Speaker 2 (00:30):
Well, we're back and ready to roll.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
On a Monday, and thank you for spending your afternoon
with us wherever it is that you may be. As
so we get into everything happening in the world in sports,
and of course we've had two or three things break
in the last half hour just as the show is
about to begin. We'll get to all of that coming up.
I'm Andy Everett. The audio disseminator and producer of today's
program is Shane Carter.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Good to see you again.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
I have returned after vacation. It wasn't vacation. There's no
such thing as vacation. You're flying everywhere September in March.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
It feels like the last two weeks I've seen you
in person, maybe two days.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Yeah, it's that time of the year.
Speaker 4 (01:09):
I think I've seen more of Puma and more of
Dylan than I have of you.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Absolutely, they don't have to go anywhere. The games are
where their games are, and that's where you got to go.
And that's what I signed up for, not complaining. But
there is some stress involved, but we're going to get
through it all anyway. The news that broke about twenty
minutes ago is that James Franklin is going to take
over a Virginia Tech.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
I think that was expected. I'll tell you why.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
I think that's a great hire for Virginia Tech and
for James Franklin. I think James Franklin is a really
good coach. The expectation at Penn State is to win
the national championship every year. I think that's an unrealistic
expectation for any program not named Ohio State, Georgia, maybe
Texas and Alabama others. Penn State's a blue blood, but
(01:55):
they still have to beat Ohio State, Oregon, USC, Michigan,
and Penn State. In the last twenty years hasn't been
the same. Penn State as they were in the seventies
and eighties and nineties. Now Indiana, well, I think Indiana's
Indiana's there because of in IL, and maybe they're going
to always be there because of in IL. But they're
not a blue blood. They may be a blue blood
(02:17):
in basketball, they are not a blue blood in football.
And it's very it's not setting well with the likes
of Penn State because I'll bet you you know, the
first of all, Signetti gets a raise because Penn State
was going to take him.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Now.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
I don't think Signetti's any better or any less of
a coach than James Franklin. But the reason that Indiana
is good is because they've invested and Signetti has hit
on some players. And the reason that Penn State has
struggled is that Drew Aller is overrated, like I told
you he was, and James Franklin has missed on some players.
And now you can go to Virginia Tech, where if
(02:51):
you get to the ACC Championship game, they may name
a room after you at the school. I know that
Virginia Tech fans probably don't want to hear this, but
they're not a blue blood either. And even though they
had Michael Vick in the pack Pack in the past.
Great for them, they were great for their standard, but
they're not national championship team. You're not thinking Virginia Tech
(03:14):
every year. And right now I would think Virginia Tech
is the fourth or fifth best program.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
In the ACC.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Miami is likely number one, Clemson will get better and
as soon as Dabo figures out, I gotta you know,
I can't beat him. I got to join them with
the ni L and transfer portal that they're number two,
and I think SMU is number three. Louisville and North
Carolina State occasionally are more interesting. Sure, Florida State is
dead broke. Tallahassee doesn't have any money. It's a it's
(03:42):
a state capital. I mean it really is. No, I'm
not disagree with yeah, but but Florida State can't keep
up with Miami and Florida in the same state from
a money standpoint.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Even pitt is doing better than the last couple of.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Years, and Pittsburgh's gonna Pittsburgh's doing better. But also Pittsburgh
is another place that does not have a lot of
corporate industry. They've got a lot of blue collar steel
steel workers and miners that the country absolutely needs to
run the infrastructure of the world, but they're not.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
They're compared to Philadelphia.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
In that area, sure if and it's it's unfortunate that Temple, uh,
and Philadelphia is really a pro city.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
None.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
None of the the the city teams used to be
really good in basketball. But I can't ever recall a
Philadelphia area school being good in football.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Temple doesn't.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
And then the others all played FCS or FB FCS
or Division III. So uh, they're they're not a factor
in football. But anyway, I I think that the Penn
State job, the expectation was unrealistic.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
A lot of times. He did some things.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
That were kind of off the cuff a little bit, uh,
and it didn't work out. Drew Aller, I think a
lot of people thought was better than he is. I
never thought he was that good to begin with. I
thought he was in the JJ McCarthy maybe a little
less standard. That means he'll probably get drafted, but I
don't see him becoming, you know, the next great quarterback
in the NFL. Should be wrong, but anyway, that's the
(05:08):
first story. The next story was Victor wimen Yama's calf
strain is going to keep him out for two to
three weeks.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
According to Sham's.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
I don't know what it is about calf strains, but
everybody's getting him and whether we're taping ankles too tight
or we're restricting knee movement, because all of that's connected
and is Doc Garrett has told as many times before.
When you button down one area, that puts strain on
the other area, and calf injuries, I understand, are delicate. Fortunately,
I have incredibly tight calves. I've been trying to get
(05:38):
them looser because.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
As yourself up there, huh well no, no, they're tight
in a bad way.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
They're not as in, not flexible because part of the
golf swing requires movement in the feed area. And over
the last ten or fifteen years, I've gotten really tight there.
So the trainer and when I work out and when
I do the stretching and stuff, I need to loosen
the calves because when you get tight calves, as you age,
you slow you're swinging down.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Do you do the bands?
Speaker 1 (06:05):
I do basically a lot of yoga stuff like the
downward dog stuff to stretch them out, And then there's
also a I don't I do a stretch that when
I'm doing it by myself.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
I have bands.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
If there's somebody there to stretch me, then they can
basically become the.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Bands like cal cenics, you do that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Yeah, it's more, you know, laying on the ground and
moving to where you flex. You can feel a strain
in those areas. But it's something that I'm not trying
to compare myself to Victor women Yamas.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
I mean, he's twenty years old to begin with.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
I'm sixty one, so there's a little bit of an
age gap, and mine are supposed to be tight at
that age, although I want them looser so I can
hit bombs. Again, I don't hit it as far as
I'd like, and neither is anybody else that's sixty years old.
But the point is is that there's something going on
with calves because almost every player in the league is
getting them now, and so the trainers or if ISIO
(06:58):
guys are going, let's do this to prevent hamstrings, let's
do this to prevent ptelotendonitis, let's do this to prevent ankles.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Oh oh, now it's calves that are going to get something.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
So we got to figure out a way to work
on that, and this is a huge stretch for the
Spurs because I think the team that is going to
win the West and in the best position to be
the Western Conference champion and be in that Western Conference
finals is the team that stays the healthiest. Apparently, Castle's
got a hip injury too that we got to deal with,
(07:29):
and we don't know how long he's going to be out,
so we'll get to that coming up. The Agis had
an amazing historic comeback on Saturday, down thirty to three,
and they came rowing back to win the game thirty
one to three. Congrats to the Aggies. I don't think
you're going to stumble against Sanford. You could probably play
the third team and beat them. But you've got a
big date coming up with Texas next Friday after this
(07:51):
Saturday's game against Sanford, and you could very well be
in the college football Top two because Ohio State still
got to play and Indiana still got to play some
games before then, you're going to be top three at worse.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
I'm not so.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
I haven't honestly watched an Indiana game this year, and
the Ohio State game that I watched was the Texas
game back when we were getting ready for the Aggi
game on Opening Day with UTSA. So anyway, I think
the Aggis are really really good, and I know there's
a lot of people that where burn orangs that aren't
thrilled about it, but you're gonna have to get over
(08:29):
it because they're likely going to be the top top
two or three seed that is, I mean, they're gonna
win a college football playoff game. And as we get
further in the show, we'll kind of give you the
matchups and who would play whom depending on what we
see right now. I think there's gonna be three teams
from the Big Ten, and I think there's going to
be five from the SEC that make the final four
(08:49):
or the final twelve.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
So we'll get all of that coming up.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
There is something on the horizon that very much concerns
me that we're gonna have to get to a little bit,
and the NBA has asked the Lakers, and several Lakers
staff members have already turned over cell phones, pictures, and
cell phone records within communication with Damon Jones, and apparently
Damon Jones was not only a coach for the Lakers,
(09:15):
but he was kind of Lebron's valet.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
If you will.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
He was the guy that was really trying to work
with Lebron on a number of things. And they're wondering
the feds are who did what and who said what?
And how much did people know in relation to the
gambling probes that's going on around both college and pro football,
college and pro basketball. And this is Adam Silver's worst nightmare.
(09:38):
And I don't understand why people are I I'll tell
you a quick story here because I read this today.
There's a guy that played for the New Orleans University
not long ago. His name was day Day Hunter, and
day Day Hunter said, yep, he told Good Morning America.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
I shay points.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
I'd missed a few shots here and there so that
my totals for the game were under I had a
newborn child. I needed the money. The school wasn't taking
care of me, so I thought I.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Would take care of myself.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
And I was approached by anonymous betters from the MGM,
or that bet at MGM, and they wanted me to
make sure I didn't get X amount of points so
they could win the prop bets. You know, I know
times are tough as they always have been. And guess
what in the future they'll be tough too for a
lot of people. We all go through it. We have
moments of time where we think we're good and we're not.
(10:28):
We're Sometimes we're not good and we think we're not
we are. But here's my problem with this. If I
was given inside information about a UTSA situation, there is
no amount of money in the world that I would tell.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Someone about that.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
If I knew that they were gamblers, or even even
if they weren't gamblers.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
I wouldn't tell them.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
There is nothing that I've wanted to do in my
life since I was nine years old more than what
I get to do when UTSA plays football or basketball.
Would there is no amount of money, there is no cost,
and there's no price tag on the joy that I
personally get when I get to do that. And I
would think that if you're a football player a basketball player,
(11:14):
there is no more personal joy that you have in
your life, outside of maybe your wedding day or the
birth of your kids. There is likely no bigger joy
than playing the game. And yes, I understand your baby
needs food and diapers and on formula and all that
kind of stuff, but you're taking us the easy way
(11:35):
out and you are selling out the one thing that
you wanted to do your entire life and are good
enough to do it at the collegiate level. And there's
got to be some league somewhere in this world that
if you're good enough to play college basketball, that you
can go get a job in some country playing pro basketball.
UTSA had a player a few years ago, and I'm
not calling him out other than the fact that he's
(11:56):
made something out of himself. His name was James Ringholt
and he was part of Brooks twn Mpson's teams, and
he played one year with Steve Henson's teams, and he
got about four minutes a game on average, which means
he played the blowouts and that's pretty much when he
got to play. Occasionally he got in games and occasionally
he made some threes. And he was from Australia, and
(12:17):
James went back to Australia where he's been a player
and a coach for the last fourteen years or however
long he's been gone. As a had a professional career
where he was signing contracts. If you can play four
minutes a game at New Orleans University, there's a place
in this world that will pay you to play basketball.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
It may be a sacrifice to you.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
You may have to get on a plane and move
your family to some country you don't want to live in.
But it beats working, ats ears and he get to
do what you want to do, and you don't need
the gamblers that throw you a few hundred dollars here
and there because you decided to shay points. I have
zero respect for what day Day Hunter did, whether or
not he needed food for his kid or not. There's
(12:58):
a better chance there's better opportunities out there than that.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
I think that I think that it's kind of a
harsh approach, no offense to take it in a philosophical
way of like losing your love for the game as
opposed to hypothetically is all hypothetical speculation feeding your children.
Because I think in anybody else's situation, they would also
take the quickest, easy way.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Why not rob a bank?
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Well, that's not that's totally different.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
That's different.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Robbing a bank is different than making a bank.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
It's still going you're still going to jail.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
Right, Well, yeah, But the thing is is like for one,
you're more like I also get shot robbing a bank.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
My point is you are breaking the law and selling yourself.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
You're not doing it for selfish reasons.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
You're doing it, Yes, you are, Go get a job.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
In your scenario, he's doing.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
To help out his kid. A job everybody is hiring.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
I understand that.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
But like the quickest way to make more money might
be one thing than the other.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
It's a quick way go be a drug mule. It
does well.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
No, no, all of those things are. It's worse than gambling.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
Absolutely worse than gambling. Being a drug bill. You're gambling
only hurts yourself. Drug mule hurts multiple.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
No, it does not.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
It hurts everybody that watch that game, and it feels
like that game is legit.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
But they're not. But they might not die from that.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Nobody, nobody outside of New Orleans probably cares about New
Orleans University. Sure, but what and who they play and
what the score was and how many points Day they
Hunter scored. Right, But it doesn't matter what crime you're committing.
It's still a crime. Now, there may be lesser levels
of crime, but there's a lot of people that have
taken the easy way out, and Day Day Hunter took
(14:25):
the easy way out, and apparently there's a lot of
NBA basketball players that are willing to sell out their
NBA career for a few thousand dollars.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
Well, that part is stupid, especially if you're already making
that much more money meant college player pre nil.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
But I get out of school, call your agent, say
I'll go to Greece, I'll go to Australia. I'll go
to New Zealand. I'll play on the North Pole. Get
me a contract and they'll get them one and he
can go get money and wire it back to his team.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
But there's no guarantee one that he could get that job.
In two that will be another sup there's they no
guarantee for that.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
There's no guarantee, but there is there's a really good
chance that he can play somewhere. If you're a college
basketball player, there is probably a pro league that will
pay you money somewhere. And if James Ringholk can play
pro for nine years in Australia, I guarantee you a
day day hunter can to.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
I mean, that's that's fair in that And I understand.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
I understand you need food, and I understand you need
to take care of your family, and I understand, but
you don't do it at selling out your passion and
your team and your teammates and the people that are
paying money to go there.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
I think at some point that your priority change.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Other other mean, I don't care what your priority is.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Otherwise, go play in the league where the game is fixed,
and let everybody know that the game is fixed before
you show up.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
So you want him to be a wrestler, sure.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Go be a go go go play.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Because that's established.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Well yeah, go go go do w W and go
do go go play for the Washington Generals. You know
you're gonna lose to the Globetrotters, but they're gonna pay you.
He's got options and he chose the wrong one.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
I don't know how much. I don't know how much
the general players get paid.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
More than get something, or they wouldn't be doing it
three hundred days a year.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
I mean, NFL refs like they just recently got paid
a lot more money than I do. Now, I'm just saying, like,
just because you're in a show don't mean you get
paid show time money.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Yeah, but apparently there's some of these guys that could
do ten to fifteen years in jail for fixing games
or shaving points.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
I don't care.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
I think that it's really important for you to do
the things well. I think, first of all, I think
it's really important that you don't sell out your sport,
even for I can't think of anything whatsoever that would
make that that that doable. And understand, dayDay Hunter's never
going to play basketball again, right, He's never going to
(16:36):
be on any team ever. And he's twenty something years old,
and he's capable of being on a team somewhere and
getting paid to play, and he for a very short
term fix. He took an option that is going to
take him away. He's never going to coach, he's never
going to officiate, he's never going to be an agent,
he's never going to have anything whatsoever to do with
pro basketball college basketball. He couldn't even get a job
(17:00):
but a junior high coach on the JV team ever.
Because he did this, that to me is selling yourself short.
There are other options out there. He chose the wrong one.
I think someone would hire m for JV.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
If Mark Brows can get a job coaching football to
what he did, this guy can get a job coaching JV.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
Maybe somebody somebody in the stands as soon as mom
and Dad are watching the JV game and he brings
in somebody that's not very good. For somebody that is good.
Somebody's gonna wonder if he had a behind the bleacher
bet with somebody. That guy's life is tainted because he
did it and then he admitted to it.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
You can't do that.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
And my fear is is that we're going to find
a bunch of NBA guys that are doing it too,
and that's gonna really make put Adam Silver in a
big time jam. All Right, we'll talk about the Aggies comeback.
We'll talk about the Spurs without Wimby. Damon Green got
a little bit upset with a fan and a lot
more coming up on the ticket

Speaker 1 (00:31):
On a Monday, and thank you for spending your afternoon
with us wherever it is that you may be. As
so we get into everything happening in the world in sports,
and of course we've had two or three things break
in the last half hour just as the show is
about to begin. We'll get to all of that coming up.
I'm Andy Everett. The audio disseminator and producer of today's
program is Shane Carter.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Good to see you again.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
I have returned after vacation. It wasn't vacation. There's no
such thing as vacation. You're flying everywhere September in March.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
It feels like the last two weeks I've seen you
in person, maybe two days.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Yeah, it's that time of the year.
Speaker 4 (01:09):
I think I've seen more of Puma and more of
Dylan than I have of you.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Absolutely, they don't have to go anywhere. The games are
where their games are, and that's where you got to go.
And that's what I signed up for, not complaining. But
there is some stress involved, but we're going to get
through it all anyway. The news that broke about twenty
minutes ago is that James Franklin is going to take
over a Virginia Tech.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
I think that was expected. I'll tell you why.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
I think that's a great hire for Virginia Tech and
for James Franklin. I think James Franklin is a really
good coach. The expectation at Penn State is to win
the national championship every year. I think that's an unrealistic
expectation for any program not named Ohio State, Georgia, maybe
Texas and Alabama others. Penn State's a blue blood, but
(01:55):
they still have to beat Ohio State, Oregon, USC, Michigan,
and Penn State. In the last twenty years hasn't been
the same. Penn State as they were in the seventies
and eighties and nineties. Now Indiana, well, I think Indiana's
Indiana's there because of in IL, and maybe they're going
to always be there because of in IL. But they're
not a blue blood. They may be a blue blood
(02:17):
in basketball, they are not a blue blood in football.
And it's very it's not setting well with the likes
of Penn State because I'll bet you you know, the
first of all, Signetti gets a raise because Penn State
was going to take him.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Now.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
I don't think Signetti's any better or any less of
a coach than James Franklin. But the reason that Indiana
is good is because they've invested and Signetti has hit
on some players. And the reason that Penn State has
struggled is that Drew Aller is overrated, like I told
you he was, and James Franklin has missed on some players.
And now you can go to Virginia Tech, where if
(02:51):
you get to the ACC Championship game, they may name
a room after you at the school. I know that
Virginia Tech fans probably don't want to hear this, but
they're not a blue blood either. And even though they
had Michael Vick in the pack Pack in the past.
Great for them, they were great for their standard, but
they're not national championship team. You're not thinking Virginia Tech
(03:14):
every year. And right now I would think Virginia Tech
is the fourth or fifth best program.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
In the ACC.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Miami is likely number one, Clemson will get better and
as soon as Dabo figures out, I gotta you know,
I can't beat him. I got to join them with
the ni L and transfer portal that they're number two,
and I think SMU is number three. Louisville and North
Carolina State occasionally are more interesting. Sure, Florida State is
dead broke. Tallahassee doesn't have any money. It's a it's
(03:42):
a state capital. I mean it really is. No, I'm
not disagree with yeah, but but Florida State can't keep
up with Miami and Florida in the same state from
a money standpoint.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Even pitt is doing better than the last couple of.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Years, and Pittsburgh's gonna Pittsburgh's doing better. But also Pittsburgh
is another place that does not have a lot of
corporate industry. They've got a lot of blue collar steel
steel workers and miners that the country absolutely needs to
run the infrastructure of the world, but they're not.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
They're compared to Philadelphia.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
In that area, sure if and it's it's unfortunate that Temple, uh,
and Philadelphia is really a pro city.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
None.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
None of the the the city teams used to be
really good in basketball. But I can't ever recall a
Philadelphia area school being good in football.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Temple doesn't.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
And then the others all played FCS or FB FCS
or Division III. So uh, they're they're not a factor
in football. But anyway, I I think that the Penn
State job, the expectation was unrealistic.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
A lot of times. He did some things.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
That were kind of off the cuff a little bit, uh,
and it didn't work out. Drew Aller, I think a
lot of people thought was better than he is. I
never thought he was that good to begin with. I
thought he was in the JJ McCarthy maybe a little
less standard. That means he'll probably get drafted, but I
don't see him becoming, you know, the next great quarterback
in the NFL. Should be wrong, but anyway, that's the
(05:08):
first story. The next story was Victor wimen Yama's calf
strain is going to keep him out for two to
three weeks.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
According to Sham's.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
I don't know what it is about calf strains, but
everybody's getting him and whether we're taping ankles too tight
or we're restricting knee movement, because all of that's connected
and is Doc Garrett has told as many times before.
When you button down one area, that puts strain on
the other area, and calf injuries, I understand, are delicate. Fortunately,
I have incredibly tight calves. I've been trying to get
(05:38):
them looser because.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
As yourself up there, huh well no, no, they're tight
in a bad way.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
They're not as in, not flexible because part of the
golf swing requires movement in the feed area. And over
the last ten or fifteen years, I've gotten really tight there.
So the trainer and when I work out and when
I do the stretching and stuff, I need to loosen
the calves because when you get tight calves, as you age,
you slow you're swinging down.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Do you do the bands?
Speaker 1 (06:05):
I do basically a lot of yoga stuff like the
downward dog stuff to stretch them out, And then there's
also a I don't I do a stretch that when
I'm doing it by myself.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
I have bands.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
If there's somebody there to stretch me, then they can
basically become the.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Bands like cal cenics, you do that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Yeah, it's more, you know, laying on the ground and
moving to where you flex. You can feel a strain
in those areas. But it's something that I'm not trying
to compare myself to Victor women Yamas.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
I mean, he's twenty years old to begin with.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
I'm sixty one, so there's a little bit of an
age gap, and mine are supposed to be tight at
that age, although I want them looser so I can
hit bombs. Again, I don't hit it as far as
I'd like, and neither is anybody else that's sixty years old.
But the point is is that there's something going on
with calves because almost every player in the league is
getting them now, and so the trainers or if ISIO
(06:58):
guys are going, let's do this to prevent hamstrings, let's
do this to prevent ptelotendonitis, let's do this to prevent ankles.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Oh oh, now it's calves that are going to get something.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
So we got to figure out a way to work
on that, and this is a huge stretch for the
Spurs because I think the team that is going to
win the West and in the best position to be
the Western Conference champion and be in that Western Conference
finals is the team that stays the healthiest. Apparently, Castle's
got a hip injury too that we got to deal with,
(07:29):
and we don't know how long he's going to be out,
so we'll get to that coming up. The Agis had
an amazing historic comeback on Saturday, down thirty to three,
and they came rowing back to win the game thirty
one to three. Congrats to the Aggies. I don't think
you're going to stumble against Sanford. You could probably play
the third team and beat them. But you've got a
big date coming up with Texas next Friday after this
(07:51):
Saturday's game against Sanford, and you could very well be
in the college football Top two because Ohio State still
got to play and Indiana still got to play some
games before then, you're going to be top three at worse.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
I'm not so.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
I haven't honestly watched an Indiana game this year, and
the Ohio State game that I watched was the Texas
game back when we were getting ready for the Aggi
game on Opening Day with UTSA. So anyway, I think
the Aggis are really really good, and I know there's
a lot of people that where burn orangs that aren't
thrilled about it, but you're gonna have to get over
(08:29):
it because they're likely going to be the top top
two or three seed that is, I mean, they're gonna
win a college football playoff game. And as we get
further in the show, we'll kind of give you the
matchups and who would play whom depending on what we
see right now. I think there's gonna be three teams
from the Big Ten, and I think there's going to
be five from the SEC that make the final four
(08:49):
or the final twelve.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
So we'll get all of that coming up.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
There is something on the horizon that very much concerns
me that we're gonna have to get to a little bit,
and the NBA has asked the Lakers, and several Lakers
staff members have already turned over cell phones, pictures, and
cell phone records within communication with Damon Jones, and apparently
Damon Jones was not only a coach for the Lakers,
(09:15):
but he was kind of Lebron's valet.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
If you will.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
He was the guy that was really trying to work
with Lebron on a number of things. And they're wondering
the feds are who did what and who said what?
And how much did people know in relation to the
gambling probes that's going on around both college and pro football,
college and pro basketball. And this is Adam Silver's worst nightmare.
(09:38):
And I don't understand why people are I I'll tell
you a quick story here because I read this today.
There's a guy that played for the New Orleans University
not long ago. His name was day Day Hunter, and
day Day Hunter said, yep, he told Good Morning America.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
I shay points.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
I'd missed a few shots here and there so that
my totals for the game were under I had a
newborn child. I needed the money. The school wasn't taking
care of me, so I thought I.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Would take care of myself.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
And I was approached by anonymous betters from the MGM,
or that bet at MGM, and they wanted me to
make sure I didn't get X amount of points so
they could win the prop bets. You know, I know
times are tough as they always have been. And guess
what in the future they'll be tough too for a
lot of people. We all go through it. We have
moments of time where we think we're good and we're not.
(10:28):
We're Sometimes we're not good and we think we're not
we are. But here's my problem with this. If I
was given inside information about a UTSA situation, there is
no amount of money in the world that I would tell.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Someone about that.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
If I knew that they were gamblers, or even even
if they weren't gamblers.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
I wouldn't tell them.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
There is nothing that I've wanted to do in my
life since I was nine years old more than what
I get to do when UTSA plays football or basketball.
Would there is no amount of money, there is no cost,
and there's no price tag on the joy that I
personally get when I get to do that. And I
would think that if you're a football player a basketball player,
(11:14):
there is no more personal joy that you have in
your life, outside of maybe your wedding day or the
birth of your kids. There is likely no bigger joy
than playing the game. And yes, I understand your baby
needs food and diapers and on formula and all that
kind of stuff, but you're taking us the easy way
(11:35):
out and you are selling out the one thing that
you wanted to do your entire life and are good
enough to do it at the collegiate level. And there's
got to be some league somewhere in this world that
if you're good enough to play college basketball, that you
can go get a job in some country playing pro basketball.
UTSA had a player a few years ago, and I'm
not calling him out other than the fact that he's
(11:56):
made something out of himself. His name was James Ringholt
and he was part of Brooks twn Mpson's teams, and
he played one year with Steve Henson's teams, and he
got about four minutes a game on average, which means
he played the blowouts and that's pretty much when he
got to play. Occasionally he got in games and occasionally
he made some threes. And he was from Australia, and
(12:17):
James went back to Australia where he's been a player
and a coach for the last fourteen years or however
long he's been gone. As a had a professional career
where he was signing contracts. If you can play four
minutes a game at New Orleans University, there's a place
in this world that will pay you to play basketball.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
It may be a sacrifice to you.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
You may have to get on a plane and move
your family to some country you don't want to live in.
But it beats working, ats ears and he get to
do what you want to do, and you don't need
the gamblers that throw you a few hundred dollars here
and there because you decided to shay points. I have
zero respect for what day Day Hunter did, whether or
not he needed food for his kid or not. There's
(12:58):
a better chance there's better opportunities out there than that.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
I think that I think that it's kind of a
harsh approach, no offense to take it in a philosophical
way of like losing your love for the game as
opposed to hypothetically is all hypothetical speculation feeding your children.
Because I think in anybody else's situation, they would also
take the quickest, easy way.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Why not rob a bank?
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Well, that's not that's totally different.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
That's different.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Robbing a bank is different than making a bank.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
It's still going you're still going to jail.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
Right, Well, yeah, But the thing is is like for one,
you're more like I also get shot robbing a bank.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
My point is you are breaking the law and selling yourself.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
You're not doing it for selfish reasons.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
You're doing it, Yes, you are, Go get a job.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
In your scenario, he's doing.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
To help out his kid. A job everybody is hiring.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
I understand that.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
But like the quickest way to make more money might
be one thing than the other.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
It's a quick way go be a drug mule. It
does well.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
No, no, all of those things are. It's worse than gambling.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
Absolutely worse than gambling. Being a drug bill. You're gambling
only hurts yourself. Drug mule hurts multiple.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
No, it does not.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
It hurts everybody that watch that game, and it feels
like that game is legit.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
But they're not. But they might not die from that.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Nobody, nobody outside of New Orleans probably cares about New
Orleans University. Sure, but what and who they play and
what the score was and how many points Day they
Hunter scored. Right, But it doesn't matter what crime you're committing.
It's still a crime. Now, there may be lesser levels
of crime, but there's a lot of people that have
taken the easy way out, and Day Day Hunter took
(14:25):
the easy way out, and apparently there's a lot of
NBA basketball players that are willing to sell out their
NBA career for a few thousand dollars.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
Well, that part is stupid, especially if you're already making
that much more money meant college player pre nil.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
But I get out of school, call your agent, say
I'll go to Greece, I'll go to Australia. I'll go
to New Zealand. I'll play on the North Pole. Get
me a contract and they'll get them one and he
can go get money and wire it back to his team.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
But there's no guarantee one that he could get that job.
In two that will be another sup there's they no
guarantee for that.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
There's no guarantee, but there is there's a really good
chance that he can play somewhere. If you're a college
basketball player, there is probably a pro league that will
pay you money somewhere. And if James Ringholk can play
pro for nine years in Australia, I guarantee you a
day day hunter can to.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
I mean, that's that's fair in that And I understand.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
I understand you need food, and I understand you need
to take care of your family, and I understand, but
you don't do it at selling out your passion and
your team and your teammates and the people that are
paying money to go there.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
I think at some point that your priority change.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Other other mean, I don't care what your priority is.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Otherwise, go play in the league where the game is fixed,
and let everybody know that the game is fixed before
you show up.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
So you want him to be a wrestler, sure.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Go be a go go go play.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Because that's established.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Well yeah, go go go do w W and go
do go go play for the Washington Generals. You know
you're gonna lose to the Globetrotters, but they're gonna pay you.
He's got options and he chose the wrong one.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
I don't know how much. I don't know how much
the general players get paid.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
More than get something, or they wouldn't be doing it
three hundred days a year.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
I mean, NFL refs like they just recently got paid
a lot more money than I do. Now, I'm just saying, like,
just because you're in a show don't mean you get
paid show time money.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Yeah, but apparently there's some of these guys that could
do ten to fifteen years in jail for fixing games
or shaving points.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
I don't care.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
I think that it's really important for you to do
the things well. I think, first of all, I think
it's really important that you don't sell out your sport,
even for I can't think of anything whatsoever that would
make that that that doable. And understand, dayDay Hunter's never
going to play basketball again, right, He's never going to
(16:36):
be on any team ever. And he's twenty something years old,
and he's capable of being on a team somewhere and
getting paid to play, and he for a very short
term fix. He took an option that is going to
take him away. He's never going to coach, he's never
going to officiate, he's never going to be an agent,
he's never going to have anything whatsoever to do with
pro basketball college basketball. He couldn't even get a job
(17:00):
but a junior high coach on the JV team ever.
Because he did this, that to me is selling yourself short.
There are other options out there. He chose the wrong one.
I think someone would hire m for JV.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
If Mark Brows can get a job coaching football to
what he did, this guy can get a job coaching JV.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
Maybe somebody somebody in the stands as soon as mom
and Dad are watching the JV game and he brings
in somebody that's not very good. For somebody that is good.
Somebody's gonna wonder if he had a behind the bleacher
bet with somebody. That guy's life is tainted because he
did it and then he admitted to it.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
You can't do that.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
And my fear is is that we're going to find
a bunch of NBA guys that are doing it too,
and that's gonna really make put Adam Silver in a
big time jam. All Right, we'll talk about the Aggies comeback.
We'll talk about the Spurs without Wimby. Damon Green got
a little bit upset with a fan and a lot
more coming up on the ticket

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
