Speaker 2 (00:21):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
Why I want you Dog Gottlieb Show, Fox Sports Radio.
I hope you're having a great day. The Doug Gottlieb
Show broadcasts live every day Sunday Southern California, Sudney Sunday,
Northeastern Wisconsin. Welcome, Welcome, Welcome in to do doo uh.

(00:52):
We'll get to love and hate from the weekend upcoming.
But sometimes we move things around because of guys schedules,
and I think we can talk some NFL upcoming in
a moment, you know, Chris Paul going back to the Clippers.
I think that's interesting, right because Chris Paul first, I

(01:14):
think made the Clippers sort of relevant when they were
when they were Lobb City, but now obviously at the
tail end of his career, trying to be closer to
his family who lives in Los Angeles. That's all makes sense.
I did want I did want to spend just a
moment before we bring it Adam Kaplan. I want to
spend just a moment in discussing this the President Trump

(01:38):
and his new thing, which is, hey, he wants to
make the Commanders change their name and the Guardians changed
their name back. And I want to share with you
something that I know to be true, and whether or
not you like it or not, it doesn't matter to me.

(01:59):
I know it's at actually a true, real thing. So
you know, I think that my favorite part about working
in the media for as long as I've worked in
the media is the people that I've met along the way, right,
and the people that now I call him as my friends,
and that I've run into at a concert, at a game,

(02:21):
or you know, like, hey, I remember you calling a
game fifteen years ago, or you were calling an NCAA
tournament game, and it's it's really been a fun ride.
One of the people that I'm friendly with worked for
the President during his last during his his last run

(02:43):
as president. Right, he was in the White House in
the Oval, a high ranking guy who's a friend, and
I remember and this was before he got re elected.
I remember saying, what what explain to me the attraction.

(03:05):
Explain to me how it works, because here's a guy
from ridiculous wealth, right literally born on third base, and
yet you have people who his policies don't really help.
The tax cuts are not for the middle class. They're

(03:26):
just not. They're not for low income earners. In many ways,
he's anti union, and yet union people will vote for
I said, explain how that works, and he said that
it doesn't matter. If he can accomplish what he says
he can accomplish. He has the unique ability to read

(03:48):
a room, find out what you can say that will
energize that room, and then say it without repercussion. And
he doesn't. Actually, I have to own it. I think
that's what doing here. And at the time of the
name change, I thought it was it was silly to
change names. It was not because you can't. You can

(04:11):
hear redskin. If you break down what it actually means,
you could use it as a slur. But it's not
a derogatory term that's actually used in anyone's common language
over the past I don't know, forty years. It's just not.
But I'm also not native American, so I can't tell
you the level of offense or you know how popular

(04:32):
it is. I know the actual logo was in many
ways more popular than the nickname. But the point is
that this is classic Trump, classic in that I'm sure
he was at some point in time, and whether it's
the new stadium at RFK or whatever, he got energized

(04:52):
by telling people, Hey, what if I changed that name
and the room goes crazy and that becomes this thing
for short period time and then he moves on, much
like he seems to have moved on from Greenland. I
don't know what that was about Canada. I don't know
what that was about. And now the Commanders and the Guardians,
but we'll see. Adam Kaplan joins us. Of course, he

(05:15):
has the Inside the Birds podcast. He's our major League
He's he's our NFL insider for Fox Sports Radio. Did
you hear what Jerry Jones said about Michael Parsons?

Speaker 3 (05:28):
Michael Parsons, Yes, And I have a friend who works
with the Cowboys, so he made me. He made sure
that I listened to what Jerry said today.

Speaker 4 (05:34):
We had a good laugh.

Speaker 5 (05:34):
Yes, well, wellware, yeah, okay, so.

Speaker 1 (05:39):
I understand he's not a free agent really at the
end this year, they can franchise him, right. I get
that that they do still have some leverage. But here
we are kind of in that same cowboy cycle of
really good player, guy who wants to be there, and
yet we don't have a new contract or contract extension.
So there's a standoff before the last year of the deal,
feeling like it's gonna end up. Cows Nick cust the

(06:00):
Cowboys more rather than less as away, Why go down
the same.

Speaker 3 (06:05):
Path, because I've talked about this now for what like
six years on FSR every contract. I mean, he and
in factually it's funny you bring us up. Jerry talked
about what happened with Dak Prescott. Jerry waited, Doug waited,
waited and waited.

Speaker 4 (06:19):
What happened.

Speaker 3 (06:21):
He paid it above market deal for Dak Prescott. Okay,
Todd France, who's agent, did a great job. He's like,
if you want to get paid, if you want to
get this done, this is what it's going to cost.
He waited too long and he paid above market sixty
million a year. And Jerry brought up today Doug that
you know we did a contract last year and the
guy missed two thirds of the season. Oh well, that's
not the players problem. I call stuff down the middle.

(06:42):
I'm just telling you the way people look at it.
And with Michael Parsons, now that we have the deal
for guys nearly five years older and TJ.

Speaker 4 (06:50):
Watt.

Speaker 3 (06:51):
If I'm David Mullagetta, Michael Parson's agent, how do you
do a deal for less than forty one million season?

Speaker 4 (06:57):
How it's twenty six years old? About twenty six years old? Can't.

Speaker 3 (07:02):
So that's where it's at. They both sides want to
get a deal done. I expected to get done done
a lock. But he's not going anywhere. There's no trade
talks nothing, He's not going. We could stop that nonsense.
The stuff about you all these bloggers and aggregators doing
these trade proposals, it's nonsense.

Speaker 4 (07:18):
It's not happening.

Speaker 1 (07:21):
I do think there's another possibility there, And you tell
me if if you think this is is accurate. We
do always look at it and go like, hey, why
doesn't Jerry get this deal done?

Speaker 4 (07:31):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (07:31):
Well, the other part too, it is there's a very
strong likelihood that they're asking for absolutely obscene money, and
he's like that that doesn't make any sense. Be happy
to have a conversation once we get into realistic money. Right,
we do have a tendency just because they've done this.
And look, I actually agree with him on the top

(07:52):
on the Dak Prescott contract, like it's why it's Dak
Prescott's been hurt a lot and when you're not, you know,
so why did you sign up contract with them?

Speaker 3 (08:00):
He didn't have to do that, Listen, Jared did not
have to do that deal, Doug. Now, it's they would
have liked to have done a shorter contract that the
Prescott sad, but they did a four year extension for
the for cap purposes. But he got he got, I
mean he got sixty million a year on the nose.
I mean it's it's a jig contract. The structure's really
really good. Now that well, Michael Parsons is a guy

(08:25):
that's going to get a deal that's going to be historic,
and there's really no reason to do it if you're
if you're Michael Parsons, if it's less than forty one million.
Now the problem that would be we're on what you
were talking about. Well, Micah's not going to want to
play for twenty four million for the season. It's fully
guaran cheated, but so what he can get hurt and
he never gets his deal. So that that's that's why

(08:47):
there's it's highly unlikely he'll play on this deal without
an extension. Now, what you can do is you could
do a short term deal because you're you're worried about
the guaranteering three future years. You could do something like that,
but typically they're not done anymore because club when there's
something hanging over a club, would you've won both sides

(09:08):
agree that, Okay, we're going to get this done.

Speaker 4 (09:10):
They get it done, whether it's three or four years.

Speaker 3 (09:12):
Now the Cowboys might if Parsons wants to get forty
three forty four million a year and we'd have to
do four or five years. That's where you got to
You've got to be fair to the club. And remember,
as you mentioned, this is a fair point. He's on
his fifth year option. They could franchise him for two
years and that's where their leverage would be.

Speaker 1 (09:29):
Stug gotlab show here on Fox Sports Radio. That's the
voice of Adam Kaplan. Okay, where are we with we
have a first round pick who's working out with his school.

Speaker 3 (09:42):
Yeah, he's not practicing. You're talking about Shamar Turner. Let's
make that clear. Who's the first round pick for the Bengals.
It's caught, he's not re entering school all that. Again,
bad aggregation, not doing that. So this is where we're at.
The Bengals are not budging. Mike Brown, the magic partner,
the principal owner, his family, his daughter Katie, negotiates the contracts.

(10:06):
Duke Tobin, who's the personnel director, he doesn't negotiate contracts.
He's just basically the leaks, the team spokesman. They're not
budging on the default language. Default language is very simple.
It's if you cannot fulfill your duties as a player,
if you get suspended, in particular, we're not going to
pay that future cat. We're not going to guarantee you

(10:27):
future money. And that's it. Now, here's the problem with it. Maryusmims,
their first round pick, did not have this language in
this contract last year. That's why his agent, Zach Killer
is saying, listen, we want. All we want is what
you did last year. Now, I would suggest they must
not trust Schamart Turner at some point, because why would
you give different language for a player drafted this year.

(10:51):
When you gave a guy last year a contract where
you didn't have to worry about that, that's just not right.
No one else is doing it. But now get default language.
Now that's a different story. But for whatever reason, they're
doing what they're doing. And let's not forget Sam Hubbard.
You've got he retired one of their starting defensive ends
and Trey Henderson hasn't got his extension yet. They're moving

(11:13):
pretty close, by the way, and he's around the same age,
by the way as TJ Watt.

Speaker 1 (11:19):
Okay, speaking of TJ Watt, what should we read into
his new deal.

Speaker 3 (11:24):
Well, I'm a little surprised. I'm really surprised, but you
know I you know, I study contracts. I specialize in it.
The big hold up and why didn't get done around
the draft is because they they were balking at CEA's
asking guaranteed money. And then Omar Khan, the general manager,

(11:45):
got promoted, who used to be their contract negotiat, who
still does a lot of negotiation anyway, he got ownership
to say, listen, we made TJ the heighest paid player
at Rutcher and NFL history four years ago. But remember
now we waited until September tenth, right when the season started.

Speaker 4 (12:02):
We know what they want.

Speaker 3 (12:04):
This will be his last contract. We're going to have
to extend this one well like they want it. We're
going to take care of this player. And they've done.
I'll tell you what, Doug Now only did they step up.
They did a structure which they had really not done
other than with Ben Roethlisberger.

Speaker 4 (12:18):
They did this.

Speaker 3 (12:19):
First time with a defensive player with TJ. Watt four
years ago. They did it again. They're guaranteeing a whopping
dollar amount this year and then two future years, and
then the last year it is not guaranteed, but this
year and two more years are fully guaranteed. The money's crazy, ridiculous,
And to be honest with you, when you're thirty three

(12:40):
years old, there's no It's highly unlikely who'd be playing
the same levels this year. That's the knock on why
a lot of people are in league thought this was
a little bit foolhardy by the Steelers, but he's their
player and they want to do it right by him.

Speaker 1 (12:52):
Let's circle back to the Bengals. What happens to Trey
hendrickson that deal?

Speaker 3 (12:56):
I expect to get done now his age. Hard Lows
has been in the business for thirty five to forty years.
He knows every agent will tell you that it's dealt
with the Bengals. It's not easy. They're not a cash
rich team. Most teams are cash rich. They're one of
the teams that are not cash rich. They did the
big deal last year for Jamar Chase. They did the

(13:17):
big deal for t Higgins, which a lot of people
thought was not smart for a number two receiver. Making
pay the highest paid number two receiver in the NFL,
probably not the smartest thing to do. And now you
got their best defensive player, one of their top three players,
who's got a very undervalued deal, and they know they
have to step up, and they're trying. I mean, they've
had a lot of proposals. They're pretty close. I would

(13:38):
not be surprised if a deal gets done this week.
I usually don't make those kind of predictions because things
could break down, you know, between clubs and agents. I've
dealt with this for twenty seven years, but this one
is getting pretty close. But I'm very curious what the
real like. Let's say it gets reported by like ten
people that it's forty one million a year. But I'm
very interesting see how much they actually guarantee it's signing,

(13:59):
because that's going to be the big deal.

Speaker 1 (14:00):
It's Doug Gottlieb Show here on Fox Sports Radio. Are
Fox Sports Radio NFL insiders Adam Kaplan, He's kind of
to spend some time this year on the Doug Gottlieb
Show on Fox Sports Radio. What's the likely that Anthony
Richardson is a starting quarterback for the Colts?

Speaker 6 (14:17):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (14:18):
Boy, I don't do odds, but they want Look, they
want Daniel Jones, who they thought it would be a
good fit for their system. They really felt that he
would push him because they wanted someone with pretty high
character who has been the playoffs.

Speaker 4 (14:32):
Before you could say what you want about Daniel Jones.

Speaker 3 (14:34):
They shocked the world when they not only made the playoffs,
they won a playoff game in twenty two they won
at Minnesota.

Speaker 4 (14:39):
So they know this player. They've done their homework on him.

Speaker 3 (14:42):
It's not making a ton of money, Daniel Jones making
about fourteen million nuts, not starter money, that's high in
backup money. They're gonna like, what's the chances are unless
he just completely implodes his inaccurate.

Speaker 4 (14:53):
He's going to be the starter Richardson.

Speaker 3 (14:55):
But it's not just that, Doug, it's what are the
chances they'll keep the job much less? They're look Chris
Ballard his jobs on the line, the general manager, Shane Steichen,
so in a third year, they head coach. They Chris
Bowder has not got the contract. The quarterback's right since
inter Lux surprisingly retired, which is not Chris's problem. He
didn't control that one. But the bottom line is he

(15:17):
hadn't got it right. And you saw what happened with
Richardson last year, the benching, the immaturity. You're hoping he
learned a valuable lesson, he said he has, but he's
gonna have to prove it. And by the way, he's healthy,
he's ready to go.

Speaker 1 (15:31):
He's healthy, he's ready to go. But is he any
good when he is healthy? And yeah, question yet. Yeah,
he also hasn't been able to stay in right right.

Speaker 3 (15:37):
And really he's only had like two or three good
games effect one of his maybe his best game, was
his first game a couple of years ago with the Colts.
So yeah, it you know, it's a shit And you
know this from being a guy who's done radio for
years and you follow the NFL.

Speaker 4 (15:49):
How you go at quarterback is how you go.

Speaker 3 (15:51):
And when you're below average at quarterback, I don't care
how good your defense is, you're not going to win.

Speaker 1 (15:56):
Yeah, and then it's a cycle of every time they run,
you know, they've run him less to get him, put
him in harm's way less. But part of what makes
him potentially super effective is his ability to run the ball.

Speaker 4 (16:09):
I know, and play goal line.

Speaker 3 (16:11):
Yeah, you're you're right, But what they want him to
do is and this has less to do with design.
When you're dropping back, run the play like it. You
should run it now. If you don't like what you see, go,
But you have to also learn all the quarterbacks you name,
We could go through the list of running quarterbacks. You
have to learn how to slide and get out of bounds,
and that's.

Speaker 4 (16:29):
A learn trait.

Speaker 3 (16:31):
The more you play, Doug by the way, the more
you play, the more you learn, as you know as
a coach, and he's got to do that.

Speaker 4 (16:37):
He's really got to play.

Speaker 3 (16:38):
They they really want to make an evaluation and haven't
been able to make evaluation on him, as I understand it.

Speaker 4 (16:42):
They don't feel like.

Speaker 3 (16:42):
They have because he's just barely played because he's been hurt,
you know, but the little bit of immaturity last season.

Speaker 1 (16:48):
Yeah, no question, cap, great stuff, dude, Thanks for joining us.

Speaker 4 (16:51):
Good thanks man.

Speaker 1 (16:53):

Speaker 2 (18:43):
What did you love?

Speaker 4 (18:44):
God?

Speaker 2 (18:44):
I love you and what did you hate?

Speaker 4 (18:47):
Meet these Claire hay Is.

Speaker 1 (18:51):
Love love love love love, Hey, hey, hey, hey, heye
hate hate. Let's uh, let's start with you. Bo Benson
sent me a love from the weekend.

Speaker 8 (19:04):
Mine's kind of twofold because it's my love and hate
are kind of the same thing. I got to take
my daughter and my wife to the movies yesterday. It's
my daughter's second movie as a three and a half
year old. She had a good time, so it was
really nice to get to do that have that experience together.

Speaker 4 (19:22):
So that was fun.

Speaker 1 (19:24):
My wife what what movie?

Speaker 8 (19:27):
Well that's maybe I'll save that, but it's a tease
for the hate part of it.

Speaker 5 (19:31):
But yeah, both found himself at the movie theater at
an odd time, watching an odd movie. Let's tease that for.

Speaker 1 (19:39):
A hate, Sammy, would you love in the weekend?

Speaker 5 (19:45):
So not a lot of uh, not a lot of
athletes in my family, you know, like me, my sister,
my mom, and dad. We all played sports like in
high school stuff, but never pursued it after high school
into college.

Speaker 4 (19:57):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (19:57):
The one exception would be my cousin Adam, who play
play college football at a lower level. I believe he
played at Iowa Wesland, which doesn't exist anymore, but did
put out a whole lot of air raid gurus like
Mike Leach and Hal Mummy spent time there. Anyway. He's
a proud sports dad. His son Adlai, who I guess

(20:19):
would be my second cousin once removed. Is what you
call him? The son or the children of your cousin
would be your second cousin once removed. He was the
MVP of the Iowa Shrine Bowl North Verst South and
he is taking his talents to Washington State. I got
a little audio courtesy of my cousin Adam.

Speaker 6 (20:40):
Listen to this offense from Van meter our field goal
fanatic Adli Lousbury.

Speaker 2 (20:49):
Bring it up. Awesome.

Speaker 6 (20:56):
Congratulations and how are you feeling after receiving the pretty good?

Speaker 1 (21:01):
You know?

Speaker 4 (21:01):
Nowhere we're out to be without these boys.

Speaker 2 (21:03):
They're fun all week, you know.

Speaker 4 (21:04):
I'm happy to be.

Speaker 6 (21:05):
Here, absolutely, And what are your future plans after this?

Speaker 5 (21:08):
We'll going to Washington State to play football. Exciting stuff,
that's pretty neat. I will finally have a member of
my extended family playing major college football and he's going
off there kick for Washington State and he's a punter.
He's a great athlete all around, played soccer, football, you know,
all kinds of sports growing up. So good for my
cousin's son, Edlaie, who was the He hit three out

(21:30):
of five field goals. He hit a couple of really
long ones and hit the game winning one with twenty
seconds to go. Shout out to Edlaie the kicker punter
going to Washington State. Pretty neat.

Speaker 1 (21:42):
Okay, what about you there, Ilo.

Speaker 9 (21:48):
What I love from the weekend was an outfit called
the Open Radio. They are the radio broadcasters of the
Open Championship. And the stereotype of American announcers is that
we are enthusiastic and exciting, and we freak out and
we scream and we yell, while the stereotype of British

(22:11):
broadcasters is they're very prim, very proper, very stoic. Well,
I'll tell you something, nothing could be further from the truth,
especially if it's a golfer from the United Kingdom doing
something good. So we were treated to this kind of

(22:32):
stuff all throughout the weekend. This as a sample is
Rory McElroy coming up with an eagle on Saturday during
the third round. Listen, how enthusiastic this bloke gets, perhaps
a little two enthusiastic, even.

Speaker 1 (22:49):
This is for Eagle three. It's on its way.

Speaker 5 (22:51):
Come on, Rory, Come on, Rory, keep going, keep going,
keep going.

Speaker 4 (22:55):
Let's go.

Speaker 1 (22:55):
It's coming over the ridge.

Speaker 2 (22:56):
Go on and again and again.

Speaker 5 (22:58):
Yah, bounce back, Rory McElroy Eagle on the twelfth.

Speaker 9 (23:07):
I'll have what he's having, So kudos the open Radio.

Speaker 5 (23:12):
They sounded like he was trying to get like his
child to potty train or something. He's like, yeah, you
can do it, you can do yay.

Speaker 9 (23:19):
Oh what an what an innocent connotation. I'll go with that.

Speaker 1 (23:23):
The Scotty Sheer, Rory McRoy, Scotti Sheffer.

Speaker 5 (23:28):
I just like the way they say those names. A
little creepy. It might be might might be a drop
in our system in the making.

Speaker 1 (23:35):
I think there's no question there's a drop in our
system making. Would say, yeah, Doug, the Dodgers got swept
over the weekend by the Brewers. That I believe is
they've lost ten out of twelve. But that's not the
part that I love. I loved that the Brewers who
swept the Dodgers in Milwaukee came out to the ravine

(23:57):
and swept the Dodgers in La Wown because you can say, hey,
you know it's in Milwaukee. It was, you know, getting
ready for the end of the first half. Dodgers need
to recharge. Brewers. Winning six consecutive against the Dodgers in

(24:18):
just over a week and a half is not a fluke.
I loved it. And matter of fact, Jay stu is
so rattled he took to day off. That's that's why
Jay Suh's not here. I don't know if you know
that Bo, that's have anything to do with pre planned vacation.
He just he is. He is a complete mess over
what's happened to the La Dodgers. Wow, let's get to

(24:40):
the other side. What we hated from the weekend? I'll
sorry with you, Sam, something you hated from the weekend.

Speaker 5 (24:51):
We've already talked about the WNBA All Star weekend and
all that. We've covered it quite a bit. I guess
my hate would just be that Kate and Clark couldn't play,
because I think if they wore the T shirts they did,
you know, all the stuff, and went through the game,
the game would have been better. And I think that
it would have if she was actually playing and not

(25:13):
hurt a lot of this, you know, the T shirts
and the sort of the drama coming out of the
weekend would have been softened a little bit by her presence.
The game wouldn't have been better too. I didn't think
it was a particularly good game, a lot of bricks.
So I hated the drama, and I hate the fact
that Caitlyn Clark could not play Bo Benson.

Speaker 1 (25:30):
Would you hate from today?

Speaker 4 (25:32):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (25:32):
But from the weekend?

Speaker 8 (25:33):
Lightly hated the Dodgers getting swept just because of how
poorly they played. Strongly hated the Smurf's movie.

Speaker 5 (25:41):
Oh my god, yes, the tea is that was just
paying off you kids.

Speaker 8 (25:45):
Movies, I don't expect them to be good, but like,
you can go watch a Pixar movie or some of
the Disney movies and you're still entertained as an adult.
But thankfully we're in the back row. So I was
just on my phone the whole time. But every time
I looked up, every time I looked up, it was
the dumbest thing I've ever seen. Oh but did your
daughter at least like she had a great time, which
is what's important. But mom and Dad did not so

(26:07):
I hated the New Smurf.

Speaker 5 (26:08):
Movie and you were in the theater at what time?

Speaker 8 (26:10):
Nine fifteen in the morning.

Speaker 1 (26:11):
Nine.

Speaker 5 (26:12):
I didn't even know they played movies that early.

Speaker 8 (26:14):
It was very early, very early for a movie.

Speaker 5 (26:16):
Get up, have your breakfast, have your cold brew, and
then go sit through the Smurfs.

Speaker 4 (26:21):
Wait.

Speaker 1 (26:21):
Wait, so what time did the movie actually start?

Speaker 8 (26:24):
A movie actually started probably closer to ten, you know,
with all the trailers.

Speaker 9 (26:27):
Oh my god, that's gotten over the years.

Speaker 1 (26:31):
Well, it's also kids movies. So what they do with
kids movies are they don't last very long. They're like
an hour twenty so then they just jam pack them
with even more.

Speaker 8 (26:39):
They played like a SpongeBob SquarePants short in front of
the movie to pad the run time.

Speaker 1 (26:45):
Yeah, I love form the Weekend.

Speaker 9 (26:48):
Well, unfortunately this is actually really really sad news. Uh
found out today that on Sunday Malcolm Jamal Warner, who
among us the things known for playing theo on The
Cosby Show, passed away at the age of fifty four
an accidental drowning. He was on vacation in Costa Rica

(27:12):
and got caught in a current swimming in the ocean
and passed away at the age of fifty four, I'm
sorry to say, and you know, just on social media
seeing remembrances of how you know, great a guy he
was and beloved and so popular throughout his career, and
even some of the scenes that I think particularly guys

(27:35):
like you and I Dug and people our generation would remember,
like the Gordon Gartrell scene from from The Cosby Show,
among others. So, yeah, that was some really sad news
from the weekend.

Speaker 1 (27:47):
Do we know if he could, if he knew how
to swim because he didn't come with.

Speaker 9 (27:51):
The family, Yeah, don't know.

Speaker 4 (27:52):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (27:55):
I'll tell you one thing though, if he if he
was swimming in the ocean where I don't know where
this happened. Do we know where this rica? See he
was in the ocean. Those some of those tides in
the surf can really be nasty, even if you're a
great swimmer. I just I can just hold the ocean.

Speaker 1 (28:09):
Again, there's I don't think there's any great way to
go when you're fifty four years old, and I'm sure
there and there's worse ways to go, but on vacation
with your family, Like, yeah, that's that's a rough one.
That's a rough one.

Speaker 5 (28:27):
Yeah, you're supposed to be there having great time and yeah,
it's just like.

Speaker 1 (28:31):
It's supposed to be like, yeah, well you're making memories, right,
does it. Hey, let's go on vacation. Let's make some memories.
Like yeah, well there's a memory you're not.

Speaker 5 (28:38):
Taking right, it turns to a nightmare and something they're like, oh,
Costa Rica, now in your in your head is this
negative place where something awful happened.

Speaker 1 (28:47):
Uh, I the w NBA, I'll start a weekend. I'm
going to say something which I'm not going to regret.
Ninety percent of the All Star participants are obnoxious. You're obnoxious.

(29:11):
I'm not saying I don't take shots at people's talent
or whatever like for their field, they're incredibly talented. People
pay way more attention to the WNBA than than ever before.
But with every opportunity they have to capitalize on new fans,
it's like they want to do their best to try

(29:33):
and make people feel bad for never paying attention previously,
or only pay attention to Kaitlin Clark. And the only
thing I can the only word I can use to
describe all of these the T shirts, the some of
the ways in which they treat Caitlyn Clark the way

(29:54):
in which they play, like, look, you're whether you want
to believe it or not, you're fighting for credibility. Ninety
five percent of men think you're you stink. They just
do again. I actually appreciate the fact that women's basket
players have gotten way better and the basketball is generally

(30:17):
really really good in comparison to what it used to
look like five years ago, ten years ago, fifteen, twenty
years ago in the WNBA. But then you mix in
t shirts which say we owe you? Who owes you money? Right,
It's like one of my least favorite things ever when
you use a past term tense, oh pay us, which

(30:39):
you owe us? It's wait a second, you had a
contract before, Yes, you got paid for that contract. Yes,
what are you complaining about. If you don't like a contract,
don't sign it. It's really that simple. Once you sign
a contract, you can't go back and go like, hey,
you owe me more Like no, no, no, that No
one does that. That's not the real world. The real world.

Speaker 4 (31:02):
You get paid.

Speaker 1 (31:04):
You get paid what the what the market will bear,
and if you don't like it, play somewhere else or
do something else. It's fine, but again it's just it's everything.
The game I was told was a complete mess, and

(31:24):
then you know the viral videos. It doesn't do what
you may think it does because you're trying to get
into mainstream. You're trying to and maybe it doesn't work. Okay,
maybe we'll never be a mainstream sport because let's just
be honest, Like Caitlin Clark fans are parents of teenage

(31:48):
or younger girls. That's a huge part of the and
those that they have never been WNBA fans or to
the level of WNBA fans ever in the twenty five
years previous, so that group, they're not down with all
the videos coming out of hanging out on WNBA All
Star Weekend. It doesn't mean you're not allowed to party,

(32:10):
have a good time, do whatever you want, but when
you put it out there into the ether, don't be
surprised if it comes back negatively. Then Caitlin Clark doesn't play,
then the game is awful. And they wear these T shirts, which,
while not offensive, they are acting like the world owes
them something and it feels like entitlement. Yeah, I hated

(32:31):
this weekend for the WNBA any other editions late We're good.
That's love and hate from the weekend.

Speaker 2 (32:39):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Doug
Gottlieb Show weekdays at three pm Eastern noon Pacific.

Speaker 1 (32:47):
The Doug Gottler Show, Fox Sports Radio. All Right, got
a big as Uh, we're getting Creek closer and closer
to camp starting in football season being here. How good

(33:11):
does that sound? Oh? Sounds so good, so good. In
the meantime, let's get to the press. Besides ISAA Glow
Crown ilo the press?

Speaker 9 (33:26):
Well, Doug, We've been talking for most of the day
about the always entertaining verbal exploits of Dallas Cowboys owner
Jerry Jones.

Speaker 1 (33:39):
Am I still on line?

Speaker 4 (33:41):
Oh?

Speaker 9 (33:41):
Yes, you are, very much so. But it turned out
that he was the only NFL owner to speak candidly today.
We turned to the Cincinnati Bengals ongoing situation involving the
holdout of first round draft pick Shamar Stewart. We're gonna
hear from owner Mike Brown in a moment. But Bengals

(34:03):
director of player Personnel Duke Tobin also spoke to reporters
today about Shamar Stewart's hold out, and he said, quote,
I can't say I blame Schamar for it. Chamar is
just listening to the advice he's paid for. I don't
understand it, but I'm not the one paying for that advice.
Now here's what owner Mike Brown had to say.

Speaker 10 (34:24):
At some point, we got to put this stuff behind
and just get him signed and get him up here
and get him so he can be a contributor. He
needs to get under way soon. It doesn't help him
or us to have this strung out.

Speaker 9 (34:41):
Of course, shortly thereafter, Jerry Jones said, hold my beer.
But still those remarks notable, nonetheless for the Bengals.

Speaker 1 (34:50):
Yeah. I mean, look, I get that the Bengals get
a reputation from being cheap. They'd never been cheap with
their own guys. So I think that the problem here
is you got an aging player who was the best
player on a bad defense last year, and how much
is he actually worth to you? And that I'm sure
eventually they'll get that thing done. It's just going to

(35:11):
be how much for how long?

Speaker 4 (35:14):
Now?

Speaker 9 (35:15):
We alluded to this earlier, but the Big Twelve Conference
today turned down a membership proposal by the University of Memphis.
Earlier today, Yahoo Sports reported that Memphis had offered the
Big twelve two hundred million dollars to join.

Speaker 1 (35:35):
Yeah, it seems interesting. It's like, what why would it?
And Memphis, I'm sure brings with it the promise of
FedEx sponsoring the league, But I would guess that brett
Ormark just says the and goes what value did they bring?
And there does come a point to where you have
too many teams and too many bites at the Apple.

(35:59):
But it it does seem to signify that the big
twelve thinks are getting more teams and they're above that
level of Memphis and the ones that are above that level
Memphis in terms of being able to get more money
out of this league feels like it's got to be
acc teams. That's what they're weight not all right.

Speaker 9 (36:21):
This just reported moments ago via Don Van Natta Junior
from ESPN. So Lloyd Howe Junior, as everybody knows, resigned
as the executive director of the Players Association last week.
He had also been working as an operating executive for

(36:42):
the Carlyle Group, and that was notable at the time
because it was associated and approved by the NFL as
one of the private equity firms that was seeking ownership
in NFL teams. It was thought to be a potential
conflict of interest. Now, how officially had been an option
creating executive focused on the aerospace and defense sector with

(37:04):
the Carlyle Group, but Don Van Atta reported moments ago
that Lloyd Howe Junior has now also resigned from the
Carlyle Group, with a spokesman refusing to say when he
resigned and why. And the rascal in B, the rascal
in B is wondering if it also had to do
with reimpurse bits. Yes, sorry, Jerry, So I'm just saying

(37:32):
that was that was just reported right now. A rough week,
I guess for Lloyd Howe Junior.

Speaker 1 (37:39):
Rough week, right, rough? I mean there's rougher weeks. But man,
because it plays out in public even even worse.

Speaker 9 (37:48):
Yikes, just like a Coldplay concertor I suppose, And that's.

Speaker 2 (37:51):
The shit of the press they get out there in press.
That was the press.

Speaker 1 (37:56):
This is the Doug Gottlieb Show on Fox Sports Radio. Okay, so, uh,
this is a week where Summer league ends, right, Major
League Baseball full swing and we just wait on football.
We just wait on football. But I thought that Scottie
Scheffler and his lack of desire to be a carry

(38:20):
the Torch Superstar and the w NBA pushing away there,
carry the Torch Superstar, one of the same of two
sports that they'll they'll just not take that next step.
They just won't. If you say the show, download the podcast.
