick
(15:36):
Perkins and TJ. Ford and during with their draft day
suits that they wore two thousand and three.
Speaker 6 (15:42):
Yes, yes, I call that the big pun of Fat
Joe era of suits, large suits for large men.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Great times. The fashion at the NBA drafts didn't even
know what Zachary Resache is going to be wearing tonight.
The fashion at NBA drafts is something that can be.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
You can tell what time period we were in by
what they're wearing. Yes, you really can't. Like nowadays we
see chains, you know, like heavy chains, all glitz and glamour.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
I feel like there was a time when we didn't
see that.
Speaker 6 (16:13):
Fewer ties, I think these days, yeah, fewer blazer, nice
shirt maybe buttoned all the way to the top with
like a little some kind of little.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Jewel or something. There's always a jewel.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
There's not a lot of ties or some ties, but
you know what you're going to get tonight, beige hats.
Manzi hates these draft hats.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
I just why beige across the board for all the team?
Speaker 2 (16:34):
I think it's the deal they signd with Dockers. I
think that's why they just like, yeah, they end up
matching the pants. Well they are. They are whack all whack.
I played the I played the the Jim Jackson sound
on my voicemail. We just heard the Penny Hardaway Chris
Webber trade. Those draft hats have tried to come back recently,
(16:55):
like the the the design of it, but they didn't
make them low cut. Everything now, I swear for the
past twenty years has got like you've got like the
hat is just enormous, yes, and I just can we
just have slouch caps, you know or something that is
just like a low dead ho file that's all mean, Yeah,
that's all like, can we have that? Please?
Speaker 9 (17:18):
The stiffest, tallest hats.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
I'm like, my head's not in there, have all this
extra space between the hats.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
My head Yeah, it's a balancing act. I just can't
we just get like a nice fitting slouch hat to
wear because that the caps back of the day fit.
I thought very well, And for the past twenty or
so years, it just hasn't hasn't worked out all right,
Draft Dave Memory, we'll remember those things. Who knows, Maybe
tonight we'll remember where Zachary reesonche went and talk about
(17:48):
it on the Midway. Ten years from now, you can
send us your favorite draft memories. Hit her up at
Manzi Blanas. You can find me at Dan Byer on Fox.
Coming up next the US women Olympic team. We won't

Speaker 2 (19:12):
Doug Gollim Show on Fox Sports Radio. NBA Draft is tonight.
Monty hates the draft caps.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Hear not.
Speaker 4 (19:18):
I don't understand why they're beige. I don't understand why
we have to put so much on them. I feel
like this is the perfect opportunity for teams to bring
back their og logos, logos and then just put.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
On the side like NBA Draft twenty twenty four. That's it.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
I'm gonna put this up on X on Twitter. If
you want to take a look at the NBA draft caps,
the ones that Manty is not happy about. No NBA
draft caps yay or nay nay. Yeah, that's pretty good.
That's that's pretty good. By the way, I am so
(19:57):
confused sometimes how x works. So if the link doesn't
show up, not my problem. Okay, I did most of
the work. Just click on it. It should work. It's
not going to take you anywhere that you don't want
to go. And it just popped up and it just
has new era because they.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Provide the Oh yes, that's yeah, you have to click
on it.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
So Nick nick Cope's gonna give usn updating a little bit.
And there's a story he's been reporting on on Olympic soccer.
And I know your heart is broken, Manci, but in
a way you maybe feel that a lesson could be learned,
maybe not from the US women's soccer team, but another
US women's team. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
Yeah, So the US soccer team just released their list
for the Olympic team and Alex Morgan is not in it.
I love Alex Morgan. I wish I was wearing her
jersey right now, but you know, she is definitely not
in her prime. You could say she's lost a little
bit of her steps. So it is sad that Alex
Morgan is not on the team. She's already tweeted something
(20:55):
that she's said about it, but she's going to be
supporting the team obviously. And the reason for this is
because the team wanted to go a little bit younger.
In fact, this is the youngest that the US Olympic
team has been since two thousand and eight, and the
fourth youngest in history for the US soccer team. They're
going in with an average of twenty six point eight
that is average age. Last time in twenty twenty, the
(21:17):
average age for the soccer team was thirty point eight.
So they just wanted to go a little younger, right understandably.
So like, again, sad that Alex Morgan is not on.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
The team, but I get it.
Speaker 7 (21:28):
Huh.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
The women's Envy or the women's basketball Olympic team literally
could have done this, Diana Tarassi.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
Everyone loves you, you are amazing, but you did not
need to be on this roster. They should have gone
towards a younger generation. And oh, Kaitlyn Clark could have
been on the roster.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
Soccer doesn't even have like a start, like a Kaitlyn Clark,
rising star that everybody's talking about, and yet they are
doing the decision for the future. We are bringing in
the younger talent to get a pep in our steps
so that we can compete.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
And basketball could have done that, but they chose to
just put the team together.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
Based on who deserved it, based on experience in the past.
And here's a perfect example of a team that's like, hey,
you are awesome, your history shows it, your accolades show it,
but we're going to go younger.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
And there's nothing wrong with that.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
You mean, Alex Morgan didn't criticize the younger players that
were actually put on the team.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
Alex Morgan did not say any of that.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Now, I think there is a group that would say
Alex Morgan and Caitlin Clark are maybe the same, that
they're looked at in a way of where they're loved
by so many, but their game doesn't necessarily match on
being with the team. So I know you're looking at
me kind of weird. But Alex Morgan, we all know
Alex Morgan's name, just like we all know Caitlin Clark's name, right,
(22:49):
So I think that there could be an argument made
that way. I would also say, and correct me if
I'm wrong, I feel that the Women's World Cup is
bigger than the Olympics. It is, I would agree, you're
going to like take a you know, soft launch, let's
take a run. Let's not that they're using the Olympics
(23:11):
as a training ground, but you want to make sure
that your World Cup run when it comes up in
a couple of years, is your team is set at
that point just.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
As strong as it's been throughout Plaska.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Yeah, and I would think that the women's maybe back
like this is the crescendo for women's basketball. Like there,
I know that I believe that there are women's basketball
international competitions, none that rise to the level of the
World Cup. So that you have the Olympics. So the
Olympic Golden women's basketball means more than an Olympic Golden
women's soccer. Of course, so maybe it's maybe it's not
(23:45):
as much apples to apples.
Speaker 4 (23:47):
No, no, but it just they went the point here
is they chose to go younger at this point and
let go of somebody who is a fan favorite. Sure,
and here we have like two fan favorites. Yeah, but
you we still could have gone the younger route. We
could have brought in the new talent, not just even
Caitlyn Clark. You could have added more, you know what
(24:09):
I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Like, I also think that honestly, that nobody is feeling
bad for Alex Morgan.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
No, and I'm just sad about it.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
But yeah, yeah, you're sad about it. But it's not like, oh,
she needed this for her resume so that she's getting
jobbed or not at all, not at all. She's not
getting slost nageled by anything.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
No, no, no, no no, But you know, she's just
been part of it for so long and a big
part of it.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Of an era is a part of it as well,
have an era, but to usher in like there's a
sacrifice that needs to be made to usher in a
new era.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
Exactly.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
I'll tell you what the way that Angel Reese has
played for the last week. Yeah, you want to talk
about like like playing in terms of all right, if
you were to go with a youth movement, and I know,
obviously a team needs to be set in time so
they can have their their their camp and end up
playing in the Olympic game. But if you're going to
use the youth movement argument. It's only been used for
(25:05):
Caitlyn Clark. I've been very critical of Angel Reese, and
I feel that sometimes Angel Reese is all about Angel Reese.
But you know, in this instance as well, like if
you were going to do a youth movement sort of thing,
here could be another opportunity to well, geez, Angel reach
just came off of a twenty five and sixteen effort,
you know, so to that point, if you're actually going
(25:25):
to stick to your if you had a plan to
go young, it isn't just about Caitlin Clark and watching
the you know, have the eyeballs.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
Watching the Totally agree because now we're a little bit
removed from that story that Kaitlyn Clark didn't make the roster.
But you're right, Angel Reese has like really been delivering
for the Chicago Sky.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
How great if they were both on that team.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
Yeah, it would so many people would tune in, especially
because you know, we're creating this rivalry between them, and
imagine if they would have been on the roster together.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
I feel my response was similar to Caitlin Clarks whence
she was asked if she was excited to play with
Angel Reese. On the All Star team, like yeah, be
a lot of fun. Yeah, like yeah, yeah, I'm curious
on how it would it would work. Do you see
parallels Iowa Sam as our Kitlyn resident Caitlyn Clark fan
on the Doug Gottlieb Show. Do you see it as
Mancy sees it, that US soccer understands and US women's
(26:16):
basketball is missing out. Yes, I agree with that.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
I do.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Shocker, let's go to Nick Cup for the latest stuff.
Just kidding, just he's giving us all that's happening. I
would again, So Iowa Sam not he doesn't like the
Indiana Fever jerseys they look whack, but the Iowa Caitlin
Clark jerseys no problem.
Speaker 6 (26:37):
Listen, Moncey, I gifted Mancia jersey and she settled on
the classic black and yellow Iowakaitlan Clark jersey as well.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
This is true, But Sam, they look very similar. You're
tripping what? They look very similar the Fever jersey in
the Iowa. Yeah, it's just a dark shirt with I.
Speaker 6 (26:54):
Don't like the numbers. That's what I don't like about it.
It looks kind of like just like the font. Again,
it comes back to font, the.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
Font, the fund it's not the font.
Speaker 6 (27:04):
Yeah, I don't even know what that's from Jason Smith
Show or something, but again I don't. Yeah, I like
the design of it's like a little bit more old school,
like it looks like could be on a jersey.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Sure, the shersey, the fever shersey. I'm like, eh, yeah,
I saw some Indiana Fever jerseys at the local sporting
good store and if you want to buy one for me,
like i'd wear it. Well, I considered it until you're like, yeah,
I was, don't look any good, all right, So then
I was like, all right, noted they had no other
w NBA player, no Hammeron Brink, no Angel Reefs, no
(27:36):
Diana Tarassi, no Brianna Stewart.
Speaker 6 (27:39):
I bet you can find like a Kaitlin Clark Fever
jersey at like a truck stop in North Dakota, Like
I wouldn't be surprised. Yeah, And then you can find
like magnets and you know, bumper stickers as well, all
in the same departments.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Wall Drug in South Dakota. South Dakota.
Speaker 6 (27:52):
Yeah, I've been there, love Wall Drug, free ice water,
great time at Wall Drug, great time Chatchkeville.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Hope you've been there. Huh. Yeah, I've never take Nakota
one of the states. Haven't been to gimmicky South Dakota.
Speaker 9 (28:03):
When you're driving across South Dakota, especially going east to west,
I mean the build up because of the amount of
billboards on the side of the road. You're you're just
can't wait to get to Waldrug because you've been seeing
the billboards for hours?
Speaker 2 (28:16):
Have you dug Waldrug is a common one that you
keep seeing? Have you dug it?
Speaker 10 (28:20):
Man?
Speaker 2 (28:20):

Speaker 4 (28:54):
I know the Suns can't right do that to or
move Kevin Durant because it's like, you put so much
into this, But Kevin Durant on the Rockets does interest me?
To be honest with you, I think the Rockets were
a really solid team last year who just didn't have
a number one scorer, but they played well as a team.
They had good defense, They had a nine game winning streak.
(29:18):
I might be off eight nine games like. They had
a lot of good moments throughout the season without like
a number one star.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
So it intrigues me, Well, who.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Would look worse the Sons giving up on their plan
or Durant on another team.
Speaker 4 (29:34):
I think the Suns because I this is gonna sound
a little bit sad, but Kevin Durant goes to another
team and I feel like we're all like, yeah, huh,
that's what he does.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
You're probably right, I think it would. Just that's why
I think, like, if you're the Suns, because you have
this new ownership with Ishbia coming in, You're like, oh,
thank goodness he's taken over for Sarvar, things are going
to be better, and it's been pretty much a mess
even with that, with on court and some off court stuff.
The acquisition in a Bradley Beil didn't do anything. But
you thought you had this big three. And now when
you look at the way that the West is constructed,
(30:05):
Minnesota's going to be there. Okay, she's going to be there. Obviously,
we believe Dallas is going to be there. Denver we
still think is legit. And you're trying to break through.
Who knows what happens with the Lakers your Clippers, Like
it's just it's a momblet. But I think that you
know what you know about the Phoenix Suns. Yeah, like
even with the Lakers, Like I think that Lebron James
and Anthony Davis are closer to winning a title than
(30:26):
Kevin Durant would be with the Phoenix Suns right now.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
And so if you're that point, like giving up on
your plan after a year, you know, just it just
seems really really awful. But the Pistons did it with
Monty Williams and they're ready to start over again.
Speaker 4 (30:39):
Yeah, it seems awful. But it's like, if you know
this doesn't work, why would you just keep running it back.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
Yes, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (30:46):
And the Rockets were there. They were pretty much in
the plane tournament until the very end, but they were
in it.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
So it just intrigues me.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
She's Monty Belanos. I'm Dan Byer. I'm intrigued that how
the Miami Dolphins are treating to a tongue of our loa.

Nick Cope is back in his normal seat, ready to
give us the press, the press, giving us the headlines
of the day and so much more. Hello Nick, Hello,
Dan Monsey, Jess Well.
Speaker 9 (32:21):
In the biggest off season, or maybe the second biggest
after Dak Prescott of will they won't they? To a
tongue of I Low and the Miami Dolphins Well, Jeff
Darlington of ESPN had a report that the Dolphins are
not offering the contract that his market value says. We're
not at a panic point just yet, but he said,
based on his conversations, they are not in the ballpark
(32:44):
of a contract like Jared Golf or Trevor Lawrence.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
Thank goodness, yes, always get good.
Speaker 3 (32:51):
I was thinking the same.
Speaker 4 (32:52):
Thing, Yes, stop giving these players this ridiculous amount of
money because you're pushing at every single time.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
So it's good. It's good for the whole market of
what is the quarterback right now?
Speaker 2 (33:07):
Yeah, if you're making fifty five million dollars a year
like Trevor Lawrence is, there's obviously got to be some
growth and some expectation. Is Trevor Lawrence show that he
is worth fifty five million dollars? No, but the reason
that you drafted him and and what he could provide
with the number one overall pick. I feel if that
you feel if you're the Jaguars, he can grow and
(33:29):
be the guy to cover warts, to cover up problems
with your team. I think Tua is who he is,
and that's that's where when I'm looking at salaries and
you're just talking about average salary of the golf at
fifty three million a year, if you were to give
him forty five million dollars a year, which is what
Kirk Cousins makes, I'm kind of good with that. But
(33:51):
there's also the fact of like, if you're Tua, if
you win a Super Bowl with Miami, I think it
shuts everybody up. And I don't think that you're going
to shut them up with your stats or your numbers
or like it's winning football games, it's going to Kansas City,
winning in the cold, being able to play in that
sort of those sort of elements, And the best way
to do that is not to surround yourself with all
(34:12):
these weapons. It's also to be able to fill out
a team. And if two is taking up fifty five
million dollars of your cap, it doesn't behoove the team.
Like Mahomes and Brady giving their team's discounts and have
better salaries like that works. You get fill it out,
you can win titles that way. I think that's TWA's
best plan.
Speaker 4 (34:29):
Yeah, I was just gonna bring Patrick Mahomes and Tom
Brady never being in the top paid quarterback during their
time in the NFL, like right now with Patrick Mahomes,
yet he is the quarterback in the league. With Tua,
I don't know if it's that he is who he is.
I think obviously his history with injuries is a big
(34:49):
thing that they're probably thinking about a lot.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
Yeah, and it should be.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
It should it should be.
Speaker 4 (34:56):
But yeah, I just think it's okay to not pay
your quarterback fifty five million and just pay them forty
five or it's Okay, guys, it is okay.
Speaker 10 (35:05):
To do that.
Speaker 3 (35:06):
Just because the Shawn Watson and the Browns made a stupid.
Speaker 4 (35:09):
Decision a couple of years ago doesn't mean everybody has
to follow in that direction.
Speaker 2 (35:12):
They had some devastating injuries the Dolphins did on defense
last year as well, significant injuries which hurt them. I
still just don't think that they were ready to go
and win a Super Bowl with that team. And while
I think that Tua is a fine quarterback and a
great quarterback, still through fourteen interceptions last season, there's room
for him to improve, just like there is for Trevor Lawrence.
(35:34):
But the way that Tua is really going to get
the recognition that he deserves is if he's holding up
that Lombardi Trophy, in my mind, which would silence a
lot of a lot of doubters. And I think it
helps Russell Wilson immensely. Even though that he wasn't the
star that he was later on in his Seattle years,
wasn't the player that he was when he won the
(35:54):
Super Bowl. I feel that always helps Russell Wilson's legacy.
If you put that with Tua and the Dolphins. He
took less which allowed you to fill out your team
because I don't think you can fill the gaps. Yeah,
it's a no brainer. I think that's two. I asked
to look at that, but yeah, good for the Dolphins
to not Yeah, why overpay?
Speaker 9 (36:11):
Yeah, guys, I saw today NBC is going to use
AI to recreate al Michael's voice for custom recap videos
for the upcoming Olympics in Paris.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
Even got a little sample for you.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
Since you're a swimming fan, Let's head right to the
pool team USA Security shinning victory and the men's four
by one hundred meter medley relays.
Speaker 9 (36:35):
A that's AI al Michael stuff. I will remind everybody
that al Michaels is alive.
Speaker 3 (36:40):
I was gonna say, did he say it?
Speaker 4 (36:42):
No, one don't want to do it, and they said,
jokes on, you were still using you, I mean for free.
Speaker 9 (36:48):
It seems like al Michael's be like, yeah, I don't
want to do that, and then they're like, okay, what
if we do this? And he's like, all right, it's
a little weird, but okay, I hope.
Speaker 4 (36:56):
That's not what he said, because then that's the beginning
of I'm a slippery slope where yeah, no, that's awful.
Speaker 3 (37:03):
I hate that everything about that.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
No, and he's still longer than NBC, right because you
left to go to Amazon.
Speaker 9 (37:10):
So you know he did that like one off playoff game,
So maybe there's still there's still some sort of relationship there.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
I think that there's cachet that comes with the Olympics,
and obviously his do you Believe in Miracles call is
the most legendary that there is. But then he was
doing some hosting yea as well. Yes, but that's just
what they get out there and pressed that was the press.
We're gonna have a fake Bob Costas from the command
center and Ai and again whenever AI said, I still
(37:41):
think allan Iverson there's that will never go away. I
don't know if it'll ever go away. She's mancy. I'm Dan.
We'll talk to you later.
Speaker 3 (37:48):
Bye.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
What you know about basketball
