Speaker 2 (00:29):
The way tire buying should be. Hey, what up?
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Welcome in Hope, you're doing great. It is the middle
of the day. It is the middle of the week.
It is the middle essentially of our show, right, and
so we like to do this every.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Wednesday, hump Day. What what we call it the midway?
It's not getting the middle, It's time for duck in
the middle.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
The midway.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Okay, so the midword.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Sometimes it starts pertaining a sports. Sometimes it does not
totally understand. Ryan Berschinger, would you like to give out
what today's topics?
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Please?
Speaker 4 (01:17):
Yes, yes, So now we are in the start of
the NBA Playoffs. I mean, technically you own the play
in tournament here with the playoffs kicking off. And I
have always felt this way about the NBA playoffs. It's
too damn long. Today is April sixteenth. Two months from today,
it's possible we will still not have an NBA champion crowned.
(01:41):
A Game seven of the NBA Finals this year would
be on June twenty second, So it's entirely possible. Yeah,
that the NBA Playoffs can last for over two months,
one sixth of a calendar year. That is so long,
and the playoffs have only gotten larger, right with the
expansion of the play in tournament. I've always felt that
(02:02):
the first round should be five games at most, But
of course, once you open the door to playoff expansion,
more games and media rightes deals and TV deals and
ad revenue and all that, you can never roll it back.
So unfortunately, this is just how the playoffs are always
going to be. But I've always been the old man
(02:22):
shaking his fist of the cloud saying the NBA playoffs
are too damn long, And so this got me thinking.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
What's.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
Ring is too damn high. I just don't like now.
Of course, it doesn't personally impact me. I don't really
have any sort of emotional investment in any sort of
NBA team. I just don't like how long the playoffs are.
So today, for the midway, we're talking about old man
yelling at the cloud, old man yelling you to yelling
at you to get off your lawn, get off of
my lawn. Well, these are old man takes that you have.
(02:57):
It can be about sports or anything beyond. So yeah,
for me, one of them is definitely the NBA playoffs
are too damn long, and I'm never gonna feel differently
about it.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
All Right, I got one. Can I do it? My
old man boys?
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Please?
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Can we not have road teams where white uniforms? For
God's sake.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
I turn on the TV once I know how these
remote control thing with jiggy works, and I see a
team wearing white, I assume the game is in there arena,
only to find out that's no longer the case.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
That's a good one.
Speaker 6 (03:34):
That sounds that sounds strikingly similar to your lou Holt's voice.
By the way, that's not.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
That's right better the other one?
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Yeah, we actually no Dame. Okay, we did no Dame.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
We bore If football is dipp it football, you went
a dark judge get home.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
You had a light judgey at the road. We never
wear a white home jersey no day. Why no, Dame Sandy?
Do you hear? Wake up the echoes? You don't even
think that? Well?
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Wow?
Speaker 5 (04:01):
And I when I would go watch Coach Holts this
team play, like, can you I remember what you were
in the stands?
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Yeah? Those are not the same voices.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Hello anyway, Yeah, it's just a bone I had to pick, Like,
I don't when do we get to this place to
where we're like, yeah, sure you wear wait in the road,
why not?
Speaker 4 (04:23):
All right?
Speaker 3 (04:24):
I got one the midward. First of all, this super
is too warm.
Speaker 7 (04:29):
All right.
Speaker 6 (04:29):
So my gripe is with the NFL continually trying to
get bigger in all departments in terms of number of
games during the regular season, expansion and world domination. I
have for years said the most it should ever be
(04:50):
is eighteen regular season games with two bye weeks and
two preseason games.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
But I wonder if.
Speaker 6 (04:55):
We're going to be sitting here in thirty years talking
about a twenty game NFL regular season, which I think
would be way to the point of diminishing returns. I
also feel that the NFL and NBA should give up
this idea of having teams part of the league in
Europe or elsewhere, because logistically, from a free agency standpoint,
(05:18):
it's just never going to work. I mean, I guess
I can understand the NFL having games in Europe, and
this year they're gonna have another one in Brazil, and
for all I know, they're gonna have a game on
an iceberg in Antarctica in twenty years. But they should
kind of taper down on world domination. They don't need
to dominate the rest of the world internationally more than
(05:39):
they're doing now, and they do not need to expand
the regular season game, certainly beyond eighteen. I will get
off my soapbox.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
They're not going to be on a team, but they'll
go to eighteen.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
They will, just as long as they don't go past that.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Sure, sure, okay, Chris, what do you got?
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Sorry?
Speaker 8 (06:01):
I was digging around my bowl of Werther's originals here
as we set up for this to give to your grandchildren. Yes, exactly,
you know, delicious treats. What can you say? I feel
like it's finally hit me. There's no other way around it.
I thought maybe we'd get a bit of sanity. I
know it was a long shot. Rule proposed that defensive
(06:22):
holding stops being an automatic first down. Maybe those new slide,
but like, defense is too penalized in the National Football League,
in all of football, really, at this point, I didn't
even feel this way back when we had like, you know,
Rams Chiefs with an eighty burger game in Mexico City
way back.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
But now I've hit that point.
Speaker 8 (06:44):
I get tired when I'm seeing all the flags thrown
for a defensive player just barely touching someone. I get
tired of seeing a spot foul for DPI. I'm tired
of looking at a great, fantastic play but oh wait,
hold on, here comes the flag. Everything is tilted too
much to the offense. You can have cool plays from
the defensive players too. I'm tired of doing this. The
(07:05):
scoring is too damn high. These guys are running too
damn far. Everyone's too afraid to touch guys out there.
Bring defense back, Bring hard nose football back. I feel
like it's like a bell curve of me where it's
like I like defense to like the middle part where
you got the nerdy guy going, no, this is perfectly fine.
You have this, you know, beautiful game where everyone gets
(07:26):
to pass and epa per play. And now I'm back
to serene monklike defense wins championships and I want defense
back in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Okay, I would say I have more again, this is
more old bake it off my lawn stuff. The the
new numbers in basketball and football.
Speaker 8 (07:54):
Oh, I'm with you a good one, yes, yes, I
fully agree.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
So just for people to understand that used to be
a rule in basketball, Yeah, all numbers had to be
five or less. And you know, because for the official
to go over to the table, they had to be
able to present your foul based upon your number with
one hand, got two to two with a wipe with
a hole. Right now you can't do it. Now they've
(08:19):
allowed every every single number. So like he got guys
wearing like ninety seven, Like what is that? And of
course then of course football was like.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
We want numbers. We had our numbers.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Now that we don't want positional numbers, and now their
numbers are ridiculous too.
Speaker 8 (08:34):
Yeah, there's linebackers out there with number fourteen. It's like
I don't. I don't get that at all.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
I got fourteen's the mic, fourteen's the mic.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
I got so used to being able to identify position
groups by their numbers, and now it's just a mess.
And it is weird, like that's something that I grew
up with, and now seeing a receiver be like twenty
five or something like that, just it makes no sense.
Speaker 8 (08:59):
By the way, and I know it's been around for
a while too, but like zero as a jersey number,
that just screams like, yeah, this guy's just trying to
be cool by claiming zero. Zero shouldn't be a jersey
number in any sport. I'm sorry that that should be.
That should be for the mascot.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
The mascot should have zero.
Speaker 8 (09:17):
Yeah, the mascot should have zero or something, but like
actual players shouldn't have zero.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
I don't hate that as a rule. I don't hate
that as a rule.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Yeah, I got I got lots of them. Okay, here's
an old man kind of get off my line. Thing is,
obviously everybody hates so when we go to the when
we go to the monitor for review. But even worse
is when a lot of times in football stadiums they
won't show the review in case they, in case they,
(09:49):
you know, make it against the home team. She's just
sitting out there waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, like, let's go
at least show me the replay, Show me the replay.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
I got others.
Speaker 8 (10:02):
Yeah, you know.
Speaker 6 (10:04):
It kind of brings to mind your comment about numbers,
only in a totally different way. I think that the
NBA product has had a disservice done to it by analytics.
I think that analytics have transformed the NBA as an
entertainment product in a negative way. From an x's and
(10:27):
o's inside coaching and playing winning and losing standpoint, I
don't have a problem with it, but I think it's
negatively affected the entertainment product of NBA games. I think
for the NFL it's either not affected it or improved it.
And I think in Major League Baseball, I think it's
(10:49):
also affected Major League Baseball negatively, though less negatively as
the NBA. And I don't really need to know all
this launch angle exit velocity stuff on telecast. And I
really sound like an old man in a straw hat
chewing peanuts on that one.
Speaker 5 (11:10):
Heck it up by lot, You know, I really hate
I hate beers that are fifteen dollars for a beer.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
I hate that, you know what, I actually, actually I
just thought of one.
Speaker 8 (11:21):
When it lists and says five fifteen for tip off
or kickoff, good wine needs to be actually kicking off
at five point fifteen. I don't want to sit through
the the flyover with the B two bombers. I don't
want to sit through all the teams coming out onto
the onto the quarter or something. No, no, you told
I don't want to see you know, ESPN or TNT
(11:43):
soldier in the pregame show. You told me five fifteen.
I'm sitting down at five point fifteen to see the game.
Speaker 6 (11:49):
You know what, that's a great point because it comes
to mind, particularly on the West Coast guys, college football
night game kickoff times. Starting a college football game at
eight pm or even seven thirty pm local time without
with all the TV timeouts is complete insanity. But a
lot of times you have the kickoff time that you're
listed by default, it's always ten minutes later, and then
(12:11):
if the previously nationally televised game goes long, the kickoff
has delayed at least another five minutes.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
I went, there's twelve thirty kickoffs and have turned meat
leather at twelve thirty. Just like with the galloping Ghost
Red Grange.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
It's actually a pretty good Smithers there.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
Well done, Smithers.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
I'm gonna give you the beating of your life. I
lost a poker.
Speaker 6 (12:44):
Game to Jacob Rupert for the ownership of the Yankees
at nineteen nineteen.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Smithers.
Speaker 7 (12:50):
This is get some.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Abes and some mixed in your.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
And that is midway the Midway.

(14:23):
first round of the NFL Draft, right here on Fox
Sports Radio, brought to you by Dollar Shave Club Dollars
Shave Club. We talked about the NBA. What is it
the I guess it's the first day of the play
in and yeah, the Grizzlies game or the Warriors game
(14:44):
got closed towards the end, but the end of the day.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
It really was right in line.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
How about six to half point line and the game
was decided by six or five, right, five.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
I think was the final.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
So it is also interesting how Memphis a couple of
years ago felt like it was knocking on the door
of being one of those teams that could challenge the
powers that be, And now they're already home, already home.
Whereas you know, then you got the Warriors. And I
(15:25):
actually think this works out quite well for the Warriors.
You know that now they get the Rockets, they get
a couple of days off, but they had a game
in between kind of that, that overtime loss to the
Clippers last game of the season. So it gives them
good vibes going into Rockets, going to a Rockets team that,
though they have some pieces that have played in the
playoffs before, as a group, they've never done anything in
(15:47):
the playoffs. Raise your hand if you knew that Steve
vid Adams was on the Rockets this year?
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Any you guys? Anybody? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (15:59):
Nope?
Speaker 2 (16:00):

Here on Fox Sports Radio, Let's talk some college football
(16:29):
with r J.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Young.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
He hosts the Fox College the Number One College Football Show,
which is a Fox Sports podcast. He's also Fox College
Football Analyst. He joins us here on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 7 (16:44):
R J.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Let me get your sense of what the heck's going
on at Tennessee with your quarterback or now former quarterback.
Speaker 7 (16:50):
Former quarterback in jubilee, like this is a divorce that
its finalized. He is into the portal, and it seemed
like after he entered the portal, the market that he
expected to be there disintegrated beneath him overnight. And right
now it feels like the only program that is priming
towards is UCLA. But as with all things Eco e A.
(17:12):
Mali Yavin the last four days until we see such
time that everybody involved has announced that he is going
to transfer to wherever he's transferring, We're going to treat
it that he is one of the best talents in
the portal with the most.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Baggage, okay, but he has a do not do not
contact on his on his portal page, which usually means
something's already done. I think that the issue that Tennessee
has is like, hey, we had an agreement and then
(17:49):
you wanted to set out right. It wasn't a they
didn't have an agreement and he was working without a contract.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
It was they had an agreement.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
He thought there was more money to be had out there,
so that's why he set out.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Is that correct?
Speaker 7 (18:02):
That's correct, And there's even reporting to suggests that he
and others at Tennessee were threatening to sit out the
playoff team against Ohio State. Now, at the time, there
were big rumors about eighteen having a group of players
that might threat to sit out based on anil, but
it came to nothing as everybody played. And then as
(18:22):
Darren Mensa gets eight million dollars for two years, transfer
from two lane to duke to the market, reseets, John
Mattier gets in the range of three million dollars to
go to Oklahoma, Carson back in the range three million
dollars to go to Miami, and I think Nico's camp
was thinking that he's being underpaid given what the market
has already done at the time he signed a contract
for years eight million dollars is going to pay him
(18:43):
two to two point four million dollars this year. And
that's gets the total misreading of his value to Tennessee,
thinking that they need him more than he needs them,
and to time it right now at a point where
you can't afford the loser started quarterbacks credit, So that's it.
He wanted more money and he's already getting two million
(19:05):
dollars and he already made two million dollars for last year.
It felt really greedy and terrible on everybody's skin because
there's one thing we know about the SEC. They will
spend much, but they are not going to allow you
to be obnoxious about that. And that's what this felt like.
Once you've missed practice, you're being obnoxious and there's no
there's no turning back. Everybody wants to divorce, bide it.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
What does the what does the landscape of NIL look like?
In the SEC, in the Big twelve, in the Big ten,
in the year to come.
Speaker 7 (19:36):
I don't think much is going to change until we
get House versus the NTUAA settled in a way that
Judge feels okay. So right now, the numbers only going up. Right,
people are getting as much as they can right now. Now,
I also believe that we're going to try to get
closer and closer to something like a above board NFL
style model while really pay a slot value. Right, So,
(20:00):
for instance, news a franchise quarterback tag in the NFL
this year at twenty and a half million dollars, you're
thinking your quarterbacks worth about three million dollars. And that
might be what you're doing on an annual basis. But
I think the contract is not going to be multi yearing.
I think they're going to be one year. I think
that the price is going to continue to go up
and they're going to find ways to continue to crutch
pay these players that they really want to be there.
(20:21):
Now that said, everybody wants an argument, right, everybody wants
the guy who's number one in the class. He's outstanding talent,
and he has said nothing at all about money involved.
Everybody else does that for him, and not once is
he threatened elite texts, not once if he wanted to
be anywhere other than texts. So anything's probably going to
get these royalty agreements attached termination clauses attached, buyout clauses attached,
(20:44):
looking a lot more like coaches contracts than anything else.
As a matter of fact, Doug, you might have the
better insight about that than some of the people that
are recording of this, because you'd be looking at these things.
But that's how I think it's going to go. I
think we're going to try to get a little bit
more cut and in our INIL agreement and make them
anibal so that everybody gets an opportunity to leave if
(21:05):
they want to without us needing to go through this
really interesting for me, turnoil but awful. Turn what University
Tennessee and go ya Malayama.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Yeah, the question is going to be if you get
a multi year contract, can you get somebody to actually
pay a buyout? Will it actually be binding? You know
that that's the big question. And then the question is
can they do collective arkeeting without making them employees, which
is what I believe they they think they can do,
but they're trying to get to that place to where
(21:35):
there's some collective bargaining there. Again, that's just what I've heard.
It doesn't mean that it's fact, it's it is fascinating
to see how this thing both evolves and devolves at
the same time.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
R J. Young joining US a number one college football show.
He's the host.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Of course, he's a college Faball writer, collegeaball analyst as well. Okay,
so what about Colorado? I look, Travis Hunter, I think
of venge you retire as jersey Shudor Sanders E did
some really good things.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
He's gonna be a first round traffick.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
But Colorado immediately turning around and retiring their jerseys seems
like a bit much.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Again, just a bit much. But what's your reaction?
Speaker 7 (22:19):
I can see it either way if you're always going
to do it. Y weight is one of those things
to say, especially as they're coaching the NFL Draft and
they're both invited to be NFL Draft and we expect
the most popork round picks, and Travis Hunter, I think
you got a no doubt we're going to retire his
jerseys just about win, right, given what he needs, not
just to call a lot of books, to the support
itself to do her a little less so. But that's
(22:40):
the program's eagle season, passing the Eaters in touchdowns and yards.
What's the program for four and eight that he was
a part to ninety four. We get that, but I
think this comes back to the spring game itself. So
I got some one on one time with Crime and
we talked about a bunch, But one of the things
we talked about was how the NAAS oversight committee that
(23:01):
scuttled this attempt by he and fran Brown hears used
to have a intramural or intemeral interest squad practiced three
days that woul culminate a spring game that's Saturday, and
the reasons that they gave gave you were scuttling it
deal week and he had told me, hey, look, you
got two un unapologetic black men who want to do this.
Maybe we should have let other people do this first,
(23:22):
but we still want to do this, and we want
to try to do this. On the back end of that,
he says, now I got to figure out how am
I going to get people to come to folk from
Field to watch us play. I need to find something,
one way or another to get to the people that
love Colorado football and give them an opportunity to say
this is why I'm coming to suit. Perhaps retiring the
jersey is always the plan, but it feels like they're
(23:43):
also trying to continue to drive anchors to your spring game, which, frankly,
Doug I fought him for it. I like spring games.
I get why people don't and I see the reason
why we don't play them. But if you're going to
do it, I would appreciate you doing it for something
other than me watching a glorified black football game. I
would love to sleaf somebody get honored for something worthwhile,
and perhaps this might be the last time that many
(24:04):
people get to see or interact with Shador and Travis
for the prestiable feature. And I don't think that that
is more from me.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
It's a pretty pretty good points stuck out lib show
here on Fox Supports Radio. Okay, you and I went
back and forth over Oklahoma football. I said they were
the most interesting team, UH in the college football season,
just because I didn't think they were in anywhere equipped
for the gauntlet that is the SEC. And you said, listen,
they know what they're doing. They put a bunch of
(24:31):
money in the program, and I would say mixed results,
but mostly negative results. This is a historically great program
that was dominant within the Big twelve. What's the current
kind of status of OU football coming off of their
first year in the SEC.
Speaker 7 (24:52):
The hire of Jim nag was received in a way
that I thought was wild. Okay, So I believe that
Jim Naggaby, the general manager oball, was one of the
treatis that he's seen this offseason off the field, right
This is a man who has been in everybody's NFL
locker room and most people's FPS Power four locker room.
So he has had his eyes on more players that
are good today right now for the draft and for
(25:14):
college football than anybody else in America. Argue, but his
queue rating is through the root. Zillolum's QUE rating is
made to trending downward, which I again I find ridiculous.
But also he's going to take over call him the defense,
which is something we've always wanted him to do. We
know that he's one of the best to ever do that.
He's got a new young coordinator and a promising quarterback.
(25:35):
So it's cautiously optimistic. It's nothing like what I felt
last year, which is frankly not for nothing. He being
in Oklahoma, having this history that we had in the
Big twelve, I'm expecting us to beat what Texas was
last year, not the other way around, and my goodness,
could it not have been more twisted and predictable? Interesting,
I think is the way that you put it. But
I would figure how did you beat in Alabama team
(25:57):
that it was lust great, number one in the country
and beat Georgia with the same tool that you had
less the offensive coordinators And that is not something you
can do weekend and week out. Meanwhile, South Carolina had
a great season, A and m damn here had a
fantastic season. LSU pulled themselves out, Florida pulled themselves out.
And I'm looking at Oklahoma down here with Auburns and
Missippi State and I'm asking real questions out so cautious,
(26:19):
but it's sprints, right. I give everybody the opportunity to
be authentically happy about the prospect of them being good
come August. But when August comes around and Oklahoma's got
the host Michigan, we're gonna say, we're gonna figure out
a lot about o'cloba football in the big FEN love
the SPC. So I think your read on it ultimately correct. Right,
It's one of those takes that in the moment hitting
(26:39):
me wrong. Given time, after one hundred percent of.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
It's going to be interesting.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
It's gonna be said, it's so competitive, there's so much
money and all of the luster that you and I
know over Oklahoma. Just again, every year you get away
from it, it doesn't resonate as much as the players
now that that may not matter as much with the
players because at the end of the day, I think
the bottom line matters most. But it's gonna be interesting,
(27:05):
interesting to see what season two is because you have
to make an adjustment. Everything is different when you change leagues,
especially step up in weight class like the sec R
J great stuff has always ben Thanks for bringing our guests.
Speaker 2 (27:17):

Speaker 1 (27:51):
It's like we had like two days before the playoffs
started where you could like catch up on watching some shows,
you know, and I'm like, ah, now there's important basketball
on shows. Shows will have to wait. Shows will have
to wait, which is okay, because we got good stuff.
Right tonight is Miami Chicago. It bowls at home against
(28:18):
the Heat and Heat culture. Right then you got Sacramento
in Dallas, Kings are a five point favorite over the
injury depleted Dallas Mavericks. Let's get a recap of everything
going on in sports. Let's get to the press with
Isaac Longkron.
Speaker 6 (28:37):
The press, all right, Doug. A short time ago, Colin
Cowhard tweeted the following quote, I am told Nico Elma
Lava is going to UCLA. Family still claims it's not
(28:58):
about the money, it's about the Vall's offense. I was
not told what the Bruins are paying.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Unquote. I just again, I understand. Uh.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Sean Foster is a good friend of mine. He's a
We went to the same high school. He was a freshman,
I was a senior. Got called up in the varsity
of basketball, good dude, And when you're when you're UCLA,
you're like, look, dude, we need to find ways to
get as many guys we can't, especially to bring a
guy home.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Again.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
None of that is the problem. But the offense was
the problem before. Then why'd you agree to come back? Right,
my dear Colin, I love you. Don't spread bull crap.
That's bull crap. That that's really what it is. And
the issue has been and will continue to be. And
(29:54):
you can look up what the name is, maybe Profeti
if you can look it up. There was a kid
who signed it. I don't remembers cal or Notre Dame.
And this is going back like five or six years ago. Again,
got out of his letter of intent, which you weren't
supposed to do, ended up playing at UCLA different several
two coaches ago.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
Whatever.
Speaker 6 (30:11):
By the way, I agree with you wholeheartedly about Deshaun
Foster at Tustin High School for the Tillers. He was
on freaking believable over.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
Three thousand yards rushing right in the wing tea. He
was amazing and he's an awesome dude. Not about him,
but this is just simply about you agree to a
deal what is the purpose of having contract Because on
the other side, if Tennessee said we're not going to
pay you.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
Tennessee says right, any good Tennessee say.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
We're not going to pay.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
You, the whole world would be up in arms. You say, hey,
I got a contractor you can't be like, yeah, but
you stink we're not gonna pay it.
Speaker 6 (30:50):
I was just trying to get you to make that
noise again so we could get it from a promo
one day that there he goes well, speaking of making deals,
Rich Paul All was on the Pat McAfee show and
said that Miami's big three back in the day of
Lebron James, Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh wasn't really a
(31:11):
big three.
Speaker 9 (31:12):
After all, that's not the end all be all. I
always love a big two. I don't really love a
big three, don't I don't really People talk big three,
but you know, the big three thing has never really worked.
And you say, well, what happened in Miami That wasn't really.
Speaker 7 (31:28):
A big three.
Speaker 9 (31:29):
There was three guys that were with in the lottery
and they did really well individually on their team, so
they put up big numbers and had big accomplishments. But
when you think about it, Gosh was was an ultimate professional.
He took a back seat and he played a role
in which because he had such a high IQ and
he was such a professional as an individual, his approach
(31:52):
to everything is what made that work.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
So Rich Paul just said what we all thought out loud,
which is Lebron James duayde wade to not think Chris
Bosh was on their level. That's how they treated him.
He cut all the heat when they lost. This is
how this is how Lebron James thinks, feels, how he
really reacts.
Speaker 6 (32:18):
No word yet, Yeah, no word yet on what Chris
Bosh or his alter ego EMO Chris Bosh has to
think about that onto the NFL. The New York Giants
have the number three overall pick in the draft, and
our general manager Joe Shane said, well, and we're not
necessarily going to draft a quarterback.
Speaker 10 (32:38):
With the signing of those two players, I think we
put our position ourselves in a position where, you know,
I don't think that's mandatory or something that we're our
feet of the fire and we have to do. You know,
I think the two guys we signed have played a
lot of ball. They've got a lot of skins on
the wall. And I do think we've upgraded that room,
you know, compared to where it was a year ago.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
I like the two guys that we have.
Speaker 10 (32:57):
And you know, Tommy's still in there, and he's won
games for us too, And we're happy with the makeup
of the room right now.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
We're happy with the makeup of the room.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
Yeah, that's that's always an interesting statement in how how
they say things, right, we're happy with the makeup.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
Of the room. Yeah, it means we're not adding anybody else.
Speaker 6 (33:16):
And actually this item just came down moments ago. Doug
NBC out of Washington, DC is reporting that the District
of Columbia and the Washington Commanders are close to a
new three billion dollar deal to build a new stadium
for the Commanders at the site where RFK Stadium presently.
(33:40):
Since Commanders would put up as much as two point
five billion, the district would put up up to eight
hundred and fifty million.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
Good. That's awesome.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
Great location, I mean perfectly located, because what you have
with the with the y monument on how it's designed
just like Paris, that's awesome.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
It's a great thing for the city.
Speaker 6 (34:05):
Boy, It really isn't Isn't it amazing how so much
has transformed so quickly since the Odor of Daniel Snyder
departed for his yachts somewhere.
Speaker 3 (34:19):
In the Mediterranean. I'm just saying, Okay.
Speaker 6 (34:22):
Today in basketball, Duke freshman Khankin Nipple Doug announced that
he is indeed entering the NBA draft.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
So CON's mom is a legend here at green Bay.
She played at green Bay. Oh, okay, uncle is Jeff Norgard, who,
of course his numbers on the wall at green Bay.
So Con and then Kan has younger brothers that I'm
not allowed to comment on, but I mean, they're they're
not going to come to green Bay.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
They're so good.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
They're just just they're all gonna go to Duke. There's
five of them and everyone's better than the next man.
Speaker 2 (34:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Was his dad's the all time lean score at Wisconsin Lutheran,
which is D two. And yeah, it's just an unbelievable
family too.
Speaker 3 (35:09):
All right.
Speaker 6 (35:09):
Our final item on this edition of the Press. British
tennis player Harriet Dart has apologized after she was caught
on a hot microphone asking the chair umpire to tell
her opponent in a tournament in France to where deodorant
(35:32):
because she quote smells really bad unquote. Here is some
of that audio that was caught on the hot mic
during the match, in which she asked the chair umpire
if he can order her opponent to put on deodan
because she smells really bad?
Speaker 3 (35:47):
Can you tell her why? Tridrid?
Speaker 6 (35:53):
And again, this is a tennis match where the players
are typically kind of far apart on the col.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
And the wind gets pushes it. You're like, what is
that smell?
Speaker 3 (36:05):
You sound like you're speaking from personal experience.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
Absolutely. When I was in Russia playing there was only
one guy who was stinky.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
But he would get in the shower and he would
eat shower. It would make it worse, not better. And
then he'd smoke a cigarette in the shower. You're like, dude,
that's the worst smelling human being of all time.
Speaker 3 (36:22):
Okay, I have a couple of follow up questions.
Speaker 6 (36:25):
How does one successfully smoke a cigarette in the shower
without it being extinguished by the water.
Speaker 2 (36:32):
That's a good question. He was a pro.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
He hate smoke a heater in the shower. Smoking a
cigarette with bo he's gross. And Harry if he touched
you during practice, your jersey would smell for like two weeks.
It was the worst, but it was it was artful
how he could smoke a heater in the shower and.
Speaker 6 (36:52):
On that oh differous note, if that's even a word,
that concludes another award eligible edition of the Press.
Speaker 3 (37:02):
Get out there in press.
Speaker 1 (37:03):
That was the Press, It's the Gottleab Show, It's Fox
Sports Radio. And uh yeah, so tonight you got Bulls
at a home they've played better of late. I'm gonna
take the Bulls as a Bulls is a two point favorite,
and then.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
I don't kind of like the Mavericks there. I don't
know take the matter.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
Sacramento has been a sinking ship since they they traded
dearon Fox of course after they fired Mike Brown. Yeah,
I'm gonna go. I know Sacramento one. I think it
was like four out of six to get to the playoffs,
including beating Cleveland on the road. But I'm gonna take
the MAVs tonight to pull off the upset matter five
(37:45):
point favorites and courses the MAVs team they got beat
by like thirty five on the last game of the
regular season, so this is purely a luck bat Brains
would be picked the two favorites, just like last night,
two favorites will win, two favorites will cover.

The way tire buying should be. Hey, what up?
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Welcome in Hope, you're doing great. It is the middle
of the day. It is the middle of the week.
It is the middle essentially of our show, right, and
so we like to do this every.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Wednesday, hump Day. What what we call it the midway?
It's not getting the middle, It's time for duck in
the middle.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
The midway.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Okay, so the midword.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Sometimes it starts pertaining a sports. Sometimes it does not
totally understand. Ryan Berschinger, would you like to give out
what today's topics?
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Please?
Speaker 4 (01:17):
Yes, yes, So now we are in the start of
the NBA Playoffs. I mean, technically you own the play
in tournament here with the playoffs kicking off. And I
have always felt this way about the NBA playoffs. It's
too damn long. Today is April sixteenth. Two months from today,
it's possible we will still not have an NBA champion crowned.
(01:41):
A Game seven of the NBA Finals this year would
be on June twenty second, So it's entirely possible. Yeah,
that the NBA Playoffs can last for over two months,
one sixth of a calendar year. That is so long,
and the playoffs have only gotten larger, right with the
expansion of the play in tournament. I've always felt that
(02:02):
the first round should be five games at most, But
of course, once you open the door to playoff expansion,
more games and media rightes deals and TV deals and
ad revenue and all that, you can never roll it back.
So unfortunately, this is just how the playoffs are always
going to be. But I've always been the old man
(02:22):
shaking his fist of the cloud saying the NBA playoffs
are too damn long, And so this got me thinking.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
What's.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
Ring is too damn high. I just don't like now.
Of course, it doesn't personally impact me. I don't really
have any sort of emotional investment in any sort of
NBA team. I just don't like how long the playoffs are.
So today, for the midway, we're talking about old man
yelling at the cloud, old man yelling you to yelling
at you to get off your lawn, get off of
my lawn. Well, these are old man takes that you have.
(02:57):
It can be about sports or anything beyond. So yeah,
for me, one of them is definitely the NBA playoffs
are too damn long, and I'm never gonna feel differently
about it.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
All Right, I got one. Can I do it? My
old man boys?
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Please?
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Can we not have road teams where white uniforms? For
God's sake.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
I turn on the TV once I know how these
remote control thing with jiggy works, and I see a
team wearing white, I assume the game is in there arena,
only to find out that's no longer the case.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
That's a good one.
Speaker 6 (03:34):
That sounds that sounds strikingly similar to your lou Holt's voice.
By the way, that's not.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
That's right better the other one?
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Yeah, we actually no Dame. Okay, we did no Dame.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
We bore If football is dipp it football, you went
a dark judge get home.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
You had a light judgey at the road. We never
wear a white home jersey no day. Why no, Dame Sandy?
Do you hear? Wake up the echoes? You don't even
think that? Well?
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Wow?
Speaker 5 (04:01):
And I when I would go watch Coach Holts this
team play, like, can you I remember what you were
in the stands?
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Yeah? Those are not the same voices.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Hello anyway, Yeah, it's just a bone I had to pick, Like,
I don't when do we get to this place to
where we're like, yeah, sure you wear wait in the road,
why not?
Speaker 4 (04:23):
All right?
Speaker 3 (04:24):
I got one the midward. First of all, this super
is too warm.
Speaker 7 (04:29):
All right.
Speaker 6 (04:29):
So my gripe is with the NFL continually trying to
get bigger in all departments in terms of number of
games during the regular season, expansion and world domination. I
have for years said the most it should ever be
(04:50):
is eighteen regular season games with two bye weeks and
two preseason games.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
But I wonder if.
Speaker 6 (04:55):
We're going to be sitting here in thirty years talking
about a twenty game NFL regular season, which I think
would be way to the point of diminishing returns. I
also feel that the NFL and NBA should give up
this idea of having teams part of the league in
Europe or elsewhere, because logistically, from a free agency standpoint,
(05:18):
it's just never going to work. I mean, I guess
I can understand the NFL having games in Europe, and
this year they're gonna have another one in Brazil, and
for all I know, they're gonna have a game on
an iceberg in Antarctica in twenty years. But they should
kind of taper down on world domination. They don't need
to dominate the rest of the world internationally more than
(05:39):
they're doing now, and they do not need to expand
the regular season game, certainly beyond eighteen. I will get
off my soapbox.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
They're not going to be on a team, but they'll
go to eighteen.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
They will, just as long as they don't go past that.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Sure, sure, okay, Chris, what do you got?
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Sorry?
Speaker 8 (06:01):
I was digging around my bowl of Werther's originals here
as we set up for this to give to your grandchildren. Yes, exactly,
you know, delicious treats. What can you say? I feel
like it's finally hit me. There's no other way around it.
I thought maybe we'd get a bit of sanity. I
know it was a long shot. Rule proposed that defensive
(06:22):
holding stops being an automatic first down. Maybe those new slide,
but like, defense is too penalized in the National Football League,
in all of football, really, at this point, I didn't
even feel this way back when we had like, you know,
Rams Chiefs with an eighty burger game in Mexico City
way back.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
But now I've hit that point.
Speaker 8 (06:44):
I get tired when I'm seeing all the flags thrown
for a defensive player just barely touching someone. I get
tired of seeing a spot foul for DPI. I'm tired
of looking at a great, fantastic play but oh wait,
hold on, here comes the flag. Everything is tilted too
much to the offense. You can have cool plays from
the defensive players too. I'm tired of doing this. The
(07:05):
scoring is too damn high. These guys are running too
damn far. Everyone's too afraid to touch guys out there.
Bring defense back, Bring hard nose football back. I feel
like it's like a bell curve of me where it's
like I like defense to like the middle part where
you got the nerdy guy going, no, this is perfectly fine.
You have this, you know, beautiful game where everyone gets
(07:26):
to pass and epa per play. And now I'm back
to serene monklike defense wins championships and I want defense
back in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Okay, I would say I have more again, this is
more old bake it off my lawn stuff. The the
new numbers in basketball and football.
Speaker 8 (07:54):
Oh, I'm with you a good one, yes, yes, I
fully agree.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
So just for people to understand that used to be
a rule in basketball, Yeah, all numbers had to be
five or less. And you know, because for the official
to go over to the table, they had to be
able to present your foul based upon your number with
one hand, got two to two with a wipe with
a hole. Right now you can't do it. Now they've
(08:19):
allowed every every single number. So like he got guys
wearing like ninety seven, Like what is that? And of
course then of course football was like.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
We want numbers. We had our numbers.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Now that we don't want positional numbers, and now their
numbers are ridiculous too.
Speaker 8 (08:34):
Yeah, there's linebackers out there with number fourteen. It's like
I don't. I don't get that at all.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
I got fourteen's the mic, fourteen's the mic.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
I got so used to being able to identify position
groups by their numbers, and now it's just a mess.
And it is weird, like that's something that I grew
up with, and now seeing a receiver be like twenty
five or something like that, just it makes no sense.
Speaker 8 (08:59):
By the way, and I know it's been around for
a while too, but like zero as a jersey number,
that just screams like, yeah, this guy's just trying to
be cool by claiming zero. Zero shouldn't be a jersey
number in any sport. I'm sorry that that should be.
That should be for the mascot.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
The mascot should have zero.
Speaker 8 (09:17):
Yeah, the mascot should have zero or something, but like
actual players shouldn't have zero.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
I don't hate that as a rule. I don't hate
that as a rule.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Yeah, I got I got lots of them. Okay, here's
an old man kind of get off my line. Thing is,
obviously everybody hates so when we go to the when
we go to the monitor for review. But even worse
is when a lot of times in football stadiums they
won't show the review in case they, in case they,
(09:49):
you know, make it against the home team. She's just
sitting out there waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, like, let's go
at least show me the replay, Show me the replay.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
I got others.
Speaker 8 (10:02):
Yeah, you know.
Speaker 6 (10:04):
It kind of brings to mind your comment about numbers,
only in a totally different way. I think that the
NBA product has had a disservice done to it by analytics.
I think that analytics have transformed the NBA as an
entertainment product in a negative way. From an x's and
(10:27):
o's inside coaching and playing winning and losing standpoint, I
don't have a problem with it, but I think it's
negatively affected the entertainment product of NBA games. I think
for the NFL it's either not affected it or improved it.
And I think in Major League Baseball, I think it's
(10:49):
also affected Major League Baseball negatively, though less negatively as
the NBA. And I don't really need to know all
this launch angle exit velocity stuff on telecast. And I
really sound like an old man in a straw hat
chewing peanuts on that one.
Speaker 5 (11:10):
Heck it up by lot, You know, I really hate
I hate beers that are fifteen dollars for a beer.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
I hate that, you know what, I actually, actually I
just thought of one.
Speaker 8 (11:21):
When it lists and says five fifteen for tip off
or kickoff, good wine needs to be actually kicking off
at five point fifteen. I don't want to sit through
the the flyover with the B two bombers. I don't
want to sit through all the teams coming out onto
the onto the quarter or something. No, no, you told
I don't want to see you know, ESPN or TNT
(11:43):
soldier in the pregame show. You told me five fifteen.
I'm sitting down at five point fifteen to see the game.
Speaker 6 (11:49):
You know what, that's a great point because it comes
to mind, particularly on the West Coast guys, college football
night game kickoff times. Starting a college football game at
eight pm or even seven thirty pm local time without
with all the TV timeouts is complete insanity. But a
lot of times you have the kickoff time that you're
listed by default, it's always ten minutes later, and then
(12:11):
if the previously nationally televised game goes long, the kickoff
has delayed at least another five minutes.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
I went, there's twelve thirty kickoffs and have turned meat
leather at twelve thirty. Just like with the galloping Ghost
Red Grange.

first round pick. That's next Thursday, eight Eastern throughout the
(14:23):
first round of the NFL Draft, right here on Fox
Sports Radio, brought to you by Dollar Shave Club Dollars
Shave Club. We talked about the NBA. What is it
the I guess it's the first day of the play
in and yeah, the Grizzlies game or the Warriors game
(14:44):
got closed towards the end, but the end of the day.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
It really was right in line.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
How about six to half point line and the game
was decided by six or five, right, five.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
I think was the final.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
So it is also interesting how Memphis a couple of
years ago felt like it was knocking on the door
of being one of those teams that could challenge the
powers that be, And now they're already home, already home.
Whereas you know, then you got the Warriors. And I
(15:25):
actually think this works out quite well for the Warriors.
You know that now they get the Rockets, they get
a couple of days off, but they had a game
in between kind of that, that overtime loss to the
Clippers last game of the season. So it gives them
good vibes going into Rockets, going to a Rockets team that,
though they have some pieces that have played in the
playoffs before, as a group, they've never done anything in
(15:47):
the playoffs. Raise your hand if you knew that Steve
vid Adams was on the Rockets this year?
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Any you guys? Anybody? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (15:59):
Nope?
Speaker 2 (16:00):

Here on Fox Sports Radio, Let's talk some college football
(16:29):
with r J.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Young.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
He hosts the Fox College the Number One College Football Show,
which is a Fox Sports podcast. He's also Fox College
Football Analyst. He joins us here on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 7 (16:44):
R J.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Let me get your sense of what the heck's going
on at Tennessee with your quarterback or now former quarterback.
Speaker 7 (16:50):
Former quarterback in jubilee, like this is a divorce that
its finalized. He is into the portal, and it seemed
like after he entered the portal, the market that he
expected to be there disintegrated beneath him overnight. And right
now it feels like the only program that is priming
towards is UCLA. But as with all things Eco e A.
(17:12):
Mali Yavin the last four days until we see such
time that everybody involved has announced that he is going
to transfer to wherever he's transferring, We're going to treat
it that he is one of the best talents in
the portal with the most.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Baggage, okay, but he has a do not do not
contact on his on his portal page, which usually means
something's already done. I think that the issue that Tennessee
has is like, hey, we had an agreement and then
(17:49):
you wanted to set out right. It wasn't a they
didn't have an agreement and he was working without a contract.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
It was they had an agreement.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
He thought there was more money to be had out there,
so that's why he set out.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Is that correct?
Speaker 7 (18:02):
That's correct, And there's even reporting to suggests that he
and others at Tennessee were threatening to sit out the
playoff team against Ohio State. Now, at the time, there
were big rumors about eighteen having a group of players
that might threat to sit out based on anil, but
it came to nothing as everybody played. And then as
(18:22):
Darren Mensa gets eight million dollars for two years, transfer
from two lane to duke to the market, reseets, John
Mattier gets in the range of three million dollars to
go to Oklahoma, Carson back in the range three million
dollars to go to Miami, and I think Nico's camp
was thinking that he's being underpaid given what the market
has already done at the time he signed a contract
for years eight million dollars is going to pay him
(18:43):
two to two point four million dollars this year. And
that's gets the total misreading of his value to Tennessee,
thinking that they need him more than he needs them,
and to time it right now at a point where
you can't afford the loser started quarterbacks credit, So that's it.
He wanted more money and he's already getting two million
(19:05):
dollars and he already made two million dollars for last year.
It felt really greedy and terrible on everybody's skin because
there's one thing we know about the SEC. They will
spend much, but they are not going to allow you
to be obnoxious about that. And that's what this felt like.
Once you've missed practice, you're being obnoxious and there's no
there's no turning back. Everybody wants to divorce, bide it.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
What does the what does the landscape of NIL look like?
In the SEC, in the Big twelve, in the Big ten,
in the year to come.
Speaker 7 (19:36):
I don't think much is going to change until we
get House versus the NTUAA settled in a way that
Judge feels okay. So right now, the numbers only going up. Right,
people are getting as much as they can right now. Now,
I also believe that we're going to try to get
closer and closer to something like a above board NFL
style model while really pay a slot value. Right, So,
(20:00):
for instance, news a franchise quarterback tag in the NFL
this year at twenty and a half million dollars, you're
thinking your quarterbacks worth about three million dollars. And that
might be what you're doing on an annual basis. But
I think the contract is not going to be multi yearing.
I think they're going to be one year. I think
that the price is going to continue to go up
and they're going to find ways to continue to crutch
pay these players that they really want to be there.
(20:21):
Now that said, everybody wants an argument, right, everybody wants
the guy who's number one in the class. He's outstanding talent,
and he has said nothing at all about money involved.
Everybody else does that for him, and not once is
he threatened elite texts, not once if he wanted to
be anywhere other than texts. So anything's probably going to
get these royalty agreements attached termination clauses attached, buyout clauses attached,
(20:44):
looking a lot more like coaches contracts than anything else.
As a matter of fact, Doug, you might have the
better insight about that than some of the people that
are recording of this, because you'd be looking at these things.
But that's how I think it's going to go. I
think we're going to try to get a little bit
more cut and in our INIL agreement and make them
anibal so that everybody gets an opportunity to leave if
(21:05):
they want to without us needing to go through this
really interesting for me, turnoil but awful. Turn what University
Tennessee and go ya Malayama.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Yeah, the question is going to be if you get
a multi year contract, can you get somebody to actually
pay a buyout? Will it actually be binding? You know
that that's the big question. And then the question is
can they do collective arkeeting without making them employees, which
is what I believe they they think they can do,
but they're trying to get to that place to where
(21:35):
there's some collective bargaining there. Again, that's just what I've heard.
It doesn't mean that it's fact, it's it is fascinating
to see how this thing both evolves and devolves at
the same time.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
R J. Young joining US a number one college football show.
He's the host.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Of course, he's a college Faball writer, collegeaball analyst as well. Okay,
so what about Colorado? I look, Travis Hunter, I think
of venge you retire as jersey Shudor Sanders E did
some really good things.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
He's gonna be a first round traffick.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
But Colorado immediately turning around and retiring their jerseys seems
like a bit much.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Again, just a bit much. But what's your reaction?
Speaker 7 (22:19):
I can see it either way if you're always going
to do it. Y weight is one of those things
to say, especially as they're coaching the NFL Draft and
they're both invited to be NFL Draft and we expect
the most popork round picks, and Travis Hunter, I think
you got a no doubt we're going to retire his
jerseys just about win, right, given what he needs, not
just to call a lot of books, to the support
itself to do her a little less so. But that's
(22:40):
the program's eagle season, passing the Eaters in touchdowns and yards.
What's the program for four and eight that he was
a part to ninety four. We get that, but I
think this comes back to the spring game itself. So
I got some one on one time with Crime and
we talked about a bunch, But one of the things
we talked about was how the NAAS oversight committee that
(23:01):
scuttled this attempt by he and fran Brown hears used
to have a intramural or intemeral interest squad practiced three
days that woul culminate a spring game that's Saturday, and
the reasons that they gave gave you were scuttling it
deal week and he had told me, hey, look, you
got two un unapologetic black men who want to do this.
Maybe we should have let other people do this first,
(23:22):
but we still want to do this, and we want
to try to do this. On the back end of that,
he says, now I got to figure out how am
I going to get people to come to folk from
Field to watch us play. I need to find something,
one way or another to get to the people that
love Colorado football and give them an opportunity to say
this is why I'm coming to suit. Perhaps retiring the
jersey is always the plan, but it feels like they're
(23:43):
also trying to continue to drive anchors to your spring game, which, frankly,
Doug I fought him for it. I like spring games.
I get why people don't and I see the reason
why we don't play them. But if you're going to
do it, I would appreciate you doing it for something
other than me watching a glorified black football game. I
would love to sleaf somebody get honored for something worthwhile,
and perhaps this might be the last time that many
(24:04):
people get to see or interact with Shador and Travis
for the prestiable feature. And I don't think that that
is more from me.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
It's a pretty pretty good points stuck out lib show
here on Fox Supports Radio. Okay, you and I went
back and forth over Oklahoma football. I said they were
the most interesting team, UH in the college football season,
just because I didn't think they were in anywhere equipped
for the gauntlet that is the SEC. And you said, listen,
they know what they're doing. They put a bunch of
(24:31):
money in the program, and I would say mixed results,
but mostly negative results. This is a historically great program
that was dominant within the Big twelve. What's the current
kind of status of OU football coming off of their
first year in the SEC.
Speaker 7 (24:52):
The hire of Jim nag was received in a way
that I thought was wild. Okay, So I believe that
Jim Naggaby, the general manager oball, was one of the
treatis that he's seen this offseason off the field, right
This is a man who has been in everybody's NFL
locker room and most people's FPS Power four locker room.
So he has had his eyes on more players that
are good today right now for the draft and for
(25:14):
college football than anybody else in America. Argue, but his
queue rating is through the root. Zillolum's QUE rating is
made to trending downward, which I again I find ridiculous.
But also he's going to take over call him the defense,
which is something we've always wanted him to do. We
know that he's one of the best to ever do that.
He's got a new young coordinator and a promising quarterback.
(25:35):
So it's cautiously optimistic. It's nothing like what I felt
last year, which is frankly not for nothing. He being
in Oklahoma, having this history that we had in the
Big twelve, I'm expecting us to beat what Texas was
last year, not the other way around, and my goodness,
could it not have been more twisted and predictable? Interesting,
I think is the way that you put it. But
I would figure how did you beat in Alabama team
(25:57):
that it was lust great, number one in the country
and beat Georgia with the same tool that you had
less the offensive coordinators And that is not something you
can do weekend and week out. Meanwhile, South Carolina had
a great season, A and m damn here had a
fantastic season. LSU pulled themselves out, Florida pulled themselves out.
And I'm looking at Oklahoma down here with Auburns and
Missippi State and I'm asking real questions out so cautious,
(26:19):
but it's sprints, right. I give everybody the opportunity to
be authentically happy about the prospect of them being good
come August. But when August comes around and Oklahoma's got
the host Michigan, we're gonna say, we're gonna figure out
a lot about o'cloba football in the big FEN love
the SPC. So I think your read on it ultimately correct. Right,
It's one of those takes that in the moment hitting
(26:39):
me wrong. Given time, after one hundred percent of.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
It's going to be interesting.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
It's gonna be said, it's so competitive, there's so much
money and all of the luster that you and I
know over Oklahoma. Just again, every year you get away
from it, it doesn't resonate as much as the players
now that that may not matter as much with the
players because at the end of the day, I think
the bottom line matters most. But it's gonna be interesting,
(27:05):
interesting to see what season two is because you have
to make an adjustment. Everything is different when you change leagues,
especially step up in weight class like the sec R
J great stuff has always ben Thanks for bringing our guests.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
I appreciate it.
Speaker 7 (27:18):
Thank you for having me on. Doug. Love you hav uch.

Speaker 1 (27:51):
It's like we had like two days before the playoffs
started where you could like catch up on watching some shows,
you know, and I'm like, ah, now there's important basketball
on shows. Shows will have to wait. Shows will have
to wait, which is okay, because we got good stuff.
Right tonight is Miami Chicago. It bowls at home against
(28:18):
the Heat and Heat culture. Right then you got Sacramento
in Dallas, Kings are a five point favorite over the
injury depleted Dallas Mavericks. Let's get a recap of everything
going on in sports. Let's get to the press with
Isaac Longkron.
Speaker 6 (28:37):
The press, all right, Doug. A short time ago, Colin
Cowhard tweeted the following quote, I am told Nico Elma
Lava is going to UCLA. Family still claims it's not
(28:58):
about the money, it's about the Vall's offense. I was
not told what the Bruins are paying.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Unquote. I just again, I understand. Uh.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Sean Foster is a good friend of mine. He's a
We went to the same high school. He was a freshman,
I was a senior. Got called up in the varsity
of basketball, good dude, And when you're when you're UCLA,
you're like, look, dude, we need to find ways to
get as many guys we can't, especially to bring a
guy home.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Again.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
None of that is the problem. But the offense was
the problem before. Then why'd you agree to come back? Right,
my dear Colin, I love you. Don't spread bull crap.
That's bull crap. That that's really what it is. And
the issue has been and will continue to be. And
(29:54):
you can look up what the name is, maybe Profeti
if you can look it up. There was a kid
who signed it. I don't remembers cal or Notre Dame.
And this is going back like five or six years ago. Again,
got out of his letter of intent, which you weren't
supposed to do, ended up playing at UCLA different several
two coaches ago.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
Whatever.
Speaker 6 (30:11):
By the way, I agree with you wholeheartedly about Deshaun
Foster at Tustin High School for the Tillers. He was
on freaking believable over.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
Three thousand yards rushing right in the wing tea. He
was amazing and he's an awesome dude. Not about him,
but this is just simply about you agree to a
deal what is the purpose of having contract Because on
the other side, if Tennessee said we're not going to
pay you.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
Tennessee says right, any good Tennessee say.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
We're not going to pay.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
You, the whole world would be up in arms. You say, hey,
I got a contractor you can't be like, yeah, but
you stink we're not gonna pay it.
Speaker 6 (30:50):
I was just trying to get you to make that
noise again so we could get it from a promo
one day that there he goes well, speaking of making deals,
Rich Paul All was on the Pat McAfee show and
said that Miami's big three back in the day of
Lebron James, Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh wasn't really a
(31:11):
big three.
Speaker 9 (31:12):
After all, that's not the end all be all. I
always love a big two. I don't really love a
big three, don't I don't really People talk big three,
but you know, the big three thing has never really worked.
And you say, well, what happened in Miami That wasn't really.
Speaker 7 (31:28):
A big three.
Speaker 9 (31:29):
There was three guys that were with in the lottery
and they did really well individually on their team, so
they put up big numbers and had big accomplishments. But
when you think about it, Gosh was was an ultimate professional.
He took a back seat and he played a role
in which because he had such a high IQ and
he was such a professional as an individual, his approach
(31:52):
to everything is what made that work.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
So Rich Paul just said what we all thought out loud,
which is Lebron James duayde wade to not think Chris
Bosh was on their level. That's how they treated him.
He cut all the heat when they lost. This is
how this is how Lebron James thinks, feels, how he
really reacts.
Speaker 6 (32:18):
No word yet, Yeah, no word yet on what Chris
Bosh or his alter ego EMO Chris Bosh has to
think about that onto the NFL. The New York Giants
have the number three overall pick in the draft, and
our general manager Joe Shane said, well, and we're not
necessarily going to draft a quarterback.
Speaker 10 (32:38):
With the signing of those two players, I think we
put our position ourselves in a position where, you know,
I don't think that's mandatory or something that we're our
feet of the fire and we have to do. You know,
I think the two guys we signed have played a
lot of ball. They've got a lot of skins on
the wall. And I do think we've upgraded that room,
you know, compared to where it was a year ago.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
I like the two guys that we have.
Speaker 10 (32:57):
And you know, Tommy's still in there, and he's won
games for us too, And we're happy with the makeup
of the room right now.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
We're happy with the makeup of the room.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
Yeah, that's that's always an interesting statement in how how
they say things, right, we're happy with the makeup.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
Of the room. Yeah, it means we're not adding anybody else.
Speaker 6 (33:16):
And actually this item just came down moments ago. Doug
NBC out of Washington, DC is reporting that the District
of Columbia and the Washington Commanders are close to a
new three billion dollar deal to build a new stadium
for the Commanders at the site where RFK Stadium presently.
(33:40):
Since Commanders would put up as much as two point
five billion, the district would put up up to eight
hundred and fifty million.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
Good. That's awesome.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
Great location, I mean perfectly located, because what you have
with the with the y monument on how it's designed
just like Paris, that's awesome.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
It's a great thing for the city.
Speaker 6 (34:05):
Boy, It really isn't Isn't it amazing how so much
has transformed so quickly since the Odor of Daniel Snyder
departed for his yachts somewhere.
Speaker 3 (34:19):
In the Mediterranean. I'm just saying, Okay.
Speaker 6 (34:22):
Today in basketball, Duke freshman Khankin Nipple Doug announced that
he is indeed entering the NBA draft.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
So CON's mom is a legend here at green Bay.
She played at green Bay. Oh, okay, uncle is Jeff Norgard, who,
of course his numbers on the wall at green Bay.
So Con and then Kan has younger brothers that I'm
not allowed to comment on, but I mean, they're they're
not going to come to green Bay.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
They're so good.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
They're just just they're all gonna go to Duke. There's
five of them and everyone's better than the next man.
Speaker 2 (34:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Was his dad's the all time lean score at Wisconsin Lutheran,
which is D two. And yeah, it's just an unbelievable
family too.
Speaker 3 (35:09):
All right.
Speaker 6 (35:09):
Our final item on this edition of the Press. British
tennis player Harriet Dart has apologized after she was caught
on a hot microphone asking the chair umpire to tell
her opponent in a tournament in France to where deodorant
(35:32):
because she quote smells really bad unquote. Here is some
of that audio that was caught on the hot mic
during the match, in which she asked the chair umpire
if he can order her opponent to put on deodan
because she smells really bad?
Speaker 3 (35:47):
Can you tell her why? Tridrid?
Speaker 6 (35:53):
And again, this is a tennis match where the players
are typically kind of far apart on the col.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
And the wind gets pushes it. You're like, what is
that smell?
Speaker 3 (36:05):
You sound like you're speaking from personal experience.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
Absolutely. When I was in Russia playing there was only
one guy who was stinky.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
But he would get in the shower and he would
eat shower. It would make it worse, not better. And
then he'd smoke a cigarette in the shower. You're like, dude,
that's the worst smelling human being of all time.
Speaker 3 (36:22):
Okay, I have a couple of follow up questions.
Speaker 6 (36:25):
How does one successfully smoke a cigarette in the shower
without it being extinguished by the water.
Speaker 2 (36:32):
That's a good question. He was a pro.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
He hate smoke a heater in the shower. Smoking a
cigarette with bo he's gross. And Harry if he touched
you during practice, your jersey would smell for like two weeks.
It was the worst, but it was it was artful
how he could smoke a heater in the shower and.
Speaker 6 (36:52):
On that oh differous note, if that's even a word,
that concludes another award eligible edition of the Press.
Speaker 3 (37:02):
Get out there in press.
Speaker 1 (37:03):
That was the Press, It's the Gottleab Show, It's Fox
Sports Radio. And uh yeah, so tonight you got Bulls
at a home they've played better of late. I'm gonna
take the Bulls as a Bulls is a two point favorite,
and then.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
I don't kind of like the Mavericks there. I don't
know take the matter.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
Sacramento has been a sinking ship since they they traded
dearon Fox of course after they fired Mike Brown. Yeah,
I'm gonna go. I know Sacramento one. I think it
was like four out of six to get to the playoffs,
including beating Cleveland on the road. But I'm gonna take
the MAVs tonight to pull off the upset matter five
(37:45):
point favorites and courses the MAVs team they got beat
by like thirty five on the last game of the
regular season, so this is purely a luck bat Brains
would be picked the two favorites, just like last night,
two favorites will win, two favorites will cover.
