Speaker 3 (01:47):
Coming up Aaron Torres, of course, the Fox Sports Radio
weekend host and the host of the Aaron Torres podcast.
Speaker 5 (01:56):
Plus a little less call. So we got a lot
to get to.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
An hour number three, Rob Ge, we had another. We
thought we were done with these pd suspension in Major
League Baseball. The rules have been set. They're pretty steep.
One time you get a strike in eighty games, another
time you get eight one hundred and sixty two games
and narratives.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
We have another.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Person in the in the Major League Baseball being suspended.
Speaker 5 (02:27):
That's right tough scene for Braves.
Speaker 6 (02:29):
D h Jerkson Profar who at one point was considered
the new hotness in Major League baseb. He was, I mean,
for real, he was going to be the guy, the
next phenom, the next Twan Soto, the next I mean
seing another.
Speaker 5 (02:42):
Guy who has popped for peds. Your guy in San Diego,
Robertod'tis Junior, who was the face of baseball. I mean
like he Profar was gonna be one of those ones.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
You weren't here, Calvin, But that was they said, I
had to judge terrible man crush on Tatis.
Speaker 6 (03:00):
Profar, who already last year was suspended eighty games for
testing positive for a PED, tested positive again for another
peg les year right less than a year, which means
he is now subject to a one hundred and sixty
two game suspension by Major League Baseball. He will forfeit
the entirety of his fifteen million dollars salary. He'll be
(03:23):
ineligible for the postseason. He'll also be ineligible for the
upcoming World Baseball Classic. All bad, all the time for Profar.
But guys, it got me thinking. We just mentioned two
guys who were both up and coming in major the
baseball Profar Tatsis Junior got pop for pds and in
the case of Profar is basically gonna derail his entire career,
(03:44):
like that's gonna be his calling card now forever. Tatis
Junior was on a trajectory to be one of those ones,
and now he's kind of an afterthought, partly because he
does a positive PEDS and now there's always gonna be
a little asterisk next to his name.
Speaker 5 (03:57):
And as good as he's been since he came back,
nobody viewed him in the same way. They don't view
them the same way. He doesn't get the juice. He
just got the juice.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
Juice, what you mean?
Speaker 5 (04:10):
You know what I mean? So guys, let me ask
you this question.
Speaker 6 (04:16):
PD use even though it's been less prevalent now because
number one, you know, guys are smarter, and number two,
they're the science is ahead of the testing at this point.
Like the you can get a lot of things without
getting caught. And that's been the way for a while.
But one thing we've noticed is if you play baseball
and you get popped, it hangs over your head forever. Hell,
(04:38):
if you don't even get popped, you're just alleged to
us because we've got guys who are you forever. However,
you play NBA, shout out, Paul George. You play in
the NFL. Nobody seems to really care too much. Why
is that, Rob Parker?
Speaker 3 (04:54):
That's a great question. I think baseball's held to a
higher standard. It really is, And I think a lot
of has to do with the numbers like that when
the home run record was broken, that was a sacred number.
There aren't that many sacred numbers in football or basketball, right, There.
Speaker 5 (05:10):
Really aren't like not a number.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
You could be like Lebron has the all time scored
the most points, but there's no number. Hank Aaron seven
hundred and fifty five home runs meant something to people, right,
And I think that that's where the numbers in baseball
matter so much that people were like, oh my god,
they ruined what I used to know as you know
(05:33):
that home run number and now it's tanked it and
the guy who has the all time home run record
shouldn't be looked at at sideways. And I think that's
part of it. Do I think it's fair? No, I
don't think it's fair because just like Rob g mentioned Kelvin,
Paul George is fresh off of it and in Philadelphia
they're just waiting for him to get back, like Okay,
(05:57):
nobody's gonna look at him crazy or say do we
really want him on the team?
Speaker 5 (06:01):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (06:02):
The Sixers, should we really count if they make a playoff?
Run because he was on None of that conversation happens
at all with Paul George.
Speaker 7 (06:14):
Here's a couple of reasons why baseball allowed steroids to
run rampant and enjoyed the success of it. So to me,
what they did was they paired themselves with it. Rob
they intertwined themselves with it.
Speaker 5 (06:28):
You mean like he ain't gambling, Okay, go ahead, I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
Well, and that could become a thing eventually.
Speaker 7 (06:32):
But right now, with the steroids, when you looked at baseball,
we saw the resurgence of the popularity. We know, the
summer of ninety eight, the home run chase. Fast forward
a couple of years later, you got two or three
years of Barry Bonds. Everybody knows what's going on. We're
trying to turn a blind eye, but act like.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
We don't know.
Speaker 7 (06:47):
And so to me, when baseball by not nicking Nixon
in in the butt, you know, stopping it, what they
allowed to do was to get intertwined, wrapped up together.
So now you think steroids, you think baseball, you think runs.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
Going out of the park. Right, Barry Bonds is hitting
him just in it.
Speaker 7 (07:03):
I know he's never been caught, yuilt whatever, positive, never suspended,
but we're seeing him hitting him in the in the
cove regularly, like that's just not normal the rate he
was doing it right, And then you see, we already
know Sammy so so, we already know Mark uh uh, Markguire.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
So on and so forth.
Speaker 7 (07:20):
Jose can Sego came out, was like man, everybody was
stabbing each other in the butt. So I think baseball
again became the poster child for it.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
When we we just again it was interwoven with the.
Speaker 7 (07:30):
With steroids, home runs baseball, you see it kind of
they go hand in hand.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
I don't have a correlation with NBA.
Speaker 7 (07:39):
Like if Paul George was doing steroids, I don't know
what it made them better?
Speaker 4 (07:43):
You know what I don't. I don't have it.
Speaker 7 (07:44):
I don't know what it did, and I'm not saying
it doesn't. We don't have something we naturally correlated to.
So it's like, hey, Steph, courage the steroids is like,
I don't know, did they make um shoot better?
Speaker 4 (07:54):
I don't know, Paul, I'm just making them just saying that.
People just use that as example.
Speaker 7 (07:57):
So when Paul George gets busted for you can there's
nothing identifiable that made him better. And I think that's
why we don't look at it the same football. I
think there's just an inherent you just figured these dudes
are the most tough Neanderthra running into each other body slamming.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
If they found out there on stories, you kind of go, well,
that makes sense.
Speaker 7 (08:17):
You're slamming two hundred and fifty pound three hundred pound
men slamming into each other for three and a half hours.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
That makes sense.
Speaker 7 (08:24):
And then finally, I think the only other sports we
do do the same with baseball.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
I would say cycling and I would say track.
Speaker 7 (08:32):
I think those two sports we do the same with baseball, like, well,
we kind of expect it, but I will say again,
we don't care because it's for our entertainment purpose.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
But here, but here's the thing.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Even in the NFL, Antonio Gates is in the Hall
of Fame, right busted, Like it didn't make people not
want to vote for him.
Speaker 7 (08:54):
Because logically it makes sense. We go, well, I mean, yeah,
it's hard, it's god no.
Speaker 5 (08:58):
What people get suspended for us hard? It doesn't make
sense with.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
You the legislation of it, But logically we go.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
Julian Edoman with the Patriots, right, I don't look at
him and think of the juice. But he got busted.
People are talking about this. He deserved to get in
the Hall of Fame. Uh, Patrick Peterson, DeAndre Hopkins.
Speaker 7 (09:20):
Even our guys, two guys who were going, Patrick Peterson
and DeAndrea going in.
Speaker 5 (09:24):
Uh Sean Merriman at one point.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
I remember that year he got popped and then he
was up for Defensive Player of the Year.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
Do you remember that?
Speaker 5 (09:34):
Remember that?
Speaker 3 (09:35):
Like it was Yeah, after he got off, you know,
off of suspension.
Speaker 5 (09:39):
And it's just weird because.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
There were other guys who have gotten busted in the NBA.
I think it's more prevalent than people want to admit.
And you can't really I would agree speculate, I do.
I think there are people who else? Was it somebody else?
Rob g There was a guy was it with Shard
Lewis from the Magic?
Speaker 6 (09:57):
We have current guys Paul George this season, Bobby port
Is last season, Tristan Thompson washed out of the league
after he tested positive, John Collins currently with the Clippers,
and DeAndre Ayton.
Speaker 5 (10:10):
It was a diarmitic it wasn't.
Speaker 7 (10:13):
So can I so let me tell you, Let me
tell you why Rob. When you look at that list,
that Rob's lame name was there an All Star on there?
Speaker 5 (10:23):
I mean ultimate, it's a bigger name right now.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
What I mean aside from Paul Jordan.
Speaker 7 (10:30):
What I mean is like, that's the difference when you
talk baseball. If we're someone says again, Barry Bonds, we
know he didn't test Roger Kleman. You're talking about maybe
top three picture marks, one of the best hitters, Barry
Bonds arguably in the category, best player ever, Alex Rodriguez
(10:50):
arguably in the best player category of the last thirty years.
So you're naming great and that's why it became bigger.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
If you started rolling off Steph.
Speaker 5 (10:59):
Kerr, you honest Lebron telling me something.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
I just said. If you're throwing out.
Speaker 7 (11:05):
Some guys, yo, kid, you know Kawhi Leonard and and
and and you know Chris Paul, then you might be like,
oh shoot, because you got you can see the results.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
Roger, just name the bust of guys we actually are
mad at because we want more from So you know
what I mean?
Speaker 7 (11:21):
The other a ges yo that can at least be
click Capella.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
They're not.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
They're not the household names.
Speaker 6 (11:31):
But he'll turl you mentioned for Charle Lewis, Darius almost Hem.
Speaker 5 (11:36):
You know, is the key player in the finals. Even Man,
don't you remember when they beat up but they.
Speaker 7 (11:42):
Stopped spect on his nay, stopped the stopped the Kobe
le Lebron final.
Speaker 6 (11:46):
That was he he dude, Kirk and what a turk
glue man, I'm here here's one. This wasn't a PD
but they said it was a man shout out to
Chris Webber.
Speaker 5 (11:54):
See well, I don't know. I think you might have
been the weed on that time, but like they're weed
been guy.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
Furthering my voice.
Speaker 7 (12:03):
He was a perfectly fine, good role player, like he
could play on my team.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
He was good. I liked him.
Speaker 7 (12:08):
He ain't Mary Bonds, Roger Clemments, Alex Rodriguez, David Big Poppy.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
Who I mean, come on, are you kidding me?
Speaker 7 (12:19):
Like, look at the list of people, Manny Ramirez, like,
come on, bro, Andy Pettitt, come on, and these of
the guys just.
Speaker 5 (12:28):
So that's that's all that matters.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
But to me, it would be like those guys were
already good before they got on the juice as well.
Speaker 7 (12:35):
So what I'm saying those are names and and and
again I can associate it. People will go, well, Roger Clemens,
he must've threw it harder. They'll go clearly, Mark, Mark
McGuire and Sammy Jones are blasting it out the park.
You know, I don't know what that did for he
Dow Turkulu. I don't know what that did for DeAndre Ayton.
Whatever it is, don't do the opposite. Never do steroids.
(12:58):
You might be better. So that that's my point. You
there's a correlation with baseball where I can go, oh,
he did.
Speaker 5 (13:04):
That, sociated name recognition and their.
Speaker 7 (13:07):
Status, and yeah, in a correlation correlation to me, he
did that.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
He hit a bunch of home runs.
Speaker 7 (13:13):
David Big Poppy hit a bunch before, but he ain't
hit it like that once, you know, once we started
to see it. Mannys was always good, but man, he
started to hit harder.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
Roger Cleinins was heck of a pitcher. Boy, He's throwing
it harder.
Speaker 7 (13:28):
So I think the correlation along with the numbers, I
do agree the numbers is huge, right, You're you're chasing
these historical numbers.
Speaker 5 (13:34):
I do believe the numbers has.
Speaker 3 (13:37):

hoops with him as well, plus Lasco coming up.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
At the end of the hour eight seven seven ninety
nine on Fox.
Speaker 7 (15:30):
Rob Gi threw out a great question, which is why
do we maybe associate MLB and pds and it gets
the scrutiny for pds more than any other sport. Let's
take some calls eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
Who we got?
Speaker 3 (15:44):
All right, let's start with Brandon in Seattle. You're on
the odd couple of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 5 (15:50):
What's up, B? How are you?
Speaker 8 (15:52):
How's it going?
Speaker 5 (15:53):
Rob?
Speaker 4 (15:54):
Great?
Speaker 9 (15:55):
Calvin?
Speaker 4 (15:56):
What's up? B?
Speaker 8 (15:58):
I heard you put a swing on Twitter or something
that I have to analyze from me? Yeah, did you
get did you take a baseball swing or something the
other day?
Speaker 10 (16:08):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (16:08):
Wasn't the other day?
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (16:09):
That's update at that.
Speaker 8 (16:12):
Yeah, I heard about that to the great. Yeah, we'll
put a little comment there for you, but uh yeah,
I think when it comes to baseball, just the longevity
of the sport, you know, the age of it. You know,
like you were saying, the numbers they're so individualistic, and
like Kelvin was saying, you know, like there's a correlation
(16:33):
to performance, and so it was like, well, we you know,
I guess the old heads would be like, the kids
aren't getting bigger, stronger and faster. You know, they've been
saying this like back in the nineteen fifties that was
like the new crop, you know, Mickey Mannle and all
those guys, and they still couldn't top you know, Babe Ruth,
and they kept bringing the fences in and then lowering
(16:55):
the mound and everything. But steroids were one thing where
it's like we couldn't analyze you through the generations as
a natural boy.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
But here's my pushback, and I'm just gonna be for
to pick out three or four hitters and say they're
the worst thing, when if you go and do your
research and look at it, more pictures have been busted
on the juice. So oftentimes they're also facing guys who
are using the same stuff. And I'm not saying it's
(17:26):
exact numbers, Kelvin.
Speaker 5 (17:27):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
But it ain't just the hitters. No, I'm not saying
it that makes it right or wrong. But it's not
like the only people we seem to want to crucify
or the home run hitters. And what I'm saying is
their pictures are using it too.
Speaker 8 (17:45):
Yeah, it's a Kelvin's point. I think it's possible that
the power that steroids gives you is more correlated to
hating rather than Oh I disagree.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
I think it's more about recovery. That's what a lot.
Speaker 7 (18:00):
I don't disagree, but I think what the common person
thinks of the common person thinks of the summer of
ninety eight, they get it.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
Mark, you know what I mean. Like you and I
can talk this because you.
Speaker 7 (18:09):
Know you can dive a little deeper, right, But I
average person just thinks steroids home runs.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
No, I get it, Brandon, Thank you, my man. We
appreciate the call. Thanks for checking in. Andre Dre in Massachusetts.
You're in the odd couple of Fox Sports Radio. What's
going on in the Commonwealth?
Speaker 11 (18:27):
How you doing thanks for taking a call.
Speaker 9 (18:29):
We are digging ourselves out from the blizzard of twenty
twenty six.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
Is it's going well.
Speaker 9 (18:33):
We got a little bit of rain, so the snow
is starting to melt and we can we can get out,
very good move around, you know, get ready for the
baseball season. But I got to cocur with the previous caller.
I think the reason it means more in baseball is
because the record book is still sacred, right Sixty home
runs mean something, three thousand strikeouts, seven hundred and fourteen
home run It's the last professional sport where the Hall.
Speaker 11 (18:55):
Of Fame still has that.
Speaker 9 (18:57):
Standard, that golden that gold standard. It's not the blissy
wing for the league as it is in the NBA.
But it's tricky in baseball because there's a complicity in
the steroid era with the game itself. Meaning the steroid
era came after the strike in ninety five and people
moving away from baseball large and the LEA organization saying
(19:18):
we kind of need something to kind of get people back,
get people excited. That Mark maguire, Sammy Sosa situations. By
the way, baseball needs to avoid a lockout right now, Okay,
so you can keep the moment.
Speaker 5 (19:28):
Reagree with that.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
Me and Calvin a both on that where it is,
I get it, I get the numbers and whatnot. It's
just funny that like Paul George will get zero smoke,
like like it didn't even happen.
Speaker 7 (19:42):
I agree with that. Average person they don't.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
Even know it. They don't exactly They like, oh, yeah.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
He's on his knee, it's messed up. No, no, it's
not his knee. It's not his knee. It's steroids or
well pdd.
Speaker 5 (19:54):
I agree with you.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
I bet you most don't even know there's a scandal
or or a juice scandal. You say baseball, Oh, Barry bonds,
Roger plummets.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
But you brought up a great point, rob.
Speaker 7 (20:06):
Why I think gambling could be more impactful with the
NBA is because again especially with prop bets, like maybe
not more, but why it could attach it so because
you can see the co correlation. Oh, guy's missing shots
or not taking shots, or you know, man, he shot
twelve threes in the first half. That's a little unusual
for him, Like you can see that again with basketball.
(20:28):
I don't know what steroids. I literally I don't whether
to make you post up board and make you dumb fast.
I don't know, and I think that's the core I
think where people have some issues with.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
All Right, we got air torres.

and then I had the Pistons. I mean I had
Cleveland plus two and a half. They beat the Pistons,
and are you serious? I looked at the score, got
too excited and.
Speaker 4 (21:59):
I'm too excited.
Speaker 5 (22:01):
You did it too, Okay, okay, I'm still good.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
Though you did.
Speaker 5 (22:05):
I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 7 (22:06):
You stopped the show for three and oh and it
wasn't that. You just took like a minute and a
half from our guy joining us right now, Man, that's
all right, eron Torres, our guest right now, Aaron, I'm sorry.
Speaker 5 (22:17):
I was Aaron.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
I got fifteen and a half points and they lose
by seventeen, and I just looked at the school.
Speaker 5 (22:23):
I was like, oh, they covered that, and I looked
at it. Its the Kelvin thank you.
Speaker 11 (22:27):
You can get a journalism degree at Southern Connecticut. I
don't know if they attraction there though.
Speaker 7 (22:33):
You know.
Speaker 11 (22:35):
What.
Speaker 5 (22:36):
Hey, hey, Aaron, they're up.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
They're up at the press box taking my name down
because I can't right down.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
He got us looking bad on a national show. Let
me pull his name down.
Speaker 11 (22:45):
Hey, let me let me ask you a question in Kelvin,
maybe you can help me with this. So during football,
Rob Parker told me that Indiana couldn't be a Cinderella
because they have nil. So does that fly to Miami
of Ohio two? Are they just another team that pays
their players? Are they? Are they actually a feel good
story now that they're thirty and Oh.
Speaker 7 (23:05):
Listen, first of all, I told him, but even with Indiana,
I don't give a dack if they're paying somebody. Everybody
else been paying everybody for that game.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Miami in Ohio are paying the money that Indiana paid.
I'll tell you that that's true.
Speaker 11 (23:17):
That's you're just giving you. I mean, you got your
press box taken away. I should stop giving your heart exactly?
Speaker 5 (23:23):
Can you do that? We appreciate it? All good? All right,
let's start with Bruce Pearl. Let's start there.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
I just, I mean really like he's saying a twenty
nine and old team at that point, now thirty and
zero still needs to win their conference in order to
get into the tournament with a sixty eighteen field.
Speaker 5 (23:43):
I thought that was very harsh on Miami of Ohio.
Speaker 11 (23:48):
Yeah, and obviously the caveat I know, you guys know,
but for the audience is that, of course, you know,
his son duck over a team that is I don't
even think they're on the bubble at this point. I
think they have to win out they being Auburn, and
then do some damage in their conference tournament. And I
do think for all the noise, Miami of Ohio probably
(24:10):
is in at this point. I mean, thirty regular season wins,
I don't think they're going to be left out. But
to your point, Rob, I do think you know all
the sarcasm aside, I think it's a good one. I
think it's a bad look for Verus Burrow. I know
he's paid to be an analyst, but in this specific situation,
we all know what's going on, right and exactly you
know where I'm going with this.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
He was putting out there for the committee that a
team like Auburn, despite not having the record, is still
better on any given day, right than Miami of Ohio.
Speaker 5 (24:41):
That's really what he was saying.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
Oh big times. He was trying to get his son
in there.
Speaker 11 (24:47):
No, yeah, and listen, nobody argues there's more talent on Auburn,
and nobody argues by the way that they played a
much tougher schedule. And you know what I would say, guys,
bigger pictures, we get closer to this bracket two Sundays
from now. You know, I do think the committee has
defaulted the last couple of years too much. Digest a
spreadsheet with a bunch of analytics on it, and basically
(25:10):
they take away all the human elements and common sense.
And I do understand that there has to be ways
to determine who's good and who's bad, and who's playing
tough schedules and who's not. But when you get to
a situation like Auburn is, where they're fifteen and fourteen,
one game above five hundred, I don't care how tough
the schedule is. Got to win more games than they
have won, and especially of late, they've lost to some
(25:31):
pretty bad teams as well.
Speaker 7 (25:33):
Aaron, let me ask you this. This is to me
just some more of an interesting thing. I look at
the NBA, but it starts, of course, with college ball,
and I feel like maybe it's the age, Maybe because
I have the same age as some of these guys dads,
or at least.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
I watched their whole dad's whole career.
Speaker 7 (25:48):
It seems like we have so many NBA sons indy
their college ranks right now headed to the NBA or currently.
Speaker 4 (25:56):
In the NBA.
Speaker 7 (25:56):
I look at a guy like Cam and obviously his
brother Kayden bou right, you got, of course Bryce and Bronnie.
You had Elijah Renis, who looks like he might be
really good, Andrea Gudalad the seconds at Bay. I mean,
I can go down the list pages. Stoyakovich's son andre
Is is a good player. You got the Pippins. My
point is, what are this exploded? And it seems like
(26:18):
I don't remember it being like this fifteen years twenty
five years ago.
Speaker 11 (26:23):
You know, it's funny. I've actually thought about that too,
is like, and you know, maybe it's because we were
kids and so we weren't really cognizant of whose son
was who's But I don't really remember it quite like
this either.
Speaker 4 (26:34):
Now.
Speaker 11 (26:34):
What I do think is kind of interesting, this is
kind of a broader cultural thing, is that as basketball
has become more AAU and flind cross country and all that,
I do think there's kind of a conversation about and
I hope I'm not offending anyone by kind of, you know,
framing it in this way, but it feels like it's
becoming kind of a two parents, you know, sport where
(26:56):
you need two parents, rich kids.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (26:59):
I hope that doesn't offend anybody.
Speaker 4 (27:01):
That's the truth.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Yeah, and so, but that's what's happening.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
That's what happened in baseball with all great with all
the showcases, and you have to if you don't pay
a thousand dollars for the weekend for the showcase, you
can't you can't be seen like it became a rich,
rich kid sport.
Speaker 11 (27:19):
It's crazy. No, it's crazy. And I think that speaks
to it. You know. I think obviously, you know, kids
being in the locker room and all that helps, but
I think that's part of it. And you guys know,
I mean, you guys know people around sports. What's crazy
to me? And admittedly I don't have any children, but
you know these kids Now it's not just the travel
like Rob just said, but you know, these kids have
personal trainers at you know, twelve thirteen fourteen that you know,
(27:42):
no startiasm, they have dietitians, they have you know, massuses,
and I'm not saying every single player does, but it
is crazy how quickly that has changed. And I do
think that has played a role into your point, Kelvin.
The sons of these prominent NBA players that you know,
just have access to some things that maybe the average
kid doesn't.
Speaker 7 (28:03):
It makes sense, right then they can fund their way
to becoming good.
Speaker 5 (28:06):
Let me let me ask you this.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
Aaron coach K said, Cameron Boozer is the best duke
freshman ever.
Speaker 5 (28:14):
Where are you on that?
Speaker 3 (28:15):
Is that? Do you need context with that the way
college basketball is compared to the past or is that
a true statement?
Speaker 5 (28:24):
Without even blinking?
Speaker 11 (28:26):
It's crazy. I actually hadn't even seen that quote, so
you know, I need to get on my p's and
q's here. But you know what I would say is
Boozer is basically about the most automatic twenty to ten
college player you know, maybe not ever, but certainly as
a freshman that I ever remember. And you know, and
I think as we get into the draft conversations and
(28:47):
stuff like, even compared to Cooper Flag, like, I don't
think he has the upside of what Cooper Flag could
potentially be. But you just talk about a guy who
night in and night out just delivers every single night.
I actually don't really remember very many freshmen like that.
And I'll say this, I mean, you even go back
to last year as soon as Cooper Flagg was there
(29:08):
were other guys in the conversation for National Player of
the Year into the final week or two, cam Boozer
just kind of took it and he's just run with it.
He's been mister consistent duke record wise, actually has a
better record right now than they did this time last year,
and so I give him a ton of credit before
we go, by the way, I just got to say this,
and I know I'm all over the place, but were
(29:29):
you guys as offended? Because I'm thinking about this because
obviously Camboose is going to be a lottery pick. A
lot of people are projecting him to the Atlanta Hawks.
Were you guys as taken aback with the Atlanta Hawks
stealing Magic City Monday from you guys? As I was,
I was curious when I saw that, I'm not gonna lie, guys,
I'm not gonna I was ready to act. Said, where
do I got to sign the petition to get this
(29:51):
thing banned? Because the Odds couple's been all over this
for probably seven or eight years now.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
Yeah, for a long time, but it's always been a
thing down there in Atlanta, and we we're like, I know,
the son the.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
Joy on his face, boy, Aaron.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
I look at no, no, no, you know I've been
there a million times. I've been going there since the nineties.
But uh, you know a lot of people are pushing back.
They're not a lot, but their people pushing back on it.
And I don't think it's appropriate, and I'm cool with it.
Speaker 5 (30:18):
I think it.
Speaker 7 (30:19):
Uh, I'm not sure you're going to help put it together.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
They sold out the place like overnight, right, didn't it
Kelvin in one day on.
Speaker 4 (30:28):
The fastest sellouts ever.
Speaker 11 (30:29):
Yeah, that's like, like, who is it? Alexander Graham Bell
saying I'm cool with the the light bulb. Yeah, you
invented it.
Speaker 7 (30:36):
Of course, you remember Rob Stopping, they called you. You
were a board member, you were the deciding vote.
Speaker 5 (30:44):
It'll be very very interested in the sea.
Speaker 11 (30:47):
Yeah, I'm cool with this computer.
Speaker 12 (30:50):
Yeah you invented it.
Speaker 11 (30:51):
Yeah, I mean, yeah, of course you got to take
credit for it. So now I saw that, and Rob
g Will says this, I immediately texted him. I know
you guys have probably even seen it before I did.
But you know, you guys are innovators. No one ever
said the eye couple, you know, not innovators.
Speaker 4 (31:04):
So I give you guys I appreciate it. Man, We
appreciate it. Brother, Thank you so much.
Speaker 7 (31:09):
Yeah, Rob's still gonna find a way to get down there,
have a face talking about it.
Speaker 4 (31:12):
He has Jerry duty. I don't buy it.
Speaker 5 (31:14):
I have Jewry duty. That's right.
Speaker 7 (31:15):
Yeah, I bet it is. You're gonna be judging all right,
Thank you, man, appreciated it, all right.
Speaker 11 (31:21):
Guy, thank you so much. We'll talk to you guys.
Speaker 7 (31:23):
Thanks, no doubt, no doubt, if if how much did
you consider skipping Jerry duty?
Speaker 5 (31:30):
No, I can't this one.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
I can't because I've already like exhausted all your experience. Yeah,
they told me very sternly on the phone, you gotta
be at this one like you.
Speaker 5 (31:42):
That's what That's what she was like. Okay, I look
on your record.
Speaker 4 (31:46):
You wear ready in four or five.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
Yes, she was like, no, and that's spring break from USC.
So if it's a week, then I'm gonna do it,
you know what I mean? Like, because I was like, well,
I teach and I don't want to miss class and
all that, and I said that it's the spring break week,
and she said, okay, this is it. You guys gotta
be that week. And of course I'll go through all
that and then they won't call me.
Speaker 7 (32:08):
Watch you won't be there the whole time now, but
never mind you you can go home like I did.
Speaker 4 (32:12):
I'll have to beat here all day just to never
get used.

some quick context, I'm a twenty eight year old fun
Mexican from here in LA.
Speaker 10 (35:34):
The first time I heard my uncle Rob Parker on
the radio, I thought he was a white guy from Boxton.

Speaker 3 (01:47):
Coming up Aaron Torres, of course, the Fox Sports Radio
weekend host and the host of the Aaron Torres podcast.
Speaker 5 (01:56):
Plus a little less call. So we got a lot
to get to.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
An hour number three, Rob Ge, we had another. We
thought we were done with these pd suspension in Major
League Baseball. The rules have been set. They're pretty steep.
One time you get a strike in eighty games, another
time you get eight one hundred and sixty two games
and narratives.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
We have another.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Person in the in the Major League Baseball being suspended.
Speaker 5 (02:27):
That's right tough scene for Braves.
Speaker 6 (02:29):
D h Jerkson Profar who at one point was considered
the new hotness in Major League baseb. He was, I mean,
for real, he was going to be the guy, the
next phenom, the next Twan Soto, the next I mean
seing another.
Speaker 5 (02:42):
Guy who has popped for peds. Your guy in San Diego,
Robertod'tis Junior, who was the face of baseball. I mean
like he Profar was gonna be one of those ones.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
You weren't here, Calvin, But that was they said, I
had to judge terrible man crush on Tatis.
Speaker 6 (03:00):
Profar, who already last year was suspended eighty games for
testing positive for a PED, tested positive again for another
peg les year right less than a year, which means
he is now subject to a one hundred and sixty
two game suspension by Major League Baseball. He will forfeit
the entirety of his fifteen million dollars salary. He'll be
(03:23):
ineligible for the postseason. He'll also be ineligible for the
upcoming World Baseball Classic. All bad, all the time for Profar.
But guys, it got me thinking. We just mentioned two
guys who were both up and coming in major the
baseball Profar Tatsis Junior got pop for pds and in
the case of Profar is basically gonna derail his entire career,
(03:44):
like that's gonna be his calling card now forever. Tatis
Junior was on a trajectory to be one of those ones,
and now he's kind of an afterthought, partly because he
does a positive PEDS and now there's always gonna be
a little asterisk next to his name.
Speaker 5 (03:57):
And as good as he's been since he came back,
nobody viewed him in the same way. They don't view
them the same way. He doesn't get the juice. He
just got the juice.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
Juice, what you mean?
Speaker 5 (04:10):
You know what I mean? So guys, let me ask
you this question.
Speaker 6 (04:16):
PD use even though it's been less prevalent now because
number one, you know, guys are smarter, and number two,
they're the science is ahead of the testing at this point.
Like the you can get a lot of things without
getting caught. And that's been the way for a while.
But one thing we've noticed is if you play baseball
and you get popped, it hangs over your head forever. Hell,
(04:38):
if you don't even get popped, you're just alleged to
us because we've got guys who are you forever. However,
you play NBA, shout out, Paul George. You play in
the NFL. Nobody seems to really care too much. Why
is that, Rob Parker?
Speaker 3 (04:54):
That's a great question. I think baseball's held to a
higher standard. It really is, And I think a lot
of has to do with the numbers like that when
the home run record was broken, that was a sacred number.
There aren't that many sacred numbers in football or basketball, right, There.
Speaker 5 (05:10):
Really aren't like not a number.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
You could be like Lebron has the all time scored
the most points, but there's no number. Hank Aaron seven
hundred and fifty five home runs meant something to people, right,
And I think that that's where the numbers in baseball
matter so much that people were like, oh my god,
they ruined what I used to know as you know
(05:33):
that home run number and now it's tanked it and
the guy who has the all time home run record
shouldn't be looked at at sideways. And I think that's
part of it. Do I think it's fair? No, I
don't think it's fair because just like Rob g mentioned Kelvin,
Paul George is fresh off of it and in Philadelphia
they're just waiting for him to get back, like Okay,
(05:57):
nobody's gonna look at him crazy or say do we
really want him on the team?
Speaker 5 (06:01):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (06:02):
The Sixers, should we really count if they make a playoff?
Run because he was on None of that conversation happens
at all with Paul George.
Speaker 7 (06:14):
Here's a couple of reasons why baseball allowed steroids to
run rampant and enjoyed the success of it. So to me,
what they did was they paired themselves with it. Rob
they intertwined themselves with it.
Speaker 5 (06:28):
You mean like he ain't gambling, Okay, go ahead, I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
Well, and that could become a thing eventually.
Speaker 7 (06:32):
But right now, with the steroids, when you looked at baseball,
we saw the resurgence of the popularity. We know, the
summer of ninety eight, the home run chase. Fast forward
a couple of years later, you got two or three
years of Barry Bonds. Everybody knows what's going on. We're
trying to turn a blind eye, but act like.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
We don't know.
Speaker 7 (06:47):
And so to me, when baseball by not nicking Nixon
in in the butt, you know, stopping it, what they
allowed to do was to get intertwined, wrapped up together.
So now you think steroids, you think baseball, you think runs.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
Going out of the park. Right, Barry Bonds is hitting
him just in it.
Speaker 7 (07:03):
I know he's never been caught, yuilt whatever, positive, never suspended,
but we're seeing him hitting him in the in the
cove regularly, like that's just not normal the rate he
was doing it right, And then you see, we already
know Sammy so so, we already know Mark uh uh, Markguire.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
So on and so forth.
Speaker 7 (07:20):
Jose can Sego came out, was like man, everybody was
stabbing each other in the butt. So I think baseball
again became the poster child for it.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
When we we just again it was interwoven with the.
Speaker 7 (07:30):
With steroids, home runs baseball, you see it kind of
they go hand in hand.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
I don't have a correlation with NBA.
Speaker 7 (07:39):
Like if Paul George was doing steroids, I don't know
what it made them better?
Speaker 4 (07:43):
You know what I don't. I don't have it.
Speaker 7 (07:44):
I don't know what it did, and I'm not saying
it doesn't. We don't have something we naturally correlated to.
So it's like, hey, Steph, courage the steroids is like,
I don't know, did they make um shoot better?
Speaker 4 (07:54):
I don't know, Paul, I'm just making them just saying that.
People just use that as example.
Speaker 7 (07:57):
So when Paul George gets busted for you can there's
nothing identifiable that made him better. And I think that's
why we don't look at it the same football. I
think there's just an inherent you just figured these dudes
are the most tough Neanderthra running into each other body slamming.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
If they found out there on stories, you kind of go, well,
that makes sense.
Speaker 7 (08:17):
You're slamming two hundred and fifty pound three hundred pound
men slamming into each other for three and a half hours.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
That makes sense.
Speaker 7 (08:24):
And then finally, I think the only other sports we
do do the same with baseball.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
I would say cycling and I would say track.
Speaker 7 (08:32):
I think those two sports we do the same with baseball, like, well,
we kind of expect it, but I will say again,
we don't care because it's for our entertainment purpose.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
But here, but here's the thing.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Even in the NFL, Antonio Gates is in the Hall
of Fame, right busted, Like it didn't make people not
want to vote for him.
Speaker 7 (08:54):
Because logically it makes sense. We go, well, I mean, yeah,
it's hard, it's god no.
Speaker 5 (08:58):
What people get suspended for us hard? It doesn't make
sense with.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
You the legislation of it, But logically we go.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
Julian Edoman with the Patriots, right, I don't look at
him and think of the juice. But he got busted.
People are talking about this. He deserved to get in
the Hall of Fame. Uh, Patrick Peterson, DeAndre Hopkins.
Speaker 7 (09:20):
Even our guys, two guys who were going, Patrick Peterson
and DeAndrea going in.
Speaker 5 (09:24):
Uh Sean Merriman at one point.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
I remember that year he got popped and then he
was up for Defensive Player of the Year.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
Do you remember that?
Speaker 5 (09:34):
Remember that?
Speaker 3 (09:35):
Like it was Yeah, after he got off, you know,
off of suspension.
Speaker 5 (09:39):
And it's just weird because.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
There were other guys who have gotten busted in the NBA.
I think it's more prevalent than people want to admit.
And you can't really I would agree speculate, I do.
I think there are people who else? Was it somebody else?
Rob g There was a guy was it with Shard
Lewis from the Magic?
Speaker 6 (09:57):
We have current guys Paul George this season, Bobby port
Is last season, Tristan Thompson washed out of the league
after he tested positive, John Collins currently with the Clippers,
and DeAndre Ayton.
Speaker 5 (10:10):
It was a diarmitic it wasn't.
Speaker 7 (10:13):
So can I so let me tell you, Let me
tell you why Rob. When you look at that list,
that Rob's lame name was there an All Star on there?
Speaker 5 (10:23):
I mean ultimate, it's a bigger name right now.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
What I mean aside from Paul Jordan.
Speaker 7 (10:30):
What I mean is like, that's the difference when you
talk baseball. If we're someone says again, Barry Bonds, we
know he didn't test Roger Kleman. You're talking about maybe
top three picture marks, one of the best hitters, Barry
Bonds arguably in the category, best player ever, Alex Rodriguez
(10:50):
arguably in the best player category of the last thirty years.
So you're naming great and that's why it became bigger.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
If you started rolling off Steph.
Speaker 5 (10:59):
Kerr, you honest Lebron telling me something.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
I just said. If you're throwing out.
Speaker 7 (11:05):
Some guys, yo, kid, you know Kawhi Leonard and and
and and you know Chris Paul, then you might be like,
oh shoot, because you got you can see the results.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
Roger, just name the bust of guys we actually are
mad at because we want more from So you know
what I mean?
Speaker 7 (11:21):
The other a ges yo that can at least be
click Capella.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
They're not.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
They're not the household names.
Speaker 6 (11:31):
But he'll turl you mentioned for Charle Lewis, Darius almost Hem.
Speaker 5 (11:36):
You know, is the key player in the finals. Even Man,
don't you remember when they beat up but they.
Speaker 7 (11:42):
Stopped spect on his nay, stopped the stopped the Kobe
le Lebron final.
Speaker 6 (11:46):
That was he he dude, Kirk and what a turk
glue man, I'm here here's one. This wasn't a PD
but they said it was a man shout out to
Chris Webber.
Speaker 5 (11:54):
See well, I don't know. I think you might have
been the weed on that time, but like they're weed
been guy.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
Furthering my voice.
Speaker 7 (12:03):
He was a perfectly fine, good role player, like he
could play on my team.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
He was good. I liked him.
Speaker 7 (12:08):
He ain't Mary Bonds, Roger Clemments, Alex Rodriguez, David Big Poppy.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
Who I mean, come on, are you kidding me?
Speaker 7 (12:19):
Like, look at the list of people, Manny Ramirez, like,
come on, bro, Andy Pettitt, come on, and these of
the guys just.
Speaker 5 (12:28):
So that's that's all that matters.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
But to me, it would be like those guys were
already good before they got on the juice as well.
Speaker 7 (12:35):
So what I'm saying those are names and and and
again I can associate it. People will go, well, Roger Clemens,
he must've threw it harder. They'll go clearly, Mark, Mark
McGuire and Sammy Jones are blasting it out the park.
You know, I don't know what that did for he
Dow Turkulu. I don't know what that did for DeAndre Ayton.
Whatever it is, don't do the opposite. Never do steroids.
(12:58):
You might be better. So that that's my point. You
there's a correlation with baseball where I can go, oh,
he did.
Speaker 5 (13:04):
That, sociated name recognition and their.
Speaker 7 (13:07):
Status, and yeah, in a correlation correlation to me, he
did that.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
He hit a bunch of home runs.
Speaker 7 (13:13):
David Big Poppy hit a bunch before, but he ain't
hit it like that once, you know, once we started
to see it. Mannys was always good, but man, he
started to hit harder.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
Roger Cleinins was heck of a pitcher. Boy, He's throwing
it harder.
Speaker 7 (13:28):
So I think the correlation along with the numbers, I
do agree the numbers is huge, right, You're you're chasing
these historical numbers.
Speaker 5 (13:34):
I do believe the numbers has.
Speaker 3 (13:37):

hoops with him as well, plus Lasco coming up.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
At the end of the hour eight seven seven ninety
nine on Fox.
Speaker 7 (15:30):
Rob Gi threw out a great question, which is why
do we maybe associate MLB and pds and it gets
the scrutiny for pds more than any other sport. Let's
take some calls eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
Who we got?
Speaker 3 (15:44):
All right, let's start with Brandon in Seattle. You're on
the odd couple of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 5 (15:50):
What's up, B? How are you?
Speaker 8 (15:52):
How's it going?
Speaker 5 (15:53):
Rob?
Speaker 4 (15:54):
Great?
Speaker 9 (15:55):
Calvin?
Speaker 4 (15:56):
What's up? B?
Speaker 8 (15:58):
I heard you put a swing on Twitter or something
that I have to analyze from me? Yeah, did you
get did you take a baseball swing or something the
other day?
Speaker 10 (16:08):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (16:08):
Wasn't the other day?
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (16:09):
That's update at that.
Speaker 8 (16:12):
Yeah, I heard about that to the great. Yeah, we'll
put a little comment there for you, but uh yeah,
I think when it comes to baseball, just the longevity
of the sport, you know, the age of it. You know,
like you were saying, the numbers they're so individualistic, and
like Kelvin was saying, you know, like there's a correlation
(16:33):
to performance, and so it was like, well, we you know,
I guess the old heads would be like, the kids
aren't getting bigger, stronger and faster. You know, they've been
saying this like back in the nineteen fifties that was
like the new crop, you know, Mickey Mannle and all
those guys, and they still couldn't top you know, Babe Ruth,
and they kept bringing the fences in and then lowering
(16:55):
the mound and everything. But steroids were one thing where
it's like we couldn't analyze you through the generations as
a natural boy.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
But here's my pushback, and I'm just gonna be for
to pick out three or four hitters and say they're
the worst thing, when if you go and do your
research and look at it, more pictures have been busted
on the juice. So oftentimes they're also facing guys who
are using the same stuff. And I'm not saying it's
(17:26):
exact numbers, Kelvin.
Speaker 5 (17:27):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
But it ain't just the hitters. No, I'm not saying
it that makes it right or wrong. But it's not
like the only people we seem to want to crucify
or the home run hitters. And what I'm saying is
their pictures are using it too.
Speaker 8 (17:45):
Yeah, it's a Kelvin's point. I think it's possible that
the power that steroids gives you is more correlated to
hating rather than Oh I disagree.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
I think it's more about recovery. That's what a lot.
Speaker 7 (18:00):
I don't disagree, but I think what the common person
thinks of the common person thinks of the summer of
ninety eight, they get it.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
Mark, you know what I mean. Like you and I
can talk this because you.
Speaker 7 (18:09):
Know you can dive a little deeper, right, But I
average person just thinks steroids home runs.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
No, I get it, Brandon, Thank you, my man. We
appreciate the call. Thanks for checking in. Andre Dre in Massachusetts.
You're in the odd couple of Fox Sports Radio. What's
going on in the Commonwealth?
Speaker 11 (18:27):
How you doing thanks for taking a call.
Speaker 9 (18:29):
We are digging ourselves out from the blizzard of twenty
twenty six.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
Is it's going well.
Speaker 9 (18:33):
We got a little bit of rain, so the snow
is starting to melt and we can we can get out,
very good move around, you know, get ready for the
baseball season. But I got to cocur with the previous caller.
I think the reason it means more in baseball is
because the record book is still sacred, right Sixty home
runs mean something, three thousand strikeouts, seven hundred and fourteen
home run It's the last professional sport where the Hall.
Speaker 11 (18:55):
Of Fame still has that.
Speaker 9 (18:57):
Standard, that golden that gold standard. It's not the blissy
wing for the league as it is in the NBA.
But it's tricky in baseball because there's a complicity in
the steroid era with the game itself. Meaning the steroid
era came after the strike in ninety five and people
moving away from baseball large and the LEA organization saying
(19:18):
we kind of need something to kind of get people back,
get people excited. That Mark maguire, Sammy Sosa situations. By
the way, baseball needs to avoid a lockout right now, Okay,
so you can keep the moment.
Speaker 5 (19:28):
Reagree with that.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
Me and Calvin a both on that where it is,
I get it, I get the numbers and whatnot. It's
just funny that like Paul George will get zero smoke,
like like it didn't even happen.
Speaker 7 (19:42):
I agree with that. Average person they don't.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
Even know it. They don't exactly They like, oh, yeah.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
He's on his knee, it's messed up. No, no, it's
not his knee. It's not his knee. It's steroids or
well pdd.
Speaker 5 (19:54):
I agree with you.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
I bet you most don't even know there's a scandal
or or a juice scandal. You say baseball, Oh, Barry bonds,
Roger plummets.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
But you brought up a great point, rob.
Speaker 7 (20:06):
Why I think gambling could be more impactful with the
NBA is because again especially with prop bets, like maybe
not more, but why it could attach it so because
you can see the co correlation. Oh, guy's missing shots
or not taking shots, or you know, man, he shot
twelve threes in the first half. That's a little unusual
for him, Like you can see that again with basketball.
(20:28):
I don't know what steroids. I literally I don't whether
to make you post up board and make you dumb fast.
I don't know, and I think that's the core I
think where people have some issues with.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
All Right, we got air torres.
Speaker 7 (20:38):
Coming up in just a second, right now, Steve de
Seger gonna get you updated.

Speaker 5 (21:03):

Speaker 3 (21:04):
Three and oh tonight on Shekel City. If you remember,
I took Washington plus fifteen and a half.
Speaker 5 (21:14):
They lost one twenty six to one oh nine.
Speaker 7 (21:17):
So there you go, right, that's fifteen and a half
way you picked the Oh wait, hold on, that's sixteen points.
Speaker 6 (21:26):
What.
Speaker 5 (21:26):
Wait a minute, that's what eight? That's wait a minute,
two and one. You're wrong.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
Back, Wait a minute, Wait a minute, make it back, Wait.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
A minute, Wait a minute. I had Charlotte minus thirteen
and a half. They won big, right, they won by
and then I had the Pistons. I mean I had
Cleveland plus two and a half. They beat the Pistons,
and are you serious? I looked at the score, got
too excited and.
Speaker 4 (21:59):
I'm too excited.
Speaker 5 (22:01):
You did it too, Okay, okay, I'm still good.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
Though you did.
Speaker 5 (22:05):
I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 7 (22:06):
You stopped the show for three and oh and it
wasn't that. You just took like a minute and a
half from our guy joining us right now, Man, that's
all right, eron Torres, our guest right now, Aaron, I'm sorry.
Speaker 5 (22:17):
I was Aaron.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
I got fifteen and a half points and they lose
by seventeen, and I just looked at the school.
Speaker 5 (22:23):
I was like, oh, they covered that, and I looked
at it. Its the Kelvin thank you.
Speaker 11 (22:27):
You can get a journalism degree at Southern Connecticut. I
don't know if they attraction there though.
Speaker 7 (22:33):
You know.
Speaker 11 (22:35):
What.
Speaker 5 (22:36):
Hey, hey, Aaron, they're up.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
They're up at the press box taking my name down
because I can't right down.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
He got us looking bad on a national show. Let
me pull his name down.
Speaker 11 (22:45):
Hey, let me let me ask you a question in Kelvin,
maybe you can help me with this. So during football,
Rob Parker told me that Indiana couldn't be a Cinderella
because they have nil. So does that fly to Miami
of Ohio two? Are they just another team that pays
their players? Are they? Are they actually a feel good
story now that they're thirty and Oh.
Speaker 7 (23:05):
Listen, first of all, I told him, but even with Indiana,
I don't give a dack if they're paying somebody. Everybody
else been paying everybody for that game.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Miami in Ohio are paying the money that Indiana paid.
I'll tell you that that's true.
Speaker 11 (23:17):
That's you're just giving you. I mean, you got your
press box taken away. I should stop giving your heart exactly?
Speaker 5 (23:23):
Can you do that? We appreciate it? All good? All right,
let's start with Bruce Pearl. Let's start there.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
I just, I mean really like he's saying a twenty
nine and old team at that point, now thirty and
zero still needs to win their conference in order to
get into the tournament with a sixty eighteen field.
Speaker 5 (23:43):
I thought that was very harsh on Miami of Ohio.
Speaker 11 (23:48):
Yeah, and obviously the caveat I know, you guys know,
but for the audience is that, of course, you know,
his son duck over a team that is I don't
even think they're on the bubble at this point. I
think they have to win out they being Auburn, and
then do some damage in their conference tournament. And I
do think for all the noise, Miami of Ohio probably
(24:10):
is in at this point. I mean, thirty regular season wins,
I don't think they're going to be left out. But
to your point, Rob, I do think you know all
the sarcasm aside, I think it's a good one. I
think it's a bad look for Verus Burrow. I know
he's paid to be an analyst, but in this specific situation,
we all know what's going on, right and exactly you
know where I'm going with this.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
He was putting out there for the committee that a
team like Auburn, despite not having the record, is still
better on any given day, right than Miami of Ohio.
Speaker 5 (24:41):
That's really what he was saying.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
Oh big times. He was trying to get his son
in there.
Speaker 11 (24:47):
No, yeah, and listen, nobody argues there's more talent on Auburn,
and nobody argues by the way that they played a
much tougher schedule. And you know what I would say, guys,
bigger pictures, we get closer to this bracket two Sundays
from now. You know, I do think the committee has
defaulted the last couple of years too much. Digest a
spreadsheet with a bunch of analytics on it, and basically
(25:10):
they take away all the human elements and common sense.
And I do understand that there has to be ways
to determine who's good and who's bad, and who's playing
tough schedules and who's not. But when you get to
a situation like Auburn is, where they're fifteen and fourteen,
one game above five hundred, I don't care how tough
the schedule is. Got to win more games than they
have won, and especially of late, they've lost to some
(25:31):
pretty bad teams as well.
Speaker 7 (25:33):
Aaron, let me ask you this. This is to me
just some more of an interesting thing. I look at
the NBA, but it starts, of course, with college ball,
and I feel like maybe it's the age, Maybe because
I have the same age as some of these guys dads,
or at least.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
I watched their whole dad's whole career.
Speaker 7 (25:48):
It seems like we have so many NBA sons indy
their college ranks right now headed to the NBA or currently.
Speaker 4 (25:56):
In the NBA.
Speaker 7 (25:56):
I look at a guy like Cam and obviously his
brother Kayden bou right, you got, of course Bryce and Bronnie.
You had Elijah Renis, who looks like he might be
really good, Andrea Gudalad the seconds at Bay. I mean,
I can go down the list pages. Stoyakovich's son andre
Is is a good player. You got the Pippins. My
point is, what are this exploded? And it seems like
(26:18):
I don't remember it being like this fifteen years twenty
five years ago.
Speaker 11 (26:23):
You know, it's funny. I've actually thought about that too,
is like, and you know, maybe it's because we were
kids and so we weren't really cognizant of whose son
was who's But I don't really remember it quite like
this either.
Speaker 4 (26:34):
Now.
Speaker 11 (26:34):
What I do think is kind of interesting, this is
kind of a broader cultural thing, is that as basketball
has become more AAU and flind cross country and all that,
I do think there's kind of a conversation about and
I hope I'm not offending anyone by kind of, you know,
framing it in this way, but it feels like it's
becoming kind of a two parents, you know, sport where
(26:56):
you need two parents, rich kids.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (26:59):
I hope that doesn't offend anybody.
Speaker 4 (27:01):
That's the truth.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Yeah, and so, but that's what's happening.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
That's what happened in baseball with all great with all
the showcases, and you have to if you don't pay
a thousand dollars for the weekend for the showcase, you
can't you can't be seen like it became a rich,
rich kid sport.
Speaker 11 (27:19):
It's crazy. No, it's crazy. And I think that speaks
to it. You know. I think obviously, you know, kids
being in the locker room and all that helps, but
I think that's part of it. And you guys know,
I mean, you guys know people around sports. What's crazy
to me? And admittedly I don't have any children, but
you know these kids Now it's not just the travel
like Rob just said, but you know, these kids have
personal trainers at you know, twelve thirteen fourteen that you know,
(27:42):
no startiasm, they have dietitians, they have you know, massuses,
and I'm not saying every single player does, but it
is crazy how quickly that has changed. And I do
think that has played a role into your point, Kelvin.
The sons of these prominent NBA players that you know,
just have access to some things that maybe the average
kid doesn't.
Speaker 7 (28:03):
It makes sense, right then they can fund their way
to becoming good.
Speaker 5 (28:06):
Let me let me ask you this.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
Aaron coach K said, Cameron Boozer is the best duke
freshman ever.
Speaker 5 (28:14):
Where are you on that?
Speaker 3 (28:15):
Is that? Do you need context with that the way
college basketball is compared to the past or is that
a true statement?
Speaker 5 (28:24):
Without even blinking?
Speaker 11 (28:26):
It's crazy. I actually hadn't even seen that quote, so
you know, I need to get on my p's and
q's here. But you know what I would say is
Boozer is basically about the most automatic twenty to ten
college player you know, maybe not ever, but certainly as
a freshman that I ever remember. And you know, and
I think as we get into the draft conversations and
(28:47):
stuff like, even compared to Cooper Flag, like, I don't
think he has the upside of what Cooper Flag could
potentially be. But you just talk about a guy who
night in and night out just delivers every single night.
I actually don't really remember very many freshmen like that.
And I'll say this, I mean, you even go back
to last year as soon as Cooper Flagg was there
(29:08):
were other guys in the conversation for National Player of
the Year into the final week or two, cam Boozer
just kind of took it and he's just run with it.
He's been mister consistent duke record wise, actually has a
better record right now than they did this time last year,
and so I give him a ton of credit before
we go, by the way, I just got to say this,
and I know I'm all over the place, but were
(29:29):
you guys as offended? Because I'm thinking about this because
obviously Camboose is going to be a lottery pick. A
lot of people are projecting him to the Atlanta Hawks.
Were you guys as taken aback with the Atlanta Hawks
stealing Magic City Monday from you guys? As I was,
I was curious when I saw that, I'm not gonna lie, guys,
I'm not gonna I was ready to act. Said, where
do I got to sign the petition to get this
(29:51):
thing banned? Because the Odds couple's been all over this
for probably seven or eight years now.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
Yeah, for a long time, but it's always been a
thing down there in Atlanta, and we we're like, I know,
the son the.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
Joy on his face, boy, Aaron.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
I look at no, no, no, you know I've been
there a million times. I've been going there since the nineties.
But uh, you know a lot of people are pushing back.
They're not a lot, but their people pushing back on it.
And I don't think it's appropriate, and I'm cool with it.
Speaker 5 (30:18):
I think it.
Speaker 7 (30:19):
Uh, I'm not sure you're going to help put it together.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
They sold out the place like overnight, right, didn't it
Kelvin in one day on.
Speaker 4 (30:28):
The fastest sellouts ever.
Speaker 11 (30:29):
Yeah, that's like, like, who is it? Alexander Graham Bell
saying I'm cool with the the light bulb. Yeah, you
invented it.
Speaker 7 (30:36):
Of course, you remember Rob Stopping, they called you. You
were a board member, you were the deciding vote.
Speaker 5 (30:44):
It'll be very very interested in the sea.
Speaker 11 (30:47):
Yeah, I'm cool with this computer.
Speaker 12 (30:50):
Yeah you invented it.
Speaker 11 (30:51):
Yeah, I mean, yeah, of course you got to take
credit for it. So now I saw that, and Rob
g Will says this, I immediately texted him. I know
you guys have probably even seen it before I did.
But you know, you guys are innovators. No one ever
said the eye couple, you know, not innovators.
Speaker 4 (31:04):
So I give you guys I appreciate it. Man, We
appreciate it. Brother, Thank you so much.
Speaker 7 (31:09):
Yeah, Rob's still gonna find a way to get down there,
have a face talking about it.
Speaker 4 (31:12):
He has Jerry duty. I don't buy it.
Speaker 5 (31:14):
I have Jewry duty. That's right.
Speaker 7 (31:15):
Yeah, I bet it is. You're gonna be judging all right,
Thank you, man, appreciated it, all right.
Speaker 11 (31:21):
Guy, thank you so much. We'll talk to you guys.
Speaker 7 (31:23):
Thanks, no doubt, no doubt, if if how much did
you consider skipping Jerry duty?
Speaker 5 (31:30):
No, I can't this one.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
I can't because I've already like exhausted all your experience. Yeah,
they told me very sternly on the phone, you gotta
be at this one like you.
Speaker 5 (31:42):
That's what That's what she was like. Okay, I look
on your record.
Speaker 4 (31:46):
You wear ready in four or five.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
Yes, she was like, no, and that's spring break from USC.
So if it's a week, then I'm gonna do it,
you know what I mean? Like, because I was like, well,
I teach and I don't want to miss class and
all that, and I said that it's the spring break week,
and she said, okay, this is it. You guys gotta
be that week. And of course I'll go through all
that and then they won't call me.
Speaker 7 (32:08):
Watch you won't be there the whole time now, but
never mind you you can go home like I did.
Speaker 4 (32:12):
I'll have to beat here all day just to never
get used.
