Enjoy this podcast of the Andy Ever Show.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Here we go on a Monday after an epic weekend
of golf and sports and golf and a lot of
golf and Masters champion and a Grand Slam champion and
all that good stuff. It is Monday afternoon. Thank you
for being part of the show and that will be
a big focus of what we talk about today on
the program. I'm Andy Everett. Audio disseminators for Shane Carter,
(00:52):
producer of this show is Mike Bartlett. Thank you for
making a part of your day with us. And I
know the Spurs played yesterday, and I know that the
NBA regular season ended yesterday, and there's a lot of
other stories that we'll get too over the weekend. But
I've always said this about sports. There is no reality
TV show that's ever better than that. Not Big Brother
(01:14):
and not Dancing with the Stars or whatever else you
can All that stuff can be scripted. This was epic drama,
epic theater. Rory choked about seventeen times yesterday, but he
recovered from the choke eighteen times and ended up with
a big time win. And he is a Grand Slam
champion and more importantly, for the first time in his life.
(01:35):
Mike Bartlett watched hours of the Masters this weekend.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Which one are you on? All right? How about that? Mike?
Speaker 3 (01:45):
I might be on the wrong mind. Yeah you are
all right. You hear the curve ball? And I was
sorry about that.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
All right, switch it back live radio again, a live radio.
All right, there we go? All right, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
I was actually flipping back and forth from the Spurs
game for Masters coverage and I was telling you, not
only did you win, but I had the text ready
to go. My finger was on the send button of
Reggie said something, is he gonna choke again?
Speaker 2 (02:14):
I had the Reggie Miller gift of him just doing
the I was like, man, but uh, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
That that's why sports, like you mentioned, is the best
reality TV there is. Go back to UH years ago,
UH Minnesota Vikings, that Minnesota miracle with Stefan Diggs game
winning touchdown, the Mile High Miracle. Was it the Tennessee
Titans against the Bills. I think the you know, uh
(02:41):
lateral on the kickoff to win the game. So that's
why sports is the most unscripted thing there is, even
though we think at times.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Yeah, it's the best drama. Well, there's no way in
golf you can script that a bit. You can listen.
I don't know of a hard get. I guess hitting
a baseball that's throwing at you one hundred miles an hour,
or the physicalness of football, or the precision of basketball.
They all take special skills. But in every one of
those sports you have teammates. You have teammates that back
you up. You have teammates that if you strike out,
(03:11):
the next guy can get a hit. If somebody drops
a past, the next guy can catch one. But in golf,
you're all there by yourself for the world to see.
You have so much scar tissue, as Rory's had for
the last fourteen years after losing the Masters in twenty eleven.
You're the next player in line to win the Grand Slam.
You're trying to get your first Green jacket, and everything
(03:33):
in the world is spinning around you, and that stuff
was everything about yesterday. I don't know if it's the
best Masters ever, because I don't think it was the
best played Masters ever, but it's up there in the
top five certain certainly one of the top five golf
events and sports events I've ever seen.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Well, it was the best Masters I've ever watched. Then
the first right, then well one of the second. We'll
just say one point five because I did watch the
end when Scotty was when Scotty was last, but you're
speaking of Scotty, we were, you know, kind of joking
about this.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Scotty played poor ish.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
I guess what, finished fourth, nine under, Yeah, which is
subpar for him.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Suck.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
They had finished fourth with and three and two shots
out of the lab.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
I was just waiting for him. At some point when
Warriors choking, I'm like, hey, Scotty's coming, and then Scotty's
just like, well.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Whatever, We're going to talk Masters in all three hours today,
so we'll get to that more in the next segment,
and congrats to Rory for finally getting the job done.
The NBA Playoffs are set in the West. The Kings
and the MAVs and the Warriors and Grislies play the
play in tournament this week. I think if the Warriors
win and get the seventh seed, that they're going to
(04:46):
beat the Rockets in the first round of the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
I'm throwing that out there right now.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
I think the Rockets are are not ready for prime time,
and I think the Warriors will figure out a way
to win a sixer game, seven game series. In that
the Spurs had a fourteen game improvement this year from
last year, so that was great to see. And one
of the stats that I think is most most noticeable
(05:10):
is the fact that three players on the Spurs roster
played in all eighty two games, and the oldest of
them all, Chris Paul, started every one of them. And
for all this load management nonsense, if those guys can
do it, others can.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Too, they just choose not to. By the way, it
was only twelve they were two last year. Okay, year
before is when they won twenty. So a twelve game improvement, yeah,
very much. Twelve game improvement and you know, you could
say what ten of those games were without the alien himself.
Victor women Yama, who showed up last night, even commented on,
(05:45):
you know, the recovery process and how he's doing. Basically
in a nutshell, said, he's following the doctor's orders. He's
not ahead of schedule, he's not behind schedule. He's just
right where he needs to be. He can do conditioning,
but no contact yet. And then you know with dearon
Fox as well. So but yeah, it was it was
(06:05):
great to see them, and especially on obviously Bill Schoening's
final game of the season and his career retiring.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
It was a good sendoff.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
It didn't look good in the first half, but the
second half why they played two halves Andy.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
One of the best news stories.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Of the week is what happened in Knoxville, Tennessee. Apparently
Nico I am Olava. I believe that I am Alava.
I believe is how I pronounce his name. It may
be something else, but anyway, we know you know who
I'm talking about, he told the Tennessee program. You know what,
I'm only making two million a year, and in I
owe money, I'm worth more than that. I'm not showing
(06:43):
up for practice this week and I'm not coming to
the spring game. And Josh Hypel said, okay, fine, see
you hit the road you're cutting and you don't get
your two million either, go look for go, get go,
get in the Portland, go somewhere else. I applo Jizh
Hipel for doing it. Whoever backed him doing it at Tennessee,
I applaud even more. I don't think he's that good
of a quarterback to begin with, that he's worth two
(07:03):
million dollars. I hear that Oregon and North Carolina. There's
a couple other schools tu Lane have expressed interest.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Oh that would be a way. He is good enough.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
He is a good enough quarterback to dominate the American Conference.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
We don't need him to come to Lane.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
But guess what, Tulane's got money. But they don't have
Oregon money, and they don't have Tennessee money, and they
don't have North Carolina money. I hope, I hope this
is a Dentis Schroeder thing. I hope, I hope he
gets less than two million. Whatever he is an IO
deal is less than what he was getting at Tennessee.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
I just hope that wherever he lands, it works out
for him and it doesn't turn into a you know,
he thought the grass was greener on the other side.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Because again I.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Go back to what the coaches and even Coach Trailer says,
and even I think Steve Starkeysen was asked about it,
maybe hypel.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
We're not blaming the player.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
It's there's no organization, there's no rules, no rules, and
there's also it's the people, the agents that are giving
them these ideas and advice and advice to push certain
things like that.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
But that's where these are not professional players yet, although
we're acting like their semi pro or minor league pro.
And there are some players in college football that are
making more than some players in the NFL, yeah, which
I think is ridiculous as well. I am all for
the players getting paid. I've been in that boat since
the mid eighties. I think they especially now with a
(08:32):
number of the dollars that are out there with college sports.
But this idea that you're twenty years old playing for
a college football team and you're getting two million dollars
from the collectives and you've got that's not enough. I
quit until you pay me more. I think that's a
terrible look, and I think what Josh Eipel did is
absolutely one hundred percent the right thing to do. We'll
(08:52):
talk more about that coming up in a little bit.
The w NBA draft is that tonight Paige Beckers is
supposed to get drafted number one by Dallas. After that,
we'll see how everything falls. Apparently we knew that mattish Bea,
the owner of the Sons, was rich, but he's really
really rich because now he's got three coaches on the
(09:13):
payroll and none of them work for him.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
He's fired all three of them.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Monty Williams and Vogel, Frank Vogel and now Mike Budd
are all out. I was listening to Doug a little
while ago, and he was under the impression or said
something that Mike Budd was having issues trying to feel
the staff and that the players were kind of tuning
him out, and especially Kevin Durant. And I hope that's
not the case, but if it is, Mike may have
(09:39):
a hard time getting a job someplace else in the NBA.
But if I'm getting paid fifty million dollars to not coach,
that's a good thing. I mean, he can always come
home he can always come back home. We first of all,
we got to know whether Pop's coming back or not.
But even then then you got to figure out, well
do you want to Well, well, here's the problem if
you become an assistant coach. There's two problems with him
(10:00):
back pedaling. To be an assistant coach. One you got
to do You've got to do the work of an
assistant coach number one. But number two, whatever you make
as an assistant coach gets deducted from what the Sons
owe you. So I think he sits on the sideline
until the next head coaching job and the next fifty
million dollar offer comes down the pipe.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
We'll see what happens good for him on that front.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
I think if i'm and I'll talk about this in
the six o'clock hour. The Sons have to look at
their roster. The roster is a mess. They do not
have a good roster, and they've got to fix the roster.
And I don't care who anybody outside of a miracle maker,
anything outside of some kind of deity that comes in
there to coach or gentleman, is that team. They've got
to fix the roster. Durant's got to go Bradley Beal's
(10:47):
got to go keep Devin Booker ll fix your roster
around him. But that rather that roster is a mess
and they're not going to ever win with what they got.
All right, We got all of that to get too.
We've got an espn at LOLO, a low moment in
their illustrious years as a provider of entertainment for all
of us.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
And we have.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Isaiah Thomas, who I do not like very well, but
he did say something recently that I thousand percent agree
with and.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
It doesn't change my mind.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
I feel about him the same way Michael Jordan does.
And if you don't know what I'm saying, I'm not
going I can't say it on the radio, but you
can go back and watch the documentary that we had
a few years ago, and Michael Jordan called him a
certain name, and I'm one hundred percent in agreement with that,
but I will give him credit when.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Credit is due.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
And he said something today that I think is a
thousand percent correct.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
We'll talk about that as well. That's all coming up.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
We'll start the show in the next segment with some
master's talk. Our Strickland's going to join us in the
six o'clock hour. It's a lot to get to in
the next two hours and forty five minutes, and we'll
get to all of it coming out on the ticket.
