Speaker 1 (00:00):
I'm going along with Shammy.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
That's gonna be hot on the story of the day.
Speaker 1 (00:04):
Plus it's warm. No, it's Sammy Long. Welcome back, everybody
to going along with me. Sammy Long and a very
special guest if you're on the stream, Frank E. V
from Channel ninety three to three jumping on. This man
is more radio than anyone in the entire cluster and
(00:28):
was cool enough to come on back in in person.
So what's up, dude? How you doing?
Speaker 3 (00:31):
I'm good When I got to text some seven long
saying hey, do you want to pop on and talk
some sports with me for a few minutes. This is
not work, this is this is pure pleasure on a
I always say Wednesday, Wednesday afternoon.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Let's go for sure, man, I seriously thank you so
much for coming in. We got a lot to get
to today. So Patter's finished off a nice little road
trip four and two. We got some Draymond Green sound.
We're gonna get to it a little bit about tanking
in the NBA, but I gotta start off with you.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Talk to me.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
You do a show in Boston. I do what's the
panic level for the Red Sox.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Man, It's it's frustrating, I'll tell you that much. I
don't know if there's a panic level.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Ye.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
Actually, I do feel like the Red Sox are like
the Dodgers, like the Yankees. You figure it out, you
got a budget to work with, that things can happen.
I know that there's some chance to sell the team
and other things that were being said in Family Park,
which you never want to hear because obviously big Red
Sox fan, big everything with that. So first question, what's
the panic level. I think it's not high yet, but
it's getting there. But I do think they are a
team because of the passion, because of the pockets they
(01:29):
do have.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
They'll get a figured out.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
There is something though, I like like to your point, yeah,
you were hearing sell the team and everything. It's a
little excessive a weekend in the season, But I do
like that mindset from sports cities. Boston has that, Philly
has that, New York has it. LA has it to
be fair to La where yes, people can go you're
a little too hard on the teams and they go
(01:52):
on a two game losing streak and the sky's falling.
But I would rather have that sometimes than some small
markets where it's don't say anything about it with the players,
Like I think a lot goes left on said because
of a lack of accountability. And I like that from Boston,
like Boston, whatever team. If the Celtics are going to
the championship and losing, that's a failure of a season.
(02:13):
It is.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
And it was just actually out to lunch of the
buddy and we're talking about this and the fact that
certain certain ballparks, certain games, like you lose, it's all good,
we just go party afterwards. If you lose, in your
Red Sox fan, you leave that Way Park and you
go home pissed off. Like, let's be serious, like you
don't you don't go home and party afterwards, to go
to the bars and lands out there that you go
straight home, say when the Celtics los, or even the Patriots,
(02:34):
so so, I do feel like it's a city that
you must win in and if you're not winning, I
mean they're they're terrible right now. They're the worst team
in baseball record wise. It's not a look that that city,
as a fan growing up with the Red Sox, wants
to see. But we've seen this before from Boston teams
from New York teams from LA teams. When this does happen,
they find a way to.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Spin things around.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
What was your as a Boston sports fan? What was
your favorite dynacy he has been so many or playoff
like series win or championship win of any of the
sports for you personally.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Crazy thing is when I think about my favorite dynasty
for the for a boss's sports team, it brings me
back to my childhood. And I wasn't as now then
because I was much younger, But the Celtics of old.
We had Larry Bird, Kevin McHale, and Robert Parrish. So
someone about that, the old school basketball that they brought
to the table. I think that was my favorite. Errand again,
I was such a little kid at that point in
the time. I wish that was now so I could
(03:26):
understand it. So that's probably the one. But the other
one that we all talked about is a Patriots run
with Tom Brady and Belichick.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
You can't ever put that beside you.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
I know that everybody except for Patriots fans hated the
Patriots and it was kind of fun to be a
part of the inside circle of No, yeah, that's my
team and we are going to win another super Bowl.
Like we went into each season talk about if you
didn't win the Super Bowl, it was a failure for
a season. Some teams you make it to the playoffs, like, man,
we had a good season. The Patriots are at the
point where they didn't win that Super Bowl. It was
a failure of a season.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Right like this year, I think you look at Drake
May and the Patriots and go a kind of came
out out of nowhere, no one, no one expected. I
think people expected growth from Drake May and we're excited
for rookie year. Of course, I mean that was to
go to the Super Bowl. I don't think too many
people had that on their VINGO card. And then you
take the Patriots like to go through you know, I
know there was some fortunate with injuries against the Chargers
(04:15):
and Texans and Broncos, but that was impressive for a
young quarterback to be able to get through that. Where
do you see the patsat going in next year? Like
do you think it was a little bit I want
to call it a Fluke run, but because there was
a lot of injuries the other way, or do you
think Drake May is here to kind of take over
part of the AFC.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Two part answer that question.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
One, was it a fluke run semi like as a
huge Patriots fan, I will be honest, it was a
semi fluke. I mean they did have a lot of
stars on line through the season to get them there.
That being said, take nothing away from Drake May in
my mind, top three, top four quarterback in the league
right now is second year and he might be the
best quarterback in the NFL in a couple of years.
And that's not taken away from any other quarterback. But
(04:53):
what he showed with a team that in my mind
was an average team. I mean it wasn't the best
on paper team. Yeah, he played a great amount of
mature football for a kid that's in his early twenties.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
I also, it's so impressive how Drake May you look
at him in I mean, he didn't have that many
weapons like Kayshawan Boody kind of grew a little bit,
but he wasn't some top ten pick. He was the
guy who grew at LSU. And then Stefan Diggs has
the name of Stefan Diggs, but he's not what he
once was.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
When he's with the Bills, he's coming up the ACL injury,
so we didn't know what he was going to be.
And I think he had a great season because Drake
May helped him have a great season.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
There wasn't the other way around.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Are you of the There's been a lot of rumors
about them trying to get AJ.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Brown, see a lot of that.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Are you for that giving up a little picks in
the future to get a bona fide star or where
are you out with that?
Speaker 2 (05:41):
See?
Speaker 3 (05:42):
I get torn on that because I don't mind giving
up draft picks to get somebody, but it's not like
a J.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Brown is twenty one years old, that out of college, so
you don't want.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
To give up too much and then wonder why can't
we build that dynasty. However, I think at this point
in time, if you get a bonafide a plus wide
receiver like a J Brown for Dreg May, I do
think you give his confidence level a booth that could
actually make him a better quarterback down.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
The road to have that top not receiver.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
I was talking about this with Gino the other day,
who is we all know is a massive Raider fan
and will tell us the NFL is had an interesting
turning point because you know, he had the old guard
of Brady of course, and Roethlisberger, Manning and Rivers, that
whole group in Aaron Rodgers. Now then you had and
have Mahomes, Burrow, Allen and Lamar. And now you have
(06:28):
this new way of quarterbacks with may Boenix Brans, Caleb Williams,
and Jaydon Daniels, and then's supposed to be great draft
class coming in next year. I'm curious with like Mendoza
coming this year. I'm just curious who kind of steps up.
Because Burrow, Lamar and Mahomes almost the playoffs last year.
I don't expect that to happen again. And yes I
(06:50):
am a Chief fan, but I don't I don't expect
that to happen again. But I'm like, something's got to
give because there's these like these kind of quarterbacks that
we anointed before and had earned it. In this new
wave of guys, some guys are gonna get left out.
Like the AFC is going to be so interesting because
of the amount of talented quarterbacks in the in the conference.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Right and here's what I do like about this.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Right now, the younger guys are playing like one to
five pros, and the guys that have been around are
still playing top level. I mean, Patrick Mahons had a
ter as it, but I mean, but they're still top
notch quarterbacks. So I just think the league's packed with quarterbacks.
So one of the names that you mentioned that I
do worry about is Fernando Mendoza coming out of college
and most likely going to the Raiders. The Raiders and
the Jets are two places that I feel like blacklist.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Yes, you're ruin quarterbacks lives.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
I mean, how many times has the quarterback on either
team and done terrible but then moved on and done something
or just had their careers ruined. I like, the kid,
best quarterback in the draft, best player in the draft,
will be dropted number one. I do fear him going
to the Raiders and having a little bit of a struggle.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
What do you make of because I mean the Patrits dynasty.
Everyone knows it, it's Drew Bloedshoe gets heard. It was
a very talented player. Brady comes in the rest is history.
I've argued with Fletched a lot about this because there's
been a the last few years, ever since Mahomes actually
when he sat behind Alex Smith, then Lamar sat for
half a season and then they kind of took over
(08:11):
after a season or after half of the year. But
I'm kind of four because it's such a vital window
in the NFL on a rookie contract before you have
to pay these guys. And Tom Brady was really obviously
best quarterback in football. But Will also didn't take all
the money. So Tom Brady was a genius in that.
And he's like, I'll take a slot receiver, I'll take
(08:31):
a third corner versus just taking the MAXI amount of dollars.
But there's rumors that they signed Kirk Cousins with the Raiders.
Mendoza could be sitting for a while, maybe a full year,
at least half a season. Where do you stand on that?
Are you more like throw them in there or you
let them kind of get their feet wet, even though
it might sacrifice a year of potential development.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
I think he let them get their feet wet. I mean,
you look at Drake Man as a perfect example. You know,
they got Jacobe Rossett his rookie year to kind of play,
and Jacoby we knew was not as a Patriot fan
the answer right, but he was that phil guy that
knew the system. He had played before under the exact same,
you know, type of system.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
And I think it was smart. You look what Drake
May did this year. He earned that spot.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
He beat up to Kobe ultimately a little bit earlier
than he wanted to, probably you know, but stepped into it.
I think you threw Drake May into the fire right away.
Might have failed. And I think when you're a young quarterback,
if you struggle your first few games and messes with
your psyche, it ruins your season. Next thing, you know,
you're going, you know, three or four wins, and all
of a sudden, you start getting questioned saying, hey man,
Fernando was that number one pick and he only got
three wins for the Raiders. He's not going to be
(09:30):
this good. It gets in their heads. So I do
think you got Kirk Cousins. He's the bona fid pro.
He's been around the league for many years, many different
teams and offenses.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
I think he goes in there.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Not only does he do probably decently, but he gives
Fernando a chance not only to sit, but to learn,
because you're learning from a guy that's been in the
league for a while.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
It is maybe it's just like our society and that
we want things now. But it's funny how twenty years ago,
I mean, look at Aaron Rodgers. They had Brett Fahr.
They let him sit for what was that two years?
I mean it was it was not even expected even
if quarterbacks started right away. There was a grace period
where you're basically given a season to suck. Second season,
(10:06):
you wanted to see at least growth, even if it
wasn't in wins. And by the third year you were
supposed to be in the playoff picture, a team that
could contend. And now maybe it's because the Mahomes, which
is a little unfair, because he did sit the first
year and that made him grow. For sure, Lamar hit
the ground running. Herbert really changed Herbert and CJ. Stroud
because Herbert comes in that second game is unbelievable right away,
(10:28):
and you have these guys that just kind of, you know,
hit the ground running. And now, I mean before Caleb
Williams had his breakout year this year, we were talking
about is he a bust?
Speaker 3 (10:37):
And that's a great example, is Caleb Williams Because I
thought it was a bust. I thought he was over
hyped going into the draft, he came out to us.
Everybody's like, oh, he's the best guy, but I didn't
know if he was going to be the guy. And
then all of a sudden he had a rough first season.
I started being a non believer of him, and then
he made me shut up on others this year when
he came back.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
It could have gone quickly the other way. We've seen
that multiple times.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
I mean, multiple quarterbacks have come into the NFL again,
most of them going to the coming supposedly success scrap heap, Yeah,
and then then and the exactly they left it for nothing.
So to answer your question original question, I think sitting
one maybe two years is probably the best thing for
a twenty one year old quarterback coming out of the league.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
And it is. I mean you pointed out, it's look
what we've seen now. Sam Donalds won Super Bowl as
a guy who was cast off Geno Smith not good anymore,
but had a resurgence with the Seahawks. Baker Mayfield great,
great example. Yeah, is a guy who when the Browns
didn't want you and then didn't work out, and then
all of a sudden, he's been kind of the franchise
guy in Tampa ever since. Brady retired in this whole
(11:37):
the whole kind of second chances, like we are too
quick to give up on quarterbacks and even I mean
we saw this with with Bryce Young. I don't think
Bryce Young is some superstar quarterback in the NFL at
this point. But when you trade with the Bears to
get the number one pick and you give away DJ
Moore and you give away all your top receivers and talent,
(11:58):
the cover's pretty bear. So it's you. You're asking a
young quarterback who is a rookie to go do more
with less. So it's kind of like, it is kind
of crazy that we expect so much immediately when it's
like unless you have some stacked team around you, and
the only quarterbacks that are getting stacked teams are the
quarterbacks going at the end of the first round for sure,
who don't have necessarily all the measurables you look for.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
You've had a good point in that Sun article, I
think it was last week where they say a lot
of teams do trade everything that their first round pick,
in their second round pick in the first round next
year just to get that first ball. They should get
that quarterback, and you're setting up a rookie quarterback now
with not only a lost maybe star player and first
round pick in this draft, but now you're giving him
two to three years of failure in front because you traded.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
The whole house to get this dude.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
I think that's an unfair thing for a lot of
these players because they come in with the high hopes.
But it's not their fault that there's nobody to throw
the ball to. There's nobody throw the ball to. It's
not your fault that you can't complete a pass if
you don't have a you know, a strong side guard
tackle and you're getting sacked every time. You can't you
can't throw a football if you again sacked every time,
it's not their fault.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
I mean that you know this is better than anyone.
That's what made the Patriots Dyna see so money. Whereas
Brady was Brady, but you have Gronk and then Edelman
every damn third down. Watched this third and five somehow
he's wide open across the middle, and he had Ammondola
over the years, Randy Moss, I mean, so many guys
that like Ammandola and Joanelleman don't jump off the page
(13:19):
in terms of oh oh, that guy's like electric at
the combine. But they're just in the right spots.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
And the Patriots are smart enough to keep them and
find ways to use them and ultimately didn't break the
bang with them, but gave him enough money to say, hey,
look that you're our guy to make this happen. And
then what happens with that is Brady does what he did,
took off some money, like you said, and you built
a core team.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Again.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Brady didn't come out of college star. I mean he
was a late round pick. He also sat behind Bledsoe.
He got his break because Bloedsoe got hurt. I think
him sitting behind bledso for a little bit of years.
Bled's so another great quarterback. Tom Brady learned a lot
and that you know year two years behind Bledsoe before
he was thrown into the fire to play. Had he
not have those years and they expect him to jump
in there, I don't know if Tom Brady would have
been Tom Brady that we know today.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Frankie v hanging with me from channel ninety three to three.
You all know him, super kind hanging out for the
next next twenty thirty minutes. All right, come up next?
I want to get Frankie's thoughts on who was the
factor of the dynasty, who was bigger Brady or Belichick. Also,
we got some pressing Draymond Green sound calls out the
NBA for tanking. Has Draymond Green fixed it? We're gonna
(14:20):
play that sound for you coming up next on Going
Long on San Diego Sports seven sixty Live on the
iHeartRadio app. I still listen to you guys when I'm
up that early. I do sleep in a little bit,
but I used to listen to you guys every day
on my way into school every day.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Does that make me feel old? It makes me feel excited.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
No, man, it's it's the best. But you got you
and Gena and Angie in the morning. You guys crushing
it as usual as as a Boston sports guy. Yeah,
And then we're gonna get to some Draymond Green sound.
The potter is a little bit, but when you talk
to people from Boston, it's so Brady or Belichick.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
I get so torn on that because obviously Brady is
Brad the best who ever do it, But man, Belichick
gets put through the ringer a lot, and I feel like,
I don't know if Brady would be Brady through that
stretch if there wasn't for Belichick, I will say, if
you put two to two, it's gonna be Brady is
my guy. I'd say he's one that was stronger of
the two. Like you could have found another coach events
(15:17):
and it would have been okay. But I do think
Belichick because he went off the un seen and been struggling,
and then obviously once Brady left, they were struggling.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
He got kind of a bad rap for the past
few years.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
But I think he's the best I ever do it
on the coaching set, and I think that Brady's the
best to ever do it on the quarterback side.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
It is I mean, all these dynasties we see in
New England, I think when made that dynasty still air tight.
I mean it was. It was such a airtight dynasty.
You didn't hear drama that came out of there. Like
during the dynasty, you didn't hear a lot of scan
the scandals of the flight GA and stuff like that,
but you didn't hear a lot about the infighting from them.
And then it come to find out with that book
that Craft and Belichick hated each other and Brady and
(15:54):
Belichick never went to dinner. I mean it is It's
kind of amazing that it was able to be kept
under wraps for that long.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
And it shows a good team, right, because when you're
a great team like that, you understand that there's two
separate things, right, there's personal life and there's team life.
And they kept team a team personal person and I
think I think that's what made them so successful. In Belichick,
that credit goes to him. I think he's a type
that says, look what happens here stays here. We don't
want to hear about this in the media. And he
was a perfect exemplee an interview would coming. If he
(16:20):
got question anyways, he didn't want to answer, he wouldn't answer.
And I think that brave Belichick did that to his teammate,
to the players on the team, and I think that
ultimately is why there was a lot of success and
a lot of drama that we didn't see.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
One hundred percent. Frankie v f and Channel ninety three
to three joining me today, Brad, I believe we have
some dram on greensounds. So so last night, I don't
know if you saw this, Frankie, the Kings and the
Warriors are playing now, King's awful, not going anywhere, trying
to get a lottery pick in the NBA Warriors hanging
on the plane and it was one one on one
to one hundred. The Kings were winning. Doug McDermott intentionally
(16:56):
fouls off ball with them in the bonus. So Steph
Curry goes to the line and so there's a lot
of a lot of things came up about tanking and
where they you know, where are the Kings trying to
intentially lose the game. And Draymond Green had this to
say after I saw.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
Our team tonight file Seth Curry with three minutes to
go in the game for no reason in the indepenalty.
I get fine when I do wrong, Just fine the
hell out of people. You know, we love taking money
from players, keep finding on the teams. I've seen two
fins and we all know everybody taking but you've seen
(17:35):
two finds. Feels players snatched that money in a heartbeat.
Well isn't it the same? And we see twelve teams
thinking we seen two finds. My math serves me correctly,
that's the ten that ain't been fined.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Just some quick math.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
It could be wrong, so don't judge me if it's wrong.
But we don't keep that same energy when it comes
to teams, when it comes to fishers, when it comes
to everybody but players, we don't keep that same energy.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
But just a player's league.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
So a lot there, I mean a lot's been made
the last couple of months with the tanking. I know
you're a big Celtics fan. It it's felt rampant this
season because of the talent in the NBA draft, and
it speaks to that there's been the past couple of
years the NBA draft hasn't had the depth. I mean
Darren Peterson, Cam Boozer, Darius Acoff, you can go down
(18:28):
the list. There's projected to be ten guys in this
draft that you think could be not just good players,
but franchise defining players in the NBA. Like, would that
solve it for you? How big do you of a problem?
Do you see tanking in the NBA? And then do
you think his solution of just find him? You got
to find the owners because they're finding the players. Find
(18:49):
the owners is going to solve anything or it really
has to come through rule changes.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
I don't think find anybody's in the work.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
I do feel like Draymond Green is definitely speaking from
personal experience because he's got a lot of fins in
his career, and I feel like he's frust of seeing
stuff happen. Like you said, it's like when I do
something wrong, I hear about her and I gotta pay
So I think he's talking a little bit from frustration
on his own being as a player. I don't it's
funny because the tank and they do say that, But
is Steph Curry gonna take Are these players? Like I
just don't see some of these players as ones that
(19:16):
would tank. But then you see these documentaries that come
out and you hear about these you know, Betanan games
and all the stuff and the scannals that have happened.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Do I think it's a problem.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
No.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
Do I think they might want to keep a close
eye on it and nip it in the bud now
before it gets worse. Yes, this season is definitely a
tell tale of a little.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Bit more but than I've seen before.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
It is. It's hard because to your point about the players,
I mean, the players have no reason to tank because
the players are like, wait, I don't want to help
my team get a better draft pick.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Yeah, so they can draft my replacement, understand.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
And I think when it comes to an understand point,
I mean, are they really telling these coaches, Hey, you're
gonna lose your job if you don't tank this game.
So I don't Again, there could be a documentary years
to come on the twenty twenty six pass bus season.
This is all happening, but I don't see it as
bad as Draymond Green's making it. I don't know about
last night's game, if that was a tank situation to
try to get kamboos or something like that, but I
just don't think it's as bad as he's trying to
(20:10):
make it.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
It's I don't even blame like the taking, to me
is a problem. I can't even blame the teams though,
because the way the NBA has formatted it is that
you have to match salaries on trade, so you can't.
You can't. You know, in the NFL you can trade
a guy who makes forty million dollars for a guy
who makes five and with draft picks, it doesn't matter.
You have to match salaries. They incentivize players getting more
(20:33):
money if you draft with the team, if the team
that drafts you you want to sign with them, you
can make more money to incentivize small market teams to
have more of a shot. So everyone's not going to
the Lakers, Nicks, Celtics, Miami because they can just pay
more and like with that. So it makes drafting a
talented player that much more important than even trading for
(20:53):
or signing a big time player. So it's hard for
me to kill these teams. Like, yes, is it ugly
basketball the year und percent for sure, and it's bad
this year because there is so much talent that that
people are in on trying to trying to get an
NBA draft. But it's like I don't know if I
don't know if finding the owners fixes it. I do
(21:14):
think it would help because finding the players, finding the coaches,
whereas if they're just taking orders from the owners, doesn't
really do anything. If you hit the owners where their
wallet hurts, then change will be made. But if you
really start taking away draft picks, that's where it's going
to really change.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Yeah, I do agree, you got to takeway more than money.
I feel like owners don't care. Sometimes they have so
much money most of his owners that a few bucks
doesn't matter. But you do take away a draft pick
and you actually they're trying to If they are taking
to get a better draft pick, and you're taking away
draft picks, it's going to defeat what they're attempting to
do by throwing these games.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
So I do agree. I don't think it's the money thing.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
I do think it's taken away draft picks, or not
just one, maybe multiple draft picks are causing some sort
of reason for them to lose for years to come.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
I mean, to your point, it's it's right. Fifty thousand
dollars to NBA owners is nothing. That's that's a dinner
for sure.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
Expectly if it's the other odds are we get the
first pick in the draft, right, I'm willing to give
up fifty grand to try and get.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
That right first, Well, I'm gonna make it all back
in Jersey sales and marketing. I mean, it's it's it's
totally different. I do think if you included the playing
teams in the NBA draft lottery, so there's not just
so much incentive to miss the playoffs entirely, it'll it'll
add something, but certainly a situation to watch in the NBA.
All right, coming up next Frankie hanging out with me
for one more segment, get into Pottery's a little bit,
(22:26):
and I'm gonna see if Frankie's a big golf guy.
With the Masters ahead this weekend.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
For me to talk about it.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
All right, we'll figure it out. But coming up next
on a going along Standing GoSports seven sixty Live, I
Hart Radio app for hanging out the second week of
the show, Schaeffer and Slee. What will be coming up next?
They should be jumping on here in about twenty minutes now. Frankie,
you are you are you are mister pop culture. I mean,
you're You're more in touch with pop culture than anyone
in this cluster right here. So you gotta teach Brett
(22:56):
and I some things that maybe we can leave the
show with tomorrow. Because the hottest sports gossip, I would say,
is the Diana Roussini and Mike rabel Yeah storyline.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
That was actually pop culture for us this morning on
Channel After three. Yeah, I mean, it was so funny
when it comes to that story. Gina was like, I
don't really know Mike vrabel Is and and Jenner show.
I don't really know either. I said, all right, here's
the head football coach that's married, and here's a sports
reporter that's married and they were seeing arm and arm
and in hot tubs at a couple's retreat getaway and
(23:27):
they said, whoa is that what they were at? A
couple Yeah, the couple's retreat play. They said, number one
place where I think engagements to happen, Like people get
engaged there.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
So what second?
Speaker 3 (23:35):
I say, this is Gina and Anjie, They're like, who
cares who? They are telling me more about this story?
So that story has things become pop culture beyond just
who they are a sports people.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
So that was actually a big topic discussion this morning
on our show.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Where did everyone fall on it?
Speaker 3 (23:47):
It's tough because you know, I said, that girl, the
sports reporter grow she's the second time she did this.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
One time was with the Washington Football's GM.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
I think she hooked up at the right They know
once a home wrecker, always home record, Like this guy's
involved too, so turning this you know all that. But
they they were just all kind of just baffled as
to why celebrities that are known entities with known faces
decide to be stupid and go to a couple's retreat
like we're not talking about the Hotel six and hiding
(24:16):
inside the bedroom. They were at the hotels at a
couple's treat. Of course you're gonna be seen and noticed
that this is happening.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
I mean, that is a great point. Like did Mike
rape like Diana Roussini. It's famous. I mean sports fans
would know she is ready, but especially Mike Rabel. Mike Rabel,
like someone has got to be a Patriot fan at
that resource, and.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
If you're not, if you're a football fan. He just
won Coach of the Year, Like he has been all
over the media because what he did to the Patriots
and turned them around. And he's also a pretty big dude,
Like he doesn't look like you are, Like you're like, whoa,
who is that guy? Somebody's gonna look at his face
and say, let me google this. Oh there's Mike Rebel.
Oh wow, he's got kids in a wife.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
This is amazing. He's got a woman in a hot.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Time with you. Did you see there's a clip from
years ago, it's like twenty twenty one, the Diny Rossini out.
If you saw this, she came out and he went
back and found it. Yeah, She's like yeah, my husband's
kind of average, kind of boring. You know, if he
was like handsome, I would be posting about him all
the time. And now everyone's got that clip and he's
pushing it out all over social media.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
Says something too like, you know, Mike Rebel's kind of
a fat guy. Or so she made some comment like
kind of like joking about his figure. And it's like
there's obviously some type of like chemistry that has happened
for her to be joking about what he looks like. Yeah,
years back, aitherway that talked about pop culture. We talked
about that on Channel ninety three down the Hall.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
All right, So so so what else have made the
show today?
Speaker 3 (25:31):
Well, big thing coming up this weekend to get you
you might know about. It's thing called Coachella. Of course Coachella.
So Justin Bieber's gonna be headlining on Saturday. Takes stage
at eleven twenty five. Now, the big thing about this
is there's rumors that there's going to be cameras all
around because they're going to do a Netflix documentary based
on his comeback. It's the Coachella stage also, and this
is not confirmed, but people thought he was only going
(25:53):
to do his new stuff off his two albums, Swag
one and two. But there are people that were somehow
in the area of Coachella value able to hear his
sound check yesterday and he did a lot of his
old songs, including some of the songs that he got
famous for as a young kid, like Neo is so
sick in others on YouTube. So not confirmed, but those
rumors that he's gonna be doing a full set from
start to finish up all this music.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
I was just having an argument with someone about this
the other day. Like when you go see a band
or artist or rap whoever, it's great when they play
the new stuff. And Bieber obviously every time we released
an album, it's it's it's a huge day, and he
has his for days. But it is crazy when you
see the like coach Ella acts and they're not even
gonna play the stuff that got him there. Yeah, I
(26:34):
can't stand bands, rappers or whatever agree poo like hate
their old stuff, like don't want to play It's like
I get you, you want to play the new stuff,
but you're also not playing your top three biggest songs,
Like then that better reflecting the ticket price facts and
that that's who.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
Got them there, So that that's a big topic of conversation,
trying to think what else, Oh, Cardi B, you.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Know Cardi B is of course no Cardi B. Cardi
B got her credit card got stolen.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
And she came out and said, sixty thousand dollars worth
of stuff was about at Sachs Fitt Avenue as well
as at the Apple store. And she went as far
to say as I will find you and I will
put you in jail. She basically said, I don't care
what the cops are doing. I'm going to put you
in jail myself if I have to, And she kind
of went off about that.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
That's that's first off, if you steal someone's credit card
and then you go spend sixty thousand dollars with stuff.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
Quickly too, like she found one minutes later and shut
that thing down. So like within the short amount of
time that she got the alerts, they spent sixty thousand bucks.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Once you think, I mean maybe they're at Sacks and
Fit that they don't care. But if that's a higher
brand store, of course it's not just no shot to Walmart.
But it's not just Walmart, you know, just walking around
once you think if someone's buying sixty grand worth of stuff,
they're gonna check like there. Maybe they don't care. Maybe
they're just like, hey, we're selling out our store. But
that's kind of surprised, very surprising. And then twenty thousand
(27:48):
at an Apple store.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
I mean, I know that I found cheap, but if
you're buying twenty thousand and one stop at an Apple store,
like you would think that I might be like, hey,
real quick, are you Cardi B because that's what it
says in the credit card.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
You don't look like her. I mean yeah, like what
so what could you? I mean, just endless amount of phones?
But our phones are grand a new phone.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
So you got twenty one of those and you just
walked out of the door. I so yeah, there should
have been some red flags. Other other conversation on the
pop culture side, and this is tied to Cardi bit,
but offset her baby daddy was shot.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
That was a big thing.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
Him and a little TJ got into it in Florida
at casino and that was the other topical conversations. So
that that's what we do on nine thirty to three
down the hall. We just talking about this stuff.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
You know what most well informed, you know, radio show
in the cluster, come on.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
Now, you gotta be and we talk about the Padres too.
You know, it's kind of fun. We'd be giving away
Podrey tickets over there. So I get to, you know,
down in on the fact that they had a little
winning street going and you know it's cool. They beat
my Red Sox for the I know, over the weekend,
so I got to talk about that too.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
The Red Sox did kind of get the Potter's right
a little bit over the Live First Life. It's hard
to figure out this Pottery team because like the first
week they look lifeless and I know you went to
opening day, we were all down there in sidebar. But
and in the last six days they looked pretty They
look pretty good.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
I mean at the at the expense of the Boss
residens about read sauce the patterns around for us early
in the season.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
We are Frankie and all of Boston to think for
that one. But yeah, have you ever been in Coachella?
I have not.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
I have no desire.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
I do Coachella because you can watch it on YouTube
and their stream is so amazing because not only can
you check out each stage, because they have different stages.
It's easy to navigate. This year, they're doing kind of
like red Zone for football. We can see a bunch
of different games. They're doing all four stages, so you
could watch all the performances going on at once on
your couch. And I'll tell you what a drink out
of my refrigerator. Hell a lot cheaper than the drunk
yeah at Coachella, So I'm cool with it.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
What's what's the best concert You've ever been to?
Speaker 2 (29:34):
Best concert I've ever been to? That's a loaded question.
Been a lot of great ones.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
I will say Bruce Springsteen put on a great show
years ago, saw him. I My favorite though, performance was
you two at these Super Bowl many years ago. I
got to go in New Orleans when the Patriots are
in there. I actually want a trip there, which is crazy.
I was working at a different station of the time,
and I want to scat away. Anyways, it was cool
to see a halftime shows you two at the time,
so those stand up. But I mean, I've been to
(29:58):
so many great shows. I've seen Lady Yogra form amazing,
justin biberform mazed. Actually, I mean I've seen them all,
but I would say those two stand up in my mind.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
So we were debating the other day on air because
we were bored and then everything to talk about. Yeah,
we were like, the favorites for next year's super Bowl
halftime show is Miley Cyrus? Now this shot of Miley Cyrus?
Because Molly Syrus is very talented. Yeah, but I was
kind of surprised, like, just you're more tapped in are you?
Are you? Is that surprising that she's the favorite in
(30:26):
does Frankie V have a pick for who super Bowl's
halftime show will be next year? And who it should be?
Speaker 4 (30:31):
So?
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Moley is definitely deserving. I mean, she's been around.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
She just did twenty years of Hannah Montana, so she
seems like she's just like a young kid still, but
she's been around twenty years.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
The reunion of that has been huge.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
Her fan based, the nostalgia fan base is there, so
she could definitely handle that. I would think that if
she did, she would bring some other people out maybe
from twenty years, you know, you kind of build a story.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
I think she could do it.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
But my favorite one that I saw, and it's more
because of Nick Carter from the Backstreet Boys, I think
was starting this boomer but he said, you know what,
the Backstree Boys are are ready to do the super
Bowl halftime show, and then they spun it into but
what if we brought out some and sink and brought
up some of nineties whole nineties boy band, yes, ninety
boys band like reunion and then say, maybe we can
even get some of the other pop female stars to
(31:14):
join us. That one, in my mind, would be epic
for so many different reasons because what's old is new
and so many people now love the boy bands of
the past, even kids like Bye Bye Bye I had
its moment Oh yeah, you know, because it was the
movie Oh yeah they did Yeah put Woe Yeah exactly,
So so I think there's moments. So if I had
a choice, I would go with the nineties early two
(31:36):
thousands boy band reunion tour for the halftime show.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
I like that. I think that could do well because
they already it's gonna be in La Yeah did your head?
Dre and Snoop and Eminem and Kendrick. That was fantastic
fifty came out, So you can't really do this whole
nineties rap thing again. You know, as a massive rock fan,
some of our favorite rock stars a little aged out
of it good.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Like it made me. Metallica, Guns, Roses, they're all great.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
But that's the problem is that's that's for dudes. Yeah, exactly,
they don't want to Dude, dude's already watching.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
You want to get a female audience that may not
be watching it, or a pop culture moment where you
get guys that don't care about football watching. And I
do think, I do think you need to get a
moment like that, like an oh wow moment, And you're
not gonna get that for most hours. But I'm telling you,
if you did nineties early two thousands reunion with all
these boy bands and whatnot, that's a no wow moment that.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
People are gonna be intrigued to watch.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
That's fantastic. We got to get our all of our listeners.
We gotta get a little little little bet in on
that little little some future bets on the on all that. Frankie,
you're the best hardest working man in the business. Dud's
on six to ten Gotta show in Boston. You all
know him with with Gina and Angie there in the
morning six ten. Dude, you're the best man. Thank you
so much for stopping in.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Thank me on the congrats on this hour.
Speaker 4 (32:43):
Man.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
It's like, you know, I feel like I know Sammy
since you've been a little boy. Yeah, your dad's a
good guy and I've watched you grow up with him.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
And all that. So it's cool to see you get
this chance to shine.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
So oh, thank you so much. Man, Franki's always been
the best first time I got in here, always always
showing so much love. All right, shiate you Frankie V.
You all know him, six to ten, go shoot. Tune
in on channel ninety three to three Monday through Friday.
Come up next, Shaffer and Slee. Why we've officially named
it the Crossover until our salespeople sell it and then
change the name. So the Crossover when be coming up
(33:12):
next with Shaffer and Sleeve? What Alan is undisclosed location?
Alan like kind of works on his own schedule. Yeah,
I've learned this. I mean he's been here for a week.
So he's like, you know, I'm I'm gonna do it.
I'm gonna do it this way. I'll come in when
I want, Yeah, I'll it's fine. I like kind of
like it. I'm gonna yell at sleep. But when he
gets in here, for disrespecting the crossover. So the crossover
(33:32):
again a buddy and I have a buddy in l A.
Speaker 5 (33:35):
Yeah, that reminds me just like I haven't even told
this Allen. He's just like Alan, like he kind of
moves to his own pace. It's just like I don't know,
there's just very simple, yes.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
Slee, what is so? Uh, let's a good friend of
yours in Los Angeles?
Speaker 5 (33:52):
Yeah, I need to tell Alan. I was gonna tell
maybe all fair, but I'll tell monitor.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
Well, it's more fun on it. I was saying, I
have a really.
Speaker 5 (33:58):
Close friend of mine that I grew up with it
I want high school with I just from like kindergarten
and I've known and he lives in LA He is identical.
There's something very similar about him to you. And what
I mean by that is like you kind of just
like eh, you know, like you're like, i'll use the
restroom before the crossoverever kind of make my way in.
(34:18):
It's all good, which I really respect. I kind of
I love that, like I don't respect at all. I'm
very frustrative balance, right, I.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
Kind of like it because it's like it moves it
like your pace. Well, here's what it is. Okay, there's
there's a lot that goes into it.
Speaker 6 (34:32):
Number One, we were prepping like like animals, right, we
got to show from three to six, Sammy, I don't
know if you know.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
That or if you want to promote it. Some people
have been talking about it, if you've promoted at all.
Speaker 6 (34:43):
So we're you know, we're, uh, we're doing our thing
in that in the prep room, and then it comes
that it's time to come and so I just figured
John's going to come in do his thing, a little
bit of hello with you. I can go run and
use the restroom. Also, see this uh food and wine spread.
I think it's going to be spread out here in
(35:03):
the next hour or so. I thought, maybe I do
a little pino on the war before I get in.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
Yeah, you know, it's kind of show.
Speaker 6 (35:09):
I thought a little pino on the war, and then
I was gonna work my way in. Don't take it personal.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
There has there has been a personal There's been a
lot of a lot of movement out here. I was
Frankie V from Channel I thro three was hanging with
me for the last hour. A lot of movement out
here with all the all the salespeople, Okay, people in
the building.
Speaker 5 (35:27):
And there's gonna be you were saying there's gonna be
like food.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
I think there's gonna be a whole layout out there.
Speaker 6 (35:31):
And I thought, well, because initially you said, yeah, that
sounds good, I'd love a glass of wine right now.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
I would, And and I think, if I'm correct, I
think it is all for us. I think this is
a shaver and wild Bay that shave will be on
air for Can you imagine like.
Speaker 5 (35:49):
If that was like your role like it like I
feel like if you're Ryan Seacrest, you you could be drinking.
But I feel like they build that they'll bring in
like for Ryan, they got the meal for the same.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
Yeah, can we get that?
Speaker 6 (36:01):
We need six months. I think we got to put
in some work. We got to roll up a sleepy
Friends shot, maybe show a little.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
Ratings and revenue, and then they'll roll out about that
Ryan who We're gonna be hosting New Year's Rocket even soon.
I uh, yeah, you're nine months. In nine months, by
the way, I mean Bigger Cenium Fledge. All they did
was drink on air on Fridays. So I think your
point about the Pina Noir, what are they gonna say
(36:28):
you have a little glass of wine, buy you talking
a little Padres. I think it's I think it's cool
coming off a w Maybe we do it just with wins,
just with wins, like drink every single time they win.
I kind of like that, a shot every time they
do a win.
Speaker 6 (36:41):
No, let's do a home run for every a shot
for every home run, because that's probably averaging.
Speaker 1 (36:46):
Honestly in this space. Yeah, shot, not a lot of
a lot of shots. There's there's a lot of we
definitely pace ourselves. There's a lot of drinking that could
have been involved. Positively for the Padres. Sadly for the
Los Angeles Lakers, that game was don't even don't even
watch it. You're good.
Speaker 5 (37:03):
They were right in it for.
Speaker 1 (37:07):
Taking do you know what? So I was watching the
game and I was I was very hesitating. I'm always
gonna watch the game, but I was watching it. I
was like, you know what, They're just gonna let me down.
I said, I'm not gonna get mad.
Speaker 6 (37:16):
But but how Yeah, you can't get let down if
you've already set that expectation. You gotta set that expectation,
but you kind of can though the youngness that's.
Speaker 5 (37:24):
Like saying like, if you're the Padres are two and five,
and you're saying, I'm not gonna get let down if
they lose, You're gonna get let down.
Speaker 6 (37:29):
But here, but this is the point. The point is is,
let's say, I mean, I don't even know if I
have an example for this. The Lakers were missing four
starters going up against the Oklahoma City Thunder. That's a
pretty easy one to say.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
Don't Yeah, don't don't get yourself up might be a
tough one.
Speaker 6 (37:46):
I'm on the mound for the Padres. I would tell
everybody here, guys might go, might not go well tonight.
Speaker 5 (37:54):
But first of all, Kevin is gonna show us for
three or five okay from Pittsburgh in about ten minutes.
Speaker 1 (37:58):
Secondly, my wife and son are on their west storm
for the best story for of course, the.
Speaker 5 (38:03):
Game of the century Clippers Thunder tonight.
Speaker 1 (38:05):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (38:06):
So she she's this massive NBA fan and he's this
he loved like a little like Clippers fan. I'm like,
are you sure that's kind of a life of yeah,
we should do you really want to do that?
Speaker 1 (38:15):
We need to change that. He needs to be adopted
into His.
Speaker 5 (38:18):
Teams are like like he's into the Clippers, he's into
the Padres.
Speaker 1 (38:22):
They're combined titles like I do it on one hand,
respect it. I respect it exactly by the way.
Speaker 6 (38:27):
He should just honestly, at this point he should just
jump in with your wife and say, I'm a thunder fane.
Speaker 1 (38:31):
Why not? Why not?
Speaker 5 (38:32):
Wife is a big thunderfan, so she was good to wear.
He told her he didn't want her wearing a Shay jersey.
Speaker 1 (38:38):
That is fantastic.
Speaker 5 (38:39):
He's going to be wearing He's wearing a Derek Jones
junior but his name is Jones. That is Derek Jones
junior jersey. And Kristen is wearing the Kawhi San Diego
State jersey, which is actually at Via House Arena.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
That's very nice.
Speaker 5 (38:55):
Brought Shay's jersey and even that has made my seven
year old little uncomfortable.
Speaker 1 (38:59):
Shout out to Jones both teams. That is fantastic. What
what made him Clipper fan? Little little Kauhi connection When
they drafted Olwa Condy. Yeah, that draft. It was that draft.
It was way before I think it was two thousand
and I think it was Danny Manning. The loved that
Bill Walton team here. Oh he loved it. It was
(39:19):
the season ticket. All here's sports are in it now.
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (39:23):
They went to a meet and greet actually and really
because of her work and they got to meet like
Derek Jones Jr.
Speaker 1 (39:28):
And they's like, I like the Clippers. Well, the Clippers
got a little bit of a bright future with Darius Garland,
Bennettict Mathern now getting rid of old bones, hardened. I mean,
I mean fantastic that start a Clippers show. I forgot.
I forgot Harden left the Clippers. He was telling me earlier.
I'm like, who's place we're checking the injury?
Speaker 5 (39:44):
Hey, everyone for the Thunders playing yep, but Darius Garland's
out the hardens it.
Speaker 1 (39:47):
I'm like, I don't think Hardened places for them. You forgot.
They traded for each other. By the way, speaking speaking
on that game, I got a little money on the
Clippers plus seven and a half tonight. You like the Clippers.
We were looking at what I wanted to guess.
Speaker 5 (40:00):
Here's the thing, though, I don't know if I love that.
Let me tell you why the Thunder with a win
clinch the Western Conference. Shay was drafted by the Clippers.
I don't think this is the game.
Speaker 1 (40:09):
They take their phone, brother they have they had everyone playing.
There's no one not playing. Jalen Walliams didn't play yesterday.
I said I do this in long shots earlier. Here's
why I picked the Clippers all right, plus seven a half,
not money line plus seven and a half. They are
trying to stay in the eighth spot. So they're staying
because Trailblazers are right on their heel. They're playing the Spurs.
I believe they're playing the Spurs and I or someone tonight?
(40:29):
Do you not hear what we said about who's playing
Garlands out? Did you not hear? What are you trying
to justify? Right now? Okay? When I do my betting segment,
we don't get the full entry report. Okay, if I did,
If I did a betting segment at four forty five
every day, because that's how money I would, well, then
you might want to come back. You might not want
to do the time yea.
Speaker 6 (40:54):
The show wherever you're playing, you might be the only
bet coming in that early. You know what they say,
it's like he doesn't have all the information.
Speaker 1 (41:00):
That's exactly right. Always fade the public.
Speaker 6 (41:03):
How about yesterday when it was tied at forty two,
and it's an eighteen point spread.
Speaker 1 (41:07):
I'm like, Oh, this is gonna We're gonna do it.
They're gonna cover. Yeah, they didn't cover cover Lakers. Unbelievable.
All right, Shaefer, Sleiwall, you guys are all keep listening.
I'll be back tomorrow Flesh at twelve o'clock. Brent, you're
the man. Thank you for that nice class of wine
there is. I'm off work now. I just gotta edit
a podcast. I don't it doesn't have to be perfect editing.
I can just kill a on one. All right, boys,
(41:28):
have a great shot, everybody. Kevin Acy coming up next.
Listen
I'm going along with Shammy.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
That's gonna be hot on the story of the day.
Speaker 1 (00:04):
Plus it's warm. No, it's Sammy Long. Welcome back, everybody
to going along with me. Sammy Long and a very
special guest if you're on the stream, Frank E. V
from Channel ninety three to three jumping on. This man
is more radio than anyone in the entire cluster and
(00:28):
was cool enough to come on back in in person.
So what's up, dude? How you doing?
Speaker 3 (00:31):
I'm good When I got to text some seven long
saying hey, do you want to pop on and talk
some sports with me for a few minutes. This is
not work, this is this is pure pleasure on a
I always say Wednesday, Wednesday afternoon.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Let's go for sure, man, I seriously thank you so
much for coming in. We got a lot to get
to today. So Patter's finished off a nice little road
trip four and two. We got some Draymond Green sound.
We're gonna get to it a little bit about tanking
in the NBA, but I gotta start off with you.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Talk to me.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
You do a show in Boston. I do what's the
panic level for the Red Sox.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Man, It's it's frustrating, I'll tell you that much. I
don't know if there's a panic level.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Ye.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
Actually, I do feel like the Red Sox are like
the Dodgers, like the Yankees. You figure it out, you
got a budget to work with, that things can happen.
I know that there's some chance to sell the team
and other things that were being said in Family Park,
which you never want to hear because obviously big Red
Sox fan, big everything with that. So first question, what's
the panic level. I think it's not high yet, but
it's getting there. But I do think they are a
team because of the passion, because of the pockets they
(01:29):
do have.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
They'll get a figured out.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
There is something though, I like like to your point, yeah,
you were hearing sell the team and everything. It's a
little excessive a weekend in the season, But I do
like that mindset from sports cities. Boston has that, Philly
has that, New York has it. LA has it to
be fair to La where yes, people can go you're
a little too hard on the teams and they go
(01:52):
on a two game losing streak and the sky's falling.
But I would rather have that sometimes than some small
markets where it's don't say anything about it with the players,
Like I think a lot goes left on said because
of a lack of accountability. And I like that from Boston,
like Boston, whatever team. If the Celtics are going to
the championship and losing, that's a failure of a season.
(02:13):
It is.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
And it was just actually out to lunch of the
buddy and we're talking about this and the fact that
certain certain ballparks, certain games, like you lose, it's all good,
we just go party afterwards. If you lose, in your
Red Sox fan, you leave that Way Park and you
go home pissed off. Like, let's be serious, like you
don't you don't go home and party afterwards, to go
to the bars and lands out there that you go
straight home, say when the Celtics los, or even the Patriots,
(02:34):
so so, I do feel like it's a city that
you must win in and if you're not winning, I
mean they're they're terrible right now. They're the worst team
in baseball record wise. It's not a look that that city,
as a fan growing up with the Red Sox, wants
to see. But we've seen this before from Boston teams
from New York teams from LA teams. When this does happen,
they find a way to.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Spin things around.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
What was your as a Boston sports fan? What was
your favorite dynacy he has been so many or playoff
like series win or championship win of any of the
sports for you personally.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Crazy thing is when I think about my favorite dynasty
for the for a boss's sports team, it brings me
back to my childhood. And I wasn't as now then
because I was much younger, But the Celtics of old.
We had Larry Bird, Kevin McHale, and Robert Parrish. So
someone about that, the old school basketball that they brought
to the table. I think that was my favorite. Errand again,
I was such a little kid at that point in
the time. I wish that was now so I could
(03:26):
understand it. So that's probably the one. But the other
one that we all talked about is a Patriots run
with Tom Brady and Belichick.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
You can't ever put that beside you.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
I know that everybody except for Patriots fans hated the
Patriots and it was kind of fun to be a
part of the inside circle of No, yeah, that's my
team and we are going to win another super Bowl.
Like we went into each season talk about if you
didn't win the Super Bowl, it was a failure for
a season. Some teams you make it to the playoffs, like, man,
we had a good season. The Patriots are at the
point where they didn't win that Super Bowl. It was
a failure of a season.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Right like this year, I think you look at Drake
May and the Patriots and go a kind of came
out out of nowhere, no one, no one expected. I
think people expected growth from Drake May and we're excited
for rookie year. Of course, I mean that was to
go to the Super Bowl. I don't think too many
people had that on their VINGO card. And then you
take the Patriots like to go through you know, I
know there was some fortunate with injuries against the Chargers
(04:15):
and Texans and Broncos, but that was impressive for a
young quarterback to be able to get through that. Where
do you see the patsat going in next year? Like
do you think it was a little bit I want
to call it a Fluke run, but because there was
a lot of injuries the other way, or do you
think Drake May is here to kind of take over
part of the AFC.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Two part answer that question.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
One, was it a fluke run semi like as a
huge Patriots fan, I will be honest, it was a
semi fluke. I mean they did have a lot of
stars on line through the season to get them there.
That being said, take nothing away from Drake May in
my mind, top three, top four quarterback in the league
right now is second year and he might be the
best quarterback in the NFL in a couple of years.
And that's not taken away from any other quarterback. But
(04:53):
what he showed with a team that in my mind
was an average team. I mean it wasn't the best
on paper team. Yeah, he played a great amount of
mature football for a kid that's in his early twenties.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
I also, it's so impressive how Drake May you look
at him in I mean, he didn't have that many
weapons like Kayshawan Boody kind of grew a little bit,
but he wasn't some top ten pick. He was the
guy who grew at LSU. And then Stefan Diggs has
the name of Stefan Diggs, but he's not what he
once was.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
When he's with the Bills, he's coming up the ACL injury,
so we didn't know what he was going to be.
And I think he had a great season because Drake
May helped him have a great season.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
There wasn't the other way around.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Are you of the There's been a lot of rumors
about them trying to get AJ.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Brown, see a lot of that.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Are you for that giving up a little picks in
the future to get a bona fide star or where
are you out with that?
Speaker 2 (05:41):
See?
Speaker 3 (05:42):
I get torn on that because I don't mind giving
up draft picks to get somebody, but it's not like
a J.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Brown is twenty one years old, that out of college, so
you don't want.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
To give up too much and then wonder why can't
we build that dynasty. However, I think at this point
in time, if you get a bonafide a plus wide
receiver like a J Brown for Dreg May, I do
think you give his confidence level a booth that could
actually make him a better quarterback down.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
The road to have that top not receiver.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
I was talking about this with Gino the other day,
who is we all know is a massive Raider fan
and will tell us the NFL is had an interesting
turning point because you know, he had the old guard
of Brady of course, and Roethlisberger, Manning and Rivers, that
whole group in Aaron Rodgers. Now then you had and
have Mahomes, Burrow, Allen and Lamar. And now you have
(06:28):
this new way of quarterbacks with may Boenix Brans, Caleb Williams,
and Jaydon Daniels, and then's supposed to be great draft
class coming in next year. I'm curious with like Mendoza
coming this year. I'm just curious who kind of steps up.
Because Burrow, Lamar and Mahomes almost the playoffs last year.
I don't expect that to happen again. And yes I
(06:50):
am a Chief fan, but I don't I don't expect
that to happen again. But I'm like, something's got to
give because there's these like these kind of quarterbacks that
we anointed before and had earned it. In this new
wave of guys, some guys are gonna get left out.
Like the AFC is going to be so interesting because
of the amount of talented quarterbacks in the in the conference.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Right and here's what I do like about this.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Right now, the younger guys are playing like one to
five pros, and the guys that have been around are
still playing top level. I mean, Patrick Mahons had a
ter as it, but I mean, but they're still top
notch quarterbacks. So I just think the league's packed with quarterbacks.
So one of the names that you mentioned that I
do worry about is Fernando Mendoza coming out of college
and most likely going to the Raiders. The Raiders and
the Jets are two places that I feel like blacklist.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Yes, you're ruin quarterbacks lives.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
I mean, how many times has the quarterback on either
team and done terrible but then moved on and done something
or just had their careers ruined. I like, the kid,
best quarterback in the draft, best player in the draft,
will be dropted number one. I do fear him going
to the Raiders and having a little bit of a struggle.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
What do you make of because I mean the Patrits dynasty.
Everyone knows it, it's Drew Bloedshoe gets heard. It was
a very talented player. Brady comes in the rest is history.
I've argued with Fletched a lot about this because there's
been a the last few years, ever since Mahomes actually
when he sat behind Alex Smith, then Lamar sat for
half a season and then they kind of took over
(08:11):
after a season or after half of the year. But
I'm kind of four because it's such a vital window
in the NFL on a rookie contract before you have
to pay these guys. And Tom Brady was really obviously
best quarterback in football. But Will also didn't take all
the money. So Tom Brady was a genius in that.
And he's like, I'll take a slot receiver, I'll take
(08:31):
a third corner versus just taking the MAXI amount of dollars.
But there's rumors that they signed Kirk Cousins with the Raiders.
Mendoza could be sitting for a while, maybe a full year,
at least half a season. Where do you stand on that?
Are you more like throw them in there or you
let them kind of get their feet wet, even though
it might sacrifice a year of potential development.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
I think he let them get their feet wet. I mean,
you look at Drake Man as a perfect example. You know,
they got Jacobe Rossett his rookie year to kind of play,
and Jacoby we knew was not as a Patriot fan
the answer right, but he was that phil guy that
knew the system. He had played before under the exact same,
you know, type of system.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
And I think it was smart. You look what Drake
May did this year. He earned that spot.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
He beat up to Kobe ultimately a little bit earlier
than he wanted to, probably you know, but stepped into it.
I think you threw Drake May into the fire right away.
Might have failed. And I think when you're a young quarterback,
if you struggle your first few games and messes with
your psyche, it ruins your season. Next thing, you know,
you're going, you know, three or four wins, and all
of a sudden, you start getting questioned saying, hey man,
Fernando was that number one pick and he only got
three wins for the Raiders. He's not going to be
(09:30):
this good. It gets in their heads. So I do
think you got Kirk Cousins. He's the bona fid pro.
He's been around the league for many years, many different
teams and offenses.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
I think he goes in there.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Not only does he do probably decently, but he gives
Fernando a chance not only to sit, but to learn,
because you're learning from a guy that's been in the
league for a while.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
It is maybe it's just like our society and that
we want things now. But it's funny how twenty years ago,
I mean, look at Aaron Rodgers. They had Brett Fahr.
They let him sit for what was that two years?
I mean it was it was not even expected even
if quarterbacks started right away. There was a grace period
where you're basically given a season to suck. Second season,
(10:06):
you wanted to see at least growth, even if it
wasn't in wins. And by the third year you were
supposed to be in the playoff picture, a team that
could contend. And now maybe it's because the Mahomes, which
is a little unfair, because he did sit the first
year and that made him grow. For sure, Lamar hit
the ground running. Herbert really changed Herbert and CJ. Stroud
because Herbert comes in that second game is unbelievable right away,
(10:28):
and you have these guys that just kind of, you know,
hit the ground running. And now, I mean before Caleb
Williams had his breakout year this year, we were talking
about is he a bust?
Speaker 3 (10:37):
And that's a great example, is Caleb Williams Because I
thought it was a bust. I thought he was over
hyped going into the draft, he came out to us.
Everybody's like, oh, he's the best guy, but I didn't
know if he was going to be the guy. And
then all of a sudden he had a rough first season.
I started being a non believer of him, and then
he made me shut up on others this year when
he came back.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
It could have gone quickly the other way. We've seen
that multiple times.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
I mean, multiple quarterbacks have come into the NFL again,
most of them going to the coming supposedly success scrap heap, Yeah,
and then then and the exactly they left it for nothing.
So to answer your question original question, I think sitting
one maybe two years is probably the best thing for
a twenty one year old quarterback coming out of the league.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
And it is. I mean you pointed out, it's look
what we've seen now. Sam Donalds won Super Bowl as
a guy who was cast off Geno Smith not good anymore,
but had a resurgence with the Seahawks. Baker Mayfield great,
great example. Yeah, is a guy who when the Browns
didn't want you and then didn't work out, and then
all of a sudden, he's been kind of the franchise
guy in Tampa ever since. Brady retired in this whole
(11:37):
the whole kind of second chances, like we are too
quick to give up on quarterbacks and even I mean
we saw this with with Bryce Young. I don't think
Bryce Young is some superstar quarterback in the NFL at
this point. But when you trade with the Bears to
get the number one pick and you give away DJ
Moore and you give away all your top receivers and talent,
(11:58):
the cover's pretty bear. So it's you. You're asking a
young quarterback who is a rookie to go do more
with less. So it's kind of like, it is kind
of crazy that we expect so much immediately when it's
like unless you have some stacked team around you, and
the only quarterbacks that are getting stacked teams are the
quarterbacks going at the end of the first round for sure,
who don't have necessarily all the measurables you look for.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
You've had a good point in that Sun article, I
think it was last week where they say a lot
of teams do trade everything that their first round pick,
in their second round pick in the first round next
year just to get that first ball. They should get
that quarterback, and you're setting up a rookie quarterback now
with not only a lost maybe star player and first
round pick in this draft, but now you're giving him
two to three years of failure in front because you traded.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
The whole house to get this dude.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
I think that's an unfair thing for a lot of
these players because they come in with the high hopes.
But it's not their fault that there's nobody to throw
the ball to. There's nobody throw the ball to. It's
not your fault that you can't complete a pass if
you don't have a you know, a strong side guard
tackle and you're getting sacked every time. You can't you
can't throw a football if you again sacked every time,
it's not their fault.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
I mean that you know this is better than anyone.
That's what made the Patriots Dyna see so money. Whereas
Brady was Brady, but you have Gronk and then Edelman
every damn third down. Watched this third and five somehow
he's wide open across the middle, and he had Ammondola
over the years, Randy Moss, I mean, so many guys
that like Ammandola and Joanelleman don't jump off the page
(13:19):
in terms of oh oh, that guy's like electric at
the combine. But they're just in the right spots.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
And the Patriots are smart enough to keep them and
find ways to use them and ultimately didn't break the
bang with them, but gave him enough money to say, hey,
look that you're our guy to make this happen. And
then what happens with that is Brady does what he did,
took off some money, like you said, and you built
a core team.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Again.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Brady didn't come out of college star. I mean he
was a late round pick. He also sat behind Bledsoe.
He got his break because Bloedsoe got hurt. I think
him sitting behind bledso for a little bit of years.
Bled's so another great quarterback. Tom Brady learned a lot
and that you know year two years behind Bledsoe before
he was thrown into the fire to play. Had he
not have those years and they expect him to jump
in there, I don't know if Tom Brady would have
been Tom Brady that we know today.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Frankie v hanging with me from channel ninety three to three.
You all know him, super kind hanging out for the
next next twenty thirty minutes. All right, come up next?
I want to get Frankie's thoughts on who was the
factor of the dynasty, who was bigger Brady or Belichick. Also,
we got some pressing Draymond Green sound calls out the
NBA for tanking. Has Draymond Green fixed it? We're gonna
(14:20):
play that sound for you coming up next on Going
Long on San Diego Sports seven sixty Live on the
iHeartRadio app. I still listen to you guys when I'm
up that early. I do sleep in a little bit,
but I used to listen to you guys every day
on my way into school every day.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Does that make me feel old? It makes me feel excited.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
No, man, it's it's the best. But you got you
and Gena and Angie in the morning. You guys crushing
it as usual as as a Boston sports guy. Yeah,
And then we're gonna get to some Draymond Green sound.
The potter is a little bit, but when you talk
to people from Boston, it's so Brady or Belichick.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
I get so torn on that because obviously Brady is
Brad the best who ever do it, But man, Belichick
gets put through the ringer a lot, and I feel like,
I don't know if Brady would be Brady through that
stretch if there wasn't for Belichick, I will say, if
you put two to two, it's gonna be Brady is
my guy. I'd say he's one that was stronger of
the two. Like you could have found another coach events
(15:17):
and it would have been okay. But I do think
Belichick because he went off the un seen and been struggling,
and then obviously once Brady left, they were struggling.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
He got kind of a bad rap for the past
few years.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
But I think he's the best I ever do it
on the coaching set, and I think that Brady's the
best to ever do it on the quarterback side.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
It is I mean, all these dynasties we see in
New England, I think when made that dynasty still air tight.
I mean it was. It was such a airtight dynasty.
You didn't hear drama that came out of there. Like
during the dynasty, you didn't hear a lot of scan
the scandals of the flight GA and stuff like that,
but you didn't hear a lot about the infighting from them.
And then it come to find out with that book
that Craft and Belichick hated each other and Brady and
(15:54):
Belichick never went to dinner. I mean it is It's
kind of amazing that it was able to be kept
under wraps for that long.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
And it shows a good team, right, because when you're
a great team like that, you understand that there's two
separate things, right, there's personal life and there's team life.
And they kept team a team personal person and I
think I think that's what made them so successful. In Belichick,
that credit goes to him. I think he's a type
that says, look what happens here stays here. We don't
want to hear about this in the media. And he
was a perfect exemplee an interview would coming. If he
(16:20):
got question anyways, he didn't want to answer, he wouldn't answer.
And I think that brave Belichick did that to his teammate,
to the players on the team, and I think that
ultimately is why there was a lot of success and
a lot of drama that we didn't see.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
One hundred percent. Frankie v f and Channel ninety three
to three joining me today, Brad, I believe we have
some dram on greensounds. So so last night, I don't
know if you saw this, Frankie, the Kings and the
Warriors are playing now, King's awful, not going anywhere, trying
to get a lottery pick in the NBA Warriors hanging
on the plane and it was one one on one
to one hundred. The Kings were winning. Doug McDermott intentionally
(16:56):
fouls off ball with them in the bonus. So Steph
Curry goes to the line and so there's a lot
of a lot of things came up about tanking and
where they you know, where are the Kings trying to
intentially lose the game. And Draymond Green had this to
say after I saw.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
Our team tonight file Seth Curry with three minutes to
go in the game for no reason in the indepenalty.
I get fine when I do wrong, Just fine the
hell out of people. You know, we love taking money
from players, keep finding on the teams. I've seen two
fins and we all know everybody taking but you've seen
(17:35):
two finds. Feels players snatched that money in a heartbeat.
Well isn't it the same? And we see twelve teams
thinking we seen two finds. My math serves me correctly,
that's the ten that ain't been fined.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Just some quick math.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
It could be wrong, so don't judge me if it's wrong.
But we don't keep that same energy when it comes
to teams, when it comes to fishers, when it comes
to everybody but players, we don't keep that same energy.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
But just a player's league.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
So a lot there, I mean a lot's been made
the last couple of months with the tanking. I know
you're a big Celtics fan. It it's felt rampant this
season because of the talent in the NBA draft, and
it speaks to that there's been the past couple of
years the NBA draft hasn't had the depth. I mean
Darren Peterson, Cam Boozer, Darius Acoff, you can go down
(18:28):
the list. There's projected to be ten guys in this
draft that you think could be not just good players,
but franchise defining players in the NBA. Like, would that
solve it for you? How big do you of a problem?
Do you see tanking in the NBA? And then do
you think his solution of just find him? You got
to find the owners because they're finding the players. Find
(18:49):
the owners is going to solve anything or it really
has to come through rule changes.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
I don't think find anybody's in the work.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
I do feel like Draymond Green is definitely speaking from
personal experience because he's got a lot of fins in
his career, and I feel like he's frust of seeing
stuff happen. Like you said, it's like when I do
something wrong, I hear about her and I gotta pay
So I think he's talking a little bit from frustration
on his own being as a player. I don't it's
funny because the tank and they do say that, But
is Steph Curry gonna take Are these players? Like I
just don't see some of these players as ones that
(19:16):
would tank. But then you see these documentaries that come
out and you hear about these you know, Betanan games
and all the stuff and the scannals that have happened.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Do I think it's a problem.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
No.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
Do I think they might want to keep a close
eye on it and nip it in the bud now
before it gets worse. Yes, this season is definitely a
tell tale of a little.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Bit more but than I've seen before.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
It is. It's hard because to your point about the players,
I mean, the players have no reason to tank because
the players are like, wait, I don't want to help
my team get a better draft pick.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Yeah, so they can draft my replacement, understand.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
And I think when it comes to an understand point,
I mean, are they really telling these coaches, Hey, you're
gonna lose your job if you don't tank this game.
So I don't Again, there could be a documentary years
to come on the twenty twenty six pass bus season.
This is all happening, but I don't see it as
bad as Draymond Green's making it. I don't know about
last night's game, if that was a tank situation to
try to get kamboos or something like that, but I
just don't think it's as bad as he's trying to
(20:10):
make it.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
It's I don't even blame like the taking, to me
is a problem. I can't even blame the teams though,
because the way the NBA has formatted it is that
you have to match salaries on trade, so you can't.
You can't. You know, in the NFL you can trade
a guy who makes forty million dollars for a guy
who makes five and with draft picks, it doesn't matter.
You have to match salaries. They incentivize players getting more
(20:33):
money if you draft with the team, if the team
that drafts you you want to sign with them, you
can make more money to incentivize small market teams to
have more of a shot. So everyone's not going to
the Lakers, Nicks, Celtics, Miami because they can just pay
more and like with that. So it makes drafting a
talented player that much more important than even trading for
(20:53):
or signing a big time player. So it's hard for
me to kill these teams. Like, yes, is it ugly
basketball the year und percent for sure, and it's bad
this year because there is so much talent that that
people are in on trying to trying to get an
NBA draft. But it's like I don't know if I
don't know if finding the owners fixes it. I do
(21:14):
think it would help because finding the players, finding the coaches,
whereas if they're just taking orders from the owners, doesn't
really do anything. If you hit the owners where their
wallet hurts, then change will be made. But if you
really start taking away draft picks, that's where it's going
to really change.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Yeah, I do agree, you got to takeway more than money.
I feel like owners don't care. Sometimes they have so
much money most of his owners that a few bucks
doesn't matter. But you do take away a draft pick
and you actually they're trying to If they are taking
to get a better draft pick, and you're taking away
draft picks, it's going to defeat what they're attempting to
do by throwing these games.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
So I do agree. I don't think it's the money thing.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
I do think it's taken away draft picks, or not
just one, maybe multiple draft picks are causing some sort
of reason for them to lose for years to come.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
I mean, to your point, it's it's right. Fifty thousand
dollars to NBA owners is nothing. That's that's a dinner
for sure.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
Expectly if it's the other odds are we get the
first pick in the draft, right, I'm willing to give
up fifty grand to try and get.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
That right first, Well, I'm gonna make it all back
in Jersey sales and marketing. I mean, it's it's it's
totally different. I do think if you included the playing
teams in the NBA draft lottery, so there's not just
so much incentive to miss the playoffs entirely, it'll it'll
add something, but certainly a situation to watch in the NBA.
All right, coming up next Frankie hanging out with me
for one more segment, get into Pottery's a little bit,
(22:26):
and I'm gonna see if Frankie's a big golf guy.
With the Masters ahead this weekend.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
For me to talk about it.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
All right, we'll figure it out. But coming up next
on a going along Standing GoSports seven sixty Live, I
Hart Radio app for hanging out the second week of
the show, Schaeffer and Slee. What will be coming up next?
They should be jumping on here in about twenty minutes now. Frankie,
you are you are you are mister pop culture. I mean,
you're You're more in touch with pop culture than anyone
in this cluster right here. So you gotta teach Brett
(22:56):
and I some things that maybe we can leave the
show with tomorrow. Because the hottest sports gossip, I would say,
is the Diana Roussini and Mike rabel Yeah storyline.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
That was actually pop culture for us this morning on
Channel After three. Yeah, I mean, it was so funny
when it comes to that story. Gina was like, I
don't really know Mike vrabel Is and and Jenner show.
I don't really know either. I said, all right, here's
the head football coach that's married, and here's a sports
reporter that's married and they were seeing arm and arm
and in hot tubs at a couple's retreat getaway and
(23:27):
they said, whoa is that what they were at? A
couple Yeah, the couple's retreat play. They said, number one
place where I think engagements to happen, Like people get
engaged there.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
So what second?
Speaker 3 (23:35):
I say, this is Gina and Anjie, They're like, who
cares who? They are telling me more about this story?
So that story has things become pop culture beyond just
who they are a sports people.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
So that was actually a big topic discussion this morning
on our show.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Where did everyone fall on it?
Speaker 3 (23:47):
It's tough because you know, I said, that girl, the
sports reporter grow she's the second time she did this.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
One time was with the Washington Football's GM.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
I think she hooked up at the right They know
once a home wrecker, always home record, Like this guy's
involved too, so turning this you know all that. But
they they were just all kind of just baffled as
to why celebrities that are known entities with known faces
decide to be stupid and go to a couple's retreat
like we're not talking about the Hotel six and hiding
(24:16):
inside the bedroom. They were at the hotels at a
couple's treat. Of course you're gonna be seen and noticed
that this is happening.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
I mean, that is a great point. Like did Mike
rape like Diana Roussini. It's famous. I mean sports fans
would know she is ready, but especially Mike Rabel. Mike Rabel,
like someone has got to be a Patriot fan at
that resource, and.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
If you're not, if you're a football fan. He just
won Coach of the Year, Like he has been all
over the media because what he did to the Patriots
and turned them around. And he's also a pretty big dude,
Like he doesn't look like you are, Like you're like, whoa,
who is that guy? Somebody's gonna look at his face
and say, let me google this. Oh there's Mike Rebel.
Oh wow, he's got kids in a wife.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
This is amazing. He's got a woman in a hot.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Time with you. Did you see there's a clip from
years ago, it's like twenty twenty one, the Diny Rossini out.
If you saw this, she came out and he went
back and found it. Yeah, She's like yeah, my husband's
kind of average, kind of boring. You know, if he
was like handsome, I would be posting about him all
the time. And now everyone's got that clip and he's
pushing it out all over social media.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
Says something too like, you know, Mike Rebel's kind of
a fat guy. Or so she made some comment like
kind of like joking about his figure. And it's like
there's obviously some type of like chemistry that has happened
for her to be joking about what he looks like. Yeah,
years back, aitherway that talked about pop culture. We talked
about that on Channel ninety three down the Hall.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
All right, So so so what else have made the
show today?
Speaker 3 (25:31):
Well, big thing coming up this weekend to get you
you might know about. It's thing called Coachella. Of course Coachella.
So Justin Bieber's gonna be headlining on Saturday. Takes stage
at eleven twenty five. Now, the big thing about this
is there's rumors that there's going to be cameras all
around because they're going to do a Netflix documentary based
on his comeback. It's the Coachella stage also, and this
is not confirmed, but people thought he was only going
(25:53):
to do his new stuff off his two albums, Swag
one and two. But there are people that were somehow
in the area of Coachella value able to hear his
sound check yesterday and he did a lot of his
old songs, including some of the songs that he got
famous for as a young kid, like Neo is so
sick in others on YouTube. So not confirmed, but those
rumors that he's gonna be doing a full set from
start to finish up all this music.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
I was just having an argument with someone about this
the other day. Like when you go see a band
or artist or rap whoever, it's great when they play
the new stuff. And Bieber obviously every time we released
an album, it's it's it's a huge day, and he
has his for days. But it is crazy when you
see the like coach Ella acts and they're not even
gonna play the stuff that got him there. Yeah, I
(26:34):
can't stand bands, rappers or whatever agree poo like hate
their old stuff, like don't want to play It's like
I get you, you want to play the new stuff,
but you're also not playing your top three biggest songs,
Like then that better reflecting the ticket price facts and
that that's who.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
Got them there, So that that's a big topic of conversation,
trying to think what else, Oh, Cardi B, you.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Know Cardi B is of course no Cardi B. Cardi
B got her credit card got stolen.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
And she came out and said, sixty thousand dollars worth
of stuff was about at Sachs Fitt Avenue as well
as at the Apple store. And she went as far
to say as I will find you and I will
put you in jail. She basically said, I don't care
what the cops are doing. I'm going to put you
in jail myself if I have to, And she kind
of went off about that.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
That's that's first off, if you steal someone's credit card
and then you go spend sixty thousand dollars with stuff.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
Quickly too, like she found one minutes later and shut
that thing down. So like within the short amount of
time that she got the alerts, they spent sixty thousand bucks.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Once you think, I mean maybe they're at Sacks and
Fit that they don't care. But if that's a higher
brand store, of course it's not just no shot to Walmart.
But it's not just Walmart, you know, just walking around
once you think if someone's buying sixty grand worth of stuff,
they're gonna check like there. Maybe they don't care. Maybe
they're just like, hey, we're selling out our store. But
that's kind of surprised, very surprising. And then twenty thousand
(27:48):
at an Apple store.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
I mean, I know that I found cheap, but if
you're buying twenty thousand and one stop at an Apple store,
like you would think that I might be like, hey,
real quick, are you Cardi B because that's what it
says in the credit card.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
You don't look like her. I mean yeah, like what
so what could you? I mean, just endless amount of phones?
But our phones are grand a new phone.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
So you got twenty one of those and you just
walked out of the door. I so yeah, there should
have been some red flags. Other other conversation on the
pop culture side, and this is tied to Cardi bit,
but offset her baby daddy was shot.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
That was a big thing.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
Him and a little TJ got into it in Florida
at casino and that was the other topical conversations. So
that that's what we do on nine thirty to three
down the hall. We just talking about this stuff.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
You know what most well informed, you know, radio show
in the cluster, come on.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
Now, you gotta be and we talk about the Padres too.
You know, it's kind of fun. We'd be giving away
Podrey tickets over there. So I get to, you know,
down in on the fact that they had a little
winning street going and you know it's cool. They beat
my Red Sox for the I know, over the weekend,
so I got to talk about that too.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
The Red Sox did kind of get the Potter's right
a little bit over the Live First Life. It's hard
to figure out this Pottery team because like the first
week they look lifeless and I know you went to
opening day, we were all down there in sidebar. But
and in the last six days they looked pretty They
look pretty good.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
I mean at the at the expense of the Boss
residens about read sauce the patterns around for us early
in the season.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
We are Frankie and all of Boston to think for
that one. But yeah, have you ever been in Coachella?
I have not.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
I have no desire.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
I do Coachella because you can watch it on YouTube
and their stream is so amazing because not only can
you check out each stage, because they have different stages.
It's easy to navigate. This year, they're doing kind of
like red Zone for football. We can see a bunch
of different games. They're doing all four stages, so you
could watch all the performances going on at once on
your couch. And I'll tell you what a drink out
of my refrigerator. Hell a lot cheaper than the drunk
yeah at Coachella, So I'm cool with it.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
What's what's the best concert You've ever been to?
Speaker 2 (29:34):
Best concert I've ever been to? That's a loaded question.
Been a lot of great ones.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
I will say Bruce Springsteen put on a great show
years ago, saw him. I My favorite though, performance was
you two at these Super Bowl many years ago. I
got to go in New Orleans when the Patriots are
in there. I actually want a trip there, which is crazy.
I was working at a different station of the time,
and I want to scat away. Anyways, it was cool
to see a halftime shows you two at the time,
so those stand up. But I mean, I've been to
(29:58):
so many great shows. I've seen Lady Yogra form amazing,
justin biberform mazed. Actually, I mean I've seen them all,
but I would say those two stand up in my mind.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
So we were debating the other day on air because
we were bored and then everything to talk about. Yeah,
we were like, the favorites for next year's super Bowl
halftime show is Miley Cyrus? Now this shot of Miley Cyrus?
Because Molly Syrus is very talented. Yeah, but I was
kind of surprised, like, just you're more tapped in are you?
Are you? Is that surprising that she's the favorite in
(30:26):
does Frankie V have a pick for who super Bowl's
halftime show will be next year? And who it should be?
Speaker 4 (30:31):
So?
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Moley is definitely deserving. I mean, she's been around.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
She just did twenty years of Hannah Montana, so she
seems like she's just like a young kid still, but
she's been around twenty years.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
The reunion of that has been huge.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
Her fan based, the nostalgia fan base is there, so
she could definitely handle that. I would think that if
she did, she would bring some other people out maybe
from twenty years, you know, you kind of build a story.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
I think she could do it.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
But my favorite one that I saw, and it's more
because of Nick Carter from the Backstreet Boys, I think
was starting this boomer but he said, you know what,
the Backstree Boys are are ready to do the super
Bowl halftime show, and then they spun it into but
what if we brought out some and sink and brought
up some of nineties whole nineties boy band, yes, ninety
boys band like reunion and then say, maybe we can
even get some of the other pop female stars to
(31:14):
join us. That one, in my mind, would be epic
for so many different reasons because what's old is new
and so many people now love the boy bands of
the past, even kids like Bye Bye Bye I had
its moment Oh yeah, you know, because it was the
movie Oh yeah they did Yeah put Woe Yeah exactly,
So so I think there's moments. So if I had
a choice, I would go with the nineties early two
(31:36):
thousands boy band reunion tour for the halftime show.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
I like that. I think that could do well because
they already it's gonna be in La Yeah did your head?
Dre and Snoop and Eminem and Kendrick. That was fantastic
fifty came out, So you can't really do this whole
nineties rap thing again. You know, as a massive rock fan,
some of our favorite rock stars a little aged out
of it good.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Like it made me. Metallica, Guns, Roses, they're all great.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
But that's the problem is that's that's for dudes. Yeah, exactly,
they don't want to Dude, dude's already watching.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
You want to get a female audience that may not
be watching it, or a pop culture moment where you
get guys that don't care about football watching. And I
do think, I do think you need to get a
moment like that, like an oh wow moment, And you're
not gonna get that for most hours. But I'm telling you,
if you did nineties early two thousands reunion with all
these boy bands and whatnot, that's a no wow moment that.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
People are gonna be intrigued to watch.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
That's fantastic. We got to get our all of our listeners.
We gotta get a little little little bet in on
that little little some future bets on the on all that. Frankie,
you're the best hardest working man in the business. Dud's
on six to ten Gotta show in Boston. You all
know him with with Gina and Angie there in the
morning six ten. Dude, you're the best man. Thank you
so much for stopping in.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Thank me on the congrats on this hour.
Speaker 4 (32:43):
Man.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
It's like, you know, I feel like I know Sammy
since you've been a little boy. Yeah, your dad's a
good guy and I've watched you grow up with him.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
And all that. So it's cool to see you get
this chance to shine.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
So oh, thank you so much. Man, Franki's always been
the best first time I got in here, always always
showing so much love. All right, shiate you Frankie V.
You all know him, six to ten, go shoot. Tune
in on channel ninety three to three Monday through Friday.
Come up next, Shaffer and Slee. Why we've officially named
it the Crossover until our salespeople sell it and then
change the name. So the Crossover when be coming up
(33:12):
next with Shaffer and Sleeve? What Alan is undisclosed location?
Alan like kind of works on his own schedule. Yeah,
I've learned this. I mean he's been here for a week.
So he's like, you know, I'm I'm gonna do it.
I'm gonna do it this way. I'll come in when
I want, Yeah, I'll it's fine. I like kind of
like it. I'm gonna yell at sleep. But when he
gets in here, for disrespecting the crossover. So the crossover
(33:32):
again a buddy and I have a buddy in l A.
Speaker 5 (33:35):
Yeah, that reminds me just like I haven't even told
this Allen. He's just like Alan, like he kind of
moves to his own pace. It's just like I don't know,
there's just very simple, yes.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
Slee, what is so? Uh, let's a good friend of
yours in Los Angeles?
Speaker 5 (33:52):
Yeah, I need to tell Alan. I was gonna tell
maybe all fair, but I'll tell monitor.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
Well, it's more fun on it. I was saying, I
have a really.
Speaker 5 (33:58):
Close friend of mine that I grew up with it
I want high school with I just from like kindergarten
and I've known and he lives in LA He is identical.
There's something very similar about him to you. And what
I mean by that is like you kind of just
like eh, you know, like you're like, i'll use the
restroom before the crossoverever kind of make my way in.
(34:18):
It's all good, which I really respect. I kind of
I love that, like I don't respect at all. I'm
very frustrative balance, right, I.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
Kind of like it because it's like it moves it
like your pace. Well, here's what it is. Okay, there's
there's a lot that goes into it.
Speaker 6 (34:32):
Number One, we were prepping like like animals, right, we
got to show from three to six, Sammy, I don't
know if you know.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
That or if you want to promote it. Some people
have been talking about it, if you've promoted at all.
Speaker 6 (34:43):
So we're you know, we're, uh, we're doing our thing
in that in the prep room, and then it comes
that it's time to come and so I just figured
John's going to come in do his thing, a little
bit of hello with you. I can go run and
use the restroom. Also, see this uh food and wine spread.
I think it's going to be spread out here in
(35:03):
the next hour or so. I thought, maybe I do
a little pino on the war before I get in.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
Yeah, you know, it's kind of show.
Speaker 6 (35:09):
I thought a little pino on the war, and then
I was gonna work my way in. Don't take it personal.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
There has there has been a personal There's been a
lot of a lot of movement out here. I was
Frankie V from Channel I thro three was hanging with
me for the last hour. A lot of movement out
here with all the all the salespeople, Okay, people in
the building.
Speaker 5 (35:27):
And there's gonna be you were saying there's gonna be
like food.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
I think there's gonna be a whole layout out there.
Speaker 6 (35:31):
And I thought, well, because initially you said, yeah, that
sounds good, I'd love a glass of wine right now.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
I would, And and I think, if I'm correct, I
think it is all for us. I think this is
a shaver and wild Bay that shave will be on
air for Can you imagine like.
Speaker 5 (35:49):
If that was like your role like it like I
feel like if you're Ryan Seacrest, you you could be drinking.
But I feel like they build that they'll bring in
like for Ryan, they got the meal for the same.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
Yeah, can we get that?
Speaker 6 (36:01):
We need six months. I think we got to put
in some work. We got to roll up a sleepy
Friends shot, maybe show a little.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
Ratings and revenue, and then they'll roll out about that
Ryan who We're gonna be hosting New Year's Rocket even soon.
I uh, yeah, you're nine months. In nine months, by
the way, I mean Bigger Cenium Fledge. All they did
was drink on air on Fridays. So I think your
point about the Pina Noir, what are they gonna say
(36:28):
you have a little glass of wine, buy you talking
a little Padres. I think it's I think it's cool
coming off a w Maybe we do it just with wins,
just with wins, like drink every single time they win.
I kind of like that, a shot every time they
do a win.
Speaker 6 (36:41):
No, let's do a home run for every a shot
for every home run, because that's probably averaging.
Speaker 1 (36:46):
Honestly in this space. Yeah, shot, not a lot of
a lot of shots. There's there's a lot of we
definitely pace ourselves. There's a lot of drinking that could
have been involved. Positively for the Padres. Sadly for the
Los Angeles Lakers, that game was don't even don't even
watch it. You're good.
Speaker 5 (37:03):
They were right in it for.
Speaker 1 (37:07):
Taking do you know what? So I was watching the
game and I was I was very hesitating. I'm always
gonna watch the game, but I was watching it. I
was like, you know what, They're just gonna let me down.
I said, I'm not gonna get mad.
Speaker 6 (37:16):
But but how Yeah, you can't get let down if
you've already set that expectation. You gotta set that expectation,
but you kind of can though the youngness that's.
Speaker 5 (37:24):
Like saying like, if you're the Padres are two and five,
and you're saying, I'm not gonna get let down if
they lose, You're gonna get let down.
Speaker 6 (37:29):
But here, but this is the point. The point is is,
let's say, I mean, I don't even know if I
have an example for this. The Lakers were missing four
starters going up against the Oklahoma City Thunder. That's a
pretty easy one to say.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
Don't Yeah, don't don't get yourself up might be a
tough one.
Speaker 6 (37:46):
I'm on the mound for the Padres. I would tell
everybody here, guys might go, might not go well tonight.
Speaker 5 (37:54):
But first of all, Kevin is gonna show us for
three or five okay from Pittsburgh in about ten minutes.
Speaker 1 (37:58):
Secondly, my wife and son are on their west storm
for the best story for of course, the.
Speaker 5 (38:03):
Game of the century Clippers Thunder tonight.
Speaker 1 (38:05):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (38:06):
So she she's this massive NBA fan and he's this
he loved like a little like Clippers fan. I'm like,
are you sure that's kind of a life of yeah,
we should do you really want to do that?
Speaker 1 (38:15):
We need to change that. He needs to be adopted
into His.
Speaker 5 (38:18):
Teams are like like he's into the Clippers, he's into
the Padres.
Speaker 1 (38:22):
They're combined titles like I do it on one hand,
respect it. I respect it exactly by the way.
Speaker 6 (38:27):
He should just honestly, at this point he should just
jump in with your wife and say, I'm a thunder fane.
Speaker 1 (38:31):
Why not? Why not?
Speaker 5 (38:32):
Wife is a big thunderfan, so she was good to wear.
He told her he didn't want her wearing a Shay jersey.
Speaker 1 (38:38):
That is fantastic.
Speaker 5 (38:39):
He's going to be wearing He's wearing a Derek Jones
junior but his name is Jones. That is Derek Jones
junior jersey. And Kristen is wearing the Kawhi San Diego
State jersey, which is actually at Via House Arena.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
That's very nice.
Speaker 5 (38:55):
Brought Shay's jersey and even that has made my seven
year old little uncomfortable.
Speaker 1 (38:59):
Shout out to Jones both teams. That is fantastic. What
what made him Clipper fan? Little little Kauhi connection When
they drafted Olwa Condy. Yeah, that draft. It was that draft.
It was way before I think it was two thousand
and I think it was Danny Manning. The loved that
Bill Walton team here. Oh he loved it. It was
(39:19):
the season ticket. All here's sports are in it now.
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (39:23):
They went to a meet and greet actually and really
because of her work and they got to meet like
Derek Jones Jr.
Speaker 1 (39:28):
And they's like, I like the Clippers. Well, the Clippers
got a little bit of a bright future with Darius Garland,
Bennettict Mathern now getting rid of old bones, hardened. I mean,
I mean fantastic that start a Clippers show. I forgot.
I forgot Harden left the Clippers. He was telling me earlier.
I'm like, who's place we're checking the injury?
Speaker 5 (39:44):
Hey, everyone for the Thunders playing yep, but Darius Garland's
out the hardens it.
Speaker 1 (39:47):
I'm like, I don't think Hardened places for them. You forgot.
They traded for each other. By the way, speaking speaking
on that game, I got a little money on the
Clippers plus seven and a half tonight. You like the Clippers.
We were looking at what I wanted to guess.
Speaker 5 (40:00):
Here's the thing, though, I don't know if I love that.
Let me tell you why the Thunder with a win
clinch the Western Conference. Shay was drafted by the Clippers.
I don't think this is the game.
Speaker 1 (40:09):
They take their phone, brother they have they had everyone playing.
There's no one not playing. Jalen Walliams didn't play yesterday.
I said I do this in long shots earlier. Here's
why I picked the Clippers all right, plus seven a half,
not money line plus seven and a half. They are
trying to stay in the eighth spot. So they're staying
because Trailblazers are right on their heel. They're playing the Spurs.
I believe they're playing the Spurs and I or someone tonight?
(40:29):
Do you not hear what we said about who's playing
Garlands out? Did you not hear? What are you trying
to justify? Right now? Okay? When I do my betting segment,
we don't get the full entry report. Okay, if I did,
If I did a betting segment at four forty five
every day, because that's how money I would, well, then
you might want to come back. You might not want
to do the time yea.
Speaker 6 (40:54):
The show wherever you're playing, you might be the only
bet coming in that early. You know what they say,
it's like he doesn't have all the information.
Speaker 1 (41:00):
That's exactly right. Always fade the public.
Speaker 6 (41:03):
How about yesterday when it was tied at forty two,
and it's an eighteen point spread.
Speaker 1 (41:07):
I'm like, Oh, this is gonna We're gonna do it.
They're gonna cover. Yeah, they didn't cover cover Lakers. Unbelievable.
All right, Shaefer, Sleiwall, you guys are all keep listening.
I'll be back tomorrow Flesh at twelve o'clock. Brent, you're

It’s the unlikeliest of criminal partnerships: a devout polygamist from an insular Utah sect joining forces with a shadowy Armenian tycoon from LA. The result - a billion dollar fraud conspiracy. In Kingdom of Fraud, investigative reporter Michele McPhee traces the origins of the extraordinary alliance between Jacob Kingston and Levon Termendzhyan. Together, the two men trigger the largest tax investigation in American history and weave around themselves a web of dirty cops, influential political relationships and transnational money laundering. All this is set against the backdrop of Jacob Kingston’s clan – The Order. A powerful and secretive polygamist organization in Salt Lake City. To whom Jacob is desperate to prove his worth.
