Sports Radio got out standing second hour of the show
(00:22):
for you. Got a little love and hate. Uh, I'm
gonna have to eat my words. Got the press. We'll
make our predictions on tonight's Game five of the NBA Finals.
Maybe we'll look back a little bit at the weekend. Also,
(00:46):
you got Dodgers padres tonight. Oh oh oh. We do
this every Monday. It's just a great way for us
to kind of sometimes humble brag about things we did,
sometimes get off our chest, things that ticked us off,
(01:06):
and talk about all the different sporting events that are
going on. Remember over the weekend, if you're if you're
in our chair or chairs right, it's like Jase Stu
told me, it's like there's just a I don't I'm
not going to quote you verbatim, but it's like cornucopia
of topics that you could get to. Right. There's there's
the Raphael Dever's trade, there's the there's the you know
(01:32):
trade between Memphis and Orlando in the NBA. And then
in terms of game action, if you're into Big Three,
shocker here Dwight Howard and Lan Stevenson got into it.
I know, I know, you're so surprised or you actually
don't care. You have NBA stuff, yes, some NFL stuff,
and of course you have NHL we haven't talked about yet.
(01:54):
So there's a myriad of potential topics and the best
way to encapsulate all because we all come out from
a different perspect right. Dan works on the weekend. Sam
works on the weekend some but also stalks Kaitlin Clark
a little bit. And you know, as we've been told,
Jay stew in his palatial state out and Santa Clarita
(02:17):
goes on these epic hikes, but canceled the hike on
Saturday so we could watch Kaitlin Clark. What do we
do this weekend? What are we into? What are we
not into? Let's get to it. Love and hate?
Speaker 2 (02:27):
What did you love?
Speaker 1 (02:28):
God? I love you? And what did you hate?
Speaker 3 (02:31):
These Claire Hays, Hey.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
It's the Doug Gottlieb Show, Fox Sports Tradio. What we love,
What do we hate? I've said this a million times
and I'll say it one more. I love road wins.
We've had now in the NBA Finals, two road wins,
and there is nothing more rewarding, nothing more thrilling, nothing
(02:58):
more memorable, at least the basketball player now basketball coach
and me. Then winning on the road, it literally feels
like it's you against the world. And in taking case
in point with the Pacers, everyone's wearing yellow except for
you have like a little handful, a little pocket of
(03:18):
fans usually there you know, wives and girlfriends and some executives.
Outside of that, literally everybody in the building wants to
see you lose, wants to see you fail. So the
silence of those final moments when you're gonna win and
a cord to the people are leaving early and whatever
and they stop talking. It's like the greatest Oklahoma city
(03:39):
winning on the road, coming from behind the way that
the Pacers had come from behind against so many previous teams,
including the Thunder in Game one, was remarkable. And I'm
not I like the Thunder I really really like the
Thunder and how they do things. But I'm not like
(03:59):
a Thunder guy. I'm not in the bag for the Thunder. Still,
it made me want to be in that locker. It
made me want to say, like, how cool is this
a road win in the NBA Finals against a ROCKUS
atmosphere Pat McAfee, Kerse SINATCYA. It was. It was great
road win. I'm all for Thunder road win to right
(04:20):
right right side the series even better. That's what I
left from the weekend, Dan Byer, would you love for
the weekend?
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Doug? Just out of curiosity, did you try to go
to Game five tonight?
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Yeah, okay. I figured this is, you know, right in
that wheelhouse, like it's a must game. Everybody wants to
get a ticket, trying to get a ticket. And but
I thought myself also, Doug, I guess in a way,
I love to be proven wrong. I don't know if
this is what you're getting at, but I loved everything
about the US Open, even if I said on Friday
(04:55):
that it was more likely that JJ spawn would finish
out of the top ten then actually win the tur
and he actually won the tournament.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Listen, you're not as bad as me. Okay, I did
a rant on the podcast only part of this show,
which you can download subscribe rate to listen to, where
I said that the guy who leads the relative no
name or no name that leads a major at the
end of the first day is like the guy you
see in the first scene in a horror movie. He
(05:23):
never makes it to the end of the movie. Right, Yeah,
I'm with you. I'm with you.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Well jj smawn. During that rain delay even changed shirts,
which I thought was great. And if you'll notice in
the highlights, he made this mention last night and speaking
that they had the rain delay at Oakmont, but you'll
notice that his back nine highlights are in a different
shirt than when he shot forty on the front nine,
(05:48):
and that ended up changing everything. Said that the rain
delay really helped him. It had everything that I wanted
a US open to be, not only these pat yesterday,
but those past four days prior to that. And even
when the rain came in and really softened the course,
it just made it difficult in other ways, which was
(06:11):
awesome to see. And now you're used to lightning quick
greens here and there, now you've got wet rough standing
water in some places, which I know Sam Burns isn't
happy about, but it made it a test. It was
awesome to watch over the four days and to see
the guys who made the shots at the end be rewarded,
Robert McIntyre and JJ Spawn being the two foremost likely.
(06:35):
It was awesome to watch. So a great US opening
the books at Oakmond.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Hey, can I offer you a hypothesis? Sure, okay, restrict
your plate racing in NASCAR? Now, yes, look to the
to the fan they talked about restrictor plate racing. The
design was to slow them down, to make the cars
(06:59):
so that they was greater, so you had less cars
going up in the air crashing and the opportunity to
anybody dying. Right, That was the idea. But recidi plate
racing really, what it does is it clumps all the
cars together artificially, creating these unbelievable finishes because so many
are within arms distance of each other. To have it
(07:20):
make a move at the end of winter race, is
that fair?
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Yeah, okay, I feel like that's the idea of the
US open like where the initial thing a lot like
the downforce is the reason and slowing them down in
safety is the thing with Nascar. I think what the
what the USGA says is, hey, we want the best,
the hardest test of golf. We want to make this
(07:44):
the hardest test of golf. Like, Okay, I mean you
could have dudes, you know. I mean you could have
booby traps and people falling into pits and could be harder.
But the point is that I think that because it's
so difficult, and because par is plenty good enough, it
keeps them all. That's why that leaderboard yesterday for the
(08:07):
last two hours was like a turnstyle. You're like, wait,
who's in first nowt or whatever? And I don't. I
kind of think it's by design. It keeps them all
kind of clumped together and gives you a much more
likely to be close finish than if you just or
naturally said, hey, go play like the PGA, go play
(08:27):
at the British Open. I don't know what the reality
is and how close all these finishes are, but that
was my thought when I was watching it.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
I think that there's truth to that much bigger topic
and probably for another time, but it's also sometimes why
you will get a random US Open winner. Now it's
gonna be up to JJ Spahn to find out if
he is the random winner or if there is more
to come because the season's been great. Lost in the
playoff at the Players another huge event, Well I'm not
a major, probably the biggest event that isn't a major
(08:57):
on tour. So now it's up to him to try
to avoid that trap of just being a one hit wonder.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Yep, yep, Okay, Jase two, what's you left on the weekend?
Speaker 4 (09:08):
Let's see, I'm gonna save Caitlin Clark in the fever
for the gentleman. Uh standing to my left because I
want to talk about my Dodgers on Saturday night. Saturday
Night saw Clayton Kershaw pick up the win, had a
very good game. Clayton Kershaw, our hero wins the game.
Shohey Otani hit two home runs to beat the rivals,
(09:32):
and they are rivals. As much as Daniel Jeremiah wants
to not acknowledge this, Dodgers Giants goes back one hundred
and some odd years and we beat them on Saturday Night.
That's what I loved about the weekend. But then it
got better when Bob Nightingale who and I'm talking to
people that follow Dodger news here. We all know that
(09:52):
Bob Nightingale almost never gets news correct about the Dodgers.
It's almost laughable. So on Sunday Notes MLB Notes about
the Dodgers, Bob Nightingale says, the Dodgers don't plan on
having show Otani make his twenty five pitching debut until
after the All Star break, regardless of how well he's
(10:14):
progressing news late last night, shoe Heo Tani will be
starting tonight. So you nailed it again, Bob Nightingale. Thank you.
And by the way, just a quick note, Will Smith
should get more votes than he's going to get for
the MVP and National Leek and it has to do
a show Helo Tani, show Halo Tani. He is a
(10:34):
guy that hogs the DH spot. There is no way
around that. He has to be the DH every night,
so we can't give Will Smith any breaks. The cool
thing about the DH in the National week now is
that the catchers could get breaks, and good hitting catchers
could DH. Will Smith is behind the plate four out
(10:55):
of five nights a week, and he's one of our
most productive hitters. And Shohey being able to pitch and
maybe play some outfield now might give Will Smith a
break behind the plate. So all good news and Dodger land.
Speaker 5 (11:12):
Uh okay, I was him, what do you got well, Jason,
I don't think you should make assumptions. You shouldn't make
assumptions about me, about me because my love of the
weekend is Angel Reese recording her first triple double. Yeah,
Joe up phrase Reese triple double eleven points, eleven assists,
personal record and thirteen me bounds and guys, she's the
(11:34):
second youngest player of all time, second youngest player of
all time record a triple double only to.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Some other person.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
Why do you love it?
Speaker 3 (11:43):
You said you love it? Why do you love it?
Speaker 5 (11:47):
I was just trying to avoid the lowest hanging fruit
out there. I was trying to put you guys on
a little bit.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
So you don't love it.
Speaker 5 (11:55):
It's a different kind of It's just a goof it's
a goof love. I'm trying to avoid talking about Kaitlin Clark.
You just talking about, didn't you, like, like like Sam,
you just assumed I'd take that as my love, and
you and Jason you lay it for me.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Sam, Let me speak for Jason and for Dan. Okay,
and If you guys disagree with me, that's fine. The
issue is sometimes you throw things in or you do
the ans when it's not necessarily the time and the place.
This is the time and the place where you can
actually say, hey, I loved Caitlin Clark's first ever triple
(12:35):
double and here's why, and expound upon that. We're actually
offering that up.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
You mean Angel Reese, Yeah, no, just trying to goof around.
This is a joke.
Speaker 5 (12:44):
Yes, of course, Kaitlyn Clark was awesome everything we hope for.
We covered that thoroughly an hour one. Just give me
a little little shy little level of flowers to Angel
rees thirteen me bounds, eleven assists, eleven points.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
You know she has, as I heard Dan say, she
has trademarked the me bounds thing. What's interesting is they
are actually me bounds because they're correcting her own shot, missus,
thus a me bound. Let's get to what we hated
from the weekend. Change that music. Our resident hater is
none other than Dan. Oh then sorry, Jason Stewart, Chase
do it again.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
I'm not going to change local for this. I'm not
going to change locle. Let's stay at Dodger Stadium. Something
very disturbing happened yesterday. I don't know if either any
of you are familiar with the musical artist Nesa. I
was not before yesterday, and I regret that I am
aware of her today.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
Nesa sparked quite the controversy locally.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Yesterday.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
I'll set this up. Nesa was asked to sing the
national anthem by the Dodgers.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
We all know what that.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
What goes into that, right, You're going to be able
to sing the national anthem at Dodger Stadium for historical
France franchise, in front of potential agents, people that could
could discover you as talent. Singing the national anthem at
Dodger Stadium is different than singing the national anthem in Milwaukee,
and and that's I'm not trying to throw any stones
at Milwaukee.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Nesa.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
I guess it got back to the Dodgers that Nessa
planned to sing the national anthem in Spanish to support
the migrants. Uh, in the wake of the protests from
last week. Nesa was approached by a Dodger representative before
the game and it went like this, So I'm not sure.
(14:49):
So that was a Dodger representative telling Neza that you're
gonna go ahead and sing the song in English because
everybody sings it in English, because nobody I've ever known
or heard of has ever heard it in Spanish. Because
when you go to an American sports game, you hear
the national anthem in English. So we're gonna go ahead
(15:10):
and do that, okay. Neza agrees to do it, and
then proceeds to go on the field and sing the
national anthem in Spanish, and then she decided to go
on social media after she did that.
Speaker 6 (15:24):
All right, bear with me because I'm still I'm very
shooking out and emotional names. Anyways, I just got home
from singing the national anthem in Spanish at the Dodgers game,
and it is the official Star Spangle banner in Spanish.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
You can google it.
Speaker 6 (15:41):
So I'll just read it you really quick. But it
was officially commissioned in nineteen forty five by the US
State Department as a part of President Franklin Roosevelt's Good
Neighbor Policy to foster a better relationship with Latin America.
Because it is I didn't think I would be met
with any sort of like no, especially because we're in
La and with everything happening, and I've sang the national
(16:05):
anthem many times in my life, but there was today,
out of all days, I could not. I'm sorry, Yeah,
I just could not believe when she walked in and
told me no. But I just felt like I needed
to do it.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
B me.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
So if you're tracking this, Neza was told to load
and sing it in English, she went on the field
sing it in Spanish, and then on her social media
she made the Dodgers look like jerks by showing the
video of the representative telling her not to do it,
and by saying that the Dodgers told her no. She
couldn't believe they were told nol. This goes back to
(16:46):
last week and that the Dodgers have not said anything
publicly about the protests. This is a very polarizing political
topic that the Dodgers want nothing to do with, and
Neessa just roped them into having to answer to this.
I think that was a crappy thing to do. I
think that she exposed herself for being a narcissist gen
(17:08):
z Er and now the Dodgers have to respond to
something that they've been trying to stay clear of in
the wake of the George Floyd Riots. In twenty twenty,
there were corporations and teams taking a political stance. I
think Atlanta was taking the All Star Game was taken
away from them. It was shocking that so many people
were taking what they thought was the politically correct stance
(17:30):
at the time. Corporations and teams are not doing that anymore.
There's no reason for the Dodgers to take a stant here.
They don't want to alienate half of their fan base,
and I think that was I just hated what she
did there. She made it about her, and now she's
drawn a corporation into something that they don't belong in.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
I think part of the problem Chase do, if we're
being completely honest, is I know you'd love I don't
think what you're saying is wrong. I do think that
there's a search for being being. How can I be
a victim? Right? Victimhood? But I I also think, and
(18:10):
very strongly, I don't think a younger generation truly understands
what is a right and what is a privilege. Right Like,
you have the right to speak your mind, but when
you're singing the national anthem, that is a privilege offered
to you by the LA Dodgers, and like, it's got
(18:31):
to be really hard for the Dodgers because what percentage
of the fan base do you think is Hispanic.
Speaker 4 (18:39):
Considerable considerate?
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Right? So it's a but again, you just can't. It's
it's paralyzing for the Dodgers, like, we can't take any
side in this thing, and then you represent us by
singing the national anthem. Uh yeah, this is a classic
gen Z moment where she made herself into a victim
when she she received a privilege of seeing the Nash
(19:04):
anthem and she chose to make a political stunt of
it and make herself a new victim. So yeah, I'm
with you on most parts.
Speaker 5 (19:13):
She probably did score a lot of new fans, so
I would imagine. I mean, she took an opportunity, there's
an opportunity there to protest, and she did.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
To me, I can't come back, And they're like, we
never said that, and that's.
Speaker 5 (19:27):
I think that's she made this decision herself. I think
that's that's good from the Dodgers to say that, say
we never said that. We just wish you hadn't done that.
But like to like ban her would just make things
even worse. I think so she took an opportunity. Uh,
you know, tempers are flaring right now around here. Things
are hot. Heads are hot, understand me.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
So Dan Byer, what do you got boy?
Speaker 3 (19:50):
My hate really is gonna bail in comparison to the
last five minutes of this, uh of this program, because
I just really got annoyed with Adam Scheff tweeting about
the US Open and it's it's nothing, It's nothing personal
about Schefter. It's personal about these insiders who have millions
upon millions of followers on their Twitter handle for a
(20:12):
specific reason. And it's not because we find them entertaining.
It's because they provide news that we want to know.
And it's it's the same for Adam Schefter as it
is for Ian Rappoboard, as it is for shams and
just these one off like they're just they're.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Just sent for.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Like engagement, just to rack up numbers because they can
by tweeting like JJ Spawn's winning putt and like what
a putt? And I just feel that you give up
your Twitter rights to tweet anything but NFL information when
you have that many followers, and it is just this
(20:52):
jump on a bandwagon and it's done. In tennis, it's
done in horse racing. It's these moments that they then
try to bandwagon and piggyback off of just for their
own good, and it's it's not meant to be personal.
And I think I probably went really personal with some insiders.
But it just got annoying that when JJ spawn wins,
(21:13):
I get an alert on my phone and it's Adam
Schefter tweeting what a pot I I. And he's not
the only one. But yesterday I said.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
I'm not an insider, and I you know, I think
I tweted what a finish or something that was.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
Yeah, but I'm not. I don't have alerts on for you.
And people want to know your sports opinions. They don't
care about anything Adam Schefter has to say unless it's
about the National Football League.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
That is it.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
That is the reason why he's got ten million followers,
not because Adam Schefter's funny or Adam Schefter has great
opinions on the NBA. That's where his audience is. And
sure there's a huge amount of crossover with his audience
being sports fans, but I just it, I don't know
it's I think it's the Johnny cum lately sort of thing.
It's the you know tweet about you know what, tweet
(22:00):
about the Travelers Championship on Saturday, and then I can
maybe pass your US Open coming up this weekend. Tell
me something that goes on Saturday, and then I'll start
to maybe follow you and take it as more legitimate.
So Dan, in other words, you're saying stay in your
lane a little bit. Yes, yeah, yes, because that lane
is built for him only for the NFL. By the way,
(22:23):
there's a no hitter going on in the College World
Series gage Wood, what a name? No hitter through eight?
Lost a perfect game by beating a Murray State Racer
in the bottom of the eighth inning. But no hitter
going on in Omaha. But my hate was the schefter tweets.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Okay to be Jay Stu. Do we get I mean, Sam,
do we get your hate?
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Not yet?
Speaker 5 (22:44):
I'll make it quick here. You know, listen, most people
don't like Mondays. They loathe Mondays. I'm feeling like Garfield today.
I hate Monday's early hate this Monday. I might live
on the noisiest, culdest hack that's ever existed.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Dan.
Speaker 5 (22:59):
Dan is also a cold the sack resider, but mine's
like mostly apartment buildings, and they've been like renovating this
one apartment building across the cul de Sac for what's
probably going on a year now. There's nothing worse than
just getting really low quality sleep. Maybe I need to
sleep number bed, Doug, but getting low quality sleep. And
then at like six fifteen in the morning, you start
hearing construction starting and you're just waking up and you're
(23:22):
like dah, and then you know it's super hot out already,
it's gonna be hot today and it was hot walking in.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
So I'm just over this Monday. I'm over it. I'm
over it, Doug. I'm Garfield in the case of the Mondays, Okay, grumpy,
I have I.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Have just I have just one and I'm gonna I
I'm gonna borrow it from jay Stu. Okay, because jay
Stu's like, have you seen this Roe Faeld Devers story?
And like fill me in? So he's gonna show me in.
So I'm like, all right, So I printed out a
couple of stories to start reading it. So let's get
this straight. Roe Faield Devers with the Red Sox, right,
(24:01):
huge deal, and he gets traded over the weekend to
the San Francisco Giants. So Devers only wanted a DH, right,
that's all you want to do is DH, And because
of injury, they asked him play first base. He's like nah, nah.
(24:22):
He gets traded to the San Francisco Giants and when
asked about what position he'll play, his response was wherever
I'm needed, as long as we want to win. I
just want to win. So you're with the Red Sox,
great organization, Paige it offered. I mean, the contract's over
three hundred million dollars for over a decade. And when
(24:43):
asked to switch positions, the answer was no to another franchise.
And all of a sudden, now you're open to playing
wherever because you just want to win. Did the Red
Sox do you so wrong when they offered you that
gigantic contract? And I love this allergy. It's the you know,
(25:03):
anyone who's ever been in a relationship, and there's just
things that you just like, I don't do that in
this relationship, like they don't do it, and then all
of a sudden theyre in a different relationship. For example,
you could have a woman who's like, I don't drink coffee.
I hate coffee. I don't like the smell. It makes
a mess. It's everywhere. I just got into it, right,
(25:26):
And then you know you're out and about. You got
your new girl. She's got her new guy, and you
see him out and they're at a coffee shop and
what is she ordering but coffee? Why? Wow? You know
he's into it. So I kind of got into it.
Same thing with Roe Field Devers, right, like you won't
play first base for the Red Sox, but you'll play
anywhere for the San Francisco Giants. I hate that. I
hate that, so thank you Jay stew for telling about
(25:51):
that story. And I can't stand that mentality of Rod
Field Evers, and that is love it hate.

prediction games go, we are the worst. We're the worst.
(26:33):
I mean the fact that the guy Jjspond let it
from start to finish obviously lost in some in between.
But I just, you know, I just asked, Dan. I mean, like,
I did very little research into jjspawn because he was
leading at the end of the first day and I
was like, ah, what's the chances? So this is a
my bad to Jjspawd because I said he was like
(26:55):
the guy at the beginning of a horror movie, never
gonna make it, forget about to the end of the movie,
even to the second scene oops. Oops. But as finishes go,
that was pretty awesome. I guess here's my question you Dan.
It's I always struggle with people who are in the
(27:19):
media who haven't played sports, and you know, most have
played sports at some level, but haven't played sports at
a high level. Who you make an absolute about something?
Is it choker or he's clutch? And JJ Spond's a
perfect example. And in one round, right, you can't have
bogies on was it four of your first five holes
and the other one he didn't have bogi was that
(27:41):
you know he part of of par five wasn't like
you know, so he was clearly tight and the course
was very difficult, but clearly tight to start today. And
yet at the end, you know he finishes the birdies
in the last two holes. Well that's clutch. Well, which
is it? Is he a choker? Is he Clutch's like, well, that's.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
Kind of golf, right, Yes, it's just yes, go.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
But to not completely sink when you do bogie for
your first five holes and you had led at the
end of the first day and you're like watching it
all slip away, to kind of get your balance and
get your game together, I think that's pretty special stuff.
But I thought yesterday was the perfect embodiment of like,
don't call the guy. We've done this in sports all
the time. He's a joker. And also they were like,
(28:24):
now he's clutch. Well, like, no, he's the same human being,
same being.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
There's a lot there, Doug. And it also sheds light
on what made Tiger would so great. Yet there were
some who would want to criticize Tiger and be like, yeah, well,
he hasn't come from behind to win a major, like
all of his major wins were front running, Like okay,
so you want him to stink the first three days yes,
so then you want him to shoot sixty four on
Sunday to prove his greatness. Like it's it's absurd to
(28:54):
think that. I think our reasoning and the reasoning that
we had on Friday. And it's funny because I remember
interview JJ Spawn on this network years ago at Tory
Pines prior to you coming over, Doug, and I even
tried to like get JJ spawn to like for us
to like be his fan group. And then he never
responded to any of our tweets, so that just kind
(29:15):
of died down. But there was there was an effort
to have our guy JJ Spawn, and he even admitted
in his press conference yesterday not that he ignored our tweets,
but he had thought about giving up the game, so
he had thought about maybe not being a professional golfer anymore.
Yet goes and has those miraculous final two holes. While
(29:35):
Sam Burns, who was a young talent knocking on the door,
was in a playoff last week in Canada at the
RBC Canadian Open, he goes out and shoots seventy eight.
Adam Scott the only player with a major really in
the final groups that were in contention on Sunday, he
goes out and shoots seventy nine, Like it's it's it's crazy.
(29:57):
I don't want to say it happens to everyone, but
what happened to JJ Spawn yesterday and what he did
could have been any of those players in that group
and vice versa. From what we said, it wasn't that
it was an attack on JJ Spawn on Friday. We
were just talking in generalities of sometimes the moment becomes
(30:18):
too big, where the pressure is too big. Carlos Ortiz,
it plays on the Live Tour, he shoots seventy three
in comparison to seventy eight and seventy nine. Not a
bad score, but you're not saying I got to go
into the final round and shoot three over par, you know.
So it's just, yeah, it's just one of those.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
And you also have to like calculate in your brain,
like the scores at Oakmont are not the golf scorers
of any other place, Like, well, he shot at seventy
three or he shot a seventy eight, Like yeah, but again,
this is like it's like the curve on a on
a really really hard test, Like what was the best
score yesterday?
Speaker 3 (30:53):
Sixty seven?
Speaker 1 (30:54):
Right, here's an honest question to you, Dan, and I
is something that Rory said, I think on Friday. I
think it was on Friday where it's like where the
quote that got picked up was, you know, when you
didn't when you don't necessarily want to be here over
(31:14):
the weekend, sometimes it's easier to you know, to play
free and to come back, you know, and get yourself
back into play. And so some people took other as
like Ry doesn't want to be here, whereas what I
took it as is like sometimes when you're behind and
you just stop, you just you don't care, like, yeah,
that's the one time in which you can really score, well,
you can really score poorly as well, but you know,
(31:36):
it's just the art of not giving an f yes.
So this is going back to the Tiger thing. Is
it harder to make up strokes coming from behind when
the leaders come back to you, or to be Tiger
Woods where he knew when he had these leads that
he was just slow and steady wins the race and
let everybody else take those chances and fall apart. What's
a hard What's what's more difficult?
Speaker 3 (31:56):
Well, I think it's difficult being Tiger Woods. And that's
like we actually looked at that as something that is commonplace,
and we just completely took it for granted. And I
even said on my Sunday show yesterday, there was a
point during the PGA Championship where John Rahm caught Scotti Scheffler,
but Scheffler had nine more holes to play, there were
(32:19):
birdie holes. He ends up separating himself. It's the exact
opposite of the US Open. You post a score and
then like there was a point where you're like, okay,
Adam Scott and Sam Burns now need birdies on You're like, well,
that's never gonna happen. Like you have to survive to
the end. So just that's what Spawn did and posting
(32:39):
a number a lot of times at the US Open,
We'll get you to the finish line. I remember vividly
Web Simpson when he won in twenty twelve at Olympic.
I was at Olympic. I didn't see a shot he
hit all day and he ends up being the US
Open champ. I was following Jim Fiorick and gram McDowell
because those were the two players that were in contention,
and Slow instead he won the race. For gram mc donald,
(33:00):
that for Web Simpson at that point. But yeah, I
think we underestimate the greatness of Tiger II when we
see all these moments happen.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
Let's let's Dan, Dan, there's some breaking news in the
world of sports. Here's Dampire.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
Breaking news from Fox Sports.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
We have a no hitter at the College World Series,
gage Wood of the Arkansas Razorbacks. No perfect game, but
no hitter. Arkansas tops Murray State by a score of
three to nothing. It was an elimination game and Arkansas survives.
But gage Wood is the hero and no hitter. Arkansas
(33:41):
tops SU Murray State today by a score of three
to nothing. I believe it's the third no hitter in
College World Series history. So the third no hitter at
the College World Series belongs to Gage Wood of the
Arkansas Razorbacks.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Doug
Gottlieb Show weekdays at three pm Eastern noon Pacific on

the press, Hey Dan Tyrak. For forty years, Tyrec's been
helping customers on the right tires for how what where
they drive ship fast and free back by free Road
(34:51):
has protection with convenient installation options like Mobi Tire Installation,
tire dot Com. We tire buying should be Denny. What
do you have my friend?
Speaker 3 (35:00):
Maybe his name is only better than the performance Gage Wood.
We just brought you the breaking news a no hitter
at the College World Series. It becomes the third no
hitter in College World Series history. He had nineteen strikeouts
today in the three nothing win over Murray State. Here's
how it sounded on ESPN two. So our goods saw
(35:30):
stays alive winning that elimination game. But for Wood history,
I mentioned the third no hitter in men's College World
Series history. It's the first since nineteen sixty so wow. Yes,
it's been a wow, but it happened today. In all
its awesome, there was also some controversy as well. So
(35:51):
what about a perfect game? Except he beamed a batter.
In fact, he beamed two, but one of them was
overruled on reviewing the ninth inning. I didn't catch the
review because we were talking on the air at that point,
but the call of awarding the batter first base was overturned.
I don't know if he leaned into the pitch or
it was in the strike zone, but anyway, it wouldn't
have mattered because the perfect game was already lost. But
(36:13):
a nineteen strikeout no hitter today for gauge would?
Speaker 1 (36:19):
I love the College World Series. I love Actually that
it was in an elimination game makes it even more money.
And though I'm not into the no hitters, like you know,
we talked about this no hitters in Major League Baseball,
I no hitter in a College World Series, in elimination game.
It's pretty spectacular.
Speaker 3 (36:34):
I was waiting for Sam's nineteen gauge joke, but it
never came about the twelve Gauge then gets a gun joke.
Oh yeah, I was firing. Yes, I don't even own
a gun. Yes didn't it didn't happen.
Speaker 1 (36:47):
Doesn't doesn't stop you from making a bad joke.
Speaker 3 (36:50):
I let Dan do that. Oh, that was actually a
pretty good rip. I'll accept that one, all right, Doug.
Game five of the Finals tonight, we will have starting
lineups as part of the something that had happened in
twelve years.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
I understand, But how did it become a thing that
people suddenly cared about something that nobody realized was gone
for the last twelve years.
Speaker 3 (37:09):
So I think it's like the barstool effect. Big Cat
says something we're missing all this stuff, it ends up
being run with, and then all of a sudden it
needs to respond, or the NBA feels the need to respond.
The court stuff, I get, the starting lineup stuff. It's
funny because starting lineups were so much a part of
(37:29):
our childhood. I mean, the bulls like starting intro is
something that was great. I think that a love story
line up for your Yeah, like, I think that should
be something the NBA should lean into. But they're not.
Speaker 1 (37:42):
The line is uh. Oklahoma se is a nine and
a half point favorite, nine half pint favorite.
Speaker 3 (37:51):
I like not Surprise, I like I like Oklahoma City.
I do as well and enjoy Chestnut's going to be
back eating hot dogs on the fourth of July and
Coney Island announcing today he'll return to the event that
he did not take part in last year.
Speaker 1 (38:08):
Yeah, didn't he? What was it over? It was over
some sponsorship deal.
Speaker 3 (38:12):
Right, Yeah, there was a yeah, there was and he
was part of.
Speaker 1 (38:16):
He go to the live tour of Eating Is that
what he did?
Speaker 3 (38:19):
He had his own there was his own pay per
view that went on or something of that essence. But
it's gonna be on Cavino and Rich later on today
in Fox Sports Radio. There you go, and that's game song. No,
that's the press that get out there and pressed.
Speaker 2 (38:32):

Speaker 1 (38:34):
You know that. Covino Rich, great great, great content. We

eat it up. We'll beat to tonight's NBA Finals tomorrow

twelve two Pacific on Fox Sports Radio. Find your local

or stream us live every day on the iHeartRadio app
by searching appsal what about you, Doug Gottlieb Show. Fox
Sports Radio got out standing second hour of the show
(00:22):
for you. Got a little love and hate. Uh, I'm
gonna have to eat my words. Got the press. We'll
make our predictions on tonight's Game five of the NBA Finals.
Maybe we'll look back a little bit at the weekend. Also,
(00:46):
you got Dodgers padres tonight. Oh oh oh. We do
this every Monday. It's just a great way for us
to kind of sometimes humble brag about things we did,
sometimes get off our chest, things that ticked us off,
(01:06):
and talk about all the different sporting events that are
going on. Remember over the weekend, if you're if you're
in our chair or chairs right, it's like Jase Stu
told me, it's like there's just a I don't I'm
not going to quote you verbatim, but it's like cornucopia
of topics that you could get to. Right. There's there's
the Raphael Dever's trade, there's the there's the you know
(01:32):
trade between Memphis and Orlando in the NBA. And then
in terms of game action, if you're into Big Three,
shocker here Dwight Howard and Lan Stevenson got into it.
I know, I know, you're so surprised or you actually
don't care. You have NBA stuff, yes, some NFL stuff,
and of course you have NHL we haven't talked about yet.
(01:54):
So there's a myriad of potential topics and the best
way to encapsulate all because we all come out from
a different perspect right. Dan works on the weekend. Sam
works on the weekend some but also stalks Kaitlin Clark
a little bit. And you know, as we've been told,
Jay stew in his palatial state out and Santa Clarita
(02:17):
goes on these epic hikes, but canceled the hike on
Saturday so we could watch Kaitlin Clark. What do we
do this weekend? What are we into? What are we
not into? Let's get to it. Love and hate?
Speaker 2 (02:27):
What did you love?
Speaker 1 (02:28):
God? I love you? And what did you hate?
Speaker 3 (02:31):
These Claire Hays, Hey.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
It's the Doug Gottlieb Show, Fox Sports Tradio. What we love,
What do we hate? I've said this a million times
and I'll say it one more. I love road wins.
We've had now in the NBA Finals, two road wins,
and there is nothing more rewarding, nothing more thrilling, nothing
(02:58):
more memorable, at least the basketball player now basketball coach
and me. Then winning on the road, it literally feels
like it's you against the world. And in taking case
in point with the Pacers, everyone's wearing yellow except for
you have like a little handful, a little pocket of
(03:18):
fans usually there you know, wives and girlfriends and some executives.
Outside of that, literally everybody in the building wants to
see you lose, wants to see you fail. So the
silence of those final moments when you're gonna win and
a cord to the people are leaving early and whatever
and they stop talking. It's like the greatest Oklahoma city
(03:39):
winning on the road, coming from behind the way that
the Pacers had come from behind against so many previous teams,
including the Thunder in Game one, was remarkable. And I'm
not I like the Thunder I really really like the
Thunder and how they do things. But I'm not like
(03:59):
a Thunder guy. I'm not in the bag for the Thunder. Still,
it made me want to be in that locker. It
made me want to say, like, how cool is this
a road win in the NBA Finals against a ROCKUS
atmosphere Pat McAfee, Kerse SINATCYA. It was. It was great
road win. I'm all for Thunder road win to right
(04:20):
right right side the series even better. That's what I
left from the weekend, Dan Byer, would you love for
the weekend?
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Doug? Just out of curiosity, did you try to go
to Game five tonight?
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Yeah, okay. I figured this is, you know, right in
that wheelhouse, like it's a must game. Everybody wants to
get a ticket, trying to get a ticket. And but
I thought myself also, Doug, I guess in a way,
I love to be proven wrong. I don't know if
this is what you're getting at, but I loved everything
about the US Open, even if I said on Friday
(04:55):
that it was more likely that JJ spawn would finish
out of the top ten then actually win the tur
and he actually won the tournament.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Listen, you're not as bad as me. Okay, I did
a rant on the podcast only part of this show,
which you can download subscribe rate to listen to, where
I said that the guy who leads the relative no
name or no name that leads a major at the
end of the first day is like the guy you
see in the first scene in a horror movie. He
(05:23):
never makes it to the end of the movie. Right, Yeah,
I'm with you. I'm with you.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Well jj smawn. During that rain delay even changed shirts,
which I thought was great. And if you'll notice in
the highlights, he made this mention last night and speaking
that they had the rain delay at Oakmont, but you'll
notice that his back nine highlights are in a different
shirt than when he shot forty on the front nine,
(05:48):
and that ended up changing everything. Said that the rain
delay really helped him. It had everything that I wanted
a US open to be, not only these pat yesterday,
but those past four days prior to that. And even
when the rain came in and really softened the course,
it just made it difficult in other ways, which was
(06:11):
awesome to see. And now you're used to lightning quick
greens here and there, now you've got wet rough standing
water in some places, which I know Sam Burns isn't
happy about, but it made it a test. It was
awesome to watch over the four days and to see
the guys who made the shots at the end be rewarded,
Robert McIntyre and JJ Spawn being the two foremost likely.
(06:35):
It was awesome to watch. So a great US opening
the books at Oakmond.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Hey, can I offer you a hypothesis? Sure, okay, restrict
your plate racing in NASCAR? Now, yes, look to the
to the fan they talked about restrictor plate racing. The
design was to slow them down, to make the cars
(06:59):
so that they was greater, so you had less cars
going up in the air crashing and the opportunity to
anybody dying. Right, That was the idea. But recidi plate
racing really, what it does is it clumps all the
cars together artificially, creating these unbelievable finishes because so many
are within arms distance of each other. To have it
(07:20):
make a move at the end of winter race, is
that fair?
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Yeah, okay, I feel like that's the idea of the
US open like where the initial thing a lot like
the downforce is the reason and slowing them down in
safety is the thing with Nascar. I think what the
what the USGA says is, hey, we want the best,
the hardest test of golf. We want to make this
(07:44):
the hardest test of golf. Like, Okay, I mean you
could have dudes, you know. I mean you could have
booby traps and people falling into pits and could be harder.
But the point is that I think that because it's
so difficult, and because par is plenty good enough, it
keeps them all. That's why that leaderboard yesterday for the
(08:07):
last two hours was like a turnstyle. You're like, wait,
who's in first nowt or whatever? And I don't. I
kind of think it's by design. It keeps them all
kind of clumped together and gives you a much more
likely to be close finish than if you just or
naturally said, hey, go play like the PGA, go play
(08:27):
at the British Open. I don't know what the reality
is and how close all these finishes are, but that
was my thought when I was watching it.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
I think that there's truth to that much bigger topic
and probably for another time, but it's also sometimes why
you will get a random US Open winner. Now it's
gonna be up to JJ Spahn to find out if
he is the random winner or if there is more
to come because the season's been great. Lost in the
playoff at the Players another huge event, Well I'm not
a major, probably the biggest event that isn't a major
(08:57):
on tour. So now it's up to him to try
to avoid that trap of just being a one hit wonder.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Yep, yep, Okay, Jase two, what's you left on the weekend?
Speaker 4 (09:08):
Let's see, I'm gonna save Caitlin Clark in the fever
for the gentleman. Uh standing to my left because I
want to talk about my Dodgers on Saturday night. Saturday
Night saw Clayton Kershaw pick up the win, had a
very good game. Clayton Kershaw, our hero wins the game.
Shohey Otani hit two home runs to beat the rivals,
(09:32):
and they are rivals. As much as Daniel Jeremiah wants
to not acknowledge this, Dodgers Giants goes back one hundred
and some odd years and we beat them on Saturday Night.
That's what I loved about the weekend. But then it
got better when Bob Nightingale who and I'm talking to
people that follow Dodger news here. We all know that
(09:52):
Bob Nightingale almost never gets news correct about the Dodgers.
It's almost laughable. So on Sunday Notes MLB Notes about
the Dodgers, Bob Nightingale says, the Dodgers don't plan on
having show Otani make his twenty five pitching debut until
after the All Star break, regardless of how well he's
(10:14):
progressing news late last night, shoe Heo Tani will be
starting tonight. So you nailed it again, Bob Nightingale. Thank you.
And by the way, just a quick note, Will Smith
should get more votes than he's going to get for
the MVP and National Leek and it has to do
a show Helo Tani, show Halo Tani. He is a
(10:34):
guy that hogs the DH spot. There is no way
around that. He has to be the DH every night,
so we can't give Will Smith any breaks. The cool
thing about the DH in the National week now is
that the catchers could get breaks, and good hitting catchers
could DH. Will Smith is behind the plate four out
(10:55):
of five nights a week, and he's one of our
most productive hitters. And Shohey being able to pitch and
maybe play some outfield now might give Will Smith a
break behind the plate. So all good news and Dodger land.
Speaker 5 (11:12):
Uh okay, I was him, what do you got well, Jason,
I don't think you should make assumptions. You shouldn't make
assumptions about me, about me because my love of the
weekend is Angel Reese recording her first triple double. Yeah,
Joe up phrase Reese triple double eleven points, eleven assists,
personal record and thirteen me bounds and guys, she's the
(11:34):
second youngest player of all time, second youngest player of
all time record a triple double only to.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Some other person.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
Why do you love it?
Speaker 3 (11:43):
You said you love it? Why do you love it?
Speaker 5 (11:47):
I was just trying to avoid the lowest hanging fruit
out there. I was trying to put you guys on
a little bit.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
So you don't love it.
Speaker 5 (11:55):
It's a different kind of It's just a goof it's
a goof love. I'm trying to avoid talking about Kaitlin Clark.
You just talking about, didn't you, like, like like Sam,
you just assumed I'd take that as my love, and
you and Jason you lay it for me.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Sam, Let me speak for Jason and for Dan. Okay,
and If you guys disagree with me, that's fine. The
issue is sometimes you throw things in or you do
the ans when it's not necessarily the time and the place.
This is the time and the place where you can
actually say, hey, I loved Caitlin Clark's first ever triple
(12:35):
double and here's why, and expound upon that. We're actually
offering that up.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
You mean Angel Reese, Yeah, no, just trying to goof around.
This is a joke.
Speaker 5 (12:44):
Yes, of course, Kaitlyn Clark was awesome everything we hope for.
We covered that thoroughly an hour one. Just give me
a little little shy little level of flowers to Angel
rees thirteen me bounds, eleven assists, eleven points.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
You know she has, as I heard Dan say, she
has trademarked the me bounds thing. What's interesting is they
are actually me bounds because they're correcting her own shot, missus,
thus a me bound. Let's get to what we hated
from the weekend. Change that music. Our resident hater is
none other than Dan. Oh then sorry, Jason Stewart, Chase
do it again.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
I'm not going to change local for this. I'm not
going to change locle. Let's stay at Dodger Stadium. Something
very disturbing happened yesterday. I don't know if either any
of you are familiar with the musical artist Nesa. I
was not before yesterday, and I regret that I am
aware of her today.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
Nesa sparked quite the controversy locally.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Yesterday.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
I'll set this up. Nesa was asked to sing the
national anthem by the Dodgers.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
We all know what that.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
What goes into that, right, You're going to be able
to sing the national anthem at Dodger Stadium for historical
France franchise, in front of potential agents, people that could
could discover you as talent. Singing the national anthem at
Dodger Stadium is different than singing the national anthem in Milwaukee,
and and that's I'm not trying to throw any stones
at Milwaukee.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Nesa.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
I guess it got back to the Dodgers that Nessa
planned to sing the national anthem in Spanish to support
the migrants. Uh, in the wake of the protests from
last week. Nesa was approached by a Dodger representative before
the game and it went like this, So I'm not sure.
(14:49):
So that was a Dodger representative telling Neza that you're
gonna go ahead and sing the song in English because
everybody sings it in English, because nobody I've ever known
or heard of has ever heard it in Spanish. Because
when you go to an American sports game, you hear
the national anthem in English. So we're gonna go ahead
(15:10):
and do that, okay. Neza agrees to do it, and
then proceeds to go on the field and sing the
national anthem in Spanish, and then she decided to go
on social media after she did that.
Speaker 6 (15:24):
All right, bear with me because I'm still I'm very
shooking out and emotional names. Anyways, I just got home
from singing the national anthem in Spanish at the Dodgers game,
and it is the official Star Spangle banner in Spanish.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
You can google it.
Speaker 6 (15:41):
So I'll just read it you really quick. But it
was officially commissioned in nineteen forty five by the US
State Department as a part of President Franklin Roosevelt's Good
Neighbor Policy to foster a better relationship with Latin America.
Because it is I didn't think I would be met
with any sort of like no, especially because we're in
La and with everything happening, and I've sang the national
(16:05):
anthem many times in my life, but there was today,
out of all days, I could not. I'm sorry, Yeah,
I just could not believe when she walked in and
told me no. But I just felt like I needed
to do it.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
B me.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
So if you're tracking this, Neza was told to load
and sing it in English, she went on the field
sing it in Spanish, and then on her social media
she made the Dodgers look like jerks by showing the
video of the representative telling her not to do it,
and by saying that the Dodgers told her no. She
couldn't believe they were told nol. This goes back to
(16:46):
last week and that the Dodgers have not said anything
publicly about the protests. This is a very polarizing political
topic that the Dodgers want nothing to do with, and
Neessa just roped them into having to answer to this.
I think that was a crappy thing to do. I
think that she exposed herself for being a narcissist gen
(17:08):
z Er and now the Dodgers have to respond to
something that they've been trying to stay clear of in
the wake of the George Floyd Riots. In twenty twenty,
there were corporations and teams taking a political stance. I
think Atlanta was taking the All Star Game was taken
away from them. It was shocking that so many people
were taking what they thought was the politically correct stance
(17:30):
at the time. Corporations and teams are not doing that anymore.
There's no reason for the Dodgers to take a stant here.
They don't want to alienate half of their fan base,
and I think that was I just hated what she
did there. She made it about her, and now she's
drawn a corporation into something that they don't belong in.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
I think part of the problem Chase do, if we're
being completely honest, is I know you'd love I don't
think what you're saying is wrong. I do think that
there's a search for being being. How can I be
a victim? Right? Victimhood? But I I also think, and
(18:10):
very strongly, I don't think a younger generation truly understands
what is a right and what is a privilege. Right Like,
you have the right to speak your mind, but when
you're singing the national anthem, that is a privilege offered
to you by the LA Dodgers, and like, it's got
(18:31):
to be really hard for the Dodgers because what percentage
of the fan base do you think is Hispanic.
Speaker 4 (18:39):
Considerable considerate?
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Right? So it's a but again, you just can't. It's
it's paralyzing for the Dodgers, like, we can't take any
side in this thing, and then you represent us by
singing the national anthem. Uh yeah, this is a classic
gen Z moment where she made herself into a victim
when she she received a privilege of seeing the Nash
(19:04):
anthem and she chose to make a political stunt of
it and make herself a new victim. So yeah, I'm
with you on most parts.
Speaker 5 (19:13):
She probably did score a lot of new fans, so
I would imagine. I mean, she took an opportunity, there's
an opportunity there to protest, and she did.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
To me, I can't come back, And they're like, we
never said that, and that's.
Speaker 5 (19:27):
I think that's she made this decision herself. I think
that's that's good from the Dodgers to say that, say
we never said that. We just wish you hadn't done that.
But like to like ban her would just make things
even worse. I think so she took an opportunity. Uh,
you know, tempers are flaring right now around here. Things
are hot. Heads are hot, understand me.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
So Dan Byer, what do you got boy?
Speaker 3 (19:50):
My hate really is gonna bail in comparison to the
last five minutes of this, uh of this program, because
I just really got annoyed with Adam Scheff tweeting about
the US Open and it's it's nothing, It's nothing personal
about Schefter. It's personal about these insiders who have millions
upon millions of followers on their Twitter handle for a
(20:12):
specific reason. And it's not because we find them entertaining.
It's because they provide news that we want to know.
And it's it's the same for Adam Schefter as it
is for Ian Rappoboard, as it is for shams and
just these one off like they're just they're.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Just sent for.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Like engagement, just to rack up numbers because they can
by tweeting like JJ Spawn's winning putt and like what
a putt? And I just feel that you give up
your Twitter rights to tweet anything but NFL information when
you have that many followers, and it is just this
(20:52):
jump on a bandwagon and it's done. In tennis, it's
done in horse racing. It's these moments that they then
try to bandwagon and piggyback off of just for their
own good, and it's it's not meant to be personal.
And I think I probably went really personal with some insiders.
But it just got annoying that when JJ spawn wins,
(21:13):
I get an alert on my phone and it's Adam
Schefter tweeting what a pot I I. And he's not
the only one. But yesterday I said.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
I'm not an insider, and I you know, I think
I tweted what a finish or something that was.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
Yeah, but I'm not. I don't have alerts on for you.
And people want to know your sports opinions. They don't
care about anything Adam Schefter has to say unless it's
about the National Football League.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
That is it.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
That is the reason why he's got ten million followers,
not because Adam Schefter's funny or Adam Schefter has great
opinions on the NBA. That's where his audience is. And
sure there's a huge amount of crossover with his audience
being sports fans, but I just it, I don't know
it's I think it's the Johnny cum lately sort of thing.
It's the you know tweet about you know what, tweet
(22:00):
about the Travelers Championship on Saturday, and then I can
maybe pass your US Open coming up this weekend. Tell
me something that goes on Saturday, and then I'll start
to maybe follow you and take it as more legitimate.
So Dan, in other words, you're saying stay in your
lane a little bit. Yes, yeah, yes, because that lane
is built for him only for the NFL. By the way,
(22:23):
there's a no hitter going on in the College World
Series gage Wood, what a name? No hitter through eight?
Lost a perfect game by beating a Murray State Racer
in the bottom of the eighth inning. But no hitter
going on in Omaha. But my hate was the schefter tweets.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Okay to be Jay Stu. Do we get I mean, Sam,
do we get your hate?
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Not yet?
Speaker 5 (22:44):
I'll make it quick here. You know, listen, most people
don't like Mondays. They loathe Mondays. I'm feeling like Garfield today.
I hate Monday's early hate this Monday. I might live
on the noisiest, culdest hack that's ever existed.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Dan.
Speaker 5 (22:59):
Dan is also a cold the sack resider, but mine's
like mostly apartment buildings, and they've been like renovating this
one apartment building across the cul de Sac for what's
probably going on a year now. There's nothing worse than
just getting really low quality sleep. Maybe I need to
sleep number bed, Doug, but getting low quality sleep. And
then at like six fifteen in the morning, you start
hearing construction starting and you're just waking up and you're
(23:22):
like dah, and then you know it's super hot out already,
it's gonna be hot today and it was hot walking in.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
So I'm just over this Monday. I'm over it. I'm
over it, Doug. I'm Garfield in the case of the Mondays, Okay, grumpy,
I have I.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Have just I have just one and I'm gonna I
I'm gonna borrow it from jay Stu. Okay, because jay
Stu's like, have you seen this Roe Faeld Devers story?
And like fill me in? So he's gonna show me in.
So I'm like, all right, So I printed out a
couple of stories to start reading it. So let's get
this straight. Roe Faield Devers with the Red Sox, right,
(24:01):
huge deal, and he gets traded over the weekend to
the San Francisco Giants. So Devers only wanted a DH, right,
that's all you want to do is DH, And because
of injury, they asked him play first base. He's like nah, nah.
(24:22):
He gets traded to the San Francisco Giants and when
asked about what position he'll play, his response was wherever
I'm needed, as long as we want to win. I
just want to win. So you're with the Red Sox,
great organization, Paige it offered. I mean, the contract's over
three hundred million dollars for over a decade. And when
(24:43):
asked to switch positions, the answer was no to another franchise.
And all of a sudden, now you're open to playing
wherever because you just want to win. Did the Red
Sox do you so wrong when they offered you that
gigantic contract? And I love this allergy. It's the you know,
(25:03):
anyone who's ever been in a relationship, and there's just
things that you just like, I don't do that in
this relationship, like they don't do it, and then all
of a sudden theyre in a different relationship. For example,
you could have a woman who's like, I don't drink coffee.
I hate coffee. I don't like the smell. It makes
a mess. It's everywhere. I just got into it, right,
(25:26):
And then you know you're out and about. You got
your new girl. She's got her new guy, and you
see him out and they're at a coffee shop and
what is she ordering but coffee? Why? Wow? You know
he's into it. So I kind of got into it.
Same thing with Roe Field Devers, right, like you won't
play first base for the Red Sox, but you'll play
anywhere for the San Francisco Giants. I hate that. I
hate that, so thank you Jay stew for telling about
(25:51):
that story. And I can't stand that mentality of Rod
Field Evers, and that is love it hate.

podcast and Doug Gottlieber you get your podcast dude as
prediction games go, we are the worst. We're the worst.
(26:33):
I mean the fact that the guy Jjspond let it
from start to finish obviously lost in some in between.
But I just, you know, I just asked, Dan. I mean, like,
I did very little research into jjspawn because he was
leading at the end of the first day and I
was like, ah, what's the chances? So this is a
my bad to Jjspawd because I said he was like
(26:55):
the guy at the beginning of a horror movie, never
gonna make it, forget about to the end of the movie,
even to the second scene oops. Oops. But as finishes go,
that was pretty awesome. I guess here's my question you Dan.
It's I always struggle with people who are in the
(27:19):
media who haven't played sports, and you know, most have
played sports at some level, but haven't played sports at
a high level. Who you make an absolute about something?
Is it choker or he's clutch? And JJ Spond's a
perfect example. And in one round, right, you can't have
bogies on was it four of your first five holes
and the other one he didn't have bogi was that
(27:41):
you know he part of of par five wasn't like
you know, so he was clearly tight and the course
was very difficult, but clearly tight to start today. And
yet at the end, you know he finishes the birdies
in the last two holes. Well that's clutch. Well, which
is it? Is he a choker? Is he Clutch's like, well, that's.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
Kind of golf, right, Yes, it's just yes, go.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
But to not completely sink when you do bogie for
your first five holes and you had led at the
end of the first day and you're like watching it
all slip away, to kind of get your balance and
get your game together, I think that's pretty special stuff.
But I thought yesterday was the perfect embodiment of like,
don't call the guy. We've done this in sports all
the time. He's a joker. And also they were like,
(28:24):
now he's clutch. Well, like, no, he's the same human being,
same being.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
There's a lot there, Doug. And it also sheds light
on what made Tiger would so great. Yet there were
some who would want to criticize Tiger and be like, yeah, well,
he hasn't come from behind to win a major, like
all of his major wins were front running, Like okay,
so you want him to stink the first three days yes,
so then you want him to shoot sixty four on
Sunday to prove his greatness. Like it's it's absurd to
(28:54):
think that. I think our reasoning and the reasoning that
we had on Friday. And it's funny because I remember
interview JJ Spawn on this network years ago at Tory
Pines prior to you coming over, Doug, and I even
tried to like get JJ spawn to like for us
to like be his fan group. And then he never
responded to any of our tweets, so that just kind
(29:15):
of died down. But there was there was an effort
to have our guy JJ Spawn, and he even admitted
in his press conference yesterday not that he ignored our tweets,
but he had thought about giving up the game, so
he had thought about maybe not being a professional golfer anymore.
Yet goes and has those miraculous final two holes. While
(29:35):
Sam Burns, who was a young talent knocking on the door,
was in a playoff last week in Canada at the
RBC Canadian Open, he goes out and shoots seventy eight.
Adam Scott the only player with a major really in
the final groups that were in contention on Sunday, he
goes out and shoots seventy nine, Like it's it's it's crazy.
(29:57):
I don't want to say it happens to everyone, but
what happened to JJ Spawn yesterday and what he did
could have been any of those players in that group
and vice versa. From what we said, it wasn't that
it was an attack on JJ Spawn on Friday. We
were just talking in generalities of sometimes the moment becomes
(30:18):
too big, where the pressure is too big. Carlos Ortiz,
it plays on the Live Tour, he shoots seventy three
in comparison to seventy eight and seventy nine. Not a
bad score, but you're not saying I got to go
into the final round and shoot three over par, you know.
So it's just, yeah, it's just one of those.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
And you also have to like calculate in your brain,
like the scores at Oakmont are not the golf scorers
of any other place, Like, well, he shot at seventy
three or he shot a seventy eight, Like yeah, but again,
this is like it's like the curve on a on
a really really hard test, Like what was the best
score yesterday?
Speaker 3 (30:53):
Sixty seven?
Speaker 1 (30:54):
Right, here's an honest question to you, Dan, and I
is something that Rory said, I think on Friday. I
think it was on Friday where it's like where the
quote that got picked up was, you know, when you
didn't when you don't necessarily want to be here over
(31:14):
the weekend, sometimes it's easier to you know, to play
free and to come back, you know, and get yourself
back into play. And so some people took other as
like Ry doesn't want to be here, whereas what I
took it as is like sometimes when you're behind and
you just stop, you just you don't care, like, yeah,
that's the one time in which you can really score, well,
you can really score poorly as well, but you know,
(31:36):
it's just the art of not giving an f yes.
So this is going back to the Tiger thing. Is
it harder to make up strokes coming from behind when
the leaders come back to you, or to be Tiger
Woods where he knew when he had these leads that
he was just slow and steady wins the race and
let everybody else take those chances and fall apart. What's
a hard What's what's more difficult?
Speaker 3 (31:56):
Well, I think it's difficult being Tiger Woods. And that's
like we actually looked at that as something that is commonplace,
and we just completely took it for granted. And I
even said on my Sunday show yesterday, there was a
point during the PGA Championship where John Rahm caught Scotti Scheffler,
but Scheffler had nine more holes to play, there were
(32:19):
birdie holes. He ends up separating himself. It's the exact
opposite of the US Open. You post a score and
then like there was a point where you're like, okay,
Adam Scott and Sam Burns now need birdies on You're like, well,
that's never gonna happen. Like you have to survive to
the end. So just that's what Spawn did and posting
(32:39):
a number a lot of times at the US Open,
We'll get you to the finish line. I remember vividly
Web Simpson when he won in twenty twelve at Olympic.
I was at Olympic. I didn't see a shot he
hit all day and he ends up being the US
Open champ. I was following Jim Fiorick and gram McDowell
because those were the two players that were in contention,
and Slow instead he won the race. For gram mc donald,
(33:00):
that for Web Simpson at that point. But yeah, I
think we underestimate the greatness of Tiger II when we
see all these moments happen.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
Let's let's Dan, Dan, there's some breaking news in the
world of sports. Here's Dampire.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
Breaking news from Fox Sports.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
We have a no hitter at the College World Series,
gage Wood of the Arkansas Razorbacks. No perfect game, but
no hitter. Arkansas tops Murray State by a score of
three to nothing. It was an elimination game and Arkansas survives.
But gage Wood is the hero and no hitter. Arkansas
(33:41):
tops SU Murray State today by a score of three
to nothing. I believe it's the third no hitter in
College World Series history. So the third no hitter at
the College World Series belongs to Gage Wood of the
Arkansas Razorbacks.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Doug

the press, Hey Dan Tyrak. For forty years, Tyrec's been
helping customers on the right tires for how what where
they drive ship fast and free back by free Road
(34:51):
has protection with convenient installation options like Mobi Tire Installation,
tire dot Com. We tire buying should be Denny. What
do you have my friend?
Speaker 3 (35:00):
Maybe his name is only better than the performance Gage Wood.
We just brought you the breaking news a no hitter
at the College World Series. It becomes the third no
hitter in College World Series history. He had nineteen strikeouts
today in the three nothing win over Murray State. Here's
how it sounded on ESPN two. So our goods saw
(35:30):
stays alive winning that elimination game. But for Wood history,
I mentioned the third no hitter in men's College World
Series history. It's the first since nineteen sixty so wow. Yes,
it's been a wow, but it happened today. In all
its awesome, there was also some controversy as well. So
(35:51):
what about a perfect game? Except he beamed a batter.
In fact, he beamed two, but one of them was
overruled on reviewing the ninth inning. I didn't catch the
review because we were talking on the air at that point,
but the call of awarding the batter first base was overturned.
I don't know if he leaned into the pitch or
it was in the strike zone, but anyway, it wouldn't
have mattered because the perfect game was already lost. But
(36:13):
a nineteen strikeout no hitter today for gauge would?
Speaker 1 (36:19):
I love the College World Series. I love Actually that
it was in an elimination game makes it even more money.
And though I'm not into the no hitters, like you know,
we talked about this no hitters in Major League Baseball,
I no hitter in a College World Series, in elimination game.
It's pretty spectacular.
Speaker 3 (36:34):
I was waiting for Sam's nineteen gauge joke, but it
never came about the twelve Gauge then gets a gun joke.
Oh yeah, I was firing. Yes, I don't even own
a gun. Yes didn't it didn't happen.
Speaker 1 (36:47):
Doesn't doesn't stop you from making a bad joke.
Speaker 3 (36:50):
I let Dan do that. Oh, that was actually a
pretty good rip. I'll accept that one, all right, Doug.
Game five of the Finals tonight, we will have starting
lineups as part of the something that had happened in
twelve years.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
I understand, But how did it become a thing that
people suddenly cared about something that nobody realized was gone
for the last twelve years.
Speaker 3 (37:09):
So I think it's like the barstool effect. Big Cat
says something we're missing all this stuff, it ends up
being run with, and then all of a sudden it
needs to respond, or the NBA feels the need to respond.
The court stuff, I get, the starting lineup stuff. It's
funny because starting lineups were so much a part of
(37:29):
our childhood. I mean, the bulls like starting intro is
something that was great. I think that a love story
line up for your Yeah, like, I think that should
be something the NBA should lean into. But they're not.
Speaker 1 (37:42):
The line is uh. Oklahoma se is a nine and
a half point favorite, nine half pint favorite.
Speaker 3 (37:51):
I like not Surprise, I like I like Oklahoma City.
I do as well and enjoy Chestnut's going to be
back eating hot dogs on the fourth of July and
Coney Island announcing today he'll return to the event that
he did not take part in last year.
Speaker 1 (38:08):
Yeah, didn't he? What was it over? It was over
