iheartapp Enjoy this podcast of the Andie Ever Show. The
FedEx Saint Jude Championship is underway.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
We've got baseball to get to.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
We've got all kinds of things to get to on
the program today, more discussion about the Spurs and Project Marvel.
We've got football coming up tonight with Shador playing in
the first preseason game for the Browns, and a lot
more things on the docket. I'm Andy Everett along with
Michael Bartlett, our producer and audio disseminator. Today, I went
(00:57):
to a baseball game yesterday, and I've got fodder because
that's baseball.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Well, I mean, you were fodder for us yesterday as well,
when you were clearly tormenting and torturing your.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Now, this daughter likes baseball. It's the other daughter that does.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Are two of the two of the four daughters like baseball?
The one that was there yesterday likes it more than
any of the other ones do.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
I thought that was kind of cool, you know, putting
the picture of you doing the score not.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
The scorecard s. Yeah, keeping us keeping a scorecard, keeping
the scorecard and everything.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
I told Pat, I was like, oh man, he is
torturing his daughter right now.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
No, she was, Uh see, I've never found a baseball
score sheet that I like. And the problem I have
with most score sheets. First of all, I have terrible penmanship.
I could be a doctor only if I if I
ever got the education part, I could write the prescription
that nobody could ever read.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
I've got that down perfect, yep.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
And so I don't have great penmanship. I type most
everything that I do. I even I write letters and
put notes in cards. I type it and I change
the font to look like it's script, and then I
cut it and paste it and I put it in
the card. Because if I don't, you're not gonna You're
not gonna you're not gonna read it, or you're not
gonna be able to read it. And when I do
(02:15):
write down notes, they're they're done in such it's my
It's a shorthand that only I understand. And then sometimes
I forget what I decided the shorthand was going to be.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
But for the most part.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Like when I uh, when I when I we do
highlights in a football game, I'll have McCown to mcewa
and seven, nothing other than that, and so I know
what the highlight's gonna be when we go back to
replaying the highlight. But I write down very few things.
I'll be Sometimes i'll do a to do list. I mean,
I even like type grocery list so I can read
(02:48):
it when I get to the grocery store.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
So I don't.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
And so I can't find a score book where I
can write in the score book because they're all too small.
So I made my own score sheets and they're on
a they're eleven by seventeen paper, and I had one
and I was going to take it to the game,
and before we left, she said, can you print another one?
Because I want to follow along and do what you're doing,
(03:12):
so I know how to do it.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
That's kind of cool. That was pretty cool. That's pretty cool.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
I mean it's like the joy that you get the
fact that at two o'clock when we're sitting there in
the sales area and I was like, all right, I
gotta go watch golf now.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Yeah, yeah, I couldn't.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Even see your face and I knew it.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Was like like I've converted him. The convert is in.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Yes, that being said Scotty.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Yeah, what was he yet? Two under? Four under? Right?
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Y four under? I was fifteen through fifteen. He's four
shots behind. He's probably gonna win, all right. I do
have a baseball take from yesterday that I have to
get going, and it also parallels another take that I
saw earlier in the week from a former Major League
baseball player that we'll get to it a little bit.
It has to do with the ridiculousness of analytics that
(03:58):
managers these days are doing. Now, you have been a
proponent for a long time that arch Manning is gonna
stay at Texas not only for this year but for
next as well. And apparently Granddad thinks so as well,
because Archie has come out and said don't expect Archie
in the twenty twenty six NFL draft. He's probably not
(04:19):
going to the NFL till twenty twenty seven.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
I mean he even put more stipulations on that as well,
and said that even if arch winds up winning the
National Championship and also winds up winning the Heiden Trophy,
and I'm like, let's just get national championship first.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Everything else is gravy.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
But just saying Andy, you know, it's almost as if
maybe Archie is listening to.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Us, could be on the free on the FREEI Heart
radio app. You could probably get that in New Orleans
or anywhere else.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Yeah. Yeah, So all right.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Now, I've been talking for a couple of months now
about Project Marvel, and we have a mayor who we
all elected. I didn't elect her because I can't vote
because I don't actually live in the confines of Bear County.
I'm like three tenths of a mile from Beart County,
but I'm not technically there. But anyway, the people that
(05:16):
voted for her, and she has been trying to put
a hold on Project Marvel from going to the ballot
and the city council leaders. There's seven I think. I
guess it's seven out of ten or nine out of twelve.
I think there's ten council people and it's thinking seven
out of ten have all said nope, we're putting this
on the ballot. We need to find out what the
(05:38):
pulse of the community is because the Spurs are going
to have to make some decisions. And I was pretty confident,
even though it only passed by less than one percent
of the vote, that the Alamodome would go through back
in nineteen eighty eight eighty nine, it did by the
slimmest of margins. Because of that vote, I figured that
the Frost Bank Center, back when it was going to
be the SBC Center, was going to what's going to
(06:03):
pass maybe like fifty fifty three forty seven, and I
think it was fifty seven forty three was the personage
that it passed. I have my doubts on this, and
I think it is impundit.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
It is so.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
It is so necessary for the sports fans of this
community to start in a very quick way of educating
their fellow sports fans.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
I said this earlier in the week.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
I know there's a lot of you that have lost
your Spurs fandom because they haven't really won much in
the last seven or eight years. There is a lot
of you that have turned in your Spurs card because
you voted for somebody and you've been been told that
you were an idiot for doing so. I know that
there's a lot of you out there that that think
(06:55):
it is irrational that billionaires and millionaire basketball players require
a city to fund the building in which they play
their games to make more millions and more billions. But
the question that still has to be asked, do you
want to play basketball? Do you want a basketball team
(07:15):
in your community? Do you want professional sports? The NFL
is not coming, the Major League Baseball is not coming,
and they're certainly not coming if you're a city that
loses a franchise. Seattle lost the Thunder in two thousand
and eight, the Sonics in two thousand and eight become
the Thunder. They still don't have an NBA team, And
my guess is, as we're talking twenty nine or thirty
(07:37):
at least before they get some get one. So that's
twenty two years without the NBA in a city that
should have the NBA, that's certainly big enough to have it.
But because people in that community, and I always thought
Clay Bennett had the ulterior motives anyway, he was going
to Oklahoma City no matter what. But again, you still
wouldn't vote yes.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
At least you.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Could have slowed the process if you'd have voted yes
for a bill for the people that were in Seattle.
And I can't think of any municipality over the last
several years it's voted no.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
And and look at what they're doing in Oklahoma City.
They're actually raising sales tax. And I just think that
more and more people are under educated on what project
Marvel is. I'm going to get into more details on
this in the five o'clock hour, but I understand, I
understand it. When it comes to uh, the taxes, people
(08:28):
think it's always going to affect them and you're going
to pay it pay We're talking we're talking about increasing
the motel, hotel tax rate, and the carbinal tax rate
to fund this. And I don't know when the last
time the majority of us rented a car that somebody
else wasn't paying for, or stayed in a hotel room
(08:49):
as a staycation unless there was some kind of family emergency.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Well, again it goes back to because we briefly talked
about it yesterday as well when Pat was in the
it's this it's some of the city residents who are
just not informed enough, because I believe he said there
was one lady that either on a Facebook group or
he had talked to or that he had heard, that
(09:13):
was complaining about thinking that the city of San Antonio,
the residents were going to be on the hook for
paying dearon Fox's new two and twenty nine million dollar contract.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
That's the education process, and I'll get into a little
bit later, And it is the reasons.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
If you want to vote no, vote no. But you can't.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
I don't want you to vote no for the reasons
that I'm hearing, because the reasons are wrong. Yeah, if
you're a reason, I'm not going to vote no because
I can't afford the tax. You're not paying the tax,
So if it does, I don't want to vote I'm
not voting yes because I can't afford the tax. Well
what if you're not paying the tax, Well, then I'd
vote yes. When it's like opinions, If you have an
(09:58):
opinion on something, it's based on what you perceive to
be the facts. But if you're what you think are
the facts are incorrect, and we change what the known
factors are.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
The givens.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Then, often your opinion on something changes, and as sports fans,
I think it is imperative that you educate other sports
fans as to exactly what it is that they're voting for.
In order to keep a basketball team here. I can't
tell you that they'll definitely leave, but the prognosis of
them potentially leaving becomes exponentially greater if there's not a
(10:32):
new building for them to play in in the next.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Three or four years.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
ESPN and CBS and the NFL are all I kind
of get together on some stuff. We'll tell you a
little bit about that coming up. I've got a baseball
situation that needs some discussion that we've got to get to.
Here's another topic that I'm going to ask, is Sophie
Cunningham the second most popular player in the league. I
didn't say best, I said most popular. We know that
(10:58):
Caitlin Clark is the popular, but what about her the
facto bodyguard. I'm starting to think that there's more and
more people that like her for her takes, her social
media posts and for making sure that no one bullies
the franchise.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Caitlin Clark, Well, it's it's also because she's coming at
it from a very I guess, funnyish kind of way,
you know, humorous kind of way. She is kind of
being like you mentioned the bodyguard maybe if you want
to say, the muscle of the villain. But she's not
(11:37):
coming off or or you know, representing her as a villain.
She's just coming off of I'm gonna be the big sister,
and she's saying a lot of hilarious and funny things
and realizing that she's capitalizing right now on like you mentioned,
potentially being the second or third most popular player to
(11:58):
at least root for you. That's how I look at it.
As she got fined again for her podcast because of
something that she said, and when I listened to the clip,
it was pretty funny because it was basically, again not
criticizing or ripping any individual WNBA referee, but just overall.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Well, I can speak from experience that I saw a
lot of bad officiating in the WNBA and those who
here's what I know. If you are a WNBA official
and you're also now officiating men's college basketball games and
women's college basketball games, for the majority, those people have
kind of graduated a little bit. I don't know how
(12:42):
many have come from the WNBA to the NBA. But
there's some people that I've never seen anyplace else but
the WNBA. And to me, that tells you that nobody
else wants you to in the winter time to be
able to go out and referee college games, and the
NBA certainly doesn't want you. So I don't think that's necessary.
Sometimes the truth hurts, and I think Sophie Cunningham is
(13:03):
telling a.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Lot of truth.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
All right, let's talk about the Longhorns and Arch Manning.
We'll get into that conversation next. Lots of college footballers
were about three weeks away from the start of the season.
That's all coming up. It's four thirteen. It's the Andy
evertte show on the Ticket
