Indie Ever Show. Lots going on in the world today,
lots of sports stuff, lots of things happening with the
Spurs downtown with the Project Marvel and Spurs Arena issue,
lots of things to get to on the program, and
(00:42):
we're going to jump in here pretty soon. I'm Andy Everett.
Audio disseminator of the program today is Shane Carter. Thank
you all for being with us wherever you may be listening.
Before I get to the news of the day, I
watched something last night for three plus and that was
the documentary on Jerry Jones, the Gambler and his Cowboys
(01:07):
Wasted So much No, that was a great three hours,
so much better than anything else that's on TV. Have
you seen it? No, I haven't seen it. Don't.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
I don't want to feed into Jerry's pockets anymore than
I already have in the pasts.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Get well, he's already been paid, So it doesn't matter
if Netflix is just hoping people watch it. But it's
good stuff and it kind of lives some of the
stories and kind of tells you how I've got a
lot of things I want to get to on that,
And what in particular is something that former President George W.
Bush said that it is apropos about Dallas. That could
(01:38):
also be something that we need to consider in the
next ninety days or so when it comes to the
Spurs future in San Antonio. So we'll get to that obviously.
The sports and political news of the day, the referendum
to pause whether or not we're going to put this
on the ballot or not for thirty days was shot
(01:59):
down today seven to four, so it will proceed onto
the November ballot. Here's the thing I want to get
to when we talk about this. Why can't those who
don't think this is a good idea still have an
independent study done. I'm sure you can do if it
was going to take thirty days free to pause. You
(02:19):
can do it in thirty days. So we'll be about
mid September. You're still eight nine weeks out from the vote,
and then if the numbers are different, then ask the
Spurs to explain why the numbers are different. A lot
of people think that anytime that you summon a survey
that you're going to get the people that are doing
the survey or the study to do it in your favor.
(02:41):
So those who are against it would probably ask somebody
to vote against it or to give you data that
is inaccurate. If you're under the belief that the Spurs
have given you an accurate data, I'm not. I think
that's accurate. But we're going to get into this more.
But I just you just don't understand why you can't
still do all your due diligence. Between now in November,
(03:04):
we're still three and a half years probably from playing
in an arena if the vote is yes in November,
So we're talking at the best the twenty nine season,
the twenty nine thirty season, maybe before the new arena
would be completely built, maybe twenty eight twenty nine, but
likely twenty nine thirty or thirty thirty one. So there's
a lot to get into that. Shane, I know you
(03:25):
and Dylan on the Fanatics on Sunday You've had a
lot of conversations about this, and I'm going to continue
to go down this path of education. I was on
a Facebook thread today and the number of people that
are so uneducated and so don't remember or are too
young to remember what we did in ninety nine and
eighty nine. We're going to have a refresher course on
(03:47):
all that coming up.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
It's refreshing to know that the city, at the very
least the majority of these citizens understand where we've come
when it came down to the Almodome or the Frost
or wherever it is, that they don't want the same
thing to happen to them. The East Side is what
should have been what's supposed to going to happen to
the downtown. And I think we talked about this with
a strategic pause. Hadn't twenty two years been enough of
a pause to realize we need to do something different
(04:10):
than already happened.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Well, I think though, what part of the education process is,
and when we had Andrew Solano on yesterday, the spurs
political consultant. He says, it doesn't matter if your concern
is other things in the community that need to be spent,
money on roads, bridges, sidewalks, whatever it is that you
(04:32):
want to put, whatever you think money needs to go.
Affordable housing, which the mayor has harped on a lot,
which I don't necessarily think is necessary in the in
the area where we're planning on building all of this.
There's other places where I think that would be more appropriate.
But if your take is we got to deal with
that first, understand you can still do that. But that's
(04:54):
a different that's a different argument, that's a different election,
that's a different ballot, that's a different referendum. And this
money can only be spent. This money is already going
to be collected, a lot of it, the portion of
the sales tax it's going to be used. It is
already going to be collected. It's whether or not it
goes to the state or it goes to help fund this.
What the city is collecting is one percent on hotel
(05:16):
and hotel tax and carminal tax, and yeah, they're collecting
it and they can probably make interest on it, and
then they're giving that collection to the people who are
going to pay the bills to fund this, and we
know what it's going to kind of cost right now.
I think they're projecting one point four for the arena,
one point three but at the end of the term,
but it's one point six. That three hundred million is
(05:37):
on the Spurs. They've made that very clear. And I
think the other part of this, and there's a slew
of education that needs to take place. The Spurs don't
have to do this. The Spurs could just say, hey,
we're for sale, have best bitter wins, give us four
billion dollars, we're out, and other cities would roll out
a much redder carpet than what the Spurs are asking
(05:57):
San Antonio to do. We'll get into more of that
up in a little bit real quick.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
I just got a text from my coast Dylan Emory,
who you can join us on the finags this Sunday
because City Council Mark White is going to rejoin us
and talk about the vote and everything else moving forward.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Awesome, good ten o'clock on Sunday morning. All right, So,
remember when last week when Michigan got slapped with all
these sanctions and stuff, Well, there are some former coaches
out there, both college coaches and I guess maybe some
pro coaches are those that have gone back and forth
that think that Jim Harbaugh should have some sanctions against
(06:32):
him or some kind of a suspension as the head
coach of the Los Angeles Chargers. I think that's kind
of a slippery slope. But we'll talk about what kind
of punishment could you give Jim Harbaugh now that he's
not in college. He has a ten year show caused deal,
but he's never going back to college. Why, what is
(06:52):
his punishment in the NFL? And what does what he
did at Michigan have to do with anything in the NFL.
The Texas Longhorns, or a week and a couple of
days away from their trip to Ohio to take on
the Buckeyes in about an hour and ten minutes, will
visit with Craig Way, the voice of the Longhorns, and
get his thoughts on this upcoming season, how things are
going with arch Manning, and how his temperament is handling
(07:15):
all the things that are coming his way. I would
say he's doing it phenomenally. We'll also talk about some
of the toughest places that they've got to play this
year in the SEC and some of the big games
on the schedule. Also coming up in the six o'clock hour,
my former morning show colleague from back in the day,
Peter Burns with the SEC Network, is going to join
(07:36):
us and or talk as SEC football. Because you got
who's the best team going into the season, who's the
dark horses? I mean, every time I turn on some
kind of a social media story or a podcast or something,
people are talking about, Oh you coming back to GLORI
I would love to see it happen. It would be amazing.
I just don't know how they're going to do it.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
I think you and Micro both underselling how good Oklahoma
is actually going to be this year.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Well, I'm hoping there. I'm hoping that all these people
that say they're going to be great are great. I'm
just going by what I've seen the last two years,
and I think that I think that Oklahoma has the
funds to compete with Texas, Georgia and Alabama and Florida
and Tennessee. I'm not sure that southern of that ole
miss Missippi State, Kentucky, South Carolina, Auburn, who have Vanderbilt.
(08:24):
I don't know that they do, but I in Arkansas
and Missouri probably not either. I think Oklahoma football fans
and Sooner football fans will will give their their kidney
to make sure their football team wins wins games. But
I just don't know how if they can get if
they can still get the best players, and how they
go about getting the best players to make sure that
(08:46):
that roster is good. I'm hoping that Brett Venables lives
up to his word and make sure that he stays
out of the out of the offensive business. And if
he does that, I think that there's a better chance
than if he's going to stay in their business. That's
something that we got to take a quick look at.
Maybe I don't even know if he gets if he's
going to decide whether or not they go for it
(09:06):
on fourth down or not. So we'll get We'll get
into that with Peterlin a little bit because I'm I'm
very skeptical with that schedule that oh, you Scott in
the last seven weeks of the season.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
I think the problem is you're looking at the numbers
besides some of the names and assume it's a quote
unquote murders row. I think you're I think ou schedule
is a lot is a lot more simplified than people
want to think. I think, like three teams that you've
already given l's two, I think Oklahoma's gonna win. Those
are those are Ole miss they're Tennessee See.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
I see. Here's the way I look at that. I
think they're either gonna be four and one or five
and oh after the first five games, because Michigan and
Auburn are the two tough games and Illinois State doesn't matter.
They should beat Illinois State even though there's been upsets before,
but Illinois State, Temple and Kent State, those should be
(09:57):
whatever name you're score, that's what they should be, right Tennessee,
I mean Auburn. I think they'll beat Auburn in Norman,
and I think they'll have a good chance to beat Michigan.
Michigan is still really but they're five and oh going
into the Texas game. And the Texas game is an
either or game. You throw the records out the window
because of the rivalry, and maybe both teams run defeated,
and it's a it's a one versus nine matchup or
(10:19):
one versus four matchup, whatever it is, and it's really
a big game. But like, even if they beat Texas
and go six and oh, then they have to go
on the road and play at South Carolina.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
They're not winning that one. That that to me is
South Carolina's the dark horse.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
South Carolina's pretty good, and it's there in South Carolina.
Then they come back home and I believe it's Ole
Miss and I think they'll win that one. But at Alabama,
at Tennessee, uh, and.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Then UH against Missouri and then home.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Against Missouri and home against LSU. Is there anybody else
I missed in there?
Speaker 2 (10:54):
No? But like I said, I think that you and
Mic are overselling Ole, miss, Tennessee and Missouri. I think
nine to three is a very reasonable schedule, a very
reasonable record for this team.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Well, I hope you're right, and I think they need
to be ten and two to get into the football playoff,
but we'll discuss that as well. The Tour Championship is underway.
Russell Henley's got the lead at eight under. Justin Thomas
and Colin Mara Kawer are both finally playing good golf,
and so is Patrick Cantley. Bob mcintyree those four at
six under, and Scotty's Looman. He's just a three shots
(11:25):
off the lead and a shot out a second with
three holes left to play. We'll talk about the Tour
Championship and what's in store there as we get later
into the six o'clock hour and they complete play in Atlanta.
Let's talk about Project Marvel a little bit more. And
I'm gonna do this too if you want to call.
We don't take a lot of phone calls because most
of you would just rather sit back and listen. But
(11:46):
I'm curious if you'd like to make a point about
Project Marvel, and I don't care whether you're pro or con.
Seven three six nine seven sixty. You can join us
and we'll we'll let you get your two cents in.
But I'm curious as to why you would say no,
and maybe even why you would say yes. But I
think that this is a sports audience, and when I
(12:09):
start this next segment, I'm going to explain the two
groups of people that I have a concern about that
may vote either not vote at all, or vote negatively
when we get to November. But if you'd like to
opine on what's going on with Project Marvel and weigh
in what you think is the correct answer to all
of this seven three, six, nine, seven sixty. But we'll
(12:29):
get to my thoughts on that. That's coming up next.
