Speaker 2 (05:27):
Steven Sager's at the anchor desk. He'll keep us updated
throughout the program. And of course Elijah Boy is our
social media guru and he does a great job.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Thank you for that video, Eliza, And he's got the
streets needed it.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
A couple of days off because there's no Chuckle City
NBA tomorrow on game the makeup game, and then the
full slab of NBA games kickback up on Thursday.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
But let's start here.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
If you're a football fan and you're used to watching
your football, you know, when I was a kid, you know,
was just that It was never cable, was right, It
was just free TV. You watched the game Sunday and
that was it and that was the end of it.
But that's now all changed. And you know Netflix, who
(06:12):
did that terrible Jake Paul Mike Tyson fight and they
had a lot of issues.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
All that it was.
Speaker 5 (06:20):
It was terrible, right, Jerry, It was Jerry Jones house
as in Jerry's world and then he could his audios.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Remember, all right, Jerry, what do you think?
Speaker 5 (06:30):
You know, Jerry loved some Jerry, so I know somebody
got fired.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
You know it.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
So anyway, there's a story out there that Netflix is
all in on purchase purchasing I should say Sunday NFL rights,
So that would be either CBS's rights of the a
f C or Fox's rights of the FFC.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
And I got news for you. What's that.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Those places like Netflix and they got more money to
God and the networks.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
You know you work in television.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Push comes to shove like this is how CBS lost
the NFL in the beginning when they gave it up
to Fox. When they had the NFC in the old
days when I was a kid, AFC was NBCi and
CBS had the NFC. Yeah, and uh, they gave it
up and now they might not have a choice if
they if this, if Netflix is the one that's going
(07:27):
after and they want it because this is where and
the NFL is going to take. They don't care how
many people get it. They don't care how many people
are watching. You know, they want the most money. So
if CBS doesn't come up with the loot, then you're
gonna lose the AFC.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
They'll come up with the loot they get in the boot.
Am I right, there is so so much of this.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
It's funny having that conversation with Scott Boris we had yesterday, right,
that was yesterday. This makes me think of some of
the stuff we talked about where he was saying how
the MLB kind of missed out on all that content.
He's like, you have double the game of the NBA,
yet you're not making the money of the NBA when
it comes.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
To TV and streaming and rights like that.
Speaker 5 (08:06):
He said, the NBA has done a better job understanding that,
and so this will be interesting with the NFL. So
to break it down even a little bit further, so
the NFL has these deals.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
I still I heard what he said, yeah, but players
are making seventy million dollars in BAB.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
No, no, no, that's not it his point, his point where
it could be be making more if we're if we
take the model, we're about the same as far as
like impact NBA and in the nb MLB, but we
have double the games, double the home games. He was saying,
So why aren't you making this home? Yeah, but the
difference is I'm just gonna.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Less players in the NBA and you're not paying for
minor leagues. There's a difference there, but between the two leagues.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
But I'm just telling you what Scott Bording, Okay, I
know what he's saiking.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
But so you start looking at this. You brought up
some things.
Speaker 5 (08:50):
So the NFL has these deals till through twenty thirty three,
but you would say, oh, that's far away. Anythink about that.
They can jump out of those deals within four years.
As long as they get four years notice, they can say, hey,
never mind, we're not going to go to the full
length of this contract, in which all indicators are looking
like to your point, they're not going to because if
somebody's gonna pay me more, we're not going to twenty
(09:11):
thirty three. And so to mention, you mentioned habit creatures
a habit. So since nineteen ninety eight, you already know
that big AFC game Baltimore, Kansas City that's on CBS.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
CBS has had the AFC since ninety eight.
Speaker 5 (09:25):
It's just you already know if most cities wherever you
live could be channel two, channel elevel.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Whatever, and they got that from NBC.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
Yeah, you're right, and then ninety four Fox has had
the NFC. So it is me where creatures a habit.
So from a fan base, it's gonna be weird having
to think, ooh, that big game, you know that big Cowboys, Eagles,
whatever it may be, and you're like, wait, is that
on Amazon? Okay, wait today today Prime thir or is
it Netflix? Because right now that's what we're doing right now.
(09:53):
You gotta go. You think Netflix has some games, now
it will eventually Prime has some games. Obviously your local
networks will have it. So it is going to be
a little bit more scattered and make you have to think.
But the NFL is not going to turn down the
money that Netflix can offer. Netflix once to get out
of the early they had the early games. And I
think to you you mentioned the Jake Paul. They did
so well with the Christmas Day Game. It was in
(10:15):
two hundred and eighteen countries. Thirty million people watch the
Kansas City and Pittsburgh, thirty one million watchs Baltimore, Texans.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
That's not a lot of numbers if you're talking about
the world, though, Well, I'm saying, but for them, right.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
They can they can say it was the highest Christmas
Day game ever. But you so they can say, hey, NFL,
I go to you me because there's eight billion people.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Even even in this country, there's three hundred and thirty million.
You're talking about less than a third of the people.
Less than that, what would be the right number, So
that would be like a little less than ten percent. Yeah,
but it's a big number for sports right now.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
It's the biggest number they've ever had.
Speaker 5 (10:48):
So they can be like, look we had when we
do it, all we know is we get you thirty million,
thirty one million out of its peak, and we're getting
you in multiple countries. So that's why the NFL will
say deal one of y'all gotta go, CBS, and I'll
tell you this box.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
I think if they do do this that they will
lose viewers for the first time. And I mean, like,
I don't believe where people are scaling back. They don't
want they got rid of cable. We saw what happened
and how ESPN at one point and some of these
other places were making dude, eight dollars of household times
one hundred and fifty million people on it every month.
Speaker 5 (11:26):
Every month, you know, because your bill and you start
looking at the item mine bill, you're like, on, no, wait,
I'm playing for this much, this much for this one,
because you just see your bill's a buck eighty. But
that's what the kind of money it was.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
And my point is that I believe there'll be people
who will just say, i'll get my clips on Twitter.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
I'll watch a bootleg.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
I'm just not gonna pay for it, especially if you
don't already have it. Amazon Prime for me is easier
to have because I have Amazon Prime.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Yeah, and I get the free packages.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
If you tell me every month the certain amount of
packages and whatnot that I get for free, that it
pays for itself, you know, you could justify the sixteen
dollars a month.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
That it pays for itself. But I can't.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
You can't look at it totally and be like, am
I gonna have four or five different streaming packages and
all this stuff start to add up.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
So I think you'll lose people. I think, I really do.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
I don't think you'll have the same Not that people
won't care about football or gambling or a fantasy they'll
just find and see highlights and clips and other stuff,
but they won't watch the games fully though.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
They'll try to find somebody who has the red Zone channel,
you know, like, there you go, You've led me to it.
Speaker 5 (12:42):
I think that's gonna lead people to the red zone
because what do we know people do? They're gambling, fantasy
footballing right or I just want to see that, you
know what's going on all shoot there on the fifteen
they're ain't they're about to score. So I think that's
gonna push people the red zone to just see. How
don't necessarily need to see Chicago Versusjacksonville. I don't need
to see that game, but I do have Kayler Williams,
(13:03):
so let me just see red zone to see if
he scores. He's on my fantasy team or I got
him at my parlay. So I think that's gonna drive
people absolutely the red zone absolutely. This might be when
more the NFL starts to lene kind of more towards
NBA with like highlights and cool stuff online, because that's
where the NBA also dominates.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
It's much better like a clip.
Speaker 5 (13:21):
You send clips, Hey, you send your boy this dunk,
this crossover, this crazy steph Curry three. So I think
the NFL will start becoming more clips too online where
you just clip it up. Hey, I saw enough of
the highlights. I got it. It'll never die down. It's
a bohemith in America as far as sports as number
one by far. But I do think it'll change our
viewing habits, and it may not necessarily work the way
(13:43):
they thought it would work.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Let me say it that way. But money talks.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Yeah, Money's fine, But at some point, and I'll give
you the perfect example how boxing lost its luster with
fans and a lot of fans didn't grow up with it.
And that's the path when they took boxing off of
free TV. I watched Muhammad Ali on AB see why World,
all the big fights, and then what has happened to
boxing since the same thing? They started to only pay
(14:08):
per view. Kids weren't able to watch all that stuff.
So you don't grow up with it. It's it's right.
It becomes like it's some special thing that to be
actually in all the kids who don't aren't in families
that don't have that, they won't be able to watch
a football game in their house. I mean, that's the
kind of stuff that's scary small and it has and
(14:29):
it has a damaging effect long term. All right, eight
seven seven ninety nine off Fox eight seven seven nine
nine six sixty three sixty nine. Streaming NFL games on Netflix?
Would you buy in? Would you not buy in? Where
would you be on this? I know I would be
out all the way out on the stream.
Speaker 5 (14:50):
I'm I mean, I already have Netflix, So it's kind
of a like you said, but I'm saying, but if
if it's a hey for an extra or whatever bucks
to get the football because the people already joking right now,
rob people already making all the videos and memes going
and Netflix do one does one more price with raised
raise the price again out right, and they start their
(15:11):
doing videos and then bringing out their DVD players and
Blu ray players like let me all right now.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Netflix, seriously, because at some point you could price a
lot of the average Joes out of the game, and
that's the eggs.
Speaker 5 (15:22):
No, Lucy's in New York. Yeah, let me get a
card to milk. Let me get some chips, some bread,
and two eggs.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
All right.
Speaker 2 (15:29):

and we're coming to you a lot from the tire
rack dot Com studios. All right, let's get to some
phone calls. Netflix incht in buying, not morning games, not
a one off, a couple of Christmas games, day one
afternoon NFL games that obviously have to wait a little bit.
(16:38):
But this is something that the NFL is keeping an eye.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
On for them to put that out there already. They
already saw Fox and.
Speaker 5 (16:44):
CBS just taking in her boots for sure? Where are
you and this you all in? You don't care, you
have all the apps and streaming, you don't mind? Or
are you saying this has gone too far? Eight seven,

Yale? Down in the boot baby Louisiana.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Very nice.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
I hated.
Speaker 6 (17:06):
I hated when they moved games to the NFL because
I knew that I was gonna be at somebody in
the house that.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
Didn't have KB.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Yeah that's a good point.
Speaker 6 (17:16):
Hey, but it is the worst I think it's it
boils down to greed. I mean, what more can you
how much fun it is?
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Greed?
Speaker 2 (17:23):
It hurts, it is greed. I told you, KG, you
heard what I talked about with boxing. That's what happened
to boxing. And you had generations of kids who grew
up never seeing a fight.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
You.
Speaker 5 (17:33):
I guarantee you there's some sixteen year olds who literally
couldn't name you a boxer.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Was Floyd Mayweather? He don't even box.
Speaker 7 (17:38):
Its twenty one and he rarely knows boxes.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
And I'm like, I grew up with the Tyson I'm in.
Speaker 6 (17:44):
The Tyson age, right, yep. No relation Sugar Shane and.
Speaker 7 (17:48):
All these other little boxes.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
But moving something.
Speaker 6 (17:51):
You know, it's the difference between the halves and a
half not And then you.
Speaker 7 (17:54):
Know it's just like who wants to pay per view
of NFL?
Speaker 8 (18:00):
Right?
Speaker 1 (18:00):
They get right? Thanks kJ. If they could get away
with it, they would do that too.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
And Cheargia a big game twelve dollars to watch the
Chief send the Eagles in the Super Bowl, twelve dollars.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Loud watch road. I know I un on the Golden.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Girls, the Golden Girls marathon, kJ, thank.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
You all right?
Speaker 2 (18:19):
How about Isaac in Fresno. You're on the odd couple
of Fox Sports Radio. What's up, Isaac?
Speaker 6 (18:24):
Hey, how you guys doing? I love this show. I
got my girls, you guys. Every time we're in the car,
she's like, where are they at?
Speaker 1 (18:31):
What's what's her name? Her name is Chloe, So you
better get to Chloe faster? Are you stuttering over there?
Speaker 6 (18:40):
Right? But I do agree with you guys, because I'm forty,
and I feel like going to Netflix is kind of
like a generational thing. So I like my local sports.
I'm from California. I can watch my local teams on
Fox or CBS, right, yeah, And I feel going to
Netflix is almost like the NBA generation small thing where
people are more about the players and less about the
(19:03):
loyalty to the team. I do not want to have
to get on Netflix or, like the last caller said,
go to somebody's house who doesn't happen to have that.
And I can't watch my local sports now because I
got to get on Netflix. And who are they playing?
They're playing Green Bay versus Chicago, which I have no
affiliation with.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Yeah, well yeah, and.
Speaker 6 (19:23):
You're right, Like I mean, I'm looking at eggs or
fourteen dollars. I don't want my increased Netflix to go
so I could watch a game that I grew up
watching for free.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
No doubt. Sunday, Yep, Isaac, thank you. Shout out to Chloe,
Thank you for listening. I appreciate you.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Kenny and Mobile, you're on the eye couple of Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
What's up, Kenny?
Speaker 4 (19:43):
Hey, how you guys do it right? Oh?

Love it so appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
Thank you.
Speaker 6 (19:50):
Going to see you.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
From the original home of Martyr Gron. Just want to
throw it in. I think I just I think you
you know, it's just a man look for the NFL.
Speaker 5 (20:01):
I mean not saying the NFL would never.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
Be keen and television in the US, but you know,
you can go too far and become your own worst
end of me.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Yep, there is that.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
We talked about it before, Kenny about Who Wants to
Be a Millionaire? ABC had a hit show where we
just feel it. It was on once a week, it
was doing great rating. What did they do put it
on like three or four times a week and it
killed the show? And I'm not saying the NFL is
going to be killed, but you will do damage thinking
that you're just going after money, you're like that everybody's
(20:33):
a millionaire.
Speaker 5 (20:34):
Supposed to be special one person a week, now everybody
a millionaire.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
I appreciate the call.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Kenny, Thank you Andre in Massachusetts a couple I'll see
Kenny coming up my bad Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
What's up? Andre?
Speaker 7 (20:49):
Hey, what's going on? They's taking a call Happy Tuesday.
I have to concur with the previous call is NFL
has to be very careful, right, because when you're manufacturing,
folks consent, and that's exactly what they're doing. Being by
far the number one sports league. It's a fine line
and going over to streaming and making people have to
take that extra step and think about, okay, now I
have to exist that in the third it will affect
(21:10):
their overall viewership and you're not just going to get
that baseline appreciation that the NFL seems to just take
for granted a little bit. So with Netflix, I respect
the ambitions, ambitions. They do need to step their game
up because Amazon, you know, the games don't have the
same quality as Amazon form, Amazon innovative things like the
(21:31):
next generation.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Ye yeah, you're breaking out on brother, so good, We
got we got your point. Though.
Speaker 5 (21:39):
We appreciate it what squeeze and one more n all right, way,
last call coming up a little a couple hours, so
if you couldn't get in, don't worry about it.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
We'll take last cost. A lot of people fired up
on that.
Speaker 5 (21:49):
Now.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
I figured people would jump in on that.
Speaker 5 (21:50):
Let's get yeah, all right, we have from joining us
in just a moment right now, Steven Saga was trending.
Speaker 8 (21:56):
Stee, you're right to use the word greed.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
It is a business.
Speaker 8 (21:59):
They're going after it, completely understand. But it's a cash
cow already. Right At what point are you gonna think
about the fans?
Speaker 2 (22:06):
But at some point Steve, like like I brought up
about boxing, I think that's the fairest. Remember when you
watch we watched great fights on a Saturday afternoon. I
watched Muhammad Ali fight. You know ABC, Wild World of Sports,
they just.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Have an artist.
Speaker 8 (22:21):
There were Friday night fights.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Friday night like on free television where you could watch
and all these generations of kids grew up never seeing
a fight, never.
Speaker 5 (22:30):
And that's where UFC is kind of snuck in there
for them for the last ten to fifty years. You know,
they're sneaking in those put up some big fights sometimes free,
sometimes not. But at least they're the new thing and
these kids grow up. I mean way more about UFC
than boxing.
Speaker 8 (22:43):
Consider the expenditures and NFL team has salary caps, a
lot of it. The salary cap is under three hundred million.
Just what you get from national TV revenue is four
hundred million.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Right, you're already making one hundred million before you do anything.
Speaker 8 (22:56):
Else, before you pay the office people or the travel
or any of it.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
And I'll give you the other thing real quick.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Even like a team like the Yankees that do real well,
they have the own networking.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Yes, do you know they have like Friday.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Night games on free TV in New York for the
people who don't have cable.
Speaker 8 (23:12):
You know, a few balls are starting to do that
because of how the cable regional networks are going south. Yeah,
And so some are saying, well, is there a way
we can just have fifteen games out of this season's package,
go on regular team.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Regular TV on it for fans on a Friday night.
The Yankees are on light first Friday night.
Speaker 8 (23:30):
YEP, show them your product, get them out in the summer.
All of that, I'll talk about baseball in a moment.
We do have a lot of college basketball tonight that
includes number two Florida leading Oklahoma with eight minutes left
first half. Twenty six fourteen Gators Top twenty five matchup
has Texas A and M leading twenty three to twenty
two at Mississippi State Top twenty matchup with Purdue ahead
at Michigan State twenty one to eighteen. The NBA is
(23:54):
off till the Wednesday makeup game Hornets at Lakers. The
Blue Jays failed to sign All star of Vladimir Guerrero
Junior to an extension. The first baseman's deadline was last night.
The Cubs agreed to sign veteran infielder Justin Turner one year,
six million dollars plus incentives. The Red Sox invited veteran
reliever Adam Ottovino to spring training. Carolina Panthers resigned quarterback
(24:17):
Andy Dalton. It was spring training media day today in Phoenix.
So Commissioner Rob Manfred was speaking. Was talking about the
MLB rules changes in recent years and the increasing reach overseas,
and he says we now have a crisp athletic, action
packed product in Major League Baseball. He says, our clubs
are telling us attendance wise, we'll be up for the
third year in a row. Our rating across all our
(24:40):
platforms were up this past year and in the age
range eighteen to thirty fours for TV ratings that was up.
They want to have the youngest possible audience. The World
Series with a Yankee Dodger matchup had the best rating
since that Cubs World Series almost a decade ago.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
And also you had.
Speaker 8 (24:58):
The ratings in Japan where a rac you had it
a year from basically, and you have the Tokyo Dome
hosting the openers with Dodgers and Cubs coming up next month.
One other thing, you know how they try to have
some iconic setting for one summer game August second, Fox TV,
like the Rick wid field last year, the field.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Jobs which was beautiful, and I know it's at a raceway, right.
Speaker 8 (25:20):
Yes, it is August second, Braves Versus Reds at Bristol
Motor Speedway in Tennessee. They're going to put a baseball
field down on the steel field on the NASCAR track
with the regular dimensions of a baseball stadium.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
Crazy and they get huge.
Speaker 8 (25:36):
Attendance at that place for NASCAR, So they're thinking possibly
one hundred thousand people for baseball.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Still trying to figure out if I'm going, but I think, uh,
I think I want to try to make it there.
Speaker 8 (25:47):
But an astounding set that will be if you build it, Steve,
they will go, they will come.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
All right, Thank you, Steve. We appreciate you.
Speaker 5 (25:55):
Our company line for retire rack dot com studios. We
just said, he'll be here and hee is you got
another that is? You're right about that. I tell them
about YouTube they so they can see our sexy mugs.

what I like to happy about that. I am too.
Speaker 5 (26:23):
E from Salam our guests now former NFL Offensive Line
and Fox Sports Radio weekend hosts as well.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
E from salam on Twitter. What's up, E? What's up?
Speaker 4 (26:31):
What's having y'all doing good?
Speaker 1 (26:33):
How about you?
Speaker 4 (26:35):
I'm dood man, you know I can't complain.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
All right, well fans on complaining yet, But real quick,
this story about the Netflix buying the Sunday you know,
NFL rights take it from CBS or from Fox, you know,
like the one o'clock Sunday package, all the games away
from the network television. And I said, while I understand
NFL and business and money, it will make some fans
(27:01):
like you know, say I can't afford it, I can't
watch it. I'm about to get my NFL action and
somewhere else. I mean, you gotta be careful not to
strip fans from totally getting free, free NFL on television.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
Yeah, I agree, And it's probably in those markets will
be available, right, So I'm thinking, you know, if the
Rams are playing, it won't be on Netflix, It'll be
on you know, k cant or whatever.
Speaker 5 (27:30):
No, no, no, supposedly it's going to know it's going
to be on Netflix afternoon.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Yes, so you'll click on that or something from and
you'll get that game, you know what I mean, the
same way like how they did Christmas.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
Will will it be in multi view as well?
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (27:47):
Well, I mean they're they're setting it up where just
exactly how you get your.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Fill yeah, your local game, you will get it, get
it on Netflix rather than CBS.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
That's it.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
Okay, what YouTube still gonna have the package and all
of that, right.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
We don't know. Yeah, I mean that's what's to be.
Speaker 5 (28:05):
Basically, they have to twenty thirty three as it deals,
but they can drop out four years earlier the NFL.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
And that's where Netflix they're.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
Talking about it already tells you from where Netflix they
got nothing but money.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
They are a number of money and they gonna spend
it too. So look, it's all about pushing the brand global.
Netflix is in all of the country. So if that's
what the NFL wants to do, it's a good look
for the NFL. That's just what. That's just the whole
point of global expansion. The more eyes outside of the
US you can get on your product brings in more uh,
(28:40):
more players, more everything, more revenue. Everything the NFL is
trying to do, they're getting ready to accomplish it with
a company like Netflix, and that's what they want to
be in other countries.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Hey, Ephraim, I would not have believed that after the
Deshaun Watson and thing that we would be reliving that
with justin Tucker. Now there are sixteen women a story
broken by the Baltimore Banner. People were pooh pulling it
at first, and I'm pool pulling it anymore. People are
coming out of the woodworks. What do you make of that?
(29:14):
That the same kind of situation. He was even reportedly
banned from some places for his actions.
Speaker 4 (29:21):
Wide open, We're gonna be able to control yourself. But
I said to say, it wouldn't surprise me. It's not
surprising that someone else is, you know, being accused of
this type of behavior and all that not saying that
(29:43):
you know, this is a common thing, but I think
in terms of players, who are people who get massages
all the time or people who have gotten certain type
of massages now all of a sudden only want those
type of massages, and you can start putting people and
terrible situations, uncomfortable situations, and like you know, some of
(30:04):
the accusers, this goes back three four years, so right
around the time all of this was going on with
Deshaun Watson, you know, you know, allegedly justin Tugle. What's
doing this at these places?
Speaker 5 (30:17):
Yeah, I mean it's enough players in the NFL that
you know something's gonna happen every couple of years. It
might not be this, but there's always gonna be something
that the league has to deal with when you're dealing
with fifteen hundred people. You got he from Salam with
the couple Robin Kalman, former NFL offensive line and Fox
Sports Radio Weekend. One of the big stories right now
is T Higgins and Joe Burrow has been public recently.
(30:39):
He's been public the last few months. He has made
it known he's he given up some of his money. Yes,
this is Cincinnati.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
Is Cincinnati. He might have to give him half a check.
Speaker 5 (30:46):
But he's like, Hey, I want my guy, and I
also want I still want Jamar Chay, I want all
of us.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Why can't we figure this out?
Speaker 5 (30:53):
Cincinnati's history of being a little cheap, They would get
mad if you said it, but they do. What do
you make of how they're going to figure this out
right now?
Speaker 1 (30:59):
Free?
Speaker 5 (31:01):
What am I trying to say? You know, signing and
keeping him for another year. But they ultimately got the
work out a deal.
Speaker 4 (31:08):
Yeah, I don't. I don't know if that's gonna happen.
I know Joe Burrow wants TM Higgins. I know that's
what he would like, but you got to look at
it like this. I mean, having TM Higgins hasn't stopped
them from starting slow notorious for the last three four years.
So ownership is like, uh, okay, they don't want to
(31:31):
pay anyone anyway. Now, if they were going if he
was putting up the numbers and they were going to
the playoffs, and they would if they didn't have the
year that they had with Joe Burrow putting up those
type of numbers, they'd be a more compelling case to
make that happen. But now they'll just be like, well,
you had them and it didn't amount to anything. That's
(31:51):
what the owners are looking through. If we spend this money,
what do we get in return? Right you to put
up great numbers or do we have a chance to
win a Super Bowl? And I think you know, based
on how the running backs are fed, all the running
backs that weren't weren't wanted by other teams, how they
overperformed for their new teams, and how the formula now
(32:14):
it seems is to you know, have a running back,
a bell cow that you can lean on to stabilize
your offense and destabilize defenses. I mean they that pendulum
with over paid wide receivers. I think that market is
now shifting, uh slowly back towards a more dominant offensive
line and ground game.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
Hey from you played college basketball, you're you're a big
Laker fan and you follow the game. How awful was
the NBA All Star I mean, I watch and did
you see the empty seats there? I mean people are like, Okay.
Speaker 4 (32:49):
Don't watch. Yeah, it costs too much money to go
to something that you don't even want to finish watching
Number two, the saving grace of the entire weekend, doesn't
even play in the NBA, which is crazy to me.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
Back, I'm pro testing the slam Dunk contest because three
years in a row during Black History Month, the white
guys winning the slam dunk.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
Even close, He's winning after the first dug.
Speaker 4 (33:22):
Yeah, after that first dunk, I was like, oh, this
is over there. Yeah, everybody go home. You just turn
it off.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
He jumped over the kep better than Blake.
Speaker 4 (33:29):
Even even in the three point contest, which was the
scene that everybody was clamoring for the fact that we've
all been so desensitized to three pointers because they shoot
so many in the regular season during the games it
doesn't even is no longer a specialty skill anymore.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
That's a good point. That's actually good.
Speaker 4 (33:51):
The great thing about the three point Uh, everybody can't dunk,
everybody can't win mel but you could watch the three
point contest and watch like dynamic shooters do this art
form that was was dynamic. Now every centers are shooting.
It don't matter now. So now it's lost a bit
(34:11):
of its luster. So what really, truly does the All
Star Game have to hang his head on.
Speaker 5 (34:18):
Yeah, well we got some stuff Rob and I gonna
talk about a little bit later show from Man.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
Thank you so much, Lucia, thank you?
Speaker 4 (34:25):
At you all right?
Speaker 5 (34:26):
They say, yeah, the uh, there's something I want to
throw at you. Speaking of the All Star stuff, they
got some stas some players who were there during the
All Star weekend about some of the things that Adam
Silver has been tossing up, including ten minute quarters. We'll
tell you what players have to say about that. It's
the odd couple of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (34:46):

Speaker 1 (35:30):
Rob I want to throw this at you. No trash no,
uh no what uh checko city. I told you no,
that's right, you'd be out here.
Speaker 5 (35:37):
It's so bad right now where I look bottom TV
in front of us, they're showing an old Wisconsin Illinois
game from like oh three or there is no knowing
real happening right now.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
Gonna go so old.
Speaker 5 (35:47):
I think the laces on the basketball James Natesmith is
even saying, all right, so I wanted to show. Uh,
we've been talking about the All Star weekend in the NBA.
There's some stuff that has gone around.
Speaker 4 (35:59):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (35:59):
They put basically looking at some of the things that
Adam Silver's been looking to change or what They pulled
fourteen players who were out there on some of the
things that they thought. So, first thing, I want to
throw you remember we had a conversation about Adam Silver
wanting to go to forty minute games and he was
referencing all, you know, international games are like that and
it's just faster and you and iproby nobody. Of all
(36:19):
the complaints people have about basketball, that ain't one of them.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
And he tried to make it, well, well it fits
better in a two hours you know, a two hour Yes, no,
the NBA game is two fifteen is at the end
of the world.
Speaker 1 (36:29):
Nobody has complained.
Speaker 5 (36:30):
You've never gone anywhere, so should a regulation NBA game
be reduced? This is coming from the athletic. They pulled
fourteen players out there during the NBA weekend. How many
you think they said that said know? How many said yes?
Fourteen they asked.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
Zero said yes, and fourteen said.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
You are one thousand percent. Come on, nobody wants to
change that. It would mess up the rule book, the
history books, record books. Nobody wants that like that is
a bad, bad thing to even It would be like
Major Baseball said, you know, let's just play seven ins,
everybody out of here in two hours.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
Yeah what? People would go crazy? Yeah.
Speaker 5 (37:08):
So here's another one that Adam Silver tossed around, and
you and I talked about a little bit.
Speaker 1 (37:11):
We both agreed, Now you don't need this.
Speaker 5 (37:14):
Should the NBA make a rule change to impact three pointers,
like moving the line a little further back or introducing
a four point shot? Again, this time they got eleven
people to respond and this particular question.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
So eleven people, I'm going to say eight to three
said yes, they should do something close.
Speaker 5 (37:34):
Seven said no, well I mean close in the number breakdown,
but four said yes, seven said no. But some just
to read you some of the list of With Darius Garland,
for instance, obviously All Stars in three point contest for
the Caps, he said, I'd introduce a four point shot,
just a couple of feet back, not too far. Evan Moseley,
who was an All Star, said I can see lengthening
(37:54):
a three point line just because it's getting easier and
easier for guys to shoot him. But a four point
line is kind of crazy because you changed the whole
game Steph Curry. I don't have any problem with guys
and teams shooting a lot of threes. Obviously that's the
way that I play, and I love the factor that
factor in the game. But you've also got to put
in the work in behind the scenes to take full
advantage of Basically, that's him saying, y'all not like us,
(38:15):
y'all not like me, stop trying.
Speaker 1 (38:17):
To shooting three. You'll just say, man, I ain't making them.
Speaker 5 (38:20):
And Damian Lillard, I'll read another them because he's also
a sharp shooter. I think obviously the game could be
cleaned up in a few ways, but I don't think
it's just on shooting two many threes. So the guys
who shoot them well don't feel that way because they
shoot them well. The rest of us got to watch
all these other guys not shoot well. And here's one another.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
One you might like.
Speaker 5 (38:36):
Which city anywhere in the world should the NBA pick
for expansion.
Speaker 1 (38:43):
Any cities? It's one is obvious.
Speaker 5 (38:45):
Uh, it's the one that we all think is coming
next here domestically.
Speaker 1 (38:49):
Well, Seattle, that's on the list. They got four h
Las Vegas. There you go.
Speaker 5 (38:53):
They got most votes at eight and then after that,
you won't guess per se.
Speaker 1 (38:57):
But Paris got four votes and then want sold more
than London.
Speaker 5 (39:01):
One for London and all these other cities that got
one vote San Trope, Mexico City, London, Nashville, and Dubai.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
But yeah, Vegas got the most to hit it, right,
Oh that's right.
Speaker 5 (39:15):
Yeah, we did, Ben and Duba. We had to pick one.
That one went, that one went. Yeah, Vegas is just Vegas,
just you know, we mean having we did say I
took a plane in the sky. Somehow, somehow it's coming back, somehow,
it's coming back.
Speaker 1 (39:31):
With all these.
Speaker 5 (39:32):
Gambling conversations we've been having, robbed, do you think Vegas
is still like you know, cause we keep having these
issues specifically in the NBA too.
Speaker 2 (39:39):
They're not going away from Vegas, all right, just saying
they've already embraced it. Yeah, and they have to live
with it even if they have scandals and players.
Speaker 1 (39:50):
Gonna be it's gonna be scandals. I'm telling you.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
When you know somebody's banged up or heard or not playing,
you're going to let your family and friends.
Speaker 1 (39:59):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (40:00):
I'm in the I'm in the locker room, and I
know the star playing and playing, and the spread is
this before they that nobody knows he's not playing until
they announced it right before the game.
Speaker 5 (40:11):
Go make your bet, all right, And I told you,
I'm just saying. I'm just telling you what I You know,
you might want to go do that. By the way,
twelve players of the fourteen said they liked the new
tournament All Star Tournament. Man, I told you that we
was good up there in the Bay Area.

Speaker 1 (04:49):
At he just smoothly put it over the rob here

let a man feed me pancakes? And Ian look at me.
I just know Alex is already this audio right now for.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
We already got it. You just see the whole video.
I just on my page right now. K doub live,
K dub live, Alex, you not pull check it out?
Speaker 1 (05:09):

Speaker 5 (05:09):
I'm just saying, if it's your kita and you're trying
to feed me time, I don't got to spend feed me,
no man, Alex, just without even missing a beat, I mean, Alex,
Robbie robgi Is he's doing it right now, is feeding
his wife and his daughter before for two for two
for about a week in New Orleans.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
He had to feed you stop all right.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Steven Sager's at the anchor desk. He'll keep us updated
throughout the program. And of course Elijah Boy is our
social media guru and he does a great job.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Thank you for that video, Eliza, And he's got the
streets needed it.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
A couple of days off because there's no Chuckle City
NBA tomorrow on game the makeup game, and then the
full slab of NBA games kickback up on Thursday.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
But let's start here.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
If you're a football fan and you're used to watching
your football, you know, when I was a kid, you know,
was just that It was never cable, was right, It
was just free TV. You watched the game Sunday and
that was it and that was the end of it.
But that's now all changed. And you know Netflix, who
(06:12):
did that terrible Jake Paul Mike Tyson fight and they
had a lot of issues.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
All that it was.
Speaker 5 (06:20):
It was terrible, right, Jerry, It was Jerry Jones house
as in Jerry's world and then he could his audios.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Remember, all right, Jerry, what do you think?
Speaker 5 (06:30):
You know, Jerry loved some Jerry, so I know somebody
got fired.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
You know it.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
So anyway, there's a story out there that Netflix is
all in on purchase purchasing I should say Sunday NFL rights,
So that would be either CBS's rights of the a
f C or Fox's rights of the FFC.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
And I got news for you. What's that.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Those places like Netflix and they got more money to
God and the networks.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
You know you work in television.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Push comes to shove like this is how CBS lost
the NFL in the beginning when they gave it up
to Fox. When they had the NFC in the old
days when I was a kid, AFC was NBCi and
CBS had the NFC. Yeah, and uh, they gave it
up and now they might not have a choice if
they if this, if Netflix is the one that's going
(07:27):
after and they want it because this is where and
the NFL is going to take. They don't care how
many people get it. They don't care how many people
are watching. You know, they want the most money. So
if CBS doesn't come up with the loot, then you're
gonna lose the AFC.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
They'll come up with the loot they get in the boot.
Am I right, there is so so much of this.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
It's funny having that conversation with Scott Boris we had yesterday, right,
that was yesterday. This makes me think of some of
the stuff we talked about where he was saying how
the MLB kind of missed out on all that content.
He's like, you have double the game of the NBA,
yet you're not making the money of the NBA when
it comes.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
To TV and streaming and rights like that.
Speaker 5 (08:06):
He said, the NBA has done a better job understanding that,
and so this will be interesting with the NFL. So
to break it down even a little bit further, so
the NFL has these deals.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
I still I heard what he said, yeah, but players
are making seventy million dollars in BAB.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
No, no, no, that's not it his point, his point where
it could be be making more if we're if we
take the model, we're about the same as far as
like impact NBA and in the nb MLB, but we
have double the games, double the home games. He was saying,
So why aren't you making this home? Yeah, but the
difference is I'm just gonna.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Less players in the NBA and you're not paying for
minor leagues. There's a difference there, but between the two leagues.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
But I'm just telling you what Scott Bording, Okay, I
know what he's saiking.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
But so you start looking at this. You brought up
some things.
Speaker 5 (08:50):
So the NFL has these deals till through twenty thirty three,
but you would say, oh, that's far away. Anythink about that.
They can jump out of those deals within four years.
As long as they get four years notice, they can say, hey,
never mind, we're not going to go to the full
length of this contract, in which all indicators are looking
like to your point, they're not going to because if
somebody's gonna pay me more, we're not going to twenty
(09:11):
thirty three. And so to mention, you mentioned habit creatures
a habit. So since nineteen ninety eight, you already know
that big AFC game Baltimore, Kansas City that's on CBS.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
CBS has had the AFC since ninety eight.
Speaker 5 (09:25):
It's just you already know if most cities wherever you
live could be channel two, channel elevel.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Whatever, and they got that from NBC.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
Yeah, you're right, and then ninety four Fox has had
the NFC. So it is me where creatures a habit.
So from a fan base, it's gonna be weird having
to think, ooh, that big game, you know that big Cowboys, Eagles,
whatever it may be, and you're like, wait, is that
on Amazon? Okay, wait today today Prime thir or is
it Netflix? Because right now that's what we're doing right now.
(09:53):
You gotta go. You think Netflix has some games, now
it will eventually Prime has some games. Obviously your local
networks will have it. So it is going to be
a little bit more scattered and make you have to think.
But the NFL is not going to turn down the
money that Netflix can offer. Netflix once to get out
of the early they had the early games. And I
think to you you mentioned the Jake Paul. They did
so well with the Christmas Day Game. It was in
(10:15):
two hundred and eighteen countries. Thirty million people watch the
Kansas City and Pittsburgh, thirty one million watchs Baltimore, Texans.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
That's not a lot of numbers if you're talking about
the world, though, Well, I'm saying, but for them, right.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
They can they can say it was the highest Christmas
Day game ever. But you so they can say, hey, NFL,
I go to you me because there's eight billion people.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Even even in this country, there's three hundred and thirty million.
You're talking about less than a third of the people.
Less than that, what would be the right number, So
that would be like a little less than ten percent. Yeah,
but it's a big number for sports right now.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
It's the biggest number they've ever had.
Speaker 5 (10:48):
So they can be like, look we had when we
do it, all we know is we get you thirty million,
thirty one million out of its peak, and we're getting
you in multiple countries. So that's why the NFL will
say deal one of y'all gotta go, CBS, and I'll
tell you this box.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
I think if they do do this that they will
lose viewers for the first time. And I mean, like,
I don't believe where people are scaling back. They don't
want they got rid of cable. We saw what happened
and how ESPN at one point and some of these
other places were making dude, eight dollars of household times
one hundred and fifty million people on it every month.
Speaker 5 (11:26):
Every month, you know, because your bill and you start
looking at the item mine bill, you're like, on, no, wait,
I'm playing for this much, this much for this one,
because you just see your bill's a buck eighty. But
that's what the kind of money it was.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
And my point is that I believe there'll be people
who will just say, i'll get my clips on Twitter.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
I'll watch a bootleg.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
I'm just not gonna pay for it, especially if you
don't already have it. Amazon Prime for me is easier
to have because I have Amazon Prime.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Yeah, and I get the free packages.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
If you tell me every month the certain amount of
packages and whatnot that I get for free, that it
pays for itself, you know, you could justify the sixteen
dollars a month.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
That it pays for itself. But I can't.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
You can't look at it totally and be like, am
I gonna have four or five different streaming packages and
all this stuff start to add up.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
So I think you'll lose people. I think, I really do.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
I don't think you'll have the same Not that people
won't care about football or gambling or a fantasy they'll
just find and see highlights and clips and other stuff,
but they won't watch the games fully though.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
They'll try to find somebody who has the red Zone channel,
you know, like, there you go, You've led me to it.
Speaker 5 (12:42):
I think that's gonna lead people to the red zone
because what do we know people do? They're gambling, fantasy
footballing right or I just want to see that, you
know what's going on all shoot there on the fifteen
they're ain't they're about to score. So I think that's
gonna push people the red zone to just see. How
don't necessarily need to see Chicago Versusjacksonville. I don't need
to see that game, but I do have Kayler Williams,
(13:03):
so let me just see red zone to see if
he scores. He's on my fantasy team or I got
him at my parlay. So I think that's gonna drive
people absolutely the red zone absolutely. This might be when
more the NFL starts to lene kind of more towards
NBA with like highlights and cool stuff online, because that's
where the NBA also dominates.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
It's much better like a clip.
Speaker 5 (13:21):
You send clips, Hey, you send your boy this dunk,
this crossover, this crazy steph Curry three. So I think
the NFL will start becoming more clips too online where
you just clip it up. Hey, I saw enough of
the highlights. I got it. It'll never die down. It's
a bohemith in America as far as sports as number
one by far. But I do think it'll change our
viewing habits, and it may not necessarily work the way
(13:43):
they thought it would work.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Let me say it that way. But money talks.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Yeah, Money's fine, But at some point, and I'll give
you the perfect example how boxing lost its luster with
fans and a lot of fans didn't grow up with it.
And that's the path when they took boxing off of
free TV. I watched Muhammad Ali on AB see why World,
all the big fights, and then what has happened to
boxing since the same thing? They started to only pay
(14:08):
per view. Kids weren't able to watch all that stuff.
So you don't grow up with it. It's it's right.
It becomes like it's some special thing that to be
actually in all the kids who don't aren't in families
that don't have that, they won't be able to watch
a football game in their house. I mean, that's the
kind of stuff that's scary small and it has and
(14:29):
it has a damaging effect long term. All right, eight
seven seven ninety nine off Fox eight seven seven nine
nine six sixty three sixty nine. Streaming NFL games on Netflix?
Would you buy in? Would you not buy in? Where
would you be on this? I know I would be
out all the way out on the stream.
Speaker 5 (14:50):
I'm I mean, I already have Netflix, So it's kind
of a like you said, but I'm saying, but if
if it's a hey for an extra or whatever bucks
to get the football because the people already joking right now,
rob people already making all the videos and memes going
and Netflix do one does one more price with raised
raise the price again out right, and they start their
(15:11):
doing videos and then bringing out their DVD players and
Blu ray players like let me all right now.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Netflix, seriously, because at some point you could price a
lot of the average Joes out of the game, and
that's the eggs.
Speaker 5 (15:22):
No, Lucy's in New York. Yeah, let me get a
card to milk. Let me get some chips, some bread,
and two eggs.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
All right.
Speaker 2 (15:29):

Eye Couple, Rob and Kelvin hanging out on a trash
talking Tuesday. We're not trash talking, Billie eilis right now apparently,
and we're coming to you a lot from the tire
rack dot Com studios. All right, let's get to some
phone calls. Netflix incht in buying, not morning games, not
a one off, a couple of Christmas games, day one
afternoon NFL games that obviously have to wait a little bit.
(16:38):
But this is something that the NFL is keeping an eye.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
On for them to put that out there already. They
already saw Fox and.
Speaker 5 (16:44):
CBS just taking in her boots for sure? Where are
you and this you all in? You don't care, you
have all the apps and streaming, you don't mind? Or
are you saying this has gone too far? Eight seven,
seven ninety nine on Fox? Who we got all right?
kJ in the Bayou? You're on they couple of Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
What's up? kJ?
Speaker 4 (17:00):
Hey, what's happening?
Speaker 6 (17:01):
Yale? Down in the boot baby Louisiana.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Very nice.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
I hated.
Speaker 6 (17:06):
I hated when they moved games to the NFL because
I knew that I was gonna be at somebody in
the house that.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
Didn't have KB.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Yeah that's a good point.
Speaker 6 (17:16):
Hey, but it is the worst I think it's it
boils down to greed. I mean, what more can you
how much fun it is?
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Greed?
Speaker 2 (17:23):
It hurts, it is greed. I told you, KG, you
heard what I talked about with boxing. That's what happened
to boxing. And you had generations of kids who grew
up never seeing a fight.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
You.
Speaker 5 (17:33):
I guarantee you there's some sixteen year olds who literally
couldn't name you a boxer.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Was Floyd Mayweather? He don't even box.
Speaker 7 (17:38):
Its twenty one and he rarely knows boxes.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
And I'm like, I grew up with the Tyson I'm in.
Speaker 6 (17:44):
The Tyson age, right, yep. No relation Sugar Shane and.
Speaker 7 (17:48):
All these other little boxes.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
But moving something.
Speaker 6 (17:51):
You know, it's the difference between the halves and a
half not And then you.
Speaker 7 (17:54):
Know it's just like who wants to pay per view
of NFL?
Speaker 8 (18:00):
Right?
Speaker 1 (18:00):
They get right? Thanks kJ. If they could get away
with it, they would do that too.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
And Cheargia a big game twelve dollars to watch the
Chief send the Eagles in the Super Bowl, twelve dollars.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Loud watch road. I know I un on the Golden.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Girls, the Golden Girls marathon, kJ, thank.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
You all right?
Speaker 2 (18:19):
How about Isaac in Fresno. You're on the odd couple
of Fox Sports Radio. What's up, Isaac?
Speaker 6 (18:24):
Hey, how you guys doing? I love this show. I
got my girls, you guys. Every time we're in the car,
she's like, where are they at?
Speaker 1 (18:31):
What's what's her name? Her name is Chloe, So you
better get to Chloe faster? Are you stuttering over there?
Speaker 6 (18:40):
Right? But I do agree with you guys, because I'm forty,
and I feel like going to Netflix is kind of
like a generational thing. So I like my local sports.
I'm from California. I can watch my local teams on
Fox or CBS, right, yeah, And I feel going to
Netflix is almost like the NBA generation small thing where
people are more about the players and less about the
(19:03):
loyalty to the team. I do not want to have
to get on Netflix or, like the last caller said,
go to somebody's house who doesn't happen to have that.
And I can't watch my local sports now because I
got to get on Netflix. And who are they playing?
They're playing Green Bay versus Chicago, which I have no
affiliation with.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Yeah, well yeah, and.
Speaker 6 (19:23):
You're right, Like I mean, I'm looking at eggs or
fourteen dollars. I don't want my increased Netflix to go
so I could watch a game that I grew up
watching for free.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
No doubt. Sunday, Yep, Isaac, thank you. Shout out to Chloe,
Thank you for listening. I appreciate you.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Kenny and Mobile, you're on the eye couple of Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
What's up, Kenny?
Speaker 4 (19:43):
Hey, how you guys do it right? Oh?
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Love it so appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
Thank you.
Speaker 6 (19:50):
Going to see you.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
From the original home of Martyr Gron. Just want to
throw it in. I think I just I think you
you know, it's just a man look for the NFL.
Speaker 5 (20:01):
I mean not saying the NFL would never.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
Be keen and television in the US, but you know,
you can go too far and become your own worst
end of me.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Yep, there is that.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
We talked about it before, Kenny about Who Wants to
Be a Millionaire? ABC had a hit show where we
just feel it. It was on once a week, it
was doing great rating. What did they do put it
on like three or four times a week and it
killed the show? And I'm not saying the NFL is
going to be killed, but you will do damage thinking
that you're just going after money, you're like that everybody's
(20:33):
a millionaire.
Speaker 5 (20:34):
Supposed to be special one person a week, now everybody
a millionaire.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
I appreciate the call.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Kenny, Thank you Andre in Massachusetts a couple I'll see
Kenny coming up my bad Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
What's up? Andre?
Speaker 7 (20:49):
Hey, what's going on? They's taking a call Happy Tuesday.
I have to concur with the previous call is NFL
has to be very careful, right, because when you're manufacturing,
folks consent, and that's exactly what they're doing. Being by
far the number one sports league. It's a fine line
and going over to streaming and making people have to
take that extra step and think about, okay, now I
have to exist that in the third it will affect
(21:10):
their overall viewership and you're not just going to get
that baseline appreciation that the NFL seems to just take
for granted a little bit. So with Netflix, I respect
the ambitions, ambitions. They do need to step their game
up because Amazon, you know, the games don't have the
same quality as Amazon form, Amazon innovative things like the
(21:31):
next generation.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Ye yeah, you're breaking out on brother, so good, We
got we got your point. Though.
Speaker 5 (21:39):
We appreciate it what squeeze and one more n all right, way,
last call coming up a little a couple hours, so
if you couldn't get in, don't worry about it.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
We'll take last cost. A lot of people fired up
on that.
Speaker 5 (21:49):
Now.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
I figured people would jump in on that.
Speaker 5 (21:50):
Let's get yeah, all right, we have from joining us
in just a moment right now, Steven Saga was trending.
Speaker 8 (21:56):
Stee, you're right to use the word greed.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
It is a business.
Speaker 8 (21:59):
They're going after it, completely understand. But it's a cash
cow already. Right At what point are you gonna think
about the fans?
Speaker 2 (22:06):
But at some point Steve, like like I brought up
about boxing, I think that's the fairest. Remember when you
watch we watched great fights on a Saturday afternoon. I
watched Muhammad Ali fight. You know ABC, Wild World of Sports,
they just.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Have an artist.
Speaker 8 (22:21):
There were Friday night fights.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Friday night like on free television where you could watch
and all these generations of kids grew up never seeing
a fight, never.
Speaker 5 (22:30):
And that's where UFC is kind of snuck in there
for them for the last ten to fifty years. You know,
they're sneaking in those put up some big fights sometimes free,
sometimes not. But at least they're the new thing and
these kids grow up. I mean way more about UFC
than boxing.
Speaker 8 (22:43):
Consider the expenditures and NFL team has salary caps, a
lot of it. The salary cap is under three hundred million.
Just what you get from national TV revenue is four
hundred million.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Right, you're already making one hundred million before you do anything.
Speaker 8 (22:56):
Else, before you pay the office people or the travel
or any of it.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
And I'll give you the other thing real quick.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Even like a team like the Yankees that do real well,
they have the own networking.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Yes, do you know they have like Friday.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Night games on free TV in New York for the
people who don't have cable.
Speaker 8 (23:12):
You know, a few balls are starting to do that
because of how the cable regional networks are going south. Yeah,
And so some are saying, well, is there a way
we can just have fifteen games out of this season's package,
go on regular team.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Regular TV on it for fans on a Friday night.
The Yankees are on light first Friday night.
Speaker 8 (23:30):
YEP, show them your product, get them out in the summer.
All of that, I'll talk about baseball in a moment.
We do have a lot of college basketball tonight that
includes number two Florida leading Oklahoma with eight minutes left
first half. Twenty six fourteen Gators Top twenty five matchup
has Texas A and M leading twenty three to twenty
two at Mississippi State Top twenty matchup with Purdue ahead
at Michigan State twenty one to eighteen. The NBA is
(23:54):
off till the Wednesday makeup game Hornets at Lakers. The
Blue Jays failed to sign All star of Vladimir Guerrero
Junior to an extension. The first baseman's deadline was last night.
The Cubs agreed to sign veteran infielder Justin Turner one year,
six million dollars plus incentives. The Red Sox invited veteran
reliever Adam Ottovino to spring training. Carolina Panthers resigned quarterback
(24:17):
Andy Dalton. It was spring training media day today in Phoenix.
So Commissioner Rob Manfred was speaking. Was talking about the
MLB rules changes in recent years and the increasing reach overseas,
and he says we now have a crisp athletic, action
packed product in Major League Baseball. He says, our clubs
are telling us attendance wise, we'll be up for the
third year in a row. Our rating across all our
(24:40):
platforms were up this past year and in the age
range eighteen to thirty fours for TV ratings that was up.
They want to have the youngest possible audience. The World
Series with a Yankee Dodger matchup had the best rating
since that Cubs World Series almost a decade ago.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
And also you had.
Speaker 8 (24:58):
The ratings in Japan where a rac you had it
a year from basically, and you have the Tokyo Dome
hosting the openers with Dodgers and Cubs coming up next month.
One other thing, you know how they try to have
some iconic setting for one summer game August second, Fox TV,
like the Rick wid field last year, the field.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Jobs which was beautiful, and I know it's at a raceway, right.
Speaker 8 (25:20):
Yes, it is August second, Braves Versus Reds at Bristol
Motor Speedway in Tennessee. They're going to put a baseball
field down on the steel field on the NASCAR track
with the regular dimensions of a baseball stadium.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
Crazy and they get huge.
Speaker 8 (25:36):
Attendance at that place for NASCAR, So they're thinking possibly
one hundred thousand people for baseball.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Still trying to figure out if I'm going, but I think, uh,
I think I want to try to make it there.
Speaker 8 (25:47):
But an astounding set that will be if you build it, Steve,
they will go, they will come.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
All right, Thank you, Steve. We appreciate you.
Speaker 5 (25:55):
Our company line for retire rack dot com studios. We
just said, he'll be here and hee is you got
another that is? You're right about that. I tell them

what I like to happy about that. I am too.
Speaker 5 (26:23):
E from Salam our guests now former NFL Offensive Line
and Fox Sports Radio weekend hosts as well.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
E from salam on Twitter. What's up, E? What's up?
Speaker 4 (26:31):
What's having y'all doing good?
Speaker 1 (26:33):
How about you?
Speaker 4 (26:35):
I'm dood man, you know I can't complain.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
All right, well fans on complaining yet, But real quick,
this story about the Netflix buying the Sunday you know,
NFL rights take it from CBS or from Fox, you know,
like the one o'clock Sunday package, all the games away
from the network television. And I said, while I understand
NFL and business and money, it will make some fans
(27:01):
like you know, say I can't afford it, I can't
watch it. I'm about to get my NFL action and
somewhere else. I mean, you gotta be careful not to
strip fans from totally getting free, free NFL on television.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
Yeah, I agree, And it's probably in those markets will
be available, right, So I'm thinking, you know, if the
Rams are playing, it won't be on Netflix, It'll be
on you know, k cant or whatever.
Speaker 5 (27:30):
No, no, no, supposedly it's going to know it's going
to be on Netflix afternoon.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Yes, so you'll click on that or something from and
you'll get that game, you know what I mean, the
same way like how they did Christmas.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
Will will it be in multi view as well?
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (27:47):
Well, I mean they're they're setting it up where just
exactly how you get your.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Fill yeah, your local game, you will get it, get
it on Netflix rather than CBS.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
That's it.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
Okay, what YouTube still gonna have the package and all
of that, right.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
We don't know. Yeah, I mean that's what's to be.
Speaker 5 (28:05):
Basically, they have to twenty thirty three as it deals,
but they can drop out four years earlier the NFL.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
And that's where Netflix they're.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
Talking about it already tells you from where Netflix they
got nothing but money.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
They are a number of money and they gonna spend
it too. So look, it's all about pushing the brand global.
Netflix is in all of the country. So if that's
what the NFL wants to do, it's a good look
for the NFL. That's just what. That's just the whole
point of global expansion. The more eyes outside of the
US you can get on your product brings in more uh,
(28:40):
more players, more everything, more revenue. Everything the NFL is
trying to do, they're getting ready to accomplish it with
a company like Netflix, and that's what they want to
be in other countries.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Hey, Ephraim, I would not have believed that after the
Deshaun Watson and thing that we would be reliving that
with justin Tucker. Now there are sixteen women a story
broken by the Baltimore Banner. People were pooh pulling it
at first, and I'm pool pulling it anymore. People are
coming out of the woodworks. What do you make of that?
(29:14):
That the same kind of situation. He was even reportedly
banned from some places for his actions.
Speaker 4 (29:21):
Wide open, We're gonna be able to control yourself. But
I said to say, it wouldn't surprise me. It's not
surprising that someone else is, you know, being accused of
this type of behavior and all that not saying that
(29:43):
you know, this is a common thing, but I think
in terms of players, who are people who get massages
all the time or people who have gotten certain type
of massages now all of a sudden only want those
type of massages, and you can start putting people and
terrible situations, uncomfortable situations, and like you know, some of
(30:04):
the accusers, this goes back three four years, so right
around the time all of this was going on with
Deshaun Watson, you know, you know, allegedly justin Tugle. What's
doing this at these places?
Speaker 5 (30:17):
Yeah, I mean it's enough players in the NFL that
you know something's gonna happen every couple of years. It
might not be this, but there's always gonna be something
that the league has to deal with when you're dealing
with fifteen hundred people. You got he from Salam with
the couple Robin Kalman, former NFL offensive line and Fox
Sports Radio Weekend. One of the big stories right now
is T Higgins and Joe Burrow has been public recently.
(30:39):
He's been public the last few months. He has made
it known he's he given up some of his money. Yes,
this is Cincinnati.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
Is Cincinnati. He might have to give him half a check.
Speaker 5 (30:46):
But he's like, Hey, I want my guy, and I
also want I still want Jamar Chay, I want all
of us.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Why can't we figure this out?
Speaker 5 (30:53):
Cincinnati's history of being a little cheap, They would get
mad if you said it, but they do. What do
you make of how they're going to figure this out
right now?
Speaker 1 (30:59):
Free?
Speaker 5 (31:01):
What am I trying to say? You know, signing and
keeping him for another year. But they ultimately got the
work out a deal.
Speaker 4 (31:08):
Yeah, I don't. I don't know if that's gonna happen.
I know Joe Burrow wants TM Higgins. I know that's
what he would like, but you got to look at
it like this. I mean, having TM Higgins hasn't stopped
them from starting slow notorious for the last three four years.
So ownership is like, uh, okay, they don't want to
(31:31):
pay anyone anyway. Now, if they were going if he
was putting up the numbers and they were going to
the playoffs, and they would if they didn't have the
year that they had with Joe Burrow putting up those
type of numbers, they'd be a more compelling case to
make that happen. But now they'll just be like, well,
you had them and it didn't amount to anything. That's
(31:51):
what the owners are looking through. If we spend this money,
what do we get in return? Right you to put
up great numbers or do we have a chance to
win a Super Bowl? And I think you know, based
on how the running backs are fed, all the running
backs that weren't weren't wanted by other teams, how they
overperformed for their new teams, and how the formula now
(32:14):
it seems is to you know, have a running back,
a bell cow that you can lean on to stabilize
your offense and destabilize defenses. I mean they that pendulum
with over paid wide receivers. I think that market is
now shifting, uh slowly back towards a more dominant offensive
line and ground game.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
Hey from you played college basketball, you're you're a big
Laker fan and you follow the game. How awful was
the NBA All Star I mean, I watch and did
you see the empty seats there? I mean people are like, Okay.
Speaker 4 (32:49):
Don't watch. Yeah, it costs too much money to go
to something that you don't even want to finish watching
Number two, the saving grace of the entire weekend, doesn't
even play in the NBA, which is crazy to me.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
Back, I'm pro testing the slam Dunk contest because three
years in a row during Black History Month, the white
guys winning the slam dunk.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
Even close, He's winning after the first dug.
Speaker 4 (33:22):
Yeah, after that first dunk, I was like, oh, this
is over there. Yeah, everybody go home. You just turn
it off.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
He jumped over the kep better than Blake.
Speaker 4 (33:29):
Even even in the three point contest, which was the
scene that everybody was clamoring for the fact that we've
all been so desensitized to three pointers because they shoot
so many in the regular season during the games it
doesn't even is no longer a specialty skill anymore.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
That's a good point. That's actually good.
Speaker 4 (33:51):
The great thing about the three point Uh, everybody can't dunk,
everybody can't win mel but you could watch the three
point contest and watch like dynamic shooters do this art
form that was was dynamic. Now every centers are shooting.
It don't matter now. So now it's lost a bit
(34:11):
of its luster. So what really, truly does the All
Star Game have to hang his head on.
Speaker 5 (34:18):
Yeah, well we got some stuff Rob and I gonna
talk about a little bit later show from Man.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
Thank you so much, Lucia, thank you?
Speaker 4 (34:25):
At you all right?
Speaker 5 (34:26):
They say, yeah, the uh, there's something I want to
throw at you. Speaking of the All Star stuff, they
got some stas some players who were there during the
All Star weekend about some of the things that Adam
Silver has been tossing up, including ten minute quarters. We'll
tell you what players have to say about that. It's
the odd couple of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (34:46):
Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in
the nation. Catch all of our shows at foxsports Radio

to not be having your head bobbin?
Speaker 1 (35:06):
Are you okay? That scene in here? Okay, I'll let
it slide. Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 5 (35:10):
I couple Robert Kevin on the trash Talking Tuesday coming

Speaker 1 (35:30):
Rob I want to throw this at you. No trash no,
uh no what uh checko city. I told you no,
that's right, you'd be out here.
Speaker 5 (35:37):
It's so bad right now where I look bottom TV
in front of us, they're showing an old Wisconsin Illinois
game from like oh three or there is no knowing
real happening right now.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
Gonna go so old.
Speaker 5 (35:47):
I think the laces on the basketball James Natesmith is
even saying, all right, so I wanted to show. Uh,
we've been talking about the All Star weekend in the NBA.
There's some stuff that has gone around.
Speaker 4 (35:59):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (35:59):
They put basically looking at some of the things that
Adam Silver's been looking to change or what They pulled
fourteen players who were out there on some of the
things that they thought. So, first thing, I want to
throw you remember we had a conversation about Adam Silver
wanting to go to forty minute games and he was
referencing all, you know, international games are like that and
it's just faster and you and iproby nobody. Of all
(36:19):
the complaints people have about basketball, that ain't one of them.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
And he tried to make it, well, well it fits
better in a two hours you know, a two hour Yes, no,
the NBA game is two fifteen is at the end
of the world.
Speaker 1 (36:29):
Nobody has complained.
Speaker 5 (36:30):
You've never gone anywhere, so should a regulation NBA game
be reduced? This is coming from the athletic. They pulled
fourteen players out there during the NBA weekend. How many
you think they said that said know? How many said yes?
Fourteen they asked.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
Zero said yes, and fourteen said.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
You are one thousand percent. Come on, nobody wants to
change that. It would mess up the rule book, the
history books, record books. Nobody wants that like that is
a bad, bad thing to even It would be like
Major Baseball said, you know, let's just play seven ins,
everybody out of here in two hours.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
Yeah what? People would go crazy? Yeah.
Speaker 5 (37:08):
So here's another one that Adam Silver tossed around, and
you and I talked about a little bit.
Speaker 1 (37:11):
We both agreed, Now you don't need this.
Speaker 5 (37:14):
Should the NBA make a rule change to impact three pointers,
like moving the line a little further back or introducing
a four point shot? Again, this time they got eleven
people to respond and this particular question.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
So eleven people, I'm going to say eight to three
said yes, they should do something close.
Speaker 5 (37:34):
Seven said no, well I mean close in the number breakdown,
but four said yes, seven said no. But some just
to read you some of the list of With Darius Garland,
for instance, obviously All Stars in three point contest for
the Caps, he said, I'd introduce a four point shot,
just a couple of feet back, not too far. Evan Moseley,
who was an All Star, said I can see lengthening
(37:54):
a three point line just because it's getting easier and
easier for guys to shoot him. But a four point
line is kind of crazy because you changed the whole
game Steph Curry. I don't have any problem with guys
and teams shooting a lot of threes. Obviously that's the
way that I play, and I love the factor that
factor in the game. But you've also got to put
in the work in behind the scenes to take full
advantage of Basically, that's him saying, y'all not like us,
(38:15):
y'all not like me, stop trying.
Speaker 1 (38:17):
To shooting three. You'll just say, man, I ain't making them.
Speaker 5 (38:20):
And Damian Lillard, I'll read another them because he's also
a sharp shooter. I think obviously the game could be
cleaned up in a few ways, but I don't think
it's just on shooting two many threes. So the guys
who shoot them well don't feel that way because they
shoot them well. The rest of us got to watch
all these other guys not shoot well. And here's one another.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
One you might like.
Speaker 5 (38:36):
Which city anywhere in the world should the NBA pick
for expansion.
Speaker 1 (38:43):
Any cities? It's one is obvious.
Speaker 5 (38:45):
Uh, it's the one that we all think is coming
next here domestically.
Speaker 1 (38:49):
Well, Seattle, that's on the list. They got four h
Las Vegas. There you go.
Speaker 5 (38:53):
They got most votes at eight and then after that,
you won't guess per se.
Speaker 1 (38:57):
But Paris got four votes and then want sold more
than London.
Speaker 5 (39:01):
One for London and all these other cities that got
one vote San Trope, Mexico City, London, Nashville, and Dubai.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
But yeah, Vegas got the most to hit it, right,
Oh that's right.
Speaker 5 (39:15):
Yeah, we did, Ben and Duba. We had to pick one.
That one went, that one went. Yeah, Vegas is just Vegas,
just you know, we mean having we did say I
took a plane in the sky. Somehow, somehow it's coming back, somehow,
it's coming back.
Speaker 1 (39:31):
With all these.
Speaker 5 (39:32):
Gambling conversations we've been having, robbed, do you think Vegas
is still like you know, cause we keep having these
issues specifically in the NBA too.
Speaker 2 (39:39):
They're not going away from Vegas, all right, just saying
they've already embraced it. Yeah, and they have to live
with it even if they have scandals and players.
Speaker 1 (39:50):
Gonna be it's gonna be scandals. I'm telling you.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
When you know somebody's banged up or heard or not playing,
you're going to let your family and friends.
Speaker 1 (39:59):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (40:00):
I'm in the I'm in the locker room, and I
know the star playing and playing, and the spread is
this before they that nobody knows he's not playing until
they announced it right before the game.
Speaker 5 (40:11):
Go make your bet, all right, And I told you,
I'm just saying. I'm just telling you what I You know,
you might want to go do that. By the way,
twelve players of the fourteen said they liked the new
tournament All Star Tournament. Man, I told you that we
was good up there in the Bay Area.
Speaker 1 (40:29):
Say good bye.
