So I want to get I want to give Dan
(00:44):
Byer plenty of time to clear his clear his proverbrial
throat on uh, because we had game time and I
rambled about uniforms and he was really well prepared for it.
So we'll do it within love and hate. But uh uh,
(01:05):
it's pretty interesting. You know Aaron Rodgers still waiting for
him to pick a team. And I also, if you
tuned in Friday to the Herd, I made a comment
about Bronnie and then the Lakers played, so yesterday though Saturday,
the day's run together when you're just watching sports and
(01:27):
then you're in the you're waiting for the portal to open,
which it opened earlier today, all day long. But I
just I think the whole Bronni coverage thing is kind
of comical. We'll get to that this hour. We got
the press up coming, we got some Mookie bet stuff
up coming, we got a lot up coming. But every
Monday we like to recap things we've all seen from
(01:48):
around the world of sports. We do so with a
little something we call love and Hate?
Speaker 2 (01:53):
What did you love?
Speaker 1 (01:55):
God? I love you?
Speaker 2 (01:56):
And what did you hate?
Speaker 1 (01:58):
These play hay is love love? Love and hate? Hate? Hate? Hmm?
What'd you love from the weekend? What'd you hate from
the weekend? Let's start with our good friend Dan Byer,
who has so much to love.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
I love it well.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
We were going to talk about this in game time,
but I'll bring it up as a love and those
on the East Coast may want to plug their ears.
I love the schedule of games during the NCAA tournament.
It has taken me a while, but to have Oregon
Arizona be there at night last night when I don't
want that weekend to end.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Oh, Pack ten after dark, This all was Pack ten
after dark. Everybody's like, hey, Pack ten after dark's dead. No,
it's not. And see tournament.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
I get it that those on the East Coast are like,
it's Monday morning and the tournament.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Is still going on.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
Yes it is, but I'm going to take the advantage
of the Pacific time zone and use it for my love.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
It was great to have it.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
I know people didn't love the standalone games and how
it was done, and back in the day everything had
to be done before sixty minutes started. Well that's no
longer the case. We're in a new time and it's
time to embrace it. I love that we had the
games spread out throughout the day, checking in here and there,
and then at night when I was winding down, there
was more basketball than ever. So I loved it.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Last night you loved Caleb Love.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Yeah, he was really good.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
Yes he was good matchup between those fighting Ducks and
Wildcats and that as he said, Packed twelve after Dark.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Conference of Champions. I saw that tweet earlier today that
I just love day Pash's old partner.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
Oh, I love that tweet.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
How good was that tweet?
Speaker 5 (03:50):
What's your name again?
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Yeah, if you missed it. Dave Pash who used to
be you know, his partner, What do you say earlier today?
I gotta I gotta find it. But so conference, I
can hear Bill saying Conference of Champions, what a game?
What a life? I'm sleeping in the desert? What's your
(04:13):
name again? He used to do that all the time
to pass It was so good, so good? That was
That was a fun one. Iowa, Sam, what's you left
on the weekend?
Speaker 6 (04:22):
I'm gonna pull my love of the weekend from something
that probably happened late last night in Iowa City, Iowa,
or Iowa Athletics stractor Beth Getz probably giving a Drake coach,
Ben McCollum a call late Sunday night, maybe very early
this morning.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
But that's my love of the weekend.
Speaker 6 (04:39):
Is Ben McCollum coming home to Iowa City to take
over the Iowa Hawkeye men's basketball team. This seems like
a perfect pairing Ben, of course, from this from Iowa City,
born there, did a lot of work, winning four national
titles at the D two level, and he's still fairly young.
He's like forty three turning forty four. Next month. So
I love that that he's the new coach. People are
(05:00):
really really excited about this. Yeah, it's Ben McCollum time,
and I was city that's my love.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Uh okay, what about you there, Chase dou.
Speaker 7 (05:11):
Do you have an opinion on that? Like a drive
by opinion? Do you like that Ben McCollum. I mean,
he won four national championships at the D two level.
He's from Iowa, and he just led Drake to thirty
one and three, and you know Bennett Search is going
to come with him.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
It's kind of a no brainer.
Speaker 5 (05:29):
I didn't know how long was this in the works.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
I don't know because did you hear his answer when
he was asked? Because he was asked the question and by.
Speaker 5 (05:39):
The way I had him on Friday, didn't you?
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Yeah? And I did I ask him about future jobs
or something.
Speaker 6 (05:47):
Yeah, he's not a job hopper. That's the thing is
that you're like a little pop.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Well, look he gave he gave a real honest answer
about it. He said, you know, I forget, But did
you hear his answer that he gave after the game?
Then you can Yeah, you can find that?
Speaker 5 (06:03):
Can you can you summarize it for us. Or did
he curse.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
No, he didn't curse at all. He was just like, oh, hey,
you know, I don't think I can answer that all
the shots. Yeah, he was like one of those like okay,
he goes.
Speaker 8 (06:20):
Did he answer the question that if if Drake did
not get destroyed by Kendrick Lamar wassher, if he would
still be a Drake.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Or No he didn't. No one asked that, no one
else around that name.
Speaker 6 (06:32):
You know would be fun is if we had a
Drake versus Lamar matchup. There's a Lamar University in Texas. Yes,
we have Drake versus Lamar.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
It's Texas.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
That'd be fun, little Drake versus Lamar.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
All right, I'll give I'll give my my love. Whyat
Hendrickson winning in the heavyweight division in uh in College
Wrestling a national championship. He upset Gable Stevenson, who's the
defending gold medalist.
Speaker 6 (07:02):
Right, and he also tried out for the Buffalo Bills.
He was in their camp for a few weeks.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Yeah, I mean he's done a little bit of everything.
He's a UFC guy. He won seventy matches, seventy matches
in a row. Like he was like unbeat and then
if you watch the match, it was cool because at
the start of the match, like Hendrickson walks around, he's
got the American flag rap runner and you're like, whoa
hold on, buddy, And he had been a world champion
before and he also is actually a second lieutenant in
(07:29):
the Air Force, and Stevenson kind of like big dogged him,
like tried to like kind of bump him get out
of his way. It was it was it. It felt
like if WWE was ever real, like real wrestling, that's
what it would look like. I mean, it was a
great match, and it seemed like he waited till Stevenson
(07:52):
was tired right at the very end of the match,
and he got the he got the takedown and won
the match. He just kind of held on. But it
was that was so and then you know the the
optics with the saluting the President United States, who happened
to stay for the match. It was really cool. So yeah, man,
that was that was dope. As my schools uh like
(08:13):
that like that as well, But that was a of
the moments this weekend. That was the best sports moment
for me. What about you there, Jace, do you gotta
find something nice to say about the weekend, because I
know you got plenty of that you hated.
Speaker 8 (08:24):
I'll tell you what I loved. I loved that Danny
Hurley is finally getting the deserved criticism. I saw some
pretty influential voices on TV and on Twitter be like,
are we really going to normalize this behavior? You know,
during the election cycle and since the election, we've heard
a lot from one side of the political spectrum of
(08:45):
we can't normalize wrong things, we can't continue to accept
these things. And I think with Danny Hurley, we I'll
reached that point where we're like, are we really going
to put up with this guy being a douche after
a loss? So that whole thing yesterday with the getting
caught on Mike telling the other team that the refs
(09:07):
might screw you, blah blah blah. I actually watched the
last five minutes of that game, like, it wasn't the
ref's fault that you and your team choked away that game,
Your team stopped making shots, their team started making shots,
And it just struck me as like, we're gonna allow
him to be completely unaccountable for his team's actions. Towards
(09:27):
the end of that game. So I love that he
got some criticism from people that actually matter overnight.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Uh, okay, let's get to what we hated. That's what
we loved, Dan, Do you have any more than you
loved I told you, I give you am time.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
No, it's totally okay, yep.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
All right, Let's get to what you hated from the weekend.
Let's start with you, Jay Stewson's you're the resident hater,
all right.
Speaker 8 (09:56):
So the uh, the NCAA tournament bractice are the most
unpredictable thing in the history of the world. I said
last week, it's unfair that people that do this for
a living, experts have to put their brackets online for
us to look at and scrutinize, and it inevitably takes
a little bit of a tear at their credibility when
(10:19):
they get their brackets wrong. So if I'm going to
give you that grace, I also want to do this.
How about this. If you admit on the air that
you are a college basketball casual, you can't brag about
having fifteen of the sixteen teams remaining. You can't brag
about that you have lucked yourself into it. And man,
(10:41):
I'm really fortunate that I just chose teams that want
It's not a hey, take a look at my bracket,
because you already said you're a casual. It was the
luck of the draw. So I hate people taking credit
for bracket victories after saying they're casuals.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Sam it for the wicket.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
I think a lot of people were I clear my
throat there.
Speaker 6 (11:05):
I think a lot of people were, uh had hitched
their wagons to the uh Saint John's Red storm making
a deep run. I think this team's maybe with Patino
a little bit ahead of schedule, but you know, like
many I had UH Saint John's going going pretty.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Far, and so you hated that they lost.
Speaker 5 (11:24):
I hated that they lost.
Speaker 6 (11:25):
I hated it because I think Patino in the NC
Tournament is always a good thing.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
It's you know, it's Calipari and the NC tourn It
is not a good thing.
Speaker 5 (11:32):
It is one had to illuminate the other.
Speaker 6 (11:33):
But I think I think Patino's kind of the the
mob boss of of that uh that family right there.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Like he's he does. He does have a Michael Corleoni
sort of look.
Speaker 6 (11:42):
I mean, like I think of cal Perry as being
sort of like a high ranking lieutenant. But like Patino's
up there, more national titles, you know, more fun you know, yes, yes,
Rhode Island. Yeah, it's kind of the backyard for the UH,
some of those guys. So you know their offense, Saint
John's offense. During the regular season, they eked out a
(12:04):
lot of grinder wins with defense and hustle and energy,
and they were just shoot, they just shot terribly in
that game against Kentucky or excuse me against UH against Arkansas,
I was thinking about cal Perry's old stomping grounds. So
that's what I hated that Patino's not in the tournament anymore.
And it was a great year for them, I mean
the conference champion, tournament champions, and regular season champions, and
(12:28):
so a lot lots to look forward to for the
Red Storm there. If their fans were certainly showed out,
so soug because you were in with the hurt for
the herd on Friday. We were in for you on Friday,
and we took this line and it means a lot.
And I think that's what Rick Patina needs to remember.
Don't cry because it's over, Smile because it happened. That's
(12:52):
what you need to realize with what a great year
it was for Saint John's. So as much as Iowa
Sam may have hated to see this run come to
an end, what a run it was through the Big
East this season.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
You're here fair enough? Fair enough? What about you there,
Dan Buyer? Some you hated it from the weekend.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
Well, okay, quick question as we look at this. Well,
first of all, Doug, I actually hated the buzzer beater
for Maryland. And this kind of piggybacks a little bit
of what Jason was talking about. He was talking about
bracket pools. I'm talking about survivor pools, because if you
were in a survivor pool for the NCAA tournament, there
(13:34):
was a very good chance that the pool you were
in had a overwhelming number of people picked Maryland to
survive yesterday, and it would have turned survivor pools upside
down everywhere.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
It was a four to twelve matchup.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
It's the way you feel is the perfect, easiest recipe,
but it would have blown everything up for so many people,
except the ones who stayed away from that game or
maybe picked New Mexico. But Doug, when we talk about
people not like being involved or not happy with upsets
when you partake in March madness fun like a bracket
(14:08):
that we have always said is the reason why it's
so popular. Or you find other ways to enjoy it,
whether it be betting in Vegas or if your state
allows you, or in survivor pools and other things. Those
games make it great. My buddy texted me within sixty
seconds of Maryland's win, You're like, thank goodness, my survivor
(14:29):
entry is still alive. And so there were a lot
of people who are in those sorts of pools and
competitions that were on both sides of it, and I
think that's what makes it great. So I don't want
to hear anybody poop pooing or we don't have Cinderella.
You make your own fun in the NCAA tournament, and
that's what I'm calling on people to do. So I
hate it when people pooh pooh the weekend that was. Yeah,
(14:52):
it was kind of a blade, a little boring, But
there's ways that you can make it exciting for yourself.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Uh, Okay, I'm gonna be critical of somebody who I
consider a friend and I think is really really good
as job. Actually, probably two somebody's in the second But
Mick cron is the head coach of the UCLA Bruins, right,
they were beaten by Tennessee in the second round of
the tournament. And they asked him about what everybody like.
(15:20):
And by the way, John cal Perry acted like he
didn't know the portal open today, like stop it. When's
the portal open Monday? Huh? And we're still playing it
like you didn't know. Come on, dude, So actually let
me go, let me go an order here. This was
Kevin Willard after their first round win. Uh, talking about
(15:45):
something that happened around Christmas time.
Speaker 5 (15:48):
And it took you, guys three questions.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
I want to ask about the basketball too.
Speaker 9 (15:52):
But you know, obviously your name has come up in
as a candidate for various positions because Maryland has done
so well this year. Have you felt compelled to address
any of that with your team at all about your
future at Maryland?
Speaker 10 (16:07):
Yeah, I've I've addressed it with them directly. You know,
I'll say this, This is Damon and I talked on
Sunday night, right before right before selection Sunday. He gave
me a term sheet right before selection Sunday. I really
wasn't focused on it been focused on this team and
(16:28):
this Damon's talked to my agent. I talked to Damon
this morning at length about where we are. Obviously, it's
difficult right now because I think we would know his situation.
He's probably going to SMU, so it's kind of tough
to negotiate with somebody that's maybe not here. But I
(16:48):
need to make fundamental changes to the program. That's what
I'm focused on right now. That's why probably a deal
hasn't got done because I want to see I need
to see fundamental changes done. I want to program to
be great. I wanted to be the best in the country.
I want to win a national championship. But there's things
that need to change. When you're at a place for
three years and you put your heart and soul into it,
(17:10):
you kind of say sit there and say, okay, wait
a second. For us to be really successful, X.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Y and Z needs a change.
Speaker 10 (17:17):
And first and foremost, I need to make sure that
we are where we are with NIL and REV share
is not where we've been with NIL in.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
The past two years.
Speaker 10 (17:26):
We've been one of the worst, if not lowest, in
the NIL in the last two years So that's first
and foremost. I also have to make a fundamental change
where I can do the things that I want to
do with my program. You know, I wanted to spend
the nextra night in New York this year to celebrate
Christmas with my team, and I was told that we
(17:48):
can't do that because it's too expensive.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
All right, So that's that's Kevin Willard. And then this
is mc cronin after losing in the second round.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Do you start right now?
Speaker 11 (18:00):
Guys, it's twelve forty am and the season just ended.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
That's it. You're gonna ask me about next year?
Speaker 11 (18:11):
Right now? My biggest concern is how bad the seats
are on the Allegiant flight, on that terrible plane that
we're gonna have to fly home tomorrow. That's all of us,
the cheese, the plane version of the cheese.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
So again, again, here's the deal. Mick makes four point
one million, Kevin makes somewhere in the same neighborhood. Like,
I get it. You're, first of all, like I've flown Allegiance.
It's notings I can add for Allegiant Airlines, right, but
openly complaining about some stuff when you know I'm again
(18:53):
I make way less money for coaching a team, and
we have not been successful. I'm you know, on the court.
But like you know, Chris Well, we have Thanksgiving dinner.
Bill came. We went to my country club. Like instead
of fighting with the school over a couple thousand dollars, Bill,
I pick up the bill right, and imagine if I
(19:15):
made four million dollars. I just some of the things,
like Nick Cronin acting like he's not thinking about next year.
Of course you are. You meet about you meet usually
periodically once a month, just talk about your team with
your coaches, and then as you get closer to the
end of the season, you start talking about who's staying,
who's going. The disingenuous inness of it, like especially with Mick,
(19:37):
who usually with his complaints, is as real as reels
can be. So somebody asks him about next year. Yeah,
of course we're talking about it. You know, we gotta
fly home, then we gotta meet. That's the process, have
exit meetings, and then we'll figure out what's what. But
just the the constant complaint, what are we really complaining about?
(20:00):
What are we really complaining about?
Speaker 6 (20:01):
I'll stick up for Allegiance. They have direct flights from
LA to Cedar Api z, Iowa. They're very affordable. Uh,
and I utilize that in the last couple of summers.
So how about that. The seats are very uncomfortable, but
I'm getting what I pay for.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Yeah, I mean the seats on Spirit are really uncomfortable.
But people in Spirit Airlines apparently getting fights. I haven't
seen a fight outside in the Legion Airline.
Speaker 6 (20:19):
I flew Spirit Airlines for the first time in years,
doing a direct flight from LA to Philly. Can't can't complain, honestly,
it was just.
Speaker 5 (20:26):
Got it done. It takes off at land, got it like,
takes off in lands.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Takes it takes off in land.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
You hope. I'd love to.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
I'd love to find somebody that isn't in first class,
that sits in any planning goes yes, this is where
it's at, right, Yeah, of course it is what it is.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Motor of transportation. Dude.
Speaker 5 (20:42):
You know you grit your teeth and bear itt and
just want to get to where you're going, right.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Like, there's a lot tougher things than my charter flight.
Like say that out loud, My charter flights seats aren't
that comfortable. One more time, my charter flights seats aren't
that comfortable.
Speaker 6 (21:00):
To his point, you feel like your spine is imploding
in itself. But that's just part of doing business. One
hundred and fifty years ago, those people had to take
a wagon train.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
And that's Loven Hay.
Speaker 2 (21:09):

Speaker 1 (21:22):
Snug Alive show It's Fox Sports Radio. Question. I apologize
I did not listen to the show Friday, guys, because
I hosted the Herd. I was hanging out with my
son and we celebrated as we had like Birthday week
celebration last week. Did you guys talk about Bronnie having
(21:43):
seventeen points? On Thursday night.
Speaker 8 (21:46):
Aaron Torres was in with Dan and there was this
great weaving. Aaron had a really good take about how
bad Brownie James is a pro, and then Dan said,
do you know what we should be watching? Sen I'm
gonna quote Dan as he's right here. We should be
watching Bronnie James score twenty eight points on the tournament
right now.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
It was a good point. He had his best game
as a pro by far statistically and probably otherwise was
I think it was Thursday, And keep in mind they
got Molly wommed by. Was it twenty nine points? I
think twenty nine points by the Bucks. But look he
had seventeen points, and yeah, he was a He was
(22:32):
a minus thirty six, which was the second worst on
the team. So in other words, and keep in mind,
like Dalton Konnec was a minus ten played thirty one minutes,
Jordan Goodwin of minus eighteen played thirty one minutes, Bronnie
played thirty was a minus thirty six. In other words,
the Bucks were thirty six points better in the thirty
minutes that he played, but statistically, seventeen points on seven
(22:54):
to ten, shooting two of four from three, did have
five assists, although he had four turnovers and had three
and had three rebounds. Right, So you have people who
literally because there's no there's there's no balance to any
sort of discussion about somebody like Brownie James. He either
stinks or everyone's wrong, and he's really good. And what
(23:17):
I said on Friday was, hey, that was the first
game he looked like he might be a pro, might
be an NBA player. But the way it actually works is, yeah,
your defense matters, how the team plays matters, but let's
not like, again, let's not do the Sidney Crawford mole
on a supermodel. Let's be fair about it. But if
(23:37):
you're gonna be fair about it, then you got to
point out that they played the Bulls on Saturday night
at home, Lebron played, Lebron played, and it was a
you know, it was a one point game. Then the
first quarter is of I think a three point game
(23:58):
at halftime, and the third quarter they just got blown out.
Fourth quarter got even worse. And he did play in
that fourth quarter and he was zero seven from the
floor and a minus eight and seven minutes. And the
point is that, like, look, you can tell me about
I'm wrong because or I just didn't think he's an
(24:19):
NBA player. You know, I didn't even think based upon
his high school or how he played in college, he
was really an NBA prospect. But if you're gonna do
the aha, he scored seventeen and he shot seventy percent
of the floor and fifty from three, that's fine, you're
allowed to. But for the twenty three games that he's played,
(24:44):
he shot thirty two twenty five and seventy eight. He
has as many turnovers as he does assists, and granted
those are limited minutes, so you can say, hey, two
point three points and the half an assist in those
amount of minutes. It's really hard to accrue more stats. Fine,
but the percentages those do carry over. If we're actually
(25:10):
going to be balanced, we go. Yeah, the seventeen points
seals like the outlier, it was basically a bullpen day
where they played everybody in the roster except the guys
that were really good, and he made some shots. He
made some shots. But Dan is right. I mean, can
(25:30):
you imagine Bronni James playing the NCAA term right now?
Be amazing? Stuck got leave show here on Fox Sports Radio.

can focus on growing your business. So Aaron Rodgers has
not made it official that he's going going to the
Pittsburgh Steelers. Correct, We have no I've listened to every
one of Dan Buyer's updates. And that has not been
one of them. And then you hear, okay, let's see here.
(26:14):
Aaron Rodgers visits the Steelers. Aaron Rodgers visits Steelers. It
feels like it's close to a done deal. Never a
done deal until it's a done deal, Never a done
deal until it's it's a done deal. He was there
for six hours to the Steelers' facility, like can you
(26:34):
imagine be never for six hours? Like oh yeah, I
gotta get out of here. Although I'm sure they watched
a bunch of tape, right, shook hands and everything, watched
a bunch of tape. I guess the question is, oh,
why hasn't it happened yet? Why hasn't it happened yet?
(26:55):
Like what are we actually waiting for? And I can
I'll be honest with you. I'm a methodical decision maker.
There is damn methodical decision maker. But I don't know
if I'm this methodical, especially when at some point, like bro,
you gotta let us know, So you go visit their Friday,
(27:17):
and now we're Monday, and we're close to end of business, right,
end of business is in three so twenty three minutes
and no Aaron Rodgers deal, but does feel like today's
day which they drew up, the contract went back and forth,
and tomorrow's the day gets done by. Is that a
good read? Don't you think?
Speaker 4 (27:36):
I don't know if it is or not, Doug, But
I'm just ashamed if I'm a Pittsburgh Steelers fan to
have my team be strung out like this. I mean,
it was bad enough that they're welcoming Aaron Rodgers with
open arms after he constantly told them, I want to
see if there's a better situation than yours. Sorry, I'd
(27:56):
rather go to Minnesota. I'm going to wait for the
Vikings to this side on my future before I even
talk to you. And here's a Pittsburgh Steelers team that
is one of the proud organizations of this league, and
they're getting the seconds or the you know what seconds
of the Minnesota Vikings and what they don't want. I
(28:20):
mean Cam Hayward being like you want to be in
Pittsburgh Steelers and Steeler or not like Pickett.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
It's even more than that.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
It's using them and wanting to date the prettier girl
than going to Pittsburgh, and Pittsburgh welcomes them in, like,
come on, I'd rather just move forward with Mason Rudolph
then deal with all this stuff.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Yeah, I mean again, I kind of I agree with you,
I understand.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
But take a stand.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
You do know that this is how Aaron Rodgers roles.
If you're going to do business Aaron Rodgers, He's gonna
want to control the timing and the narrative. Fair.
Speaker 4 (29:02):
Yeah, which is the reason why they should move on
and not even worry about it when he's basically telling,
like he told them without saying as many words, I
would rather go to Minnesota and I'm gonna wait to
hear what they have to say before I even talk
to you and think about coming to Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Well, we don't know that.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
It's only showed up after it was reported Minnesota told
him that they were not pursuing him, and then what
do you know? He has a meeting two days after
to go to Pittsburgh and meet with Mike Tomlin and
Omar Khan.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
How do we know that there wasn't a meeting after
that for Minnesota and then they decided like, we.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
Don't, Doug, but it tracks that he would.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
You're you're right, okay, listen, I think you're right, but
we don't know, we we all assume, we all assume,
and we also I think it's fair to assume that
one of the reasons he didn't want to do it
this weekend was it would get lost in the shuffle
of the NCAA tournament. Why when I can have my
own day Tuesday, there's no games that day, I'm gonna
(30:05):
do it Tuesday.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Yeah, But there also other point is like, look at
supply and demand. He's the only multi time MVP Super
Bowl champion quarterback who's out there. They actually do kind
of need him, and you want to go where you wanted. Look,
I mean, it's not that different from what we're doing.
Obviously I'm at a much lower level even in college basketball.
But at some point you got to decide, all right,
(30:33):
do you want to score? You want the scholarship, We
don't want the scholarship. We don't. It's okay, there's a
lot of guys in the portal we can go and
get after so, but he does have a tendency to
leave everybody feeling, i don't know, a little uh jaded
or a little negative towards it when it doesn't have
(30:56):
to be that way. From FOTRO Pro Football Talk, the
win remains to be seen. The if is slowly becoming
more clear. One source in the general vicinity of those
who would be in position to know said Sunday, it's
a safe bet that Aaron Rodgers will eventually sign with
the Pittsburgh Steelers. The other part to it, and Dan
We're being fair and honest, is like, was Pittsburgh exhausting
(31:18):
all options or did they have multiple options that only
then concluded on Aaron? We don't know.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
Well, there's not many options out there, I.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
Agree, which is why he can take his sweet time.
Can take a sweet time. Coming up on The Doug

What do you have there, Doug.
Speaker 4 (33:03):
Before I get into the stories of the day, I
do want to say I consider my hometown, at least
when I was growing up, it was a wrestling town.
Now I wasn't a wrestler, but my best friend's dad
growing up was the head wrestling coach. So I wrestled
when I was younger, but when you're in a wrestling
town or a wrestling community, there's truly nothing like it.
Speaker 3 (33:24):
I mean, it's it's, it's.
Speaker 4 (33:26):
It's it's probably my favorite high school sports because of
everything that comes with it. So the interview that you
just did that you can hear on the podcast is
going to be.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
A must listen for sure. Appreciate it all right.
Speaker 4 (33:41):
Moving on to pay off the tease, Doug cam Ward,
potential number one overall pick in the NFL Draft, had
dinner with the Tennessee Titans last night.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
They had dinner.
Speaker 4 (33:54):
That report from Paul Kaharski was it a catch in La?
Speaker 3 (33:59):
I think it was you.
Speaker 4 (34:00):
Yes, that's right in South Florida because he's Kim Ward
working out at Miami's Pro day today with the Titans
having dinner, and I just was thinking to myself, what
do you order in that case?
Speaker 3 (34:15):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (34:16):
Or do they have dinner well, I don't know, just
say at someplace with American fair. I think that'll be
most general steakhouse, Jilli's perfect.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
Do you get the steak? Do you get the yes?
Speaker 4 (34:31):
Or do you show that your menu conscious in getting
something that is very healthy. I think there's a lot
of decisions in what you order.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
Okay, so what would what would you do?
Speaker 4 (34:42):
I would probably go with a steak, but I would
go with like a if you had the option of
the side, I would go with rice instead of Now
if it was just.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
It's actually not great for you, just sorry, Well.
Speaker 4 (34:54):
I think it would seem like it was, you know, less,
I don't know, maybe nicest asparagus with it.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
A spare guy. Yeah, I I love a spare guy.
Speaker 5 (35:07):
You should grant it.
Speaker 4 (35:08):
Works potato even though I would love one, but I
wouldn't go that route.
Speaker 5 (35:13):
Baked potato. That's hardy.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
Yeah, that's definitely very Midwestern of you. Baked potato, cheese,
sour cream, some chibes doubles sounds amazing.
Speaker 5 (35:22):
Some butter and cheese.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
Oh yes, butter cheese. Yes, kiddy yup, kidd up. What
it was like super mature is like I want, I want,
I want a Shirley Temple. Yeah. And what would I order?
I mean, I order pretty healthy anyway? Would I be
budget conscious?
Speaker 8 (35:41):
No?
Speaker 1 (35:42):
Might order the salmon if you really want to be
like health kichs like the salmon. And yes, I'd love
the subject in.
Speaker 6 (35:48):
The salad budget conscious like Maryland and yeah good frumpy
seats and uh not enough money to stay nextra night
in New York City, Jase, do what would you order?
Speaker 8 (35:59):
I like all these options, and then I'll throw in
some greens.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
Some greens, yes, semon vinegar a dress and vinegart dressing. Yeah,
well all vinegar works as well. Sammy, what about you?
Speaker 5 (36:13):
Oh Man?
Speaker 6 (36:14):
Yeah, I mean a Caesar salad on there, but some
kind of protein, something a little bit.
Speaker 5 (36:18):
And Dan's just like I had stuff prepared.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
No, listen real quick, Dan, we have a recress in
so I pre ordered everybody's meal. It's green Bay. What
do you think is on the meal?
Speaker 3 (36:29):
Cheese kurds?
Speaker 1 (36:30):
Of course you damn right? There is? What else you
got in the press?
Speaker 5 (36:33):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (36:34):
Sean Miller here for the second time, not going to Texas.
Speaker 3 (36:38):
That news broke yesterday.
Speaker 4 (36:39):
Ben McCollum to Iowa, Nico Medved, the new men's basketball
coach at Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
Well, Nico makes a ton of sense. He's from Minnesota.
What he was a manager at the U of M.
That's pretty cool. Ben McCollums from Iowa, right, And the
Drake thing didn't obviously only last a year, but he
won thirty one games. Drake has hired three consecutive coaches
who are outstanding. Nico came from Drake, it was only
there for a year, and then Darien de Freezer's now
(37:04):
at at They're all in the Big Ten now, all
former Drake coaches.
Speaker 3 (37:08):
Wow, Doug finally are.
Speaker 4 (37:09):
A report from boiseedev dot com says Boise State University
is considering changing their softball field to blue turf, just
like their football program.
Speaker 3 (37:21):
And I'm completely down with that.
Speaker 1 (37:23):
I would too, but they make it their thing. The
basketball court should be blue as well. Used to be blue.
They should go back to that as well. Then that's suppressed.
Speaker 5 (37:29):
Yeah, Bag, get out there and press.
Speaker 2 (37:31):
That was the press.

(00:44):
Byer plenty of time to clear his clear his proverbrial
throat on uh, because we had game time and I
rambled about uniforms and he was really well prepared for it.
So we'll do it within love and hate. But uh uh,
(01:05):
it's pretty interesting. You know Aaron Rodgers still waiting for
him to pick a team. And I also, if you
tuned in Friday to the Herd, I made a comment
about Bronnie and then the Lakers played, so yesterday though Saturday,
the day's run together when you're just watching sports and
(01:27):
then you're in the you're waiting for the portal to open,
which it opened earlier today, all day long. But I
just I think the whole Bronni coverage thing is kind
of comical. We'll get to that this hour. We got
the press up coming, we got some Mookie bet stuff
up coming, we got a lot up coming. But every
Monday we like to recap things we've all seen from
(01:48):
around the world of sports. We do so with a
little something we call love and Hate?
Speaker 2 (01:53):
What did you love?
Speaker 1 (01:55):
God? I love you?
Speaker 2 (01:56):
And what did you hate?
Speaker 1 (01:58):
These play hay is love love? Love and hate? Hate? Hate? Hmm?
What'd you love from the weekend? What'd you hate from
the weekend? Let's start with our good friend Dan Byer,
who has so much to love.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
I love it well.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
We were going to talk about this in game time,
but I'll bring it up as a love and those
on the East Coast may want to plug their ears.
I love the schedule of games during the NCAA tournament.
It has taken me a while, but to have Oregon
Arizona be there at night last night when I don't
want that weekend to end.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Oh, Pack ten after dark, This all was Pack ten
after dark. Everybody's like, hey, Pack ten after dark's dead. No,
it's not. And see tournament.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
I get it that those on the East Coast are like,
it's Monday morning and the tournament.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Is still going on.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
Yes it is, but I'm going to take the advantage
of the Pacific time zone and use it for my love.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
It was great to have it.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
I know people didn't love the standalone games and how
it was done, and back in the day everything had
to be done before sixty minutes started. Well that's no
longer the case. We're in a new time and it's
time to embrace it. I love that we had the
games spread out throughout the day, checking in here and there,
and then at night when I was winding down, there
was more basketball than ever. So I loved it.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Last night you loved Caleb Love.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Yeah, he was really good.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
Yes he was good matchup between those fighting Ducks and
Wildcats and that as he said, Packed twelve after Dark.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Conference of Champions. I saw that tweet earlier today that
I just love day Pash's old partner.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
Oh, I love that tweet.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
How good was that tweet?
Speaker 5 (03:50):
What's your name again?
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Yeah, if you missed it. Dave Pash who used to
be you know, his partner, What do you say earlier today?
I gotta I gotta find it. But so conference, I
can hear Bill saying Conference of Champions, what a game?
What a life? I'm sleeping in the desert? What's your
(04:13):
name again? He used to do that all the time
to pass It was so good, so good? That was
That was a fun one. Iowa, Sam, what's you left
on the weekend?
Speaker 6 (04:22):
I'm gonna pull my love of the weekend from something
that probably happened late last night in Iowa City, Iowa,
or Iowa Athletics stractor Beth Getz probably giving a Drake coach,
Ben McCollum a call late Sunday night, maybe very early
this morning.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
But that's my love of the weekend.
Speaker 6 (04:39):
Is Ben McCollum coming home to Iowa City to take
over the Iowa Hawkeye men's basketball team. This seems like
a perfect pairing Ben, of course, from this from Iowa City,
born there, did a lot of work, winning four national
titles at the D two level, and he's still fairly young.
He's like forty three turning forty four. Next month. So
I love that that he's the new coach. People are
(05:00):
really really excited about this. Yeah, it's Ben McCollum time,
and I was city that's my love.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Uh okay, what about you there, Chase dou.
Speaker 7 (05:11):
Do you have an opinion on that? Like a drive
by opinion? Do you like that Ben McCollum. I mean,
he won four national championships at the D two level.
He's from Iowa, and he just led Drake to thirty
one and three, and you know Bennett Search is going
to come with him.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
It's kind of a no brainer.
Speaker 5 (05:29):
I didn't know how long was this in the works.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
I don't know because did you hear his answer when
he was asked? Because he was asked the question and by.
Speaker 5 (05:39):
The way I had him on Friday, didn't you?
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Yeah? And I did I ask him about future jobs
or something.
Speaker 6 (05:47):
Yeah, he's not a job hopper. That's the thing is
that you're like a little pop.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Well, look he gave he gave a real honest answer
about it. He said, you know, I forget, But did
you hear his answer that he gave after the game?
Then you can Yeah, you can find that?
Speaker 5 (06:03):
Can you can you summarize it for us. Or did
he curse.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
No, he didn't curse at all. He was just like, oh, hey,
you know, I don't think I can answer that all
the shots. Yeah, he was like one of those like okay,
he goes.
Speaker 8 (06:20):
Did he answer the question that if if Drake did
not get destroyed by Kendrick Lamar wassher, if he would
still be a Drake.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Or No he didn't. No one asked that, no one
else around that name.
Speaker 6 (06:32):
You know would be fun is if we had a
Drake versus Lamar matchup. There's a Lamar University in Texas. Yes,
we have Drake versus Lamar.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
It's Texas.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
That'd be fun, little Drake versus Lamar.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
All right, I'll give I'll give my my love. Whyat
Hendrickson winning in the heavyweight division in uh in College
Wrestling a national championship. He upset Gable Stevenson, who's the
defending gold medalist.
Speaker 6 (07:02):
Right, and he also tried out for the Buffalo Bills.
He was in their camp for a few weeks.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Yeah, I mean he's done a little bit of everything.
He's a UFC guy. He won seventy matches, seventy matches
in a row. Like he was like unbeat and then
if you watch the match, it was cool because at
the start of the match, like Hendrickson walks around, he's
got the American flag rap runner and you're like, whoa
hold on, buddy, And he had been a world champion
before and he also is actually a second lieutenant in
(07:29):
the Air Force, and Stevenson kind of like big dogged him,
like tried to like kind of bump him get out
of his way. It was it was it. It felt
like if WWE was ever real, like real wrestling, that's
what it would look like. I mean, it was a
great match, and it seemed like he waited till Stevenson
(07:52):
was tired right at the very end of the match,
and he got the he got the takedown and won
the match. He just kind of held on. But it
was that was so and then you know the the
optics with the saluting the President United States, who happened
to stay for the match. It was really cool. So yeah, man,
that was that was dope. As my schools uh like
(08:13):
that like that as well, But that was a of
the moments this weekend. That was the best sports moment
for me. What about you there, Jace, do you gotta
find something nice to say about the weekend, because I
know you got plenty of that you hated.
Speaker 8 (08:24):
I'll tell you what I loved. I loved that Danny
Hurley is finally getting the deserved criticism. I saw some
pretty influential voices on TV and on Twitter be like,
are we really going to normalize this behavior? You know,
during the election cycle and since the election, we've heard
a lot from one side of the political spectrum of
(08:45):
we can't normalize wrong things, we can't continue to accept
these things. And I think with Danny Hurley, we I'll
reached that point where we're like, are we really going
to put up with this guy being a douche after
a loss? So that whole thing yesterday with the getting
caught on Mike telling the other team that the refs
(09:07):
might screw you, blah blah blah. I actually watched the
last five minutes of that game, like, it wasn't the
ref's fault that you and your team choked away that game,
Your team stopped making shots, their team started making shots,
And it just struck me as like, we're gonna allow
him to be completely unaccountable for his team's actions. Towards
(09:27):
the end of that game. So I love that he
got some criticism from people that actually matter overnight.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Uh, okay, let's get to what we hated. That's what
we loved, Dan, Do you have any more than you
loved I told you, I give you am time.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
No, it's totally okay, yep.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
All right, Let's get to what you hated from the weekend.
Let's start with you, Jay Stewson's you're the resident hater,
all right.
Speaker 8 (09:56):
So the uh, the NCAA tournament bractice are the most
unpredictable thing in the history of the world. I said
last week, it's unfair that people that do this for
a living, experts have to put their brackets online for
us to look at and scrutinize, and it inevitably takes
a little bit of a tear at their credibility when
(10:19):
they get their brackets wrong. So if I'm going to
give you that grace, I also want to do this.
How about this. If you admit on the air that
you are a college basketball casual, you can't brag about
having fifteen of the sixteen teams remaining. You can't brag
about that you have lucked yourself into it. And man,
(10:41):
I'm really fortunate that I just chose teams that want
It's not a hey, take a look at my bracket,
because you already said you're a casual. It was the
luck of the draw. So I hate people taking credit
for bracket victories after saying they're casuals.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Sam it for the wicket.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
I think a lot of people were I clear my
throat there.
Speaker 6 (11:05):
I think a lot of people were, uh had hitched
their wagons to the uh Saint John's Red storm making
a deep run. I think this team's maybe with Patino
a little bit ahead of schedule, but you know, like
many I had UH Saint John's going going pretty.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Far, and so you hated that they lost.
Speaker 5 (11:24):
I hated that they lost.
Speaker 6 (11:25):
I hated it because I think Patino in the NC
Tournament is always a good thing.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
It's you know, it's Calipari and the NC tourn It
is not a good thing.
Speaker 5 (11:32):
It is one had to illuminate the other.
Speaker 6 (11:33):
But I think I think Patino's kind of the the
mob boss of of that uh that family right there.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Like he's he does. He does have a Michael Corleoni
sort of look.
Speaker 6 (11:42):
I mean, like I think of cal Perry as being
sort of like a high ranking lieutenant. But like Patino's
up there, more national titles, you know, more fun you know, yes, yes,
Rhode Island. Yeah, it's kind of the backyard for the UH,
some of those guys. So you know their offense, Saint
John's offense. During the regular season, they eked out a
(12:04):
lot of grinder wins with defense and hustle and energy,
and they were just shoot, they just shot terribly in
that game against Kentucky or excuse me against UH against Arkansas,
I was thinking about cal Perry's old stomping grounds. So
that's what I hated that Patino's not in the tournament anymore.
And it was a great year for them, I mean
the conference champion, tournament champions, and regular season champions, and
(12:28):
so a lot lots to look forward to for the
Red Storm there. If their fans were certainly showed out,
so soug because you were in with the hurt for
the herd on Friday. We were in for you on Friday,
and we took this line and it means a lot.
And I think that's what Rick Patina needs to remember.
Don't cry because it's over, Smile because it happened. That's
(12:52):
what you need to realize with what a great year
it was for Saint John's. So as much as Iowa
Sam may have hated to see this run come to
an end, what a run it was through the Big
East this season.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
You're here fair enough? Fair enough? What about you there,
Dan Buyer? Some you hated it from the weekend.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
Well, okay, quick question as we look at this. Well,
first of all, Doug, I actually hated the buzzer beater
for Maryland. And this kind of piggybacks a little bit
of what Jason was talking about. He was talking about
bracket pools. I'm talking about survivor pools, because if you
were in a survivor pool for the NCAA tournament, there
(13:34):
was a very good chance that the pool you were
in had a overwhelming number of people picked Maryland to
survive yesterday, and it would have turned survivor pools upside
down everywhere.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
It was a four to twelve matchup.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
It's the way you feel is the perfect, easiest recipe,
but it would have blown everything up for so many people,
except the ones who stayed away from that game or
maybe picked New Mexico. But Doug, when we talk about
people not like being involved or not happy with upsets
when you partake in March madness fun like a bracket
(14:08):
that we have always said is the reason why it's
so popular. Or you find other ways to enjoy it,
whether it be betting in Vegas or if your state
allows you, or in survivor pools and other things. Those
games make it great. My buddy texted me within sixty
seconds of Maryland's win, You're like, thank goodness, my survivor
(14:29):
entry is still alive. And so there were a lot
of people who are in those sorts of pools and
competitions that were on both sides of it, and I
think that's what makes it great. So I don't want
to hear anybody poop pooing or we don't have Cinderella.
You make your own fun in the NCAA tournament, and
that's what I'm calling on people to do. So I
hate it when people pooh pooh the weekend that was. Yeah,
(14:52):
it was kind of a blade, a little boring, But
there's ways that you can make it exciting for yourself.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Uh, Okay, I'm gonna be critical of somebody who I
consider a friend and I think is really really good
as job. Actually, probably two somebody's in the second But
Mick cron is the head coach of the UCLA Bruins, right,
they were beaten by Tennessee in the second round of
the tournament. And they asked him about what everybody like.
(15:20):
And by the way, John cal Perry acted like he
didn't know the portal open today, like stop it. When's
the portal open Monday? Huh? And we're still playing it
like you didn't know. Come on, dude, So actually let
me go, let me go an order here. This was
Kevin Willard after their first round win. Uh, talking about
(15:45):
something that happened around Christmas time.
Speaker 5 (15:48):
And it took you, guys three questions.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
I want to ask about the basketball too.
Speaker 9 (15:52):
But you know, obviously your name has come up in
as a candidate for various positions because Maryland has done
so well this year. Have you felt compelled to address
any of that with your team at all about your
future at Maryland?
Speaker 10 (16:07):
Yeah, I've I've addressed it with them directly. You know,
I'll say this, This is Damon and I talked on
Sunday night, right before right before selection Sunday. He gave
me a term sheet right before selection Sunday. I really
wasn't focused on it been focused on this team and
(16:28):
this Damon's talked to my agent. I talked to Damon
this morning at length about where we are. Obviously, it's
difficult right now because I think we would know his situation.
He's probably going to SMU, so it's kind of tough
to negotiate with somebody that's maybe not here. But I
(16:48):
need to make fundamental changes to the program. That's what
I'm focused on right now. That's why probably a deal
hasn't got done because I want to see I need
to see fundamental changes done. I want to program to
be great. I wanted to be the best in the country.
I want to win a national championship. But there's things
that need to change. When you're at a place for
three years and you put your heart and soul into it,
(17:10):
you kind of say sit there and say, okay, wait
a second. For us to be really successful, X.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Y and Z needs a change.
Speaker 10 (17:17):
And first and foremost, I need to make sure that
we are where we are with NIL and REV share
is not where we've been with NIL in.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
The past two years.
Speaker 10 (17:26):
We've been one of the worst, if not lowest, in
the NIL in the last two years So that's first
and foremost. I also have to make a fundamental change
where I can do the things that I want to
do with my program. You know, I wanted to spend
the nextra night in New York this year to celebrate
Christmas with my team, and I was told that we
(17:48):
can't do that because it's too expensive.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
All right, So that's that's Kevin Willard. And then this
is mc cronin after losing in the second round.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Do you start right now?
Speaker 11 (18:00):
Guys, it's twelve forty am and the season just ended.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
That's it. You're gonna ask me about next year?
Speaker 11 (18:11):
Right now? My biggest concern is how bad the seats
are on the Allegiant flight, on that terrible plane that
we're gonna have to fly home tomorrow. That's all of us,
the cheese, the plane version of the cheese.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
So again, again, here's the deal. Mick makes four point
one million, Kevin makes somewhere in the same neighborhood. Like,
I get it. You're, first of all, like I've flown Allegiance.
It's notings I can add for Allegiant Airlines, right, but
openly complaining about some stuff when you know I'm again
(18:53):
I make way less money for coaching a team, and
we have not been successful. I'm you know, on the court.
But like you know, Chris Well, we have Thanksgiving dinner.
Bill came. We went to my country club. Like instead
of fighting with the school over a couple thousand dollars, Bill,
I pick up the bill right, and imagine if I
(19:15):
made four million dollars. I just some of the things,
like Nick Cronin acting like he's not thinking about next year.
Of course you are. You meet about you meet usually
periodically once a month, just talk about your team with
your coaches, and then as you get closer to the
end of the season, you start talking about who's staying,
who's going. The disingenuous inness of it, like especially with Mick,
(19:37):
who usually with his complaints, is as real as reels
can be. So somebody asks him about next year. Yeah,
of course we're talking about it. You know, we gotta
fly home, then we gotta meet. That's the process, have
exit meetings, and then we'll figure out what's what. But
just the the constant complaint, what are we really complaining about?
(20:00):
What are we really complaining about?
Speaker 6 (20:01):
I'll stick up for Allegiance. They have direct flights from
LA to Cedar Api z, Iowa. They're very affordable. Uh,
and I utilize that in the last couple of summers.
So how about that. The seats are very uncomfortable, but
I'm getting what I pay for.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Yeah, I mean the seats on Spirit are really uncomfortable.
But people in Spirit Airlines apparently getting fights. I haven't
seen a fight outside in the Legion Airline.
Speaker 6 (20:19):
I flew Spirit Airlines for the first time in years,
doing a direct flight from LA to Philly. Can't can't complain, honestly,
it was just.
Speaker 5 (20:26):
Got it done. It takes off at land, got it like,
takes off in lands.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Takes it takes off in land.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
You hope. I'd love to.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
I'd love to find somebody that isn't in first class,
that sits in any planning goes yes, this is where
it's at, right, Yeah, of course it is what it is.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Motor of transportation. Dude.
Speaker 5 (20:42):
You know you grit your teeth and bear itt and
just want to get to where you're going, right.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Like, there's a lot tougher things than my charter flight.
Like say that out loud, My charter flights seats aren't
that comfortable. One more time, my charter flights seats aren't
that comfortable.
Speaker 6 (21:00):
To his point, you feel like your spine is imploding
in itself. But that's just part of doing business. One
hundred and fifty years ago, those people had to take
a wagon train.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
And that's Loven Hay.

Speaker 1 (21:22):
Snug Alive show It's Fox Sports Radio. Question. I apologize
I did not listen to the show Friday, guys, because
I hosted the Herd. I was hanging out with my
son and we celebrated as we had like Birthday week
celebration last week. Did you guys talk about Bronnie having
(21:43):
seventeen points? On Thursday night.
Speaker 8 (21:46):
Aaron Torres was in with Dan and there was this
great weaving. Aaron had a really good take about how
bad Brownie James is a pro, and then Dan said,
do you know what we should be watching? Sen I'm
gonna quote Dan as he's right here. We should be
watching Bronnie James score twenty eight points on the tournament
right now.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
It was a good point. He had his best game
as a pro by far statistically and probably otherwise was
I think it was Thursday, And keep in mind they
got Molly wommed by. Was it twenty nine points? I
think twenty nine points by the Bucks. But look he
had seventeen points, and yeah, he was a He was
(22:32):
a minus thirty six, which was the second worst on
the team. So in other words, and keep in mind,
like Dalton Konnec was a minus ten played thirty one minutes,
Jordan Goodwin of minus eighteen played thirty one minutes, Bronnie
played thirty was a minus thirty six. In other words,
the Bucks were thirty six points better in the thirty
minutes that he played, but statistically, seventeen points on seven
(22:54):
to ten, shooting two of four from three, did have
five assists, although he had four turnovers and had three
and had three rebounds. Right, So you have people who
literally because there's no there's there's no balance to any
sort of discussion about somebody like Brownie James. He either
stinks or everyone's wrong, and he's really good. And what
(23:17):
I said on Friday was, hey, that was the first
game he looked like he might be a pro, might
be an NBA player. But the way it actually works is, yeah,
your defense matters, how the team plays matters, but let's
not like, again, let's not do the Sidney Crawford mole
on a supermodel. Let's be fair about it. But if
(23:37):
you're gonna be fair about it, then you got to
point out that they played the Bulls on Saturday night
at home, Lebron played, Lebron played, and it was a
you know, it was a one point game. Then the
first quarter is of I think a three point game
(23:58):
at halftime, and the third quarter they just got blown out.
Fourth quarter got even worse. And he did play in
that fourth quarter and he was zero seven from the
floor and a minus eight and seven minutes. And the
point is that, like, look, you can tell me about
I'm wrong because or I just didn't think he's an
(24:19):
NBA player. You know, I didn't even think based upon
his high school or how he played in college, he
was really an NBA prospect. But if you're gonna do
the aha, he scored seventeen and he shot seventy percent
of the floor and fifty from three, that's fine, you're
allowed to. But for the twenty three games that he's played,
(24:44):
he shot thirty two twenty five and seventy eight. He
has as many turnovers as he does assists, and granted
those are limited minutes, so you can say, hey, two
point three points and the half an assist in those
amount of minutes. It's really hard to accrue more stats. Fine,
but the percentages those do carry over. If we're actually
(25:10):
going to be balanced, we go. Yeah, the seventeen points
seals like the outlier, it was basically a bullpen day
where they played everybody in the roster except the guys
that were really good, and he made some shots. He
made some shots. But Dan is right. I mean, can
(25:30):
you imagine Bronni James playing the NCAA term right now?
Be amazing? Stuck got leave show here on Fox Sports Radio.
Don't have the right team in your on the court.
Express and playing professionals can help from contract placements to
full time hires. We've got you covered. Visit expresspros dot
com today and let us handle your hiring so you
(25:51):
can focus on growing your business. So Aaron Rodgers has
not made it official that he's going going to the
Pittsburgh Steelers. Correct, We have no I've listened to every
one of Dan Buyer's updates. And that has not been
one of them. And then you hear, okay, let's see here.
(26:14):
Aaron Rodgers visits the Steelers. Aaron Rodgers visits Steelers. It
feels like it's close to a done deal. Never a
done deal until it's a done deal, Never a done
deal until it's it's a done deal. He was there
for six hours to the Steelers' facility, like can you
(26:34):
imagine be never for six hours? Like oh yeah, I
gotta get out of here. Although I'm sure they watched
a bunch of tape, right, shook hands and everything, watched
a bunch of tape. I guess the question is, oh,
why hasn't it happened yet? Why hasn't it happened yet?
(26:55):
Like what are we actually waiting for? And I can
I'll be honest with you. I'm a methodical decision maker.
There is damn methodical decision maker. But I don't know
if I'm this methodical, especially when at some point, like bro,
you gotta let us know, So you go visit their Friday,
(27:17):
and now we're Monday, and we're close to end of business, right,
end of business is in three so twenty three minutes
and no Aaron Rodgers deal, but does feel like today's
day which they drew up, the contract went back and forth,
and tomorrow's the day gets done by. Is that a
good read? Don't you think?
Speaker 4 (27:36):
I don't know if it is or not, Doug, But
I'm just ashamed if I'm a Pittsburgh Steelers fan to
have my team be strung out like this. I mean,
it was bad enough that they're welcoming Aaron Rodgers with
open arms after he constantly told them, I want to
see if there's a better situation than yours. Sorry, I'd
(27:56):
rather go to Minnesota. I'm going to wait for the
Vikings to this side on my future before I even
talk to you. And here's a Pittsburgh Steelers team that
is one of the proud organizations of this league, and
they're getting the seconds or the you know what seconds
of the Minnesota Vikings and what they don't want. I
(28:20):
mean Cam Hayward being like you want to be in
Pittsburgh Steelers and Steeler or not like Pickett.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
It's even more than that.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
It's using them and wanting to date the prettier girl
than going to Pittsburgh, and Pittsburgh welcomes them in, like,
come on, I'd rather just move forward with Mason Rudolph
then deal with all this stuff.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Yeah, I mean again, I kind of I agree with you,
I understand.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
But take a stand.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
You do know that this is how Aaron Rodgers roles.
If you're going to do business Aaron Rodgers, He's gonna
want to control the timing and the narrative. Fair.
Speaker 4 (29:02):
Yeah, which is the reason why they should move on
and not even worry about it when he's basically telling,
like he told them without saying as many words, I
would rather go to Minnesota and I'm gonna wait to
hear what they have to say before I even talk
to you and think about coming to Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Well, we don't know that.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
It's only showed up after it was reported Minnesota told
him that they were not pursuing him, and then what
do you know? He has a meeting two days after
to go to Pittsburgh and meet with Mike Tomlin and
Omar Khan.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
How do we know that there wasn't a meeting after
that for Minnesota and then they decided like, we.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
Don't, Doug, but it tracks that he would.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
You're you're right, okay, listen, I think you're right, but
we don't know, we we all assume, we all assume,
and we also I think it's fair to assume that
one of the reasons he didn't want to do it
this weekend was it would get lost in the shuffle
of the NCAA tournament. Why when I can have my
own day Tuesday, there's no games that day, I'm gonna
(30:05):
do it Tuesday.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Yeah, But there also other point is like, look at
supply and demand. He's the only multi time MVP Super
Bowl champion quarterback who's out there. They actually do kind
of need him, and you want to go where you wanted. Look,
I mean, it's not that different from what we're doing.
Obviously I'm at a much lower level even in college basketball.
But at some point you got to decide, all right,
(30:33):
do you want to score? You want the scholarship, We
don't want the scholarship. We don't. It's okay, there's a
lot of guys in the portal we can go and
get after so, but he does have a tendency to
leave everybody feeling, i don't know, a little uh jaded
or a little negative towards it when it doesn't have
(30:56):
to be that way. From FOTRO Pro Football Talk, the
win remains to be seen. The if is slowly becoming
more clear. One source in the general vicinity of those
who would be in position to know said Sunday, it's
a safe bet that Aaron Rodgers will eventually sign with
the Pittsburgh Steelers. The other part to it, and Dan
We're being fair and honest, is like, was Pittsburgh exhausting
(31:18):
all options or did they have multiple options that only
then concluded on Aaron? We don't know.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
Well, there's not many options out there, I.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
Agree, which is why he can take his sweet time.
Can take a sweet time. Coming up on The Doug
Gottleb Show Live on the Tiret dot Com Studios, what

Speaker 3 (33:00):
What do you have there, Doug.
Speaker 4 (33:03):
Before I get into the stories of the day, I
do want to say I consider my hometown, at least
when I was growing up, it was a wrestling town.
Now I wasn't a wrestler, but my best friend's dad
growing up was the head wrestling coach. So I wrestled
when I was younger, but when you're in a wrestling
town or a wrestling community, there's truly nothing like it.
Speaker 3 (33:24):
I mean, it's it's, it's.
Speaker 4 (33:26):
It's it's probably my favorite high school sports because of
everything that comes with it. So the interview that you
just did that you can hear on the podcast is
going to be.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
A must listen for sure. Appreciate it all right.
Speaker 4 (33:41):
Moving on to pay off the tease, Doug cam Ward,
potential number one overall pick in the NFL Draft, had
dinner with the Tennessee Titans last night.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
They had dinner.
Speaker 4 (33:54):
That report from Paul Kaharski was it a catch in La?
Speaker 3 (33:59):
I think it was you.
Speaker 4 (34:00):
Yes, that's right in South Florida because he's Kim Ward
working out at Miami's Pro day today with the Titans
having dinner, and I just was thinking to myself, what
do you order in that case?
Speaker 3 (34:15):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (34:16):
Or do they have dinner well, I don't know, just
say at someplace with American fair. I think that'll be
most general steakhouse, Jilli's perfect.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
Do you get the steak? Do you get the yes?
Speaker 4 (34:31):
Or do you show that your menu conscious in getting
something that is very healthy. I think there's a lot
of decisions in what you order.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
Okay, so what would what would you do?
Speaker 4 (34:42):
I would probably go with a steak, but I would
go with like a if you had the option of
the side, I would go with rice instead of Now
if it was just.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
It's actually not great for you, just sorry, Well.
Speaker 4 (34:54):
I think it would seem like it was, you know, less,
I don't know, maybe nicest asparagus with it.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
A spare guy. Yeah, I I love a spare guy.
Speaker 5 (35:07):
You should grant it.
Speaker 4 (35:08):
Works potato even though I would love one, but I
wouldn't go that route.
Speaker 5 (35:13):
Baked potato. That's hardy.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
Yeah, that's definitely very Midwestern of you. Baked potato, cheese,
sour cream, some chibes doubles sounds amazing.
Speaker 5 (35:22):
Some butter and cheese.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
Oh yes, butter cheese. Yes, kiddy yup, kidd up. What
it was like super mature is like I want, I want,
I want a Shirley Temple. Yeah. And what would I order?
I mean, I order pretty healthy anyway? Would I be
budget conscious?
Speaker 8 (35:41):
No?
Speaker 1 (35:42):
Might order the salmon if you really want to be
like health kichs like the salmon. And yes, I'd love
the subject in.
Speaker 6 (35:48):
The salad budget conscious like Maryland and yeah good frumpy
seats and uh not enough money to stay nextra night
in New York City, Jase, do what would you order?
Speaker 8 (35:59):
I like all these options, and then I'll throw in
some greens.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
Some greens, yes, semon vinegar a dress and vinegart dressing. Yeah,
well all vinegar works as well. Sammy, what about you?
Speaker 5 (36:13):
Oh Man?
Speaker 6 (36:14):
Yeah, I mean a Caesar salad on there, but some
kind of protein, something a little bit.
Speaker 5 (36:18):
And Dan's just like I had stuff prepared.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
No, listen real quick, Dan, we have a recress in
so I pre ordered everybody's meal. It's green Bay. What
do you think is on the meal?
Speaker 3 (36:29):
Cheese kurds?
Speaker 1 (36:30):
Of course you damn right? There is? What else you
got in the press?
Speaker 5 (36:33):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (36:34):
Sean Miller here for the second time, not going to Texas.
Speaker 3 (36:38):
That news broke yesterday.
Speaker 4 (36:39):
Ben McCollum to Iowa, Nico Medved, the new men's basketball
coach at Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
Well, Nico makes a ton of sense. He's from Minnesota.
What he was a manager at the U of M.
That's pretty cool. Ben McCollums from Iowa, right, And the
Drake thing didn't obviously only last a year, but he
won thirty one games. Drake has hired three consecutive coaches
who are outstanding. Nico came from Drake, it was only
there for a year, and then Darien de Freezer's now
(37:04):
at at They're all in the Big Ten now, all
former Drake coaches.
Speaker 3 (37:08):
Wow, Doug finally are.
Speaker 4 (37:09):
A report from boiseedev dot com says Boise State University
is considering changing their softball field to blue turf, just
like their football program.
Speaker 3 (37:21):
And I'm completely down with that.
Speaker 1 (37:23):
I would too, but they make it their thing. The
basketball court should be blue as well. Used to be blue.
They should go back to that as well. Then that's suppressed.
Speaker 5 (37:29):
Yeah, Bag, get out there and press.
Speaker 2 (37:31):
That was the press.
Speaker 1 (37:33):

I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
