Speaker 2 (00:31):
Well, the weekend is coming gone.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
It's time for us to get back in the saddle
for the next five days and talk sports with you.
And Monday shows are easy to do because we got
so much to get to and we had a compelling
weekend with a great basketball game on Friday night. I
assume there was hockey this weekend. I didn't watch, But
then there was the US Open that commits that commits
last week and ended last night, and a great way

(00:55):
to end the golf weekend with JJ Spahn, the twenty
twenty two Texas Open champion, taking the title. I mean,
do you ever at the audio disseminators today or Shane
Cutter and of course Michael Bartlet, the producer of this show,
and JJ Spawn with about one hundred and thirty seven
feet of putts in the last four holes.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
Ice is the US Open. Yeah yeah, how about that?

Speaker 1 (01:19):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (01:19):
You know who would have thought that?

Speaker 3 (01:21):
Uh? Scotti Scheffler finishing at four over and putted terribly,
put terribly.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
He was right there if he'd a putted good This week.

Speaker 3 (01:28):
Tied for seventh with with your favorite guy, you know,
John Rahm, but uh good, never heard of him exactly.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
He's dead to me. He's on the Lift tour.

Speaker 3 (01:37):
But good for good for JJ spawn and uh I
saw over the weekend obviously with some of the weather
conditions and just the course in general. Because I think
you're aware Caitlyn Clark is a golf fan.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
She golf. Yeah, she was like she tweeted about it was.

Speaker 3 (01:54):
Like, yeah, I'd probably finished like one I'd shoot like
one third maybe.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
Yeah, we'll talk. We'll talk about that coming up here
in a little bit. But what a terrific performance by
JJ Spawn. I've never seen a golfer do this, but
it makes sense since he was soaking wet after the
eighth hole and before they teed off on nine, or
about to tee, or play their second shot on nine,
whatever it was. He was playing so badly that when
he went back into the locker room for the hour

(02:19):
and a half delay, he changed his entire clothes. He
still had blue pants on, but it was a different
blue shirt when he came back out in the afternoon,
and he said, I just wanted to get rid of
everything that happened in the first eight holes and start
all over. So whatever magic he found there, it certainly
works well.

Speaker 3 (02:34):
But I mean I would assume a lot of other
golfers would do that because if they're drenched, that's well,
that's more weight on them when you're swinging.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
Well, it's just it's comfortable. It's uncomfortable anything else.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
But you know, it's every golfer when they show up
further a week at the wherever they're staying, whether it's
a hotel or a residence or you know, a VRBO, whatever,
there's a FedEx package on the doorstep with what they're
supposed to wear that week. Every single manufacturer dictates what
its players play where each week, and there's several different

(03:07):
versions of that, so that if you do get wet
or get a sharpie mark on it or spill food
on it at breakfast that you can change it so
that it looks good for television after all. And this
will be a theme that I get to a little
bit later on. We are putting on a television show here.
Of course, it's all about TV and about entertainment, So
what a terrific deal for JJ spawn. We'll talk about

(03:29):
the US Open coming up in the next segment, and
also in the six o'clock hour. I've got a whole
bunch of other thoughts on this and the Life From Crew.
I put this on Facebook if you read my Facebook post,
But I'm not very happy with what the USGA and
RNA want to do with the ball rollback. And I
have a agreement with Brandal Shamblee and a major disagreement

(03:53):
with Paul McGinley on the Life From set.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
So we'll talk about all that coming up.

Speaker 1 (03:58):
We had a fantastic finish to Game four in Indianapolis
on the Friday nights, and I really think that this
was a game that Oklahoma City had to have to
win it, and I also thought it was a game
that Indiana really had to have because I just don't
see either team beating the other team on an elimination game.
I think this is going seven now. I think the
thunder wind to night. I think Indiana responds on Thursday,

(04:21):
and a week from yesterday we'll have a game seven
on Sunday night, where the home team I think will
have the advantage going the rest of the way. There
was a lot of whistles in the fourth quarter, and
most of those whistles were coming from Scott Foster. Scott
Foster got more TV time than some of the players
did on Friday nights.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
Now, I don't care.

Speaker 1 (04:40):
I know Chris Paul doesn't like Scott Foster or they
have an issue somewhere along the way allegedly, But I
just I don't think officials are doing it on purpose.
But it just seemed like it was all about Scott
Foster in the fourth quarter. And then Rick Carlisle came
out after all the Indiana FAMI we're all over at

(05:01):
Foster and said, I've known him for thirty years.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
He's a good person. Yea.

Speaker 1 (05:06):
All the criticism is stupid and ridiculous, so back off.
So maybe that gives him some brownie points. If Scott
Foster's officiating Game six or seven.

Speaker 3 (05:16):
I don't know if it necessarily gives him brownie points,
but I think if nothing else, the backing of Rick
Carlisle is just saying because being it was, it was
in Indiana, you know, so you can't say that it
was home court advantage.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
It's just this the way refereeing.

Speaker 1 (05:35):
Because when you texted me, you know, I said, Scott
Foster has been I've gotten a lot of TV times.
I think he's the only a referee that's actually made
a call in this entire in this fire or fourth quarter.

Speaker 3 (05:45):
What sucks is there is such a discretion and back
and forth when it comes to what should be a call,
what should not be a call, what's the letter of
the law kind of a thing. We see in the
regular season that hey, they don't want a lot of physicalness,
so that's why you get more calls we saw in

(06:05):
the first and second round.

Speaker 2 (06:07):
You know, I'm half heartedly joking to you.

Speaker 3 (06:09):
I mean, you could basically cold clock somebody and they're
not going to get you know, no blood, no foul.
But then in the conference finals it was, hey, if
you put a hand on somebody, it's just a flip floppiness.
It's let's stick to one type of refereeing. This is
what's going to get called.

Speaker 1 (06:27):
I just don't think that the NBA grades hits officials
throughout the year, and the top twenty twenty five officials
get the majority, if not all, of the playoff assignments,
and the krim to the krim of officials get to
do the finals. And I think they randomly picked four
officials three to referee the game in an alternate in
case one gets hurt or sick, and those are the

(06:49):
ones that get Game one, and then they put the
next three or four out there, and then they recycle
those as the series gets into a fifth, sixth, or
seventh game. So I don't know we'll see Scott Foster
in game six or game seven, but the possibility I
think exists.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
Uh. And they're not you.

Speaker 1 (07:06):
Get paid extra for those playoff games, in those finals games,
so they're not just going to put one crew out
there to officiate all seven games. And I don't think
the coaches or the players would like that because as
much as the teams start hating each other by about
game five and are sick and tired of looking on
the other side, I'm sure that they're both coaches and
players were like, do I have to put up with

(07:26):
you again tonight?

Speaker 2 (07:27):
From an officiating standpoint.

Speaker 3 (07:28):
Well, but if nothing else, if if they do that
down the road, at least you have continuity to where
you know, hey, well with this crew at least for
four games, so we know what they're going to call.

Speaker 1 (07:43):
But but the difference, like baseball has seven HU has
six umpires and an alternate for the World Series and
the playoffs and so, but if they go seven games,
they're going to have seven different people calling balls and strikes.
They rotate them in a you know, from first to home,
the second, the third to left.

Speaker 2 (08:00):
Or right back to home.

Speaker 1 (08:01):
But that's the same it's and it is the same crew.
But in baseball, there's only one guy that really matters.
I mean, it's instant replay is going to determine faull
and fair balls, and in the future, the robot's gonna
determine balls and strikes. But the guy behind the plate
is the most important official and that changes all seven games.
Where in the NBA the officials are constantly rotating where

(08:24):
they are on the court. I don't think I think
it's not fair for those who have deserved it to
just say, these three guys are going to are gonna
do all seven games, and I don't know that either
team or player would want the same official, you know,
especially if you have a grudge against an official, or
you think an official.

Speaker 2 (08:40):
Has a grudge against you. I don't see that coming.

Speaker 1 (08:43):
All right, Rafael Dever's got traded out of Boston as
far away as he could possibly go to San Francisco.
We'll talk about that. Otani's gonna pitch a night for
the Dodgers. I'm going to talk about this in the
five o'clock hour. I was listening to one of the
Fox shows this weekend when I was driving, and I
don't remember which one it was, but whatever, it's on
Saturday mornings, and they were saying that, or one of

(09:07):
the guys was saying and there was only one guy,
that the NBA is oversaturated because there's too many games
that are on national TV and not just your local games.
I don't disagree with that, that baseball you can pretty
much watch a game every night if you want, and
that the NFL is getting to that stage, and that
we should get rid of Monday night football, and we
should consider getting rid of Thursday night football and only

(09:28):
have Sunday Night football.

Speaker 2 (09:30):
But there's a big difference I think with the NFL.

Speaker 1 (09:32):
Number One, it's called gambling and fantasy, so you have
that aspect to it. And number two, I'm not a
big proponent of the NFL playing every day of the week.
I understand they're going to start playing on Christmas Day
more and more often after last year, and I don't
care nothing I say or dude's going to change that.
So that's going to happen. But I don't necessarily think
we need a Tuesday in, a Friday night NFL game

(09:54):
or a Saturday night NFL game until we get deeper
into the season. But I don't think the NFL could
ever get sadatated because of the gambling aspect and the
fact that it's only eighteen games. You could make an
argument that a baseball season that there are games that
are irrelevant. The other is a game as long as
you don't get into a prolific streak like the White
Sox last year or the Rockies this year, you can

(10:16):
always come back and there's plenty of time to kind
of catch up. But football is another animal. Every one
of those seventeen and eventually eighteen games matters.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
Yeah, but.

Speaker 3 (10:28):
I do think that there is there can be a
little bit of oversaturation when it comes to NFL because
think of it from the aspect of when we have
these Thursday night football games, especially late in the season,
that cannot get flexed out. When we're getting Giants who
are two to ten versus Jets who are you know,

(10:48):
three and.

Speaker 2 (10:49):
Whatever, it's ugly football.

Speaker 3 (10:52):
It's bad football, especially if they're playing off of a Sunday.

Speaker 1 (10:56):
But we need to figure out a way to flex
those games out. But here's here's the thought on that too. Also,
we'll get into this deeper in the five o'clock hour.
The I I'm only going to get to see three
games on Sunday unless I have the NFL Sunday Package
or the Sunday Ticket or the red Zone or whatever.

(11:17):
I'm going to get the two noon games. I'm gonna
get the evening I guess four if I watch Sunday night.
And let's say I don't ever get to watch Pittsburgh
play because they're not in my market. You know, I
don't get any I don't get Pittsburgh games, but I'm
a Pittsburgh fan. But occasionally they show up on Thursday.
Occasionally they show up on Monday night, Now get up.
I get them because they're the primetime game where they

(11:39):
when they're in the noonslaught or or the three thirty slot,
I'm not going to get that game because it's not
my market. So I think it exposes more teams to
more fans. They don't necessarily get to see those teams
play if they were if we played everything on Sunday.
Texas status GA is about to consider moving to the
PAC twelve. I've got some thoughts on that. The Kevin
Durantz takes continues. He wants to come to San Antonio

(12:03):
as one of his three choices, but the Suns want
more than anybody else's offering. But maybe this purse will
still have the best deal. And Natasha Cloud, who plays
for the WNBA's New York Liberty, we got to fit.
The WNBA has got a lot of positive things, but
I don't know how the management deals with some of
this stuff, and I don't know how the players deal

(12:26):
with management. I've always thought that the WNBA is full
of some fantastic human beings who don't know how to
conduct business. And I'll talk about that coming up in
the six o'clock hour as well. Let's talk about the
US Open next, and we'll get to Game five of
the NBA Finals in the next half hour.
