Speaker 1 (00:00):
I'm starting to come around a little bit and come
over to the dark side of the Emirates Cup.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
And we will welcome all that. Wan.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
I'm going to jump on the vandwagon because if that
was just a regular what is today December eleventh? That
the regular December tenth game on a Wednesday Wednesday night,
You're like, yeah, okay, we lost by twenty we won
by twenty. Haf Spur. Somebody doesn't get to go to Vegas,
and that would be lebron.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Well and Keldon wouldn't have gotten enough money to buy
a lama.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Yeah, exactly. He wants a lama for his ranch. You
know where his ranch is? By the way, educate me,
I don't. I have no idea. I would assume probably
somewhere near Kerville. I would guess, okay, oh that's my guess.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
I was going to guess South. I don't know why
I go south.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Keldon seems more like an authentic country boy south Side.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
It's a customed himself to South Texas perfectly. That's he
is a I think he's a prototypical Spur, and after
his days are over, he may be like Shawn Elliott,
you know, just kind of hang around here and and
be the most successible Spur ever.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
He would be now that you say that, he's kind
of the obvious replacement for whenever Sean does want to retire.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Heldon can already, so he's got at least ten or
twelve more years, I would hope, unless he decides he
just doesn't want to.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
And who knows how long Keldon happens.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
This is what I've always said about Sean. He's not
the best Spur ever, but I think he's the most
accessible Spur ever. And you know, when he gets to
a game, the reason he shows up five minutes before
airtime is because if he shows up ten minutes before,
he won't get to the set in time because too
many people want to talk to him, and he never
says no to anyone. He's the most pleasant and nicest
(01:40):
person in the world to be around, and I think
he's the most, like I said, the most accessible Spur
that San Antonio's ever seen, and that to me is
pretty cool. So we'll get into that more coming up
in a little bit, and we're gonna talk a lot
of Spurs coming up in the next segment. And now
they are starting to inch their way closer to being
(02:01):
one of those elite teams. And there's a possibility that
by Saturday night that Wimby could be back. So we'll
look into that. All right, What of the world's going
on with Sharon More? How do you fall that far
from grace? Listen? I know that there are emotions that
run wild when you meet somebody that you think you're
gonna want to have a relationship with, and unfortunately, if
(02:27):
you're married, you have to either curb those relations or
you have to get unmarried one of the two.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Marriage is the ultimate minor detail there, minor.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Detail exactly, are a very very major one, however you
want to look at it. So it's like, Okay, if
I had somebody in my life a grandmother years ago, say,
if the situation ever gets to a point to where
the person that you've met is more important than the
(02:57):
person that you're with, the best thing to do is
get away from the person that you're with before you
do something with the person that you meant And so
I'm not to you know, to me, and this is
a personal thing right here. I don't think there's a
bigger promise in the world than the marriage vow. I
(03:17):
just don't. And if if something comes along after that,
whether it's a year or twenty five or fifty years,
that you're like, you know, I'd rather not have this anymore.
I like something better, then you're gonna hurt a lot
less feelings by just walking away, because especially in this world,
there's a camera everywhere there. You're not you're gonna get
(03:38):
found out. And even if that you don't get found out,
you're going to always know what you're doing is wrong.
And Sharon Moore is the coach of a football team.
He has worked his tail off his entire life to
coach football, and you can say he's reached the pinnacle
of that profession by being the head coach at Michigan,
one of the bluest of blue blood programs. Their colors
(04:00):
are blue, no pun there, but this is a major
program that he gets to be the head coach of
and they were giving him another year. And in the
midst of all of this, he's having alleged relations with
someone and then threaten to kill them and themselves if
they don't continue it illicitly behind everyone's back.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Yeah, And on top of all of the details that
I'm sure will get solidified over the next days and weeks.
I also want to know exactly when the administration really
learned about all of these allegations, because there's also reportings
suggesting that they said on all of this information and
(04:41):
fired him the day after National Signing Day.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Oh no, okay, Well the coach left, the player can
go to Portal opens in three weeks. I think you
can get out of that contract when your coach leaves.
You would think, yeah, so that, Yes, it does interest
me that the timing is quite quite unique. But I
just don't understand why. Okay, so I understand that passion
(05:06):
is a powerful thing, but I could go down that
rabbit hole if this was a less family friendly show,
but I won't go there. We'll talk about your own
mourn a little bit. The Cowboys are playing the Vikings
this weekend, and the Vikings have beaten the Cowboys a
few times. But I'm going to take this angle with it.
(05:27):
I think the Cowboys have gotten over on the Vikings
way more than any of the wins the Vikings have
ever had. And I'll talk about these three particular things.
The nineteen seventy five Hail Mary the Tony dor said
ninety nine yard run and the greatest football trade in
the history of time, where they gave him herschel Walker
for what turned out to be five first draft picks
(05:50):
that eventually led them to three Super Bowls. And the
Vikings are sitting there going what the hell did we
do on all three of these situations. So we'll talk
about the Cowboys coming up in a little bit.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
I think the Vikings would also suggest that there's a
trade from their side that they remember fondly between Minnesota
and Dallas, the one that gave them Randy Moss and
gave the cow Yes Greg.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
When the Cowboys forgot to draft until they'll clock almost
ran out exactly.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
And then you got the typical Jerry I'm not doing
the Michael Irvin years again, so I'm going to pass
on Randy Moss. And then Randy Moss destroys them throughout
his career. So then Jerry swings back and was like, Okay, now,
now I'll draft Dez because I learned my lesson all right.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Notre Dame is having a lot of pushback, not only
from the tip or tantrum that they've thrown since not
getting picked for the CFP, but now people are finding
out this memorandum of understanding, and I don't think anybody
else understood that they had one of these, And they're like,
why do you get special treatment and none of the
rest of us do. Oh. I forgot you're independent, and
(07:02):
you're not only independent, but you're you're telling us that
because you don't belong to a conference, that you can
do whatever you want. And I'm not going to play
in the ESPN pool if you don't guarantee us a
spot in the CFP at least in some years. Yeah,
and the ACC is like, fine, let's just cancel the contract.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
I'm sure we'll get the news of the MoU that
the College Football Playoff Committee has with Yukon. Yeah, the
other that's gonna happen real soon. I'm sure we'll get
that any day, any hour.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Now. Yes, I would uh, I would think that's far
from happening. Why don't we just have one with uh oh,
I don't know BYU or Stanford or any other any
other university that's private and maybe has a religious backing
to it of some kind. I don't get this. I
don't understand why Notre Dame got the deal in the
(07:53):
first place. I had never heard of it. Till this weekend,
and apparently neither to anybody else until Notre Dame had
to say, well, at least next year, we're guaranteed to
spot all right, I am fearful that that twenty twenty
six could be a repeat of nineteen ninety four. Now.
When the baseball players went on strike in August of
(08:14):
nineteen ninety four, it was because they didn't feel like
the owners were negotiating in good faith until after the
World Series was going to be over with, and that
they wanted the revenue that the playoffs in the World
Series give them before they really got serious about collective
bargaining issues and the expiration of the next next CBA
(08:35):
with baseball ends after next season, and so they're in
the works of creating of creating a new CBA, which
apparently about twenty seven of the thirty owners want a
salary cap, and we all know what the Union thinks
about a salary cap, and the Dodgers, the Yankees and
(08:58):
maybe the Mets they don't want one. Everybody else wants
a salary cap because they're seeing what the Dodgers are doing.
Edwin Diaz was apparently offered three million less or a
million a year less to stay in New York, and
he chose to uproot and go to Los Angeles. Now,
I don't care. Southern California maybe nicer than New York,
and you may like it, they're better, But why are
(09:19):
you going to uproot everything that you have over a
million dollars over a three year period? And that is
because the Dodgers are stockpiling players and signing them to
these long term contracts and making sure that the money
is deferred because they're maybe hedging their bet that guess
what's coming a lockout or a strike, and the lockout
wouldn't happen until after the World Series. But if the
(09:42):
players get win that that's the strategy of the owners.
We could have another nineteen ninety four and not have
a postseason next year.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
I think Baseball could potentially outlaw the deferm deferred payments
met like the more I think about that and the
absurdity of the you know, Bobby Bonilla contract, there was
a couple other guys as well. Why why are we
still allowing that? Why are we still allowing the Dodgers
to spread out Otani's contract over three generations of his
(10:14):
family's lifetime.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Yeah, I don't get that and and paying for a contract,
that's what are you gonna Are you not gonna be
good in twenty forty five? Are you just gonna mail
in five seasons from twenty forty five to twenty forty
nine so you can pay Otani and then start all
over again. I don't know if you've ever heard the
story of the Bobby Bonia deal, but the funny part
of this is where the Mets got really backfired on.
(10:38):
This is that when Bobby Bonia's contract was up, he
was owed like seven million dollars for two more seasons,
and so they said, hey, i'll tell you what. We
don't want to pay you for ten years, so we'll
start paying you in twenty eleven, and we'll pay you
for twenty five years through twenty thirty six. And then
we'll put interest on top of the seven million between
(10:59):
now and twenty eleven, because this all happened in two
thousand and we'll give you one point one million dollars
for twenty years instead of giving you seven million now.
And he's like, okay, deal. So their plan was to
take the seven million dollars that they owed Bobby Bania
and invest it at a level that would create more
interest than the one point one for twenty five years
(11:22):
that they were going to pay Bobby Bania. But the
problem is is that they invested it with Bernie Madoff.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
I was about to say, I think this ends with
a guy getting massive many years in prison.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Yeah, he's still in prison.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
They think he'll die there.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Yeah. So the Mets were like, oops, we owe Bobby
Bania twenty million dollars instead of seven and our guy
ran off with our money.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
I mean, look, if it was any other organ there's
just something so very New York Mets about every layer
of that story, every layer of that onion.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Yes, all right, let's talk Spurs and their big win
last night against the Lakers. That's coming up. It's four
thirteen on the ticket.
