(00:06):
Every timors me, you're stealing insideme. It's almost more than all right.
We're getting rolling here on today,the ninth of April. Well,
a bucket of crap coming up herein just a little bit. Damn strained
(00:27):
by for that, But first wegot this. Look you there, it's
Julie at the sports desk. Thankyou, Jeff, thank you everybody.
Sports desk is back in the studiotoday. After a big day with the
eclipse yesterday, the desk is backto normal. I couldn't sleep last night,
(00:49):
it was so excited about what itsaw applyde Warm Park. So we
touched on the Rangers, but justto kind of rehash a little bit more
what went down last night. Itwasn't great. The Astro is able to
earn the series split with the Rangerslast night. I guess the boot just
(01:10):
stays put. Nobody gets the bootwhen you split this Silver Boot series.
I think technically they get to keepthe boot until the until it goes final,
until we clinch the season boot.The boot is on Houston's foot.
I don't like that. I thinkthe boot should stay in Austin once the
season starts. Okay, neutral territory, yeahtual site for the boot, and
(01:33):
you know, you can send itto one or the other as the season
plays out and one takes the leadif you want to a traveling boot.
Yeah, but when we're tired,the boot goes to Austin, the sisterhood
of the Traveling Boot. Yeah.I don't know. I'm kind of a
Rick Flair guy, you know.To be the man, you gotta beat
the man. Yeah. And whilewe may hold the weird looking World Series
(01:55):
trophy, that boot belongs to them. Yeah, until a step otherwise.
Yeah. It ended up being aten to five game. Like we said,
the Rangers got out to an earlylead and then it kind of went
back and forth, back and forthuntil the Astros pulled away. Ended up
being ten to five at home.In the finale of this one from Arlington,
Jared Walsh for Texas to drive ina pair of runs. He's been
(02:19):
really good. The Rangers scoring allof their runs in the bottom of the
first inning though. Last night,Yeah, there was a wonderful I had
a great time in that inning.And then once it was clear that we
were losing and we weren't ever goingto score again, I switched over to
college basketball. Yeah, that wason at the same time. So it
was a little bit of a predicamentif you wanted to watch the National Championship
(02:42):
game and you also wanted to watchthe Rangers. But yeah, if you
want to do some if you wanta little mini segment on bitching about TV
boy, I missed when everything wasin one place. You need to change
apps. You need different remotes.Now I have to go from my YouTube
TV where I'm watching the game,the Championship game, to my Bally app
where I'm watching the Rangers, andto go back and forth, you can't
(03:06):
just hit previous channel. You haveto hit the home button, go back
to the other app, open theother app, and it's a real ass
whipping. It is, Yeah,because you used to could just press back.
Yeah, right, you could betwo things that you were cruising on.
I would have Bally on the cableservice and I could do it because
they were both just on my YouTubeTV or whatever cable service I was using.
(03:28):
But now Bally's on a standalone appfor me and my cable service is
different. Although I guess they don'tknow that because you should. Because I
have a borrowed log in, Iguess I could just use the app for
that cable service. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. Yeah, but
it is annoying. It's very annoying, especially like last night and like tonight,
and we're gonna have a lot ofthings that we want to watch.
(03:50):
This lost means the Rangers now sixand four and they're getting ready to host
the Athletics in a three game seriesthat will begin tonight, and that is
an ev ALLDI start. So hopefullythey can get things back on track here,
but I don't know. After tengames, I'm feeling okay, Yeah,
(04:11):
I am too, be feeling better. But we have the World Series
title to fall back on and buyus a little bit of time and a
little bit of optimism, I guess. And it's funny because if they hadn't
done that right, we're so usedto just starting off the season having a
few losses. Me, here wego again, But now we can't do
that. I can't say, herewe go again. Who is that impersonating
(04:33):
all Rangers? Get tired? Wego again? It's right, all shucks.
You know they got no pigeon.You know that, don't you Look?
You don't have to mock me.You want to be Ranger. I'll
be Ranger Man on you. Itell you what's wrong with this thing?
Yeah, you're right too, I'venever been less confident in a team on
pace to win ninety seven games.You know what, you know what?
(04:54):
They suck? They always have,they always will do. What happened,
what happened last year just a fluke. I don't like Rangers Man, especially
when he sounds like what I'm thinking. I don't like him at all.
Well, let's hope they can.I know you know what I'm talking about.
Yeah, I do, Rangers Man. I'm confident in literally one starting
(05:15):
pitcher, two dudes in the bullpen. Wait what now, you're being real
negative person. Well that's why Ididn't like him, because he almost sounds
like what I'm thinking. He justsays it in a meaner tone. I'll
tell you what's wrong with it.He's just doing a bit, but he's
actually changing your opinion on the Rangers. You're not supposed to fall into this
trap, Jo, No, Ialready had it. I just didn't want
(05:36):
to talk about it. I sayit. But now Rangers Man's pulling it
out of you. Seeger's good.So you're concerned Ranger Man is channeling him.
I am concerned. This concerned.Tell you I've never felt worse about
a team that's on pace to winninety seven games. Six and four is
a wonderful record, and it's beenagainst good competition, and I should feel
better, but I'm just looking itup and down and I'm going, Okay,
(05:58):
I believe in a Valdi for missingpeople. Now, Spores is hurt.
The bullpen showed me last night.What I think it's going to show
me some more of as we keepgoing. I am a little bit of
Ranger was good? What's that wasgood? Yeah? And he's been good.
Yeah, but you ain't putting youknow the trust tree. My trust
(06:20):
tree only has two guys in it, and they're both hold my age.
He's not in the trust tree yet. Yeah, yeah, I'll tell you
what's wrong with him, though,tell me they suck. They suck.
I think Wyatt and Evan are goingto get it going. I think there
are plenty of guys who haven't gottengoing that will. I just think that
(06:40):
a six and four record is prettynice and fortunate for the totality of what
I've been looking at. That.Again, I'm a big totality guy,
and you have to remember, likeNathaniel Low being hurt is pretty huge,
and then you have Josh Young godown. So it was the Rangers high
powered offense that was supposed to beable to keep things in check, even
(07:03):
if the pitching was kind of strugglingout of the gates or trying to figure
out who are who your go toguys are going to be. And then
you lose those two bats and andyou know, that's a big loss right
out of the gates for these guys. But six and four, like you
said, pretty good hosting the athleticstonight and try to get things back on
(07:25):
track here. How about that.I will take a quick buzzer here,
Grooby. The Dallas Mavericks playing tonightas well, as we mentioned an early
one six o'clock in Charlotte, andthis one a little interesting Charlotte. Not
much to write home about, butthey do have Grant Williams. Now,
(07:46):
I tell you what Charlotte was thatit can suck. The don't have very
many good players. Yep. Ithink their Miles Bridges led it's their guy,
Miles Bridges, and they were thetrade partners for the Mavericks. And
now Grant Williams, who was herefor a while and was a fan favorite
(08:07):
until he wasn't really quickly and neverseemed like everybody kind of turned on him,
and he turned on the team,got traded, went over there and
had those thoughts on It was himthat said that Luca is playing for the
name on the back and not thename on the front or whatever about his
jersey, basically calling out Luca tohis new team and the new media there.
I don't know what question provoked it. I'm sure there was something,
(08:30):
but you know that's got to bein the back of Luca's mine tonight,
don't you think. Yeah. Apparentlythey it didn't work out great because apparently
Grant Williams really embraced the role thathe thought he was brought into play m
HM, and then he stopped beinggood at basketball, but he continued to
do what he thought the team wantedhim to do, which was like,
Uh, there's an article a coupleof weeks ago about how Mark Keith Morris
(08:54):
is really to save the season becauseman, what a great leader even though
he doesn't play like Grant Williams wastrying to be that guy. Apparently it
wore pretty thin on some guys whenthey were like you suck shut up trying
to be the leader man. Yeah, you have to earn that right.
You gotta play first of all,do you Mark Keith Morris? Yeah,
I've always questioned that. I've heardof that happening before, and Mark Keith
(09:18):
Morris does seem to be the rareleader who doesn't play much at all.
If ever, and I've always wondered, can you really be a leader if
you don't play? I think probablythe things you say matter and if you
are good at making those hardcore powerfulleadership speeches or not. Like if Grant
Williams went in there and was allnervous, was like, all right,
(09:41):
guys, let's go get him tonight. Let's everyone try your heart is like,
you lose the respect immediately. ButI imagine him with Dorpus. They
told me to be a leader.So yeah, for whatever reason, didn't
work out with him. And Isaw some clips at Brad Tousend Brad Townsend
getting a few soundbites from him aheadof this one and kind of being asked
(10:03):
like, oh, what do youthink of Gafford and what do you think
of this Mavericks team now that youleft and they got shot? So on
your way out and he was playingnice and talking about how well the Mavericks
are playing, how good of afit Gafford's been, and all of that.
But just maybe one little storyline thatcould get Luke a little fired up.
(10:24):
Maybe that's why I wanted to playtonight. Maybe, yeah, go
give this bad thing in the business, let have a piece of it.
That was really rude what Grant saidabout Luca. That was very mean.
He doesn't play for the team,he plays for himself. I don't know,
so perhaps it's some bulletin board material. Perhaps it's not. But we
do have the Mavericks back in actiontonight, and of course they're coming off
(10:46):
of that really fun when over theRockets where Kyrie had a season high forty
eight. He was fifteen of seventeenfrom the free throw line in that game
as well. The Mavericks currently fifthin the West right now at forty eight
and thirty, and we will beforever fifth in the West until we knock
out of the teams. Then Ithink we should put new numbers on it.
(11:09):
Yeah. If they don't, fine, at least they're out of the
play in Yeah. Either way,I did see this, let's see here,
so Dallas clinches of There's a lotgoing on tonight as far as clinch
scenarios in the Western Conference. Inthe NBA, Dallas clinch is a playoff
spot with a win and a lossby either Phoenix or New Orleans. Tonight,
(11:31):
Dallas clinches the Southwest Division title witha win and a New Orleans loss,
So that could go down tonight clinchinga playoff spot. When it comes
to other teams that could clinch tonight, Golden State locked into a playoff play
in game with a loss or aNew Orleans win and a win by either
Phoenix or Sacramento. Okay, Ithink we're going to get the nine to
(11:54):
ten. I hadn't looked at ittoday, but I think it's gonna be
Lakers War already. The Lakers areup at eight. But yeah, we're
gonna have really really good players playingthe play in Yeah, so weird.
I'm really happy not to be apart of it. Yeah, me too.
The Clippers. The Clippers can clincha playoff spot tonight with a win
(12:15):
or a New Orleans loss, andthe Clippers will clinch their division, the
Pacific Division with a win tonight.The Lakers also walked into a play in
game with a loss and with winsby any two of Phoenix, New Orleans
and Sacramento. The play in tournamentgoing down April sixteenth. The playoffs will
begin April twenty. Lebron and StephCurry are playing in the special playoffs Bombs
(12:46):
Mavericks, Hornets tonight at six o'clock, and of course Kevin Gray will get
you ready for that one at fivepoint thirty right here on the freak,
we'll take a quick buzzer here,groovy. Dallas Stars on the road taking
on Buffalo this evening. They canclinch the Central Division tonight, some things
(13:09):
have to happen for that. Seeif the MAVs that could clench a playoff
spot, the Dallas Stars have alreadydone that. Now they're trying to win
the division, which has been verycontested all season long with Colorado and Winnipeg
and Dallas. Nobody's been able torun away with it thus far. So
this is what it will take forthe Dallas Stars to clinch the division tonight
(13:30):
if they beat Buffalo in any fashion, which means that they're pretty much in
control of this, which is amazing. It's a very tough division to win.
And it's been a while since theDallastars have won the Central Division.
If they beat Buffalo tonight, theycan do that. If they don't,
but Colorado loses in regulation to Minnesotatonight or Winnipeg loses in regulation to Nashville,
(13:54):
then the Dallas Stars can clinch theCentral Division. And they're currently still
on the hunt for the NHL's bestrecord. And that's all it takes for
one of those two teams to lose. M h wow. Yeah, and
it doesn't matter what they do,no matter what the Stars do, right,
But if the Stars beat Buffalo,then they're in Yeah, okay,
(14:15):
Well, that's right where you wantto be. That's right where you want
to be, and that's somewhere thatthey haven't been. That's where you work
towards. You want to be incontrol of your destiny. At this point
in this season, they know theyhave one of the best records in the
league. And yeah, it'd bereally cool to win the Central Division.
We're going to win the Hockey WorldSeries. They might just win the Hockey
World Series, Jeff, I couldsee it. So that's all going down
(14:37):
tonight, and let's see here.I'll take one more quick buzzer here groovy
because I don't know how many peoplewere tuned in. Last night. There
was a big college basketball game,national title game. Yeah it was fine.
Yeah, Yukon beating Purdue seventy fiveto sixty in Arizona. That means,
for don't you can you can beatper don't. And Yukon is on
(15:07):
the best two year run in moderncollege basketball history. Back to back,
baby, back to back, becomingthe first back to back men's national champion
since North Carolina, Florida. Ohyes, and ju six in two thousand
and seven. Oh Horford, backto back. It was It sucked game.
(15:30):
I mean, men's college basketball isa bad product, and I tried.
It was a national title, soI was like, yeah, I'll
watch them in the National Championship.And the best player on the floor is
I would assume produce Zach e Edseven foot four guy. I believe National
player of the Year two years ina row. That dude can't play in
the NBA. You can't. Iquit watching college basketball because without failing,
(15:52):
every game, just about the bestplayer on the floor is the coach.
Best player on the floor. Thatgame is dominated by coaches. Oh okay,
the Yukont coach is a wild ass. He's he's a Hurley. Yeah,
apparently that whole family's insane. Yeah, as soon as I turned it
on the first five minutes, Isaw him cuss out like eleven people.
(16:15):
I was like, holy crap,this guy's a full blown psycho. He
was fun to watch, and apparentlyYukon's got one of their bigs that's gonna
be a lottery pick. But theseven foot four guy was just getting a
bunch of buckets on him early andthen late he didn't. But I don't
know. It's just and it's it'sprobably a weird year where the best players
that are going to be in theNBA. It's considered a bad draft,
(16:37):
and it's reflected when you watch collegebecause like the eady kid, I believe
he's gonna be back to back NationalPlayer of the Year. He's seven foot
four, three hundred pounds. Surelythat translates to he'll be on an NBA
roster. But he's like a seven, Like he plays like Bovon, Like
he can't move. Yeah, hescores in college because he's seven to four.
(17:00):
He gets positioned, Ay throw itto him and he makes a little
hook shot with a seven foot ortwo who's that, bob? Yeah,
And like if it's contested and somebodyplays good defense, he traveled multiple times.
He can't really move on defense,and like, that's the best player
in college He wouldn't play a secondfor the matter. Well for college basketball,
(17:22):
it's weird. Well, congratulations toyou, con. I'll take a
quick buzzer here, Groovy. Iwant to let you all know that the
Masters is about to get going.Hi, you're Augusta. You think Tiger
can win it? No? Oh, I don't think Tiger can win it?
Why? But yeah, why,it's big news. It's news enough
that he's going to be participating init. It's going to be his twenty
(17:45):
sixth Master's appearance. And no onereally even knew for sure if this was
going to happen until people who werefollowing the story learned that he did fly
to Augusta on Sunday and he hitballs with his new caddie. He's got
a new cat. He named LanceStick or whoever it was. I don't
(18:06):
know the name Lance. They've beenthrough too much together. The name Lance
will always crack me up because oftropic thunder when they're talking to al Pacino,
not al Pacino, alpa Chino.Different guy pushing a product called booty
sweat all the time, and they'rehaving a real Lance They're having a real
(18:29):
heart to heart moment about like yougot somebody anywhere, and he lets his
defensive down. He's like yeah,he's like, what's her name? He's
like Lance. Robert Downey Junior's blackwhite guy's like Lance. The I hear
Lance, and it got real weirdbecause he just realized that he'd doubted himself
and it got awkward. His bootysweat like a cologne. I think it's
(18:51):
like an energy drink. Oh yeah, drink booty sweat, y'all. That's
al Pacino. Well, Tiger andLance are getting going this loll Star Thursday
morning. Eighty nine players in thefield this tournament, and Scottie Scheffler has
a major odds to win this thing, followed by Roy McElroy, John Ram
(19:12):
Xander Schoffley, Brooks Koepke, andthen you got Spieth and Matziama after that.
And let's see Tiger when we're talkingabout odds, he is going off
at plus fifteen thousands. Oh yeah, we can go on plus fourteen hundred
for top three, plus five,fifty for top five, plus one twenty
(19:36):
to make the cut. But itis cool here he is forty six years
old getting ready for the Masters onceagain. If he makes the cut,
I think it'll be a record twentyfourth or twenty fifth time. Maybe twenty
fourth. I think he's currently tied, but if he gets one more,
he'll break the road. Gosh,that'd be cool. He needs to do
that. Could you imagine this?Don't blow it all up one day,
Just be consistent here, Tiger,Well, his body's broken, but could
(19:57):
you imagine if he didn't decide outof nowhere that he wanted to be a
Navy seal and destroy his body andthen do weird stuff with all the ladies
and then destroy his brain and thenget in a car wreck, Like if
he didn't do all those things alot. He's trying to break a record
at the Masters now with all ofthat, it's crazy. He's the best
(20:18):
golfer by five thousand miles. Ever, if he doesn't do any of those
weird other things, it's a lotfor any human to go through. He
just got bored and being better thaneverbody else, He's like, you know
what I'm going to be a navyseal and then he broke his body.
Whoops. Whatever. I don't know. His run ends with Mandy Flapjacks probably
had a little to do with ittoo. Yeah that didn't help. Yeah,
(20:41):
that didn't help either, Probably justthat it hit the public. Yeah,
let's check in with her real quick. Oh oh, guess what day
it is? Guess what day itis? Huh? Anybody fuckingratstall you perverts?
Today is International ASMR Day. Youthink they're all perverts? I mean
(21:03):
that's just when you like or no, am I thinking of the wrong thing?
I'm thinking of the wrong thing.What's the thing? What's the whispering
one? That's it? Oh?Yeah, that's the ask. You think
they're all proverts? I mean it'sa porn category. I don't know.
Is it a real is it anormal thing too? Well? What's the
one where you whispering? People likethe sound? Oh that's it whispering.
Yeah, that's it. But it'sjust kind of talking like it could also
(21:26):
be on a podcast or something.It could be. People just think it's
kind of soothing, but it's alsolike noises and stuff. Yeah, it
sure is. I don't think ithas to be a pervert kind of thing.
Just maybe like the sound of whispering. Maybe I'm outing me. ASMR

Every timors me, you're stealing insideme. It's almost more than all right.
We're getting rolling here on today,the ninth of April. Well,
a bucket of crap coming up herein just a little bit. Damn strained
(00:27):
by for that, But first wegot this. Look you there, it's
Julie at the sports desk. Thankyou, Jeff, thank you everybody.
Sports desk is back in the studiotoday. After a big day with the
eclipse yesterday, the desk is backto normal. I couldn't sleep last night,
(00:49):
it was so excited about what itsaw applyde Warm Park. So we
touched on the Rangers, but justto kind of rehash a little bit more
what went down last night. Itwasn't great. The Astro is able to
earn the series split with the Rangerslast night. I guess the boot just
(01:10):
stays put. Nobody gets the bootwhen you split this Silver Boot series.
I think technically they get to keepthe boot until the until it goes final,
until we clinch the season boot.The boot is on Houston's foot.
I don't like that. I thinkthe boot should stay in Austin once the
season starts. Okay, neutral territory, yeahtual site for the boot, and
(01:33):
you know, you can send itto one or the other as the season
plays out and one takes the leadif you want to a traveling boot.
Yeah, but when we're tired,the boot goes to Austin, the sisterhood
of the Traveling Boot. Yeah.I don't know. I'm kind of a
Rick Flair guy, you know.To be the man, you gotta beat
the man. Yeah. And whilewe may hold the weird looking World Series
(01:55):
trophy, that boot belongs to them. Yeah, until a step otherwise.
Yeah. It ended up being aten to five game. Like we said,
the Rangers got out to an earlylead and then it kind of went
back and forth, back and forthuntil the Astros pulled away. Ended up
being ten to five at home.In the finale of this one from Arlington,
Jared Walsh for Texas to drive ina pair of runs. He's been
(02:19):
really good. The Rangers scoring allof their runs in the bottom of the
first inning though. Last night,Yeah, there was a wonderful I had
a great time in that inning.And then once it was clear that we
were losing and we weren't ever goingto score again, I switched over to
college basketball. Yeah, that wason at the same time. So it
was a little bit of a predicamentif you wanted to watch the National Championship
(02:42):
game and you also wanted to watchthe Rangers. But yeah, if you
want to do some if you wanta little mini segment on bitching about TV
boy, I missed when everything wasin one place. You need to change
apps. You need different remotes.Now I have to go from my YouTube
TV where I'm watching the game,the Championship game, to my Bally app
where I'm watching the Rangers, andto go back and forth, you can't
(03:06):
just hit previous channel. You haveto hit the home button, go back
to the other app, open theother app, and it's a real ass
whipping. It is, Yeah,because you used to could just press back.
Yeah, right, you could betwo things that you were cruising on.
I would have Bally on the cableservice and I could do it because
they were both just on my YouTubeTV or whatever cable service I was using.
(03:28):
But now Bally's on a standalone appfor me and my cable service is
different. Although I guess they don'tknow that because you should. Because I
have a borrowed log in, Iguess I could just use the app for
that cable service. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. Yeah, but
it is annoying. It's very annoying, especially like last night and like tonight,
and we're gonna have a lot ofthings that we want to watch.
(03:50):
This lost means the Rangers now sixand four and they're getting ready to host
the Athletics in a three game seriesthat will begin tonight, and that is
an ev ALLDI start. So hopefullythey can get things back on track here,
but I don't know. After tengames, I'm feeling okay, Yeah,
(04:11):
I am too, be feeling better. But we have the World Series
title to fall back on and buyus a little bit of time and a
little bit of optimism, I guess. And it's funny because if they hadn't
done that right, we're so usedto just starting off the season having a
few losses. Me, here wego again, But now we can't do
that. I can't say, herewe go again. Who is that impersonating
(04:33):
all Rangers? Get tired? Wego again? It's right, all shucks.
You know they got no pigeon.You know that, don't you Look?
You don't have to mock me.You want to be Ranger. I'll
be Ranger Man on you. Itell you what's wrong with this thing?
Yeah, you're right too, I'venever been less confident in a team on
pace to win ninety seven games.You know what, you know what?
(04:54):
They suck? They always have,they always will do. What happened,
what happened last year just a fluke. I don't like Rangers Man, especially
when he sounds like what I'm thinking. I don't like him at all.
Well, let's hope they can.I know you know what I'm talking about.
Yeah, I do, Rangers Man. I'm confident in literally one starting
(05:15):
pitcher, two dudes in the bullpen. Wait what now, you're being real
negative person. Well that's why Ididn't like him, because he almost sounds
like what I'm thinking. He justsays it in a meaner tone. I'll
tell you what's wrong with it.He's just doing a bit, but he's
actually changing your opinion on the Rangers. You're not supposed to fall into this
trap, Jo, No, Ialready had it. I just didn't want
(05:36):
to talk about it. I sayit. But now Rangers Man's pulling it
out of you. Seeger's good.So you're concerned Ranger Man is channeling him.
I am concerned. This concerned.Tell you I've never felt worse about
a team that's on pace to winninety seven games. Six and four is
a wonderful record, and it's beenagainst good competition, and I should feel
better, but I'm just looking itup and down and I'm going, Okay,
(05:58):
I believe in a Valdi for missingpeople. Now, Spores is hurt.
The bullpen showed me last night.What I think it's going to show
me some more of as we keepgoing. I am a little bit of
Ranger was good? What's that wasgood? Yeah? And he's been good.
Yeah, but you ain't putting youknow the trust tree. My trust
(06:20):
tree only has two guys in it, and they're both hold my age.
He's not in the trust tree yet. Yeah, yeah, I'll tell you
what's wrong with him, though,tell me they suck. They suck.
I think Wyatt and Evan are goingto get it going. I think there
are plenty of guys who haven't gottengoing that will. I just think that
(06:40):
a six and four record is prettynice and fortunate for the totality of what
I've been looking at. That.Again, I'm a big totality guy,
and you have to remember, likeNathaniel Low being hurt is pretty huge,
and then you have Josh Young godown. So it was the Rangers high
powered offense that was supposed to beable to keep things in check, even
(07:03):
if the pitching was kind of strugglingout of the gates or trying to figure
out who are who your go toguys are going to be. And then
you lose those two bats and andyou know, that's a big loss right
out of the gates for these guys. But six and four, like you
said, pretty good hosting the athleticstonight and try to get things back on
(07:25):
track here. How about that.I will take a quick buzzer here,
Grooby. The Dallas Mavericks playing tonightas well, as we mentioned an early
one six o'clock in Charlotte, andthis one a little interesting Charlotte. Not
much to write home about, butthey do have Grant Williams. Now,
(07:46):
I tell you what Charlotte was thatit can suck. The don't have very
many good players. Yep. Ithink their Miles Bridges led it's their guy,
Miles Bridges, and they were thetrade partners for the Mavericks. And
now Grant Williams, who was herefor a while and was a fan favorite
(08:07):
until he wasn't really quickly and neverseemed like everybody kind of turned on him,
and he turned on the team,got traded, went over there and
had those thoughts on It was himthat said that Luca is playing for the
name on the back and not thename on the front or whatever about his
jersey, basically calling out Luca tohis new team and the new media there.
I don't know what question provoked it. I'm sure there was something,
(08:30):
but you know that's got to bein the back of Luca's mine tonight,
don't you think. Yeah. Apparentlythey it didn't work out great because apparently
Grant Williams really embraced the role thathe thought he was brought into play m
HM, and then he stopped beinggood at basketball, but he continued to
do what he thought the team wantedhim to do, which was like,
Uh, there's an article a coupleof weeks ago about how Mark Keith Morris
(08:54):
is really to save the season becauseman, what a great leader even though
he doesn't play like Grant Williams wastrying to be that guy. Apparently it
wore pretty thin on some guys whenthey were like you suck shut up trying
to be the leader man. Yeah, you have to earn that right.
You gotta play first of all,do you Mark Keith Morris? Yeah,
I've always questioned that. I've heardof that happening before, and Mark Keith
(09:18):
Morris does seem to be the rareleader who doesn't play much at all.
If ever, and I've always wondered, can you really be a leader if
you don't play? I think probablythe things you say matter and if you
are good at making those hardcore powerfulleadership speeches or not. Like if Grant
Williams went in there and was allnervous, was like, all right,
(09:41):
guys, let's go get him tonight. Let's everyone try your heart is like,
you lose the respect immediately. ButI imagine him with Dorpus. They
told me to be a leader.So yeah, for whatever reason, didn't
work out with him. And Isaw some clips at Brad Tousend Brad Townsend
getting a few soundbites from him aheadof this one and kind of being asked
(10:03):
like, oh, what do youthink of Gafford and what do you think
of this Mavericks team now that youleft and they got shot? So on
your way out and he was playingnice and talking about how well the Mavericks
are playing, how good of afit Gafford's been, and all of that.
But just maybe one little storyline thatcould get Luke a little fired up.
(10:24):
Maybe that's why I wanted to playtonight. Maybe, yeah, go
give this bad thing in the business, let have a piece of it.
That was really rude what Grant saidabout Luca. That was very mean.
He doesn't play for the team,he plays for himself. I don't know,
so perhaps it's some bulletin board material. Perhaps it's not. But we
do have the Mavericks back in actiontonight, and of course they're coming off
(10:46):
of that really fun when over theRockets where Kyrie had a season high forty
eight. He was fifteen of seventeenfrom the free throw line in that game
as well. The Mavericks currently fifthin the West right now at forty eight
and thirty, and we will beforever fifth in the West until we knock
out of the teams. Then Ithink we should put new numbers on it.
(11:09):
Yeah. If they don't, fine, at least they're out of the
play in Yeah. Either way,I did see this, let's see here,
so Dallas clinches of There's a lotgoing on tonight as far as clinch
scenarios in the Western Conference. Inthe NBA, Dallas clinch is a playoff
spot with a win and a lossby either Phoenix or New Orleans. Tonight,
(11:31):
Dallas clinches the Southwest Division title witha win and a New Orleans loss,
So that could go down tonight clinchinga playoff spot. When it comes
to other teams that could clinch tonight, Golden State locked into a playoff play
in game with a loss or aNew Orleans win and a win by either
Phoenix or Sacramento. Okay, Ithink we're going to get the nine to
(11:54):
ten. I hadn't looked at ittoday, but I think it's gonna be
Lakers War already. The Lakers areup at eight. But yeah, we're
gonna have really really good players playingthe play in Yeah, so weird.
I'm really happy not to be apart of it. Yeah, me too.
The Clippers. The Clippers can clincha playoff spot tonight with a win
(12:15):
or a New Orleans loss, andthe Clippers will clinch their division, the
Pacific Division with a win tonight.The Lakers also walked into a play in
game with a loss and with winsby any two of Phoenix, New Orleans
and Sacramento. The play in tournamentgoing down April sixteenth. The playoffs will
begin April twenty. Lebron and StephCurry are playing in the special playoffs Bombs
(12:46):
Mavericks, Hornets tonight at six o'clock, and of course Kevin Gray will get
you ready for that one at fivepoint thirty right here on the freak,
we'll take a quick buzzer here,groovy. Dallas Stars on the road taking
on Buffalo this evening. They canclinch the Central Division tonight, some things
(13:09):
have to happen for that. Seeif the MAVs that could clench a playoff
spot, the Dallas Stars have alreadydone that. Now they're trying to win
the division, which has been verycontested all season long with Colorado and Winnipeg
and Dallas. Nobody's been able torun away with it thus far. So
this is what it will take forthe Dallas Stars to clinch the division tonight
(13:30):
if they beat Buffalo in any fashion, which means that they're pretty much in
control of this, which is amazing. It's a very tough division to win.
And it's been a while since theDallastars have won the Central Division.
If they beat Buffalo tonight, theycan do that. If they don't,
but Colorado loses in regulation to Minnesotatonight or Winnipeg loses in regulation to Nashville,
(13:54):
then the Dallas Stars can clinch theCentral Division. And they're currently still
on the hunt for the NHL's bestrecord. And that's all it takes for
one of those two teams to lose. M h wow. Yeah, and
it doesn't matter what they do,no matter what the Stars do, right,
But if the Stars beat Buffalo,then they're in Yeah, okay,
(14:15):
Well, that's right where you wantto be. That's right where you want
to be, and that's somewhere thatthey haven't been. That's where you work
towards. You want to be incontrol of your destiny. At this point
in this season, they know theyhave one of the best records in the
league. And yeah, it'd bereally cool to win the Central Division.
We're going to win the Hockey WorldSeries. They might just win the Hockey
World Series, Jeff, I couldsee it. So that's all going down
(14:37):
tonight, and let's see here.I'll take one more quick buzzer here groovy
because I don't know how many peoplewere tuned in. Last night. There
was a big college basketball game,national title game. Yeah it was fine.
Yeah, Yukon beating Purdue seventy fiveto sixty in Arizona. That means,
for don't you can you can beatper don't. And Yukon is on
(15:07):
the best two year run in moderncollege basketball history. Back to back,
baby, back to back, becomingthe first back to back men's national champion
since North Carolina, Florida. Ohyes, and ju six in two thousand
and seven. Oh Horford, backto back. It was It sucked game.
(15:30):
I mean, men's college basketball isa bad product, and I tried.
It was a national title, soI was like, yeah, I'll
watch them in the National Championship.And the best player on the floor is
I would assume produce Zach e Edseven foot four guy. I believe National
player of the Year two years ina row. That dude can't play in
the NBA. You can't. Iquit watching college basketball because without failing,
(15:52):
every game, just about the bestplayer on the floor is the coach.
Best player on the floor. Thatgame is dominated by coaches. Oh okay,
the Yukont coach is a wild ass. He's he's a Hurley. Yeah,
apparently that whole family's insane. Yeah, as soon as I turned it
on the first five minutes, Isaw him cuss out like eleven people.
(16:15):
I was like, holy crap,this guy's a full blown psycho. He
was fun to watch, and apparentlyYukon's got one of their bigs that's gonna
be a lottery pick. But theseven foot four guy was just getting a
bunch of buckets on him early andthen late he didn't. But I don't
know. It's just and it's it'sprobably a weird year where the best players
that are going to be in theNBA. It's considered a bad draft,
(16:37):
and it's reflected when you watch collegebecause like the eady kid, I believe
he's gonna be back to back NationalPlayer of the Year. He's seven foot
four, three hundred pounds. Surelythat translates to he'll be on an NBA
roster. But he's like a seven, Like he plays like Bovon, Like
he can't move. Yeah, hescores in college because he's seven to four.
(17:00):
He gets positioned, Ay throw itto him and he makes a little
hook shot with a seven foot ortwo who's that, bob? Yeah,
And like if it's contested and somebodyplays good defense, he traveled multiple times.
He can't really move on defense,and like, that's the best player
in college He wouldn't play a secondfor the matter. Well for college basketball,
(17:22):
it's weird. Well, congratulations toyou, con. I'll take a
quick buzzer here, Groovy. Iwant to let you all know that the
Masters is about to get going.Hi, you're Augusta. You think Tiger
can win it? No? Oh, I don't think Tiger can win it?
Why? But yeah, why,it's big news. It's news enough
that he's going to be participating init. It's going to be his twenty
(17:45):
sixth Master's appearance. And no onereally even knew for sure if this was
going to happen until people who werefollowing the story learned that he did fly
to Augusta on Sunday and he hitballs with his new caddie. He's got
a new cat. He named LanceStick or whoever it was. I don't
(18:06):
know the name Lance. They've beenthrough too much together. The name Lance
will always crack me up because oftropic thunder when they're talking to al Pacino,
not al Pacino, alpa Chino.Different guy pushing a product called booty
sweat all the time, and they'rehaving a real Lance They're having a real
(18:29):
heart to heart moment about like yougot somebody anywhere, and he lets his
defensive down. He's like yeah,he's like, what's her name? He's
like Lance. Robert Downey Junior's blackwhite guy's like Lance. The I hear
Lance, and it got real weirdbecause he just realized that he'd doubted himself
and it got awkward. His bootysweat like a cologne. I think it's
(18:51):
like an energy drink. Oh yeah, drink booty sweat, y'all. That's
al Pacino. Well, Tiger andLance are getting going this loll Star Thursday
morning. Eighty nine players in thefield this tournament, and Scottie Scheffler has
a major odds to win this thing, followed by Roy McElroy, John Ram
(19:12):
Xander Schoffley, Brooks Koepke, andthen you got Spieth and Matziama after that.
And let's see Tiger when we're talkingabout odds, he is going off
at plus fifteen thousands. Oh yeah, we can go on plus fourteen hundred
for top three, plus five,fifty for top five, plus one twenty
(19:36):
to make the cut. But itis cool here he is forty six years
old getting ready for the Masters onceagain. If he makes the cut,
I think it'll be a record twentyfourth or twenty fifth time. Maybe twenty
fourth. I think he's currently tied, but if he gets one more,
he'll break the road. Gosh,that'd be cool. He needs to do
that. Could you imagine this?Don't blow it all up one day,
Just be consistent here, Tiger,Well, his body's broken, but could
(19:57):
you imagine if he didn't decide outof nowhere that he wanted to be a
Navy seal and destroy his body andthen do weird stuff with all the ladies
and then destroy his brain and thenget in a car wreck, Like if
he didn't do all those things alot. He's trying to break a record
at the Masters now with all ofthat, it's crazy. He's the best
(20:18):
golfer by five thousand miles. Ever, if he doesn't do any of those
weird other things, it's a lotfor any human to go through. He
just got bored and being better thaneverbody else, He's like, you know
what I'm going to be a navyseal and then he broke his body.
Whoops. Whatever. I don't know. His run ends with Mandy Flapjacks probably
had a little to do with ittoo. Yeah that didn't help. Yeah,
(20:41):
that didn't help either, Probably justthat it hit the public. Yeah,
