Speaker 1 (00:01):
Don't listen to Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Ah, good morning, good morning, good morning, good morning, good morning,
good morning, buddy. Happy happy Memorial Day weekend to all
across the nation. Man, it's awesome. Man, we've reached a
Memorial Day weekend. You know, I think and figure you'll laugh,
but it's that much closer to football season. But uh,

(00:27):
Memorial Day, we can listen, take a moment, thank everybody
who has served us and you know, allows us to
enjoy a weekend of you know, cookouts and all kinds
of beach and fun and revelry and family and friends.
So take a moment and thank all those people who

(00:48):
have who have who serve and have served and we
need them and uh and just it just provides our life,
our lifestyle. So enjoy the weekend. It's always the best
one of the ushers in the summer. And it's funny
because I always people think I'm nuts, but I go, oh,

(01:10):
this is great because once Memorial Day hits, you know,
we're on a race to to training camp. Let's bypass
ots and let's go right to training camp. Man, Let's
go and we can get to the preseason and finally
a long summer of you know, I love baseball, and

(01:34):
I love where we're at with the finals in the NBA,
guys were as the which we'll get to in the moment,
and the NHL. But man, you know, the butterflies go
dorm it in the summer. You don't get butterflies until
football starts. Football figure football.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
Good morning, my brother, Good morning, Cause what's going on?

Speaker 2 (01:59):
Not for much, buddy, nothing much?

Speaker 3 (02:00):
Where about what ninety days from football? I guess if
you want to talk at the preseason variety.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
It's such a long offseason, it is. That's we talk
about it all the time on the show. That's part
of the appeal.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
That's what makes it so great. We have times, milestones,
and every once in a while, I feel like I
got to bring it up to you.

Speaker 3 (02:19):
Yeah, it gives the NFL well in some senses because
it is year round nowadays with everything, but from the
actual product on the field, gives you time to miss it.
That's something that can't be said for baseball or basketball.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
That's true. I mean, listen, and while I would I
might to a tinker and move the schedule in the
back end, move it back like a week or two.
You're right, like you shouldn't you shouldn't do any more
than that, because it does when you miss it. Because
when it hits, when it comes back, it's like the

(02:55):
greatest thing in the world.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
It feels special.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
It does. It does. You're spottling and they and you
don't mind. You know, you love the fact that football
is between college and the NFL is you know, four
or five days a week because you don't get tired
of it because it takes some one to get here
that you just ride through it.

Speaker 3 (03:16):
Yeah, And it's like in every game means something. Every
game is an event you only have, you know, in
college you have what twelve thirteen of them. The NFL
you have seventeen of them now soon to be up
to eighteen. Yeah, but it's still scarce to compare uson
to eighty two for the NHL or the NBA or
god forbid, what's sixty two for.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
Major League Baseball. There's just there's a lot of doul drums.

Speaker 4 (03:37):
You know.

Speaker 3 (03:38):
You can say I can miss this Tuesday night game
between you know, the Phillies and the Reds. You're not
gonna say I'm just gonna miss this random game between
the Eagles and the Bengals, cause that might mean something.
Every game means something on the schedule, regardless of how
good your team is or bad your team is, you're
tuning in.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
Plus the other thing too, the game itself, Like the
game itself is an event, like baseball game. I love
baseball game. But it's even but especially now even you know,
with the way it's spat up a little bit. Yeah,
I mean, you know, you grab two fifteen to twenty and
that's fun, right, Yeah, it has been. I think, all
right at the basketball game. You know, you're you know,

(04:19):
two and a half hours. This football game is an event.

Speaker 5 (04:23):
Give me a three three and a half hour, you know,
chalk or not. You know, that's that's an event. Like
that's great stuff, you.

Speaker 3 (04:33):
Know, unless it's like a dog game or something like
the Texans and Cardinals or something. But generally speaking, yes,
I'm with you. Yeah, baseball games or basketball games, if
there's major it can be an event. If like, say,
next weekend, the Yankees are coming to LA to play
the Dodgers, which happens. You know, it's gonna happen more
frequently now with the new rules, but I mean almost
never happens that weekend, or at least those first couple

(04:54):
of games are gonna be an event. But generally, speaking
to your point, it's just the doldrums. It's just another series,
just another game, And it's not like that in the
NFL and football in general. In college football, the early
season matchups, the out of conference matchups, which I'm hoping
we're going to see more of, which I think will
be a positive byproduct of the expanded playoff. Teams won't
be scared to schedule a lot of conference.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
Yeah, it's going to get better.

Speaker 1 (05:16):
Yeah, so that that's wild.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
Football is even going to get better.

Speaker 3 (05:18):
Yeah, that might be one unintended consequence from the expanded
playoff for sure.

Speaker 2 (05:23):
Oh, without a doubt. But I'll tell you one game
that is a butterfly game is tonight. This is a
wild wild Eastern Conference Finals.

Speaker 1 (05:35):
Especially if you're in Miami. You got them butterflies working.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
Oh oh my, they got a win that night, and
they are seven and a half point underdogs. And this
is going to be fascinating. This this this whole series
whereas you know, seven and a half point dogs, really
and a half no way under dogs.

Speaker 1 (05:56):
Yeah, there's seven and a half point dogs at home
at home. That's ridiculous. Who made that line? What what
do they know that I don't.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
Actually, I'm sorry forgive me. My eyeballs are not working
and my and my allergies are killing make it worse,
so I can't affects my eyes like my eyes are
like itchy, and this time of the year, it's two
and a half. I'm sorry, that makes more sense.

Speaker 1 (06:28):
Two and a half.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
I looked just now right, just to look. I glanced
at it and it looked like it's seven.

Speaker 3 (06:36):
Ye I've been there. So I had never had allergies
until about three years ago. Uh, And my eyes just
kept itching and itching and itching. And one day I
woke up and stood in front of the mirror and
I look like I was possessed by a demon. My
eyes were they were bloodshot, they were red, crimson red,
like I.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
Want to urge and catch right now.

Speaker 1 (06:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (06:57):
They gave me all these eye drops and all this stuff.
And then one of my coworkers said, maybe it's allergies.
I was like, I don't have allergies. I said, we'll
take this and see what happens within eight minutes and
cleared up just like that.

Speaker 1 (07:06):
It is insane.

Speaker 2 (07:07):
Yeah, that's what that's what's going like my mind I
have in bed and they're and you know, they're itchy.
You can't rub them because you can do some damas.
Already did some damas with them. Oh it's awful. Yeah,
it's terrible because they just flare up on you. So
but anyway, two and a half, which you're right, it
sounds a lot better two and a half. Gabe Vincent

(07:32):
should be back with the ankle who and the he's
paramount man. The shape for the heat is they just
got decimated, right, I mean when you lose your hero, right,
you're losing old depot and then you lose Gabe Vincent.
I mean, after a while, you just can't overcome it.

Speaker 3 (07:51):
Well, like consider they haven't, I mean they really haven't
had a hero or earl a depot for the entire
playoff run to this point. But to your point, that
are they so they're already zapped for depth and gave Vincent,
who's been so good for them throughout the playoffs and
especially early in this series, to not have him in
that last game was vital. So yeah, and to your point,
I think this is a must win situation for Miami.

(08:12):
You do not want to go back to Boston. For
a Game seven. This was I remember going all the
way back to two thousand and four and people are
drawing all this the center, you know, the cynergistic the
Red Sox coming back from three to zero against the Yankees.
They people talk about the Patriots coming back against the
Falcons and the Super Bowl a few years ago, and look,
maybe there's something to it. Maybe there's some Boston magic.

(08:34):
I don't know, but I remember that's Red Sox Yankee series.
At the time, I said, the Yankees better win Game six.
Is if they don't, they're done in Game seven, because
it'll completely be in their heads. They lose Game six,
and I think Johnny Damon hits the home runs the
lead off Game seven, and it was all downhill from there.
I think Miami absolutely has to win tonight or they're done.

Speaker 2 (08:57):
Yeah, I agreed, brother, I completely agree. Listen, there's no way.
It was almost like it was. It's amazing the Celtics team.
They have cheated death like they should have lost in
the sixers. Yeah, I mean there. So it's game six
and this is gonna be interesting to see how they
come out and play Game six. So in the last series,

(09:20):
they come out for Game six and they're a mess, right, Like,
they can't hit their threes, and you know when they're
not in threes, they're just day later done. Yeah, and
the Sixers just couldn't get any margin. And they had
a couple of chances to go up five, eight, you know, eleven,
and you know they could never get those the big three,

(09:43):
the flurry of threes. They had open looks, you know, conversions,
they couldn't do it. And then and Tatum can't put
the ball in the ocean. And then here it is
six minutes to go, and that's when he goes and
he starts to get hot hits the three and each
face and next thing you know, you know, they win

(10:04):
game six and in game seven they just you know,
there was this They weren't losing Game seven in Boston.

Speaker 1 (10:10):
No, you know, you knew that wasn't gonna happen.

Speaker 2 (10:12):
Well, you also knew that the Sixers didn't have love
gumption well to beat him in game seven. Now, the
heat are different. The heat are tough, the heat have metal.
I don't think the heater is talented, that's sick or not. No,
But they're well coached, much better coach than you know.

(10:36):
I mean Obviously Spo was the best coach in the NBA.
They they're a grittier team, a tougher team, and they
got Jimmy and Jimmy's a winner. So this is this
is this is all about Jimmy tonight Man. Could Jimmy
summon you know whatever magic to stem the tide, because
right now there's something team. You know, they look like

(11:00):
they look like they're going to take the series.

Speaker 3 (11:03):
They do they love They're the more confident team, the
more aggressive team, especially defensively. The last couple of games,
I don't know what they've got, like twenty something steals
or something. He'd have been totally discombobulated on offense. And
as good as Jimmy has been for them, and obviously
he's been great for them, I think Bam out of
bios kind of. I won't call him an X factor
because I feel like he needs to play well for
them to win too, so I can't necessarily call him

(11:25):
an X factor. But if you look at these last
couple of games, he has not played extremely well, at
least not as well as he played the first few
games of the series, and.

Speaker 1 (11:34):
So Bam is always kind of like the barometer for
me for them. When Bam plays well, they generally win
regardless of what Jimmy does or doesn't do. So Bam Jimmy,
Jimmy was there. Yeah, look it, Look Jimmy didn't you know.

Speaker 3 (11:46):
I think Jimmy had what fourteen to fifteen points the
other night, so he wasn't super aggressive, but Boston just
kind of you know, he blitzed them in the first quarter.
They were up by fifteen before you know, Miami could
blink and it was pretty much.

Speaker 1 (11:59):
Wasn't close after that.

Speaker 3 (12:01):
So look, if you're asking me, and maybe we can
get into it later if you want, what my prediction
will be for the night. But one thing I will say,
at least at this point in time in the show,
I'll reiterate, if you're Miami, you do not want to
go back to Boston for a game seven. And you
saw Jason Tatum someone talk about the backs against the Wall.
As inconsistent as he can be at times, he's a
superstar and you see you've seen him have superstar moment.

(12:22):
Look with that seventy six er series, what game was
that was a Game five where he shot terribly from
the field one of thirteen that game six, Yeah, and
then he turns it on and hit pretty much every
shot the last ninety seconds of that game to lead
them to a win. He has that in him and
he's been that guy the last couple of games for Boston,
So he's he's he's one of those guys that you

(12:44):
you know, all it takes a get him a game
or two, a bit of a streak, and he can
be hard to stop. So if you're in Miami, you
hope that you'll be able to get in his way
and slow him down a bit.

Speaker 1 (12:52):
Tonight.

Speaker 3 (12:53):
I don't think that's going to happen, and I think
if anything, they're better off trying to slow down the
Derek Whits and Marcus Smarts of the world who really
killed them last game.

Speaker 2 (13:01):
Yeah, now Brock has got the issue, so you know
that's a big deal for them because he plays a
lot of minute And I agree with you Derek White situation.
The other guy though that that has not had a
good series up until game five is Jalen Brown correct. Correct,
And Jalen Brown I think I think he's a huge
piece when he's when he's made you sold early in games.

(13:24):
In game five, when he hits to three threes, He's
hit like three threes in the first quarter that like
they need him. Part of their rhythm is that Jalen
Brown goes off early, like his first quarter, first quarter
and a half is where he carries him and then
Tayden slowly starts to take over offensively.

Speaker 3 (13:43):
It's a big series for him. I mean, there's a
lot of talk. There is talk coming into the season.
You know, if they don't win a championship this year,
do they think of pivoting and going in a different direction,
And their biggest asset to move would be Jalen Brown.
I don't think I'd do it personally, but you know,
people getting patient, front office, fans, whatever you want to
call it. So if they don't find a way to

(14:03):
come back and win this series and get eliminated, would
not surprise me if they make some sweeping changes despite
the fact by the way that they're able to fight
back into this series. But also, you can't justify going
down three to zero and losing the first two games
at home the way that they did. No, Yeah, I'm
with you, man.

Speaker 1 (14:18):
I think that falls on Missoula.

Speaker 3 (14:20):
By the way that the coach, he has not I
don't think he's had a great rookie playoff campaign as
a head coach.

Speaker 2 (14:28):
Yeah, I agree. I think he's looked horrible. And you know,
I mean, listen, it's a tough spot. You're in the
way when you take over. But he just thought he
does not. They don't look prepared at times.

Speaker 3 (14:42):
No, not calling timeouts when he should, not having the
right plays drawn up. It just does. They look kind
of discombobulated at times. It's almost like the like the
players are running things to a degree, he's like the
coaches step up and make some decisions.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
Yeah, I agree. I'm with you. All right, we got
lots to get you analyzed. This game six. You know,
we'll be talking some football. We got a lot of
baseball to talk about it as well, and uh, Memorial
Day week we'll talk a little a little. We'll cook
in a cookouts. You're you a cookout man.

Speaker 3 (15:18):
I will attend them. I am not the I'm not
the chef. I'll say that you don't want that.

Speaker 2 (15:24):
You me here, I.

Speaker 1 (15:26):
Will I too.

Speaker 3 (15:27):
I spoke to I was talking to Chris Planko was
in for you last week. We talked about this. I
was like, I would love to be the guy to
say I wake I wake up early and I throw
something on the grill for a few hours and do
I But I don't. That's not my thing. I stay
in my lane. Yeah, lane, What drinks do you want
me to bring? I'll bring them. You need some plates,
I got you.

Speaker 1 (15:46):
That's about it.

Speaker 2 (15:47):
Yeah, I'm with you. I'm a bartender man too. I
can make a nice cocktail.

Speaker 1 (15:51):
Absolutely, I'm with you.

Speaker 2 (15:52):
Yeah, I like I I've been dabbing with a nice paloma.

Speaker 1 (15:56):
Oh, I like a paloma. You like a ploma?

Speaker 2 (15:58):
Yeah, I do use the hollow pino too, if you
like it's spicy, or we just do it without whatever.

Speaker 1 (16:04):
You don't do the whole thing. The fresh grapefruit, I
like it. The soda, the fresh crapefruit. I don't know
if I've had a fresh grapefruit alonga before. I do
the fresh grapefruit fresh line, okay.

Speaker 2 (16:14):
And then I do the U there's an Italian soda.
It's like a grapefruit soda. So it adds the bubbles
and a little sweetness to the real grapefruit juice and
the real fresh squeeze it lime tequila. You're living nice. Yeah,

(16:36):
that's a nice cocktail. Anyway. I might have one late
now I have one. Why not? Well, now.

Speaker 1 (16:46):
It's five am. Who cares, Let's go.

Speaker 2 (16:47):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what like. This time this
people work, this time of the night.

Speaker 1 (16:53):
You just go, well, I don't know, it was breakfast
is late night.

Speaker 3 (16:58):
I didn't sleep last night. So it's all this saying,
what does it matter. Today's yesterday, yesterday's today, Today's tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (17:03):
Let's go.

Speaker 2 (17:04):

So question, my man, what's it been like with the Lakers?
What's that you know, getting swept by Denver and you know,
with such a promising run. Man, it was, I mean,

(18:29):
it was a great run to the Eastern Western Conference
finals and then it just ends and ends pretty quickly.

Speaker 3 (18:37):
The general consensus from Laker fans is it was a
It was a pretty good year if you consider how
it started two and ten. You at the Russell Westbrook
thing hanging over your head from last season that clearly
wasn't resolved. There was tension up and down the roster
going into training camping into the early part of the season.
They were out of the playoff picture the majority of

(18:57):
the year. They swing the big trades at the dead
line and they have the second best record in the
NBA after the trade deadline and kind of surged their
way to the seventh seed in the postseason. So either look,
if you're coming into the year, if you would have
told people that they would have made it to the
Western Conference finals, have gotten swept. They would say it
sucks to get swept. But you're telling me they made
it back to the conference finals. I'll take that if

(19:18):
you just encompassed the way the expectation for the season
coming into how it ended.

Speaker 1 (19:23):
For the most part, a lot of fans were actually
encouraged by the way the season ended.

Speaker 2 (19:27):
So what does that mean for one? Bron? Now?

Speaker 1 (19:33):
Is he is he?

Speaker 2 (19:34):
I saw odds on where he may go next? Is
it a possibility that he leaves?

Speaker 1 (19:39):
No, He's not going anywhere.

Speaker 3 (19:41):
And I don't know where this stuff comes from people
telling rumors about playing with gold.

Speaker 2 (19:45):
I mean, I know exactly where it comes from. Phnich Okay, Yeah,
I heard filed without fear. I heard a lot of
places like what's that about?

Speaker 1 (19:54):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (19:55):
Like, okay, for if you say so, I don't know
where this where these stories are coming from?

Speaker 1 (20:00):
And why this? I don't know why would he be
traded to? First of all, how would he even be
traded to? Phoenix?

Speaker 3 (20:04):
Don't have any money to pay him? Right well, the
Lakers gonna trade Chris Paul for Lebron James. Good good
luck with that, you know, how is he gonna get
to Golden State. They're gonna trade him for Draymond Green.

Speaker 1 (20:13):
People just say things and they don't actually think these
things through of how they can happen. The only way
Lebron James doesn't play for the Lakers is if he
demands a trade, and I don't think that's gonna happen
anytime soon. His son just go.

Speaker 3 (20:26):
No, he can opt out after next season. He has
a player option, but that's this coming season. He has
a guaranteed deal and he's not going anywhere. By the way,
his son just committed to USC right, So in the backyard, Yeah,
your family's here, all your entire family is here, So
why would you up and leave? So it makes no
sense whatsoever the Lebron James would play for another franchise

(20:48):
other than the Lakers. So don't listen to the conjecture,
don't listen to the hype, don't listen to the rumors.
People are bored and just want to have something to
talk about.

Speaker 2 (20:58):
So what about the What do you do if you're
gonna try to tweak that team to try to get
that team over the top.

Speaker 1 (21:06):
Well, there's a couple of things.

Speaker 3 (21:07):
One I think it's imperative that you hold on to
Rui Hachimura, who had a phenomenal.

Speaker 2 (21:12):
Playoff right for god, he was terrific, man, I.

Speaker 3 (21:14):
Mean, guy didn't miss. He was absolutely incredible. And he's
twenty four years old. He's a young veteran. He's one
of those kids that came out of Gonzaga. I don't
know if it was his freshman season or second season,
but he's twenty four and I think he's like in
year four or five already. And Austin Reeves obviously another
guy restricted free agent Can Garner I think up to

(21:34):
ninety five million dollars from another team, but I think
the Lakers have to match it because he's another young
developing player who was not afraid of the spotlight and
performed when the bright lights were on at twenty four
years old, playing with Anthony Davis and Lebron James against
all these veterans, and he fit right in.

Speaker 2 (21:50):
Now.

Speaker 3 (21:50):
After that, they don't have a lot of money to
use from a free agency standpoint, D'Angelo Russell is a
free agent. They can sign him back to a to
a two year extension for a certain amount of money.
I forget exactly how much but if he if they
actually renounce him more, if it becomes an outright free agent,
he can actually get more, and then he would have
to force the Lakers to have to see if they

(22:11):
can match that. Now they do have expiring contracts Malague
Beasley sixteen million dollar team option and Mobamba, who has
a ten million dollar non guarantee contract.

Speaker 2 (22:21):
Which is deal. I mean, he's just kind of a
mystery because I always thought he had some mobility.

Speaker 3 (22:26):
He's a good outside shooter. He's not as good of
a defensive player as people think that he is, and
that's his issue. So like he has and he can
be a decent help defender every now and then. But
the idea that I mean, people were even saying like,
oh my Bamba is gonna come back for game five
or game four, game five of the Western Conference.

Speaker 1 (22:43):
Finals, and I think I hadn't played in a month.
And when he did play, he didn't do a whole lot.

Speaker 2 (22:48):
So that's why I ask. I always liked him as
a dude who has a little shop to go for Look.

Speaker 3 (22:56):
Even in general, the dude can't go off the bench
in Orlando. That was not going anywhere, So what does
that tell you? So like, yeah, the roll, the potential
is there, and look, he's still young. I guess he
can still turn himself into something more consistent, but as
of right now, I don't think he's an effective every
night NBA player. But expiring ten million dollar contract for him,

(23:17):
expiring sixteen million dollar contract from league Beasley twenty six
million dollars. They have their first round pick this year.
Because of the stupid NBA draft rule, they can draft
a player and then trade that player after the draft,
or they can agree to a deal, but they have
to draft the player themselves. They can't trade it before
the draft. So twenty six million plus a first round
pick is enough to get you a pretty solid role

(23:39):
player to come in and help help these help things out.
And look, just getting a training camp under your belt.
These guys were thrown together with twenty games left in
the regular season and had to figure it out in
the midst of Lebron James and Anthony Davis still dealing
with their lingering injuries. So you get a full training
camp in I assume Lebron James will get his foot
surgery sooner than later and be ready for or training

(24:00):
camp or at least, you know, join the team midway
through camp. But you get this, you get the car
back together. Maybe you swing a trade and bring in
one more impact player. They're already knocking on the door
again the Western Conference Finals this year. Even though they
got swept, it's not like they got blown out. They
weren't run off the court. They keep Lebron James and
Anthony Davis reasonably healthy on what does that mean? That means,

(24:22):
you know, fifty five to sixty plus games for those guys,
and they can better weather that's storm too, because they
have a better team with more depth than they did
going into the season with Russell Westbrook.

Speaker 1 (24:32):
They were top heavy. It was Lebron, A D. Russ,
and then a bunch of scrubs.

Speaker 2 (24:36):
Yeah he wasn't. Russ wasn't.

Speaker 1 (24:38):
He's not that guy.

Speaker 2 (24:39):
No, it'd be a big three on a thin team.

Speaker 3 (24:41):
No, But if you have a big three, or if
you have a big two and a team with more depth,
you can kind of more easily weather the storm. You know,
a random Tuesday night in Charlotte, maybe you can get
yourself a win. You know, So those those sorts of
things will help.

Speaker 2 (24:55):
I think the Lakers proved I would you know, you
don't need a bit depth. You know, it's a big thing,
Like if you have.

Speaker 1 (25:04):
A big three, then they better all be in their prime.

Speaker 3 (25:07):
You better have Lebron, d Wade and Bosch in their
mid twenties, you know, because outside of that, you're trying
to piece it together with a guy that's injury prone
like Ad, a guy that's aging and now injury prone,
and Lebron James. You know, the Kyrie Irving stuff has
come up, and we can get into that later if
you want to. But because there's already rumors of like, oh,
the Lakers can renounce all their free agents and free

(25:27):
up all this money and sign Kyrie Irving. And Kyrie
is a better player than Russ easily, there's no debate
about that. Yeah, but you're kind of putting yourself on No,
you're putting yourself in the same situation. Like Russ's look
was gonna be available on the court every single night.
He might not be effective.

Speaker 1 (25:41):
Kyrie Irving is effective when he plays, but who knows
when he's gonna play. I don't know what's going through
the dude's mind on a day in, day out basis.
He might just up and disappear for a month.

Speaker 2 (25:50):
You know what's funny. I was thinking about this the
other day. I have a conversation and it was a
different scenario, but it's counting on guys, counting on players
show up, and there are certain guys you can't count
on sometimes visibility, right, And I was having a conversation

(26:10):
about whether my on my local show with a pitcher
named Aaron Nola. Yes, all right, who's gonna be a
free agent? Who's got great, great, great stuff. But you
can't ever coundle the dude like the Phillies. Just for context,
the Phillies had a had a there was scuffling, you know,

(26:32):
not playing well kind of you know, lethargic, and the
rotation has been bad and they have a walk off
when dramatic fashion Tray Turner hadn't done much, hits a
big home run.

Speaker 3 (26:45):
Lay the living crap out of him this week? Yeah
all that, man, you know, I mean, I just got here.
Give him some time, jeez, So let me, you know what,
all right, let me finish his thoughts.

Speaker 2 (26:58):
And then I want to ask you about that because
maybe I'm desensitized because I go, I just kind of
struck my shoulder, like intellectually, you're right, but you know, yo, dude,
like I don't find I don't think it's a it's
a mortal sin to Buddha guy when he's done nothing

(27:19):
for first two months. Yeah, but you know that he's
a greed. He's a great ballplayer. And you could say, dude,
I think you're a great ballplayer. I know at some
point you're gonna hit. But two months after signing that
deal of nothing, it's kind of unacceptable.

Speaker 1 (27:37):
Yeah, I certainly understand it.

Speaker 3 (27:39):
I don't know if he wants to get deeper into
it now or if you want to go back to your
to your area right now.

Speaker 2 (27:42):
Anyway, so I just just for the context. So anyway,
he hits a home run, they win, and then they
go to Atlanta. Atlanta's the best team in the nationally,
and they go to Atlanta and look, you go, are
you're gonna make some now's the time to kind of
turn your season around. You're on the five hundred and
you got a little back Arizona, who I love. I
think d Backs are a good young team. They beat

(28:04):
it right like, so all right, you know, you avoid
the sweep, come from behind, you down five nothing to
come back and win. Now's the time to kind of
get a little run going. So you know, you got
Noah against Tennis Dodd, a young pitch Virlanta. He's not
very not very good, and he's not one of those,
you know, Strider types, And right away Noah puts you

(28:28):
in a hole and you're and he's looking to go
get a monster deal. He was the opening day starter, Yo, dude,
you gotta come in and you gotta you gotta shut
him down and the bat's head. But they lost because
Noah gave up five runs, right.

Speaker 3 (28:45):
Right, And so I guess that this has been the
experience with Nola throughout.

Speaker 1 (28:49):
I guess he's run.

Speaker 2 (28:50):
So he's he's one of these dudes that you just
can't catch. Now, he's very good, but even in the
same game, like he'll strike out nine and then melt
down in the fifth.

Speaker 1 (29:01):
Emmy, yeah, and give up three four home runs.

Speaker 2 (29:03):
Like that's the kind of duty is. So I started
talking about this whole idea of you got to count
on a guy, and Kyrie he is that guy, Like
can you candle on them? You know, like I mean,
great ballplayer, you don't doubt well to Watson on the court,
for sure. We like sometimes I think Kyrie just gets bored.

Speaker 1 (29:27):
Yeah, he's he's.

Speaker 2 (29:29):
One of these like brilliant, like he's I mean, he's
a great player. I mean just you know, great, great player.
And sometimes I think when you're somebody's that talented, they
can get bored. That's what he strikes me.

Speaker 3 (29:44):
As may But that's not good either. I mean, you
have a job to do. You're getting paid a lot
of money to do this. You say you care about
the game of basketball, I mean, do you.

Speaker 2 (29:54):
Well, I mean fair point, so I mean you care.
You can't get bored. Yeah, one, hey, fake did we
ever hit me? Which I'm trying?

Speaker 1 (30:03):
All right, Well, we'll start with some Major League baseball pirates.
Were not bored. They were invigorated. On Friday night, they
had seven home runs beating, yes, two of them for him,
eleven to six to final score. They beat Seattle, They
snapped the Mariners four game winning streak. How about the
Rangers best run differential in baseball? They're lighting people up?
Did it again to Baltimore twelve to two.

Speaker 3 (30:24):
This is a battle of two teams the second and
third best records in the American League behind Tampa Bay
and Texas. Just put it on Baltimore twelve to two.
Corey Seeger a grand slam there, Marlin snapping the Angels
four game winning streak, Boston inning a four game skit.
They beat Arizona, Houston has won nine to eleven. They
beat the woefull Oakland A's who have just ten years
excuse me, ten wins on the season. It was the

(30:47):
Mets five, Rockies two Padres over the Yankees five to one.
Home runs there for Fernando Tatis Junior and Juan Soto, Guardians,
Blue Jays and Nationals with victory.

Speaker 1 (30:56):
The Phillies beat the.

Speaker 3 (30:57):
Braves six to four, K Crimpbell picking up his four
hundredth career save, and Tampa Bay, the team with the
best record in baseball, beating the Dodgers nine to three.

Speaker 2 (31:06):
Back to the Fellas, all right, thank you, my buddy.
We are the Fellas. Come you alive from the tai
Iraq dot Com studios. But get back to the uh
which talk about like to me, you almost if you
can't count on a guy, and whether it be spotty
like great talent but they only show up three quarters

(31:29):
of the time, or they're just you know, you can't
count on them. Because in the Kyrie peace where he
just is almost his behaviors erratic.

Speaker 3 (31:38):
Right, you just it's you can't risk investing that much. Now, look,
if Kyrie irving on the and there's a school of
thought that the market will dry up for him and
he might have to end up signing one of these
one year prove.

Speaker 1 (31:50):
It deals somewhere.

Speaker 2 (31:51):
Yeah, I thought that.

Speaker 3 (31:52):
If that's the If that's the case, if I'm a
team like the Lakers, who at that point would only
be able to offer him like a veteran's minimum or
like a mid level exception or something that's a flyer
you're willing to take. Because it's similar to Westbrook when
he got waved when he was traded and then waved
and the Clippers picked him up. It's like, if it works, great,
If it doesn't, we'll cut him. Losing it doesn't cost
us anything, so it's a low risk move. But if

(32:13):
you're talking about Kyrie looking for a two hundred plus
million dollar contract, I don't think anybody in their right
mind would give that guy that money.

Speaker 1 (32:19):
Nobody, Houston. I don't care how much money you have. No, no,
how could you in your right, in your right mind,
with good conscience give him a long term extension with
the way that he's uh, the way that he's acted
these last four or five years.

Speaker 2 (32:32):
Yeah, it's weird, it really is. It's bizarre how that
thing is. It's just, you know, where he just went
off the rails.

Speaker 1 (32:39):
Yeah, but if his head's on straight, he sees he's
the top eight ten player in the league, one of
the best ball handlers in the history of the sport.

Speaker 2 (32:47):
And I don't think that hyperbole. No, I agree, I'm
with you. And you knew that Luke could think what
was it going to fit? I mean, no, do you do?

Speaker 3 (32:54):
I mean, and but look, and the problem is, you know,
you go back to when he was with Boston. This
was four or five years ago. I mean, Tatum and
Brown were super young. Kyrie was injured. He was out
for the playoffs, and they made it all the way
to Game seven of the finals against Cleveland without him there.

Speaker 1 (33:09):
They played better when he was gone.

Speaker 3 (33:11):
The Mavericks were had a better record before they traded
for Kyrie Irving, they were worse with him than they
were without him. That's two situations where, despite his individual
talents being otherworldly, teams improved that the team that was
good was worse once he got there, and the team

(33:32):
that was middling took off once he left in Boston. Yeah,
and that has to count for something.

Speaker 2 (33:38):
I agree. I'm completely with you.

Speaker 1 (33:42):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (33:42):
Coming up, you know one of these uh, somebody did
one of these memes of the NBA franchises and I
want to well all the categories and I wanted to
hit the categories and tell you where they put the
franchise and you tell me if you agree or not.

(34:04):
It's fun. It's like the Elite, the blow it up
and all that stuff.

Speaker 1 (34:09):
Interest I haven't seen this, Okay.

Speaker 2 (34:10):

(36:14):
So we when we go there, I'm looking for the
park and looking for Hershey and I don't see anything.
It was just a it was like twenty like twenty
minutes outside of Hershey. Oh, and I'm expecting like Willy
Wonka and like chocolate fountains right rolling out and I

(36:40):
get nothing but like, you know, like rural Pennsylvania, like
with nothing, like just the fields weren't even that nice.

Speaker 1 (36:48):
No, yeah, you're like Derman Thomas who said I got drafted,

Speaker 2 (36:53):
I was like, because that's exactly would it was, Thomas,
You're exactly right, I'm going to It's gonna be awesome, said,
we're gonna do this. This isn't it? And there was
there was you know, there's a real nice hotel in
Hersite and I'm joking around, but it was like it's
called the Hershey Hotel. It's beautiful, right. Instead, we stayed
at one of these like low rent type of joints

(37:14):
that that you know, the only the only motown in
town type of thing. Oh oh just horrible, Oh, just horrible.
And you know, and then and then to make matters worse,
kids have a big Saturday, right, we go to this
little pub type of thing to celebrate, and this was

(37:36):
his first time in a hotel, right, like you know
what I mean, like first travel game because we missed
we were supposed to play. So in Maryland there is
a compound called Ripkin and it's Cal Ripkins little league
type of thing. It's not little league, but it's Cal
Ripkins youth baseball and it's unbelievable. They have replica of

(38:00):
the stadiums in Major League Baseball. That's good. Like there
was only a mini Famway Park and it's it's it's
so cool, such a great complex. So it's old for
youth baseball. So Masbow, we're supposed to go two years
in a row. One year he breaks his collar bone
and the next year he gets COVID, so I feel bad. Yeah,
so he winds up. So anyways, there's our first trip

(38:23):
on the hotel and it was fun, but we uh,
they win the first two games and then they had
to play like eight am and they lost. They was
still asleep geez right, So and the long drive, you know,
no good one. You gotta have the long drive and

(38:44):
you lose, right, you know he was bummed out. Of
course he was a little bummed out. But you know
the travel baseball circuit. It's big Memorial Day weekend. Oh yeah,

road hazard protection, over ten thousand recommended installers, tire rack
dot com the way tire buying should be hard. Fig.

(41:01):
We were talking a lot about heat and Celtics. Is
the heat last stand? You don't want to go up
game seven after blowing a three to zero lead and
you have to go to Boston for Game seven. You
gotta win tonight. And the question is what kind of pressure?
How did they show up amid that pressure?

Speaker 3 (41:22):
Fig well, look, I know that Jimmy Butler is as
big game of player as it gets, so he's definitely
gonna show up. So it's really a question of whether
or not everybody else is going to be able to
jump on his back and be able to ride that. Like,
I have no doubt that Jimmy Butler is going to
show up and have a huge night tonight because he
knows the enormity of it. He knows he does want

(41:42):
to go back to Boston for Game seven. And look,
there's still look man a Outebaio, there's still a couple
of guys on this roster that were still there from
that finals, running the bubble a couple of years ago,
so they know what it takes to get there. There's
still an element of toughness, and that's why. Look, Jimmy
Butler was as confident as it gets after they lost
the other night Popcorn, he smiling and he saying, look,
we just need to be ourselves, we need to play better.

(42:03):
Even Eric Spolstro is not panicking at all, So I
think they're handling it the right way. They have all
the confidence in the world. But I'd be lying to you,
and I think they'd be lying to you if they
said that all the pressure wasn't on their shoulders to
win tonight. Boston's already had their backs up against the wall.
They've been counted out already in all these games.

Speaker 1 (42:20):
What does it matter?

Speaker 3 (42:20):
So they're playing with house money at this point, all
the pressure falls on the shoulders of the Miami Heat tonight.

Speaker 2 (42:26):
Yeah, she I agree with you. And you know, hey,
it's a good look. We're eating popcorn and all this stuff. Well,
you know, inside you know which still matters, Like if
you care deeply about winning, you know, you know that
the tenor of a series right, right, and when the
series shifts, like when the momentum shifts. And it's funny

(42:48):
to have this conversation with the big brain will join
us a little bit later on, and we were talking
about this was before game five. You kind of thought
that once they staved off the sweep in Miami that,
you know what, Boston would take a real shot at
this thing, because you come home all of a sudden,
you win three to two, and then it's like you

(43:10):
go in, you got all the momento because if you
win this one game, you're coming home in game seven.
And you got to know you got to think that
the Miami is just gonna will in the game seven.

Speaker 1 (43:20):
You would think.

Speaker 3 (43:21):
But it's also I think there's a reason why a
team has never come back from being down three in
a series. It's really difficult to beat a good team,
even a team that that you know you're better than.
And I think we can admit that Boston just from
how they're built in a general sense, if all things
are equal, Boston is a better team than Miami. They're
just not playing as well right now, or they are
right now they are, I guess, so these last couple

(43:43):
of games, it's really difficult to beat a good team
four times in a row.

Speaker 2 (43:47):
And so I agree that start.

Speaker 3 (43:49):
So, I think this is the sixth time or seventh
time that a team is well if they If Boston
wins tonight, it would be the six or seven time
that a team has fought back from three to tie
and forced a game seven.

Speaker 4 (44:00):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (44:01):
And of course the team that was up three to
zero ultimately has ended up winning all of those series.
So but I'm with you, though I still feel if
Miami does not find a way to win tonight, I
would load up on Boston to take this thing in seven. Games,
especially with them going back home.

Speaker 2 (44:15):
Yeah, yeah, I mean, I just I'm with you, man,
I I look at it and go, I you know,
I don't know how you stave off that kind of
fit and that kind of deal. Yeah, you know, I
just don't. I just the enormity of it. And again,
Jimmy's one thing, but he's still a team like you need.

(44:36):
You know, he needs help. And it's as great as
a big game player as he is, you know. I mean,
you're only as good as what's around you.

Speaker 3 (44:46):
Yeah, you gotta have guys like Struce. I mentioned out
of Bayo in the first hour. He has to have
a big night when they win. It's when he plays well.
He's he he's the uh, he's kind of the barometer
for them.

Speaker 2 (44:58):
You know.

Speaker 1 (44:59):
Kyle Lowry has had some solid games in the series too.

Speaker 8 (45:02):
You know.

Speaker 1 (45:02):
So they just need their guys. Got that hand thing, Yeah, yeah,
So they just need their guys to produce, you know,
the way they have been like Caleb Martin or Cody Martin,
what if chev Martin twin it is always forget, forget
which one is which.

Speaker 3 (45:17):
But I don't He's not just have to drop thirty
like he did in game three. But he can't go
five for twelve like he did the other night either. Yeah,
there has to be a balance in there somewhere, agreed.

Speaker 2 (45:28):
Yeah, that's the Caleb. Yeah, no, I'm with you. I
would do his little exercise with you. We're gonna have
some fun. So I stumbled cross this meme about the
NBA franchise. All right, and so here are the categories,
and the categories are It's all right, old school, new money,

(45:54):
on the rise, seen better days, time to blow it up, poverty,
all right, So there are four teams in the old
school elite. What do you think?

Speaker 1 (46:17):
I guess I don't know what the what they mean
by old school like.

Speaker 2 (46:22):
So i'll give you. I'll give you on the Lakers, okay, right,
old school elite, like just a franchise of great success.

Speaker 3 (46:32):
Okay, So we're just talking about in general terms, not
their specific situations right now for the.

Speaker 1 (46:37):
Franchises, right, it's basically over the year, understand, and where
the where the franchise is at. Okay, just so the
standing of the franchise as a whole. Okay, then, yeah,
so I'm the old school elite, the elite of the
NBA Lakers Celtics are in there. I'm sure correct.

Speaker 2 (47:00):
Now these two teams are not they are They've had
success in the past, even though not now.

Speaker 3 (47:09):
The past like Chicago, Yes, yes, And then there's one
more I would say San Antonio on it.

Speaker 1 (47:21):
Yes, the Big breakof Freggy. I love it. So I
just teams that I've had runs of success over a
long period.

Speaker 2 (47:29):
That's the four, the mighty four in the old school
elite category Lakers, Celtic, Spurs, and Bulls. How about that
nice job.

Speaker 3 (47:43):
I don't know the exact numbers on this, somebody somebody
crunched them a couple of years ago, but like those
franchises won like seventy percent of the NBA championships over
like a thirty year period or something crazy like that.

Speaker 1 (47:55):
Yeah, there's not a little bit more than that. Yeah,
which is it's just unreal. Talk about lack of parody.

Speaker 2 (48:04):
Now there's there's something called the next tier down is
the new money tier.

Speaker 1 (48:10):
New money okay, And so these are three.

Speaker 2 (48:13):
Teams in the new money category.

Speaker 1 (48:17):
And these are like emerging franchises.

Speaker 2 (48:20):
Or relatively new just or just I mean maybe not
the ones one. I don't know why they would quote
new money, but it's kind of hard to to give
you the it's basically the second tier. It's like, you know,
not elite, but it's the next tier. So it would be.

(48:44):
So there's three teams and they give you, I'll just
give them.

Speaker 1 (48:48):
So I'll probably put Denver in there. I don't think
they'd be one of them.

Speaker 2 (48:51):
No, I felt the same thing, but no, no, Denver. Okay,
through the next tier down?

Speaker 1 (48:58):
All right, So what do we have in this tier?

Speaker 2 (49:01):
You got Golden State, sure, Miami and Dallas. Yeah, because I.

Speaker 3 (49:11):
Look at Yeah, I mean to look Dallas. Over the
last twenty five years or so, I've been extremely successful.
They've only won one championship, but that's more than many
other franchises can say. Golden State's new to your point,
you know, they were terrible for so long, finally turned
it around, and not say over the last what nine years,
they've been one of the best teams in the league.

(49:33):
And who's the last one? Miami, you're of the same.
They were competitive most of the time, won a championship
with d Wade and Shack and then turns it over
with the Heatles and did their thing again. And now
they're running it back with a completely different roster, which
is really impressive. So yeah, I put them in that
category absolutely. Then they go franchise on the rise. Now

(49:58):
these are the risers rising to the top tiers. There's one, two, three, four, five, six.

Speaker 1 (50:12):
Would the Clippers be in there?

Speaker 2 (50:14):
No, No, definitely not.

Speaker 4 (50:17):
No. No.

Speaker 1 (50:18):
I mean they've they've been pretty successful the last few year.

Speaker 2 (50:21):
I tell you where they're at.

Speaker 1 (50:22):
Okay, uh, Phoenix, Yes, very good. The other team you
mentioned the earlier, the Denver Nuggets, are in there.

Speaker 2 (50:32):
Correct. There's another team out west. There's actually three more
teams out west too, to be honest with you, Sacramento correct,
good job. There's two more teams out west and one
team in the East.

Speaker 3 (50:47):
That's interesting about Sacramento because they've literally they've been terrible
for twenty years.

Speaker 2 (50:51):
Yeah one good.

Speaker 1 (50:54):
Yeah, Memphis correct, New Orleans. No, even even with that
was a on that are pretty good. Yea. You said
another team out west yep, Oklahoma City with shape.

Speaker 2 (51:11):
Yeah, buddy, and then one team in the East.

Speaker 1 (51:18):
I'm leaning towards Cleveland, but I don't think it's Cleveland.

Speaker 9 (51:22):
No.

Speaker 1 (51:23):
I can't really call the Milwaukee on the rise. They
kind of been there.

Speaker 8 (51:29):
I know.

Speaker 2 (51:29):
I felt the same thing. But they go Milwaukee.

Speaker 3 (51:31):
If anything, Milwaukee should have been in that previous tier.
I know they they've already won a championship. Yeah, you
have a two time MVP and Defensive Player of the Year.
They're not on the rise, they're here, They're already here.

Speaker 2 (51:43):
Yeah, I agree. I think they should be the second tier.

Speaker 1 (51:47):
Yeah, I agree.

Speaker 2 (51:49):
Then they go the fourth tier is like seen better Days,
kind of withering franchise New York Knicks. No, no, I
know they had a good year this past year, so
I don't jump out they're at the bottom tier, are they?

Speaker 4 (52:05):
Well?

Speaker 1 (52:06):
Yeah, seen better days? Indiana Pacers.

Speaker 3 (52:11):
Uh, correct, And since I just saw a highlight of
this the other day the old Tayshawn Prince chased down
at Reggie Miller in the Eastern Conference finals a few
years ago, I'll say the Detroit.

Speaker 1 (52:24):
Pistons better days.

Speaker 2 (52:27):
Yes, correct? Correct?

Speaker 1 (52:30):
How many teams are in this tier?

Speaker 2 (52:31):
There are two four, six, six. There's a couple of
West Coasters.

Speaker 1 (52:38):
Oh, utah, nope, No, they definitely have seen better days.
I'll say that.

Speaker 3 (52:45):
Actually, I'm sorry, yes, okay, yeah, yeah, I thought there
would be a prime candidate. The Houston Rockets absolutely should
be in there.

Speaker 2 (52:52):
Yes, yes, you're rolling so jazz, Pacers, Rockets, Pistons. You
need two more teams, one in the west and one
of the east. One west one east. One in the
east is Northwest.

Speaker 1 (53:15):
Portland.

Speaker 2 (53:16):
Yes, and I guess you can't really argue no, they're
pretty like you know. And then one in the southeast Charlotte,
a little further south Orlando. Yes, yes, yeah, I guess

(53:39):
so seen better days like withering Pistons, Blazers, rockets, magic pacers, jazz.

Speaker 3 (53:47):
Like the Magic were never I mean, you know what
they had. They've had two different runs. They have the
Shack and Penny years, they have the Dwight Howard years.
So all right, I'll give them that.

Speaker 2 (53:56):
Time to blow it up is the next cat. There's
two more categories, time to blow it up and then
what they call poverty.

Speaker 1 (54:09):
Right, I'm wondering if the Clippers are in time to
blow it up? Yes, I understand that there are six
seven teams in poverty. Wait, so how many teams are
in time to blow it up?

Speaker 2 (54:23):
I mean seven teams and time to blow it up?
Four in poverty?

Speaker 3 (54:26):
Give me I could see Philadelphia in time to blow
it up? Yes, yes, Clippers, six ers, I would have
said Brooklyn, but they already did.

Speaker 1 (54:40):
Yes, I was Brooklyn in that category. Yes, they already
have to blow up. Yeah, yeah people people are driving
into Barclays and Sea Spencer. Didn't we right? Who else.

Speaker 2 (54:52):
Blow it up?

Speaker 1 (54:53):
Atlanta? I can see, yes, Tree Young floating out there.

Speaker 2 (54:58):
You got three left and one you mentioned already, two
you mentioned already and New Orleans. Correct.

Speaker 1 (55:09):
I don't agree with that, but okay. And then there's
two in the East, the Knicks Nope, also their poverty. Yeah,
one's up North Toronto.

Speaker 2 (55:22):
Correct.

Speaker 1 (55:23):
I feel like they're already semi blown up anyway.

Speaker 2 (55:25):
And the other team, actually I like the team itself today,
but they put it in time to blow up the franchise.

Speaker 1 (55:33):
Unlet's less bron goes back Cleveland. Why would you sell
that up? That's dumb. They've already rebuilt. They have a
great young core. I put this list together, some of
these I don't know.

Speaker 2 (55:46):
I don't know what it is.

Speaker 1 (55:48):
Ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (55:48):
Yeah, and then finally the lowest tier, the worst tier,
the poverty tier, the worst franchises in all the NBA.
Here's four of them. You got the Knicks. Who are
the other three? Well, the Wizards are definitely in there. Yes,

(56:09):
the Wizards are horrible.

Speaker 1 (56:12):
Yes, uh well I gotta give MJ's Hornets in there.

Speaker 2 (56:17):
Too, correct the Hornets.

Speaker 1 (56:22):
So who does that leave?

Speaker 2 (56:23):
And then that leaves the team with flees and they
let's see the tever Wolves. Yes, yes, it's correct. There
you have it. You did a great job and it's
exercise fig thank you wasted.

Speaker 1 (56:35):
But even Minnesota's got some talent. Anthony Edwards, I think
it's gonna be one of the young things.

Speaker 2 (56:39):
I agree. I love Anthony Edwards, but that franchise stuff
sucks not it has not been well run, to say
the least. The Knicks trash trash.

Speaker 1 (56:52):
Unfortunately, you can't get rid of the owner. That's the
thing that's run Nicks back. I think it's the Wizards job,
you know, you know I feel bad for Wash. He
to d C people, sports franchise, sports fans in d C.
I mean, is there a more trash sports scene than Washington?

Speaker 2 (57:12):
Like then are horrific, right, Like they had all that talent,
They let all those guys walk because they don't want
to pay them.

Speaker 1 (57:20):
Now though they did win a World Series, so at
least they have that to hang their head, right.

Speaker 2 (57:23):
But then you know, then you then you leave everybody
go And that was a COVID piece too true, So
they had for Boogaze.

Speaker 1 (57:31):
Right, the Capitols are terrible this year. The Wizards are chising.
Wizards are terrible.

Speaker 2 (57:37):
I mean, the Wizards are horrible, horrible, and then you
got Commanders.

Speaker 1 (57:42):
You know which, who knows what that's gonna look like
With Josh.

Speaker 2 (57:45):
Listen, I think they're gonna be on the on the rise.
I think Josh Harris will have them on the rise.
I think he's a good owner. I know he's a
good owner, and I think that whole crew will kind
of turn the franchise around.

Speaker 3 (57:57):
It's take a while on Josh Harris though, too, saying
that he's keep criticized it for being like, oh, he's
an asset management guy and he might not put all
the funds necessary into the team.

Speaker 2 (58:06):
He wants to actually turn the profits now you know?
So now, I honestly no, because I saw him. He's
going into luxury tacks with the Sixers. He has the deepest.
They have forty two assistant coaches.

Speaker 1 (58:20):
That's insane.

Speaker 2 (58:21):
I mean, like you know, you look at the coaches.

Speaker 1 (58:24):
Every individual player gonna have like three personal coaches.

Speaker 2 (58:27):
Right, like, you know, it's unbelievable how many how many
assistant coach they have. Yeah, so I don't I don't
see that. I think he's been and by the way
he's he did bring that franchise from talk about poverty
like they were horrible one year with AI and then
that they were trash, and then he brought them, you know,

(58:49):
to relevancy. He brought the Devil's to relevancy.

Speaker 3 (58:54):
So you know, I have nothing against him, as I
was just going, that's that's just some some stuff that
I was hearing. Yeah, that people shouldn't be as gung
ho about him buying the Commanders as they think.

Speaker 2 (59:04):
No, Actually, I think he's going to do a great job. Actually,
I like, you know, if I was to look at
it from a fan perspective, you know, you're better off
if Dad Sneider was still on that thing, because there.

Speaker 1 (59:17):
Was no way in the world they would never they'd
never win with him. No, No, they had what twenty
thirty years to prove that.

Speaker 2 (59:24):
Right right now, this was I think I think Josh
I was going to is going.

Speaker 3 (59:30):
To interesting list. Many things I think in here were misplaced.
Why anybody would ever suggest blowing up the Cavaliers right
now makes.

Speaker 2 (59:38):
Great, I think, and I don't even know why you
you would have her that franchise when they've been successful recently,
right all under the of Lebron.

Speaker 1 (59:47):
But it doesn't matter who was there.

Speaker 3 (59:49):
There was still the caval The Cavaliers won the championship,
not Lebron.

Speaker 1 (59:52):
James was the Cavs team.

Speaker 2 (59:54):
So I'm with you.

Speaker 3 (59:55):
They got a title under their belt. They have how
many finals appearances against Golden State under the belts and
they've rebuilt that in short order with all this really
good young talent.

Speaker 2 (01:00:04):
Yeah, yeah, I think you're spot on. All right, let's
take a quick geo. We'll come right back where the Fellas. Also, man,
we come back. How we got to talk to you
on DeAndre Hopkins.

Speaker 1 (01:00:18):
He wants to play.

Speaker 2 (01:00:20):
Ah, don't tell me that, I know. I already read that.
Oh my gosh. Where the Fellas hagging Memorial Day weekend
right here on Fox Sports Radio. Ah, good morning, Welcome back,
Fellas from the tire rock dot Com studios. Fellas brought

(01:00:46):
you by Discover. At the end of your first year,
Discover credit cards automatically double all the cash back you've earned.
That's right, everything you've earned doubled. Seriously see turns. Check
it out for yourself at discover dot com. On that
back slash match. All right, fag two things. One Hopkins,

(01:01:09):
where does he go? And he wants to play with Hurts?
Is it possible that they could the Eagles could go
do a one year deal of Gilga somehow get Hopkins
in and it's Hopkins, Devant A Smith, A J. Brown,

(01:01:31):
Dallas Goddard.

Speaker 3 (01:01:33):
Well, first, I'll say it was not just Hurts. He
gave a list of quarterbacks that he said he would
like to play with, So.

Speaker 2 (01:01:39):
All right, I get it, and honestly I think it
would be overkilled, but go ahead, it will be.

Speaker 3 (01:01:47):
The problem is every place that he listed it will
be overkilled. None of those places have needs. None of
those places have a lot of money to give to him.

Speaker 1 (01:01:55):
I don't know how much money he would make anyway,
He's already getting paid, so it will be a minimum.

Speaker 3 (01:02:00):
Are probably just above a minimum anyway. But you know,
Baltimore loaded up on receivers this offseason. Kansas City has
no money unless he just wants to play with Mahomes
on the cheap. And I mean because that's all they
need is I mean, do they need him kinda? I mean,
they just won a Super Bowl and we're just fine.

(01:02:20):
It would be great. They don't have a star receiver.
Travis Kelsey's a receiver. He's not a tight end whatever
you want to call it, but.

Speaker 2 (01:02:26):
Right, but they don't have any outside guys.

Speaker 1 (01:02:29):
And it didn't hurt him at all this past year,
did it.

Speaker 2 (01:02:32):
So no, you're right, they won. I mean, I can't
say any they won, but their offense. You know, again,
how much better it was when you had typree kel.

Speaker 3 (01:02:43):
I mean it was top it was top three in
every category this past year without him. So I don't
think they need him either. I think they look they
don't have a you know, a household name at receiver
like they used to. I'll say that, but it certainly
isn't a need. He mentioned justin Herbert charge, have you know,
two top receivers plus they just drafted one. And they

(01:03:04):
don't have a lot of money either, you know, till
I mean every in the Philadelphia Eagles, as you mentioned,
would be I mean, the rich get richer from that standpoint,
but that wouldn't be a need either. That would be
a luxury signing. So every place that he listed that
he would like to go. None of these franchises really
need him. I guess if you were to say Kansas City,
I guess would quote unquote need him, and that they

(01:03:26):
don't have a true star X type of receiver. But
they prove that they don't need that. I mean, it's
easier if you have it, No, sure, but I just
I won't say that. I can't say that they need it.
They don't need it.

Speaker 1 (01:03:43):
They don't.

Speaker 3 (01:03:45):
That will be a luxury signing for every franchise that
he listed, Every last one of them will.

Speaker 1 (01:03:50):
Be luxury signings.

Speaker 2 (01:03:51):
Luxury Huh.

Speaker 1 (01:03:52):
None of those places need them.

Speaker 3 (01:03:54):
If anything, if on Baltimore, I try to get as
many viable weapons around Lamar Jackson.

Speaker 1 (01:03:58):
So like if there's one that I'd say, like, all right, this,
this would work.

Speaker 3 (01:04:02):
Even though they've invested a lot in receivers this offseason,
you can never have enough talented pass catchers around Lamar.
There's a way that I look at it. Yes, guys
with big catch radiuses or RADII. I don't know what
the plural will be there, right yeah, So someone like that.

Speaker 2 (01:04:18):
Can I just give you your starting your starting receivers
right now? On the depth chart. I'm listening to k City, Valdez, Scantly, Cadarius, Tony,
sky Moore.

Speaker 1 (01:04:32):
YEP, I mean, come on, come on, I will come on.
They just won a super Bowl.

Speaker 2 (01:04:38):
Okay, but they did just win a super Bowl. But
those receivers pretty pedestrian, sure, Richie James, I mean, bro,
I think they need them. I think it's a need.

Speaker 1 (01:04:56):
I just thought, how can you say it's a need
when they just won a championship with out of stars
who left somebody left, right McCall Hartman, who barely did
anything anyway? Yeah, I mean I know, I Jude, I
just look at that group and I go, you know,
you know, I look at it. I like sky Moore.
I think sky Moore's got something. Darius, Tony you just
can't count on. He gets hurt all the time, right

(01:05:19):
if You'ltez Cantley, I mean he's decent.

Speaker 3 (01:05:23):
I mean, look, you have a superstar. You have the
best quarterback in the entire league in Patrick Mahomes. A
lot of times the court, the quarterback makes the receivers.
I think he's one of those who's good enough to well,
a quarterback to a certain degree can make the receivers.

Speaker 2 (01:05:42):
I agree. I agree, that's David.

Speaker 3 (01:05:45):
And Look, and if receiver was that big of a
need for Kansas City, I think they would have gone
more out of their way to address it this offseason.

Speaker 2 (01:05:53):
I thought it was a mistake. I'll be honest with you.

Speaker 1 (01:05:56):
Maybe it was. We'll see, but I I mean, they
get the kid rights out.

Speaker 2 (01:06:01):
Of the SMU. Sure, we'll see what he does. Yeah,
you mentioned sky More too, but I like schuy More.
I mean, listen, Ay knows talent, so h so I
trust him. Well, I do too, But again I would
I trust DeAndre Hopkins, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (01:06:17):
Sure, and if you can sign them, and if you
can afford him and he's willing to take what you're offering. Look,
I'm look, I'm sure if he said if he called
Andy Reid tomorrow and Bret Veach and said I want
to come, they're not going to say no. You know,
at least I wouldn't think so. And by the way,
it's not like he's like a vertical stretched the field
guy either. He's just he's a you know, I mentioned
a big catch radius.

Speaker 1 (01:06:36):
He doesn't necessarily but I think you have that like
you sky More and and uh and Darius Tony can
stretch the field. Yeah, but I mean for the time
you're underneath guys is Kelsey.

Speaker 2 (01:06:49):
Right, but then they have two you have. I mean,
you know, do you DeAndre and Kelsey? Sure, I'm working
together me.

Speaker 1 (01:06:56):
You know, he doesn't add a dimension that you're necessarily missing,
all right.

Speaker 2 (01:07:02):
So I mean, you know you can't swarm on Galsey
if you got DeAndre Hopkins, Well they.

Speaker 1 (01:07:07):
Swarm on Kelsey anyway, and that doesn't seem to matter.

Speaker 2 (01:07:10):
So I know, I'm just just you know, again, at
some point it's just you lighten the load on on
your doing your super tight end.

Speaker 3 (01:07:18):
Yeah, if if it's necessary, WHI should Last year is
for as hell didn't seem like it was. So I'm
not saying they shouldn't sign him. I'm just fighting back
on the fact that they need to sign them. Is
all right, I think they're fine.

Speaker 2 (01:07:30):
Of all those teams that you mentioned, I mean Baltimore,
the problem is they just got all those new guys
they did.

Speaker 3 (01:07:41):
By the way, none of those guys still fit. I
think DeAndre actually fits more of what they need around
Lamar Jackson than any of the other guys they signed.
A bigger guy.

Speaker 2 (01:07:50):
But you can also make the same margument you just
did with Andrews.

Speaker 1 (01:07:55):
Can I I mean, Andrew Andrews is good. He ain't
Travis Kelcey. Travis Kelces a unicorn as good as Andrews is,
He's not that I can't put the team.

Speaker 2 (01:08:05):
They're not in the same category, agreed, But he but
Andrews is that is the same. He's not stretching the
field type of guy.

Speaker 3 (01:08:13):
No, No, But you talk about in off and look
as good as Lamar Jackson is, he's not. Pat Mahomes,
I think you need to do as much as you
can to increase the.

Speaker 2 (01:08:22):
Marg disagree with that. I don't. I don't disagree with that.

Speaker 3 (01:08:24):
Increase the margin for error from a throwing standpoint as
much as you possibly can. Because the guys they've surrounded
him with in the past, little guys or Hollywood Browns
and all that, he just doesn't throw no like I were.

Speaker 1 (01:08:37):
If I were them.

Speaker 3 (01:08:38):
I'm getting me, you know, not literally, but Keenan Allen's
Mike Williams, like guys DeAndre Hopkins, big guys, AJ Browns.
You know, even though he can take the top off
a defense too, But guys who you can just kind
of throw it up and they can kind of fight
for fifty fifty balls. Because Lamar Jackson, at least so
far through his career, has not been the most accurate thrower,
especially downfield outside the Nobert. The field to tight ends absolutely,

(01:09:04):
but if you're thrown to the outside, I like to
have a more of a margin for error, and I
think having a bigger receiver helps him with that. So
I think that's why I think d hop going to
Baltimore will make the most the most sense of all
the other options.

Speaker 2 (01:09:16):
So I forgot too, and my main Keith, thank you,
Keith hits me with Chiefs released Smith Schuster too, So
that was it was very solid for them. Yes, I
mean that's that's not that's the other thing I know.
I forgot another piece. Did they shut her down? Those

(01:09:40):
two pieces again? Sky Moore comes in and skyt You know,
Andy must believe that sky Moore is is going to
take is taking that next step.

Speaker 3 (01:09:51):
Yeah, and look, Keith, he very well might. No one
knows better than than Andy who's in that building.

Speaker 2 (01:09:56):
But they are down receivers. That's smiling point. I will
be teams that we mentioned. They're the teams that he's
down receivers. They don't have a name at the receiver position.
I'll tell you that. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:10:10):
So, but you know they've they've gotten guys out of
nowhere before. Not that Tyreek Hill came out of nowhere.
He certainly was talented, and he fell because of off
the field stuff. They've they've they've shown the propensity to
find people and make it work. Andy has specifically. You know,
then when you have the best quarterback in the league,
I think I have confidence of him in finding a
way to make it work with almost anybody that he

(01:10:31):
plays with.

Speaker 2 (01:10:32):
All right, so here's the other thing. All right, let
me ask you this because we'll we'll we'll do some
trending and then I want to tackle this. So you
saw that the commanders were unable to, uh, to trademark

(01:10:54):
their name. They got denied correct, which was weird, but yes,
because you're just squad or on the name. So they
can't do then, well, they can't trademark the name. So
do you change the name. If you're Josh Icks, you're
coming in to clean up the whole thing. It's your baby,

(01:11:16):
do you just go? You don't want his name sucked anyway?
Let's just get our own name and redo the whole thing.
I sick about that. Oh okay, all right, I won't
answer yet. Hey, it's with trending and then we'll tackle it.

Speaker 4 (01:11:30):
All right.

Speaker 3 (01:11:30):
Well, we'll go to Major League Baseball from Friday night.
You at the Red Sox snapping a four game losing streak.
They beat Arizona seven to two. A home run there
for Key k Hernandez Chris Sayle picking up his fifth
win of the season, ten strike. He does looks a
lot better. Well, he could have looked a lot worse
in the last couple of years, true that man. But hey,

(01:11:51):
you know, got a World serious championship for Boston, so
I guess it was worth it back in twenty eighteen.
They haven't done much since then, but that's I guess
that's what happens when you go all in. I guess
they'll take it. Beck Scherzer back on the mound two,
struck out eight seven innings, Francisco Lindor with a home run,
the Mets beating Colorado five to two, Marlins with a
six to two victory over the Angels, and Anaheim Hunter

(01:12:13):
Brown five to one on the season for Houston, they
beat Oakland five to two. Kevin Gausman picked up his
first win since late April. Toronto beat Minnesota three to one,
Giants all over the Brewers fifteen to one. Freddy Peralta
charged with ten runs, although there were two errors in
one inning so only five of those were earned, but
still ten runs against Freddy Peralta from Milwaukee. Ferando Tazzis

(01:12:35):
Junior and Juan Soto helped to pace the Padres over
the Yankees five to one, each of those guys hitting
home runs. The Rays beat up Noris Sindergard and the
Dodgers nine to three, Rangers, Guardians and the Phillies with victories,
and as we mentioned, DeAndre Hopkins released by the Arizona
Cardinals on Friday, twenty two million dollar cap hit this
year for Arizona.

Speaker 1 (01:12:56):
Back to the Fellas. Yeah oh man, that saw uh.

Speaker 3 (01:13:03):
Mike Floria wrote a piece on them earlier Friday afternoon
saying they just basically proves that they're tanking. They're not, uh,
they don't want to spread the money across this year
and next year to save money. There was like, Hey,
you know what, We're gonna be bad. We're gonna play
for a top pick.

Speaker 2 (01:13:17):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (01:13:17):
Uh, and we're just gonna eat it now.

Speaker 2 (01:13:20):
Yeah, well they got a coach I can eat it. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:13:23):
Well the quarterback is gonna follow him out.

Speaker 3 (01:13:25):
Most likely, even with all the money he's made, he
might be a candidate to get cut or traded next
offseason two, although I don't know who a trade for him.

Speaker 2 (01:13:32):
Yeah, I don't know who want him. I mean, you
know about being again be reliable. Yep. Can he cannon
on him? That goes back to it. Got a guy's
a talent, but canny cannon on them?

Speaker 3 (01:13:41):
Yeah, and clearly and another guy. By the way, it
happens over and over and over again. You don't pay
guys until you have to, nah, exactly. The Rams dead
with Jared Goff.

Speaker 1 (01:13:52):
Hell, the Rams dead with Matthew Stafford the Super Bowl,
they paid him his elbow falls off.

Speaker 3 (01:13:56):
And now look at Kyler Murray. You sign him to
an extension when you didn't have to it. And now
look at what's happening.

Speaker 2 (01:14:02):
I know I'm with you, all right, we come back.
I want you. We post the question, do you just
scrap the commander's name and say, you know what, We'll
go ahead, We'll there's a squad Terns. Keep it, you
get head. Keep the name Commanders. It stinks anyway and

(01:14:22):
it's got no feel to it.

Speaker 1 (01:14:25):
We'll go back.

Speaker 5 (01:14:26):
We'll do another name and then redo the franchise once
and for all. Now that Snyder's out, we're the Fellas
hagging a memorial days.

Speaker 1 (01:14:37):
Saturday on Fox Sports Radio two.

Speaker 5 (01:14:40):
NBA Insiders podcasting twice a week to plug you right
into the NBA Great Five.

Speaker 10 (01:14:46):
All happening in only one place. This League Uncut, the
New NBA podcast with me Chris Haynes and me Mark
Stein join us as we team up to expound on
everything we're covering here and Chason.

Speaker 1 (01:15:01):
Listen to This League Uncut with Chris Haynes and Mark Stein.

Speaker 10 (01:15:04):
On the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get
your podcast.

Speaker 2 (01:15:10):
Fellas from the tire Raq dot com studios. Kevin Figures,
I'm Anthony Argana fake, just curious. Would you scrap the
commander's name? Well, it gets denied, right, so you can't

(01:15:36):
trademark it. You got a squatter there, you say, you
know what I'm going to take advantage of this time.
If you're Josh Harris, gone, I just bought this thing.
This thing needs to be completely redone. I just spent
six billion dollars. I'll get my own name. What do
you think?

Speaker 3 (01:15:56):
Yeah, I think from a it'll be smart business to
do that if you're not able to trade market. I'm
not the biggest fan of the Commander name either, although
I mean I'm trying to think whenever an expansion franchise
comes up or brand, the name is never good like
it initially. Everybody hated the Pelicans, everybody hat the Bobcats.

(01:16:16):
What other expansion franchises, the Golden Knights. I mean, I
don't like, could you could you go to like the Hogs?

Speaker 2 (01:16:25):
Uh? You could?

Speaker 3 (01:16:27):
I think that was that that would be a soft
spot for a lot of people who have a connection
to the old you know, the old name.

Speaker 1 (01:16:35):
It would be a weird mascot. Would you have like
a pig?

Speaker 2 (01:16:39):
Yeah, red hogs?

Speaker 1 (01:16:42):
All right, like a menacing looking pig, like.

Speaker 2 (01:16:46):
Your own caricature.

Speaker 1 (01:16:48):
Because you have like you have like the so I
guess that. I guess Arkansas is like a hovelina. I
guess not necessarily. So yeah, maybe you can go with Hogs.

Speaker 2 (01:17:00):
I mean, because like you need because here's what you
need to do. If you're Washington What you need to
do is you gotta create. You have to link it
to the past, right, link it to its washed. The
franchise lost its mojo and it lost its history.

Speaker 1 (01:17:22):
Well you can argue I lost this mojo way before
they changed the name.

Speaker 2 (01:17:26):
But yeah, well Dad, you know I agree. I mean,
I'm just saying it just lost everything right now, And
I agree with you. You know, long after the name change,
but long before the name changed, it franchise was horrible,
right like you know, you you haven't been relevant since
the eighties. Let mean you think about it. I know
Shanahan had the cup of coffee and the playoffs and

(01:17:49):
all that stuff, but really the glory you haven't really
since done anything since Gibbs left.

Speaker 1 (01:17:54):
If they won a playoff game, I know they made
it a couple of times.

Speaker 3 (01:17:57):
I know they made it once or twice with Shanahan,
they made they made it once with Gibbs the second
go around with Joe Gibbs.

Speaker 1 (01:18:05):
Maybe they won one playoff game. I think Gibbs may
have won won.

Speaker 2 (01:18:09):
So you got let's look at it. I mean, that's
anz I'm gonna look it up now because that's pretty bad.
So you Oh my god, dude, twenty twenty, they lost
the wild card to Tampa Bay. Twenty fifteen, they lost
the wild card to Green Bay. Twenty twelve, they lost

(01:18:31):
wild card to Seattle. Twenty oh seven, they left. They
lost the wild card to Seattle. Was the last last
win was five? They beat Tampa in the.

Speaker 1 (01:18:49):
Wild card, Okay, and I think that was Gibbs and
they lost to Seattle.

Speaker 2 (01:18:54):
In ninety nine they won, they beat Detroit in the
wild card and they lost the Tampa. I think I
think it was Shannon and five.

Speaker 3 (01:19:06):
H No, I think twelve was Shannonan because that was
RG three. I want to say, oh, five was Jason Campbell,
which I think would have been Joe Gibbs. H.

Speaker 2 (01:19:18):
I mean to go back to the last time they
won two playoff games was nineteen ninety one.

Speaker 1 (01:19:27):
Dude, that's incredible.

Speaker 2 (01:19:30):
That ninety one. Of course they go to the Super
Bowl and they beat the Bills. That's the last time
that they were around. I mean, think about that for
a second.

Speaker 1 (01:19:40):
And this is a marquee franchise, right NFL, A blue
blood franchise. It's sad, man it is.

Speaker 2 (01:19:49):
I mean, if I'm man, might go I go change
the name. I do like the suggestion of the hof

Speaker 1 (01:21:28):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (01:21:29):
You know that's incredible. You go from Philadelphia to the
Jersey Shore basically and it's right to the beach, So
it's a it's a hike to Atlantic City.

Speaker 1 (01:21:40):
Nice.

Speaker 2 (01:21:41):
So it's uh, it's kind of it's a cool thing.
And he does a he does a good job.

Speaker 1 (01:21:46):
He's goes insane shape.

Speaker 2 (01:21:48):
Yeah, he's like he God bless him. He's uh, he's
he's done a great job. To go do it man
for him, that's great.

Speaker 1 (01:21:56):
Yeah, is this an actual race or is it just
like one of.

Speaker 2 (01:21:59):
His Yeah, yeah, you know it's your race. But it's
really like can you do it? You're you're taking Yeah,
it's more like can you get that thing done? You know,
especially you know you hit fifty, you gotta go can
I Can I get it done? So he gets it,
Dune and I know that he was fifty too, by
the way, even more kudos to you.

Speaker 1 (01:22:17):
That's incredible.

Speaker 2 (01:22:18):
Yeah. So he you know, he he turned fifty and
he's like, you know, let me, let me do it.
And then he said he's doing a good job.

Speaker 3 (01:22:24):
So, oh, you know he's gonna leave some like twenty
eight year old in the dust. That's gonna happen. This
kid who was just you know, partying the night before
saying whatever, it's like, oh, I can beat all these
and he'll be huffing and puffing. Who should just be rolling? Yeah,
Bill face, fine brother, Like I need some help, youngster,

(01:22:48):
here's some water. I'll see you at the next turn.

Speaker 2 (01:22:54):
So case you just joined us, lots to do with
talking about We talked a lot about Miami balls a
game six tonight and uh, this is a I keep
going back to it. Man, this is Jimmy time. I
mean that serious. That's it, Jimmy and Spoe. Not for nothing,

(01:23:15):
spose she's a great coach. Yes, they have no business
being here none. No, if they're all the injuries, that
they've had no business being here.

Speaker 3 (01:23:23):
And the fact that they got themselves a three to
nothing lead against Boston, a superior team, is ridiculous. And
like I mean, I mean, the coaching matchup is not
it's it's it's a ginormous mismatch. Joe Mozula might be
a good coach, might end up being a good coach,
but he has not coached a very good playoff run
here for Boston. And to your appoint x Spolstra is

(01:23:44):
considered by many to be the best coach in the NBA.
So this will this will be the true test. Jimmy,
Like I said, I expect Jimmy to show up. I
expect him to ball out and have a big game.
How they choose to defend and look, maybe they know
they can't take Tatum away, and maybe they try to
find some you know, something funky to do with Jalen
Brown and try to take him out of the game.

Speaker 1 (01:24:04):
Because you're to your point, you know.

Speaker 3 (01:24:06):
I mentioned how bam Adebayo's kind of above an X factor,
but when he plays well, Miami wins.

Speaker 1 (01:24:12):
The same thing goes for Boston.

Speaker 3 (01:24:14):
When Jalen Brown, their second best player, goes off, especially
gets off early, that's a good omen for them the
rest of the night. So I wonder what he has
up his sleeve, He being spoe to throw at Jalen
Brown to try to take him out of the game early,
because I think at a certain point, a guy like Tatum,
he might struggle or he might score forty on fifty
two shooting. You know, So those guys you just can't

(01:24:37):
do anything about. But Brown it might be a little
bit easier.

Speaker 2 (01:24:42):
It's interesting to like, I think tonight could be a
Horford night.

Speaker 1 (01:24:48):
Yeah, one of those nights where the old vet does
his thing.

Speaker 2 (01:24:51):
Can you don't see it? Coming. Could it be?

Speaker 1 (01:24:55):
Could it be a Horford? Could be a big ol Night. Look,
it's certainly possible. Yeah, he hasn't really had one of
those games yet that I can even that I can remember.

Speaker 4 (01:25:07):
I know, I know.

Speaker 2 (01:25:08):
I'm thinking about that all right, real quick?

Speaker 4 (01:25:13):
You know me?

Speaker 2 (01:25:13):
Well? So what did I just look up during our
last break and it's his schedule?

Speaker 1 (01:25:30):
I don't know the NFL preseason schedule?

Speaker 2 (01:25:32):
Close? How about weeks zero?

Speaker 4 (01:25:38):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (01:25:39):
Yes, I can't. I'm so looking for it to ball
State versus.

Speaker 2 (01:25:45):
US playing week zero?

Speaker 1 (01:25:47):
Come aware, I'm come well aware.

Speaker 2 (01:25:51):
Weeks zero?

Speaker 1 (01:25:56):
I got it?

Speaker 2 (01:25:57):
Col Man. You don't you tell me you're not looking
forward to week zero.

Speaker 3 (01:26:03):
I'm looking forward to any meaningful football that we can
get to. So yes, I'm absolutely looking forward to it.
There's just typically the week zero matchups are not much
to ride home about.

Speaker 2 (01:26:13):
It doesn't matter. You're in on week zero? Could you
not be?

Speaker 3 (01:26:20):
I mean, sure, I'll watch, but I'm not gonna shatterday.
I'm not tossing Attorney. He's like, oh my god, I
gotta watch you mass to Mexico State. I am yeah,
powered to you. Look at here you got here's your
seven games on week zero.

Speaker 2 (01:26:36):
Are you ready?

Speaker 3 (01:26:37):
Yeah, we're ready for the epic Hawaii Vanderbilt rematch. Was
that eighty five to nothing last year or whatever it was?

Speaker 2 (01:26:43):
Okay, well, do revenge for the Ring Warriors.

Speaker 11 (01:26:47):
Okay, all right, now, USC San Jose State, you mass
New Mexico State.

Speaker 2 (01:26:59):
Like you said, how about a little.

Speaker 5 (01:27:02):
Bopcat action Ohio against the San Diego State Aztecs.

Speaker 2 (01:27:08):
That's a great game.

Speaker 1 (01:27:10):
Great, it's probably the best game on the slate. But
I don't know if I'd say it's great and then too.

Speaker 5 (01:27:15):
Come on, dude, you know you're in on the Irish,
the Irish and night Navy.

Speaker 1 (01:27:22):
And that game is in Dublin.

Speaker 2 (01:27:23):
I think yes, it is in Dublin. Come on, that's awesome.
Navy Notre Dame.

Speaker 3 (01:27:32):
I mean, look from a name standpoint, but from a
matchup standpoint, what is Notre Dame is a twenty point
favorite in that game?

Speaker 2 (01:27:41):
Yeah, it's great. Listen just to watch.

Speaker 1 (01:27:44):
You never know early on, well, if you name the
option true, the option can come up and bite some people.

Speaker 2 (01:27:52):
The MIDI surly you don't know that. Come on, never
count out the middies.

Speaker 1 (01:27:58):
Yeah, I'm not very optimistic about about Navy in that game.

Speaker 5 (01:28:03):
To be honest with you, I might say they're gonna
win the game, but maybe they give the Irish a
sweat over in Dublin.

Speaker 1 (01:28:12):
That would actually would love to go to that game?
Be pretty sweet?

Speaker 2 (01:28:17):
Would that be a fun game to go?

Speaker 1 (01:28:18):
Pretty sweet? I won't lie.

Speaker 2 (01:28:22):
And then but here's the here's what I love about
it is that it's still it's August twenty six. And
then you got you know, that's the that's the start
of the season. Then the Thursday, that Thursday is the
big first kind of foray into the games. You know,
although this Thursday, these Thursday games don't look that appetizing.

(01:28:47):
Florida Utah is a good game, though, dude, that's a
good game. Sure, absolutely, Nebraska.

Speaker 5 (01:28:52):
Maddie, I got Maddie rule. Nebraska Minnesota Oscars Thursday game.

Speaker 3 (01:29:03):
Yeah, there's a lot of I feel like there's games.
There's a slate of games on August thirtieth, which is
interesting because that's a Wednesday. So I'm like, what am
I missing on a Wednesday in August that they have
that is like a full slate of games.

Speaker 2 (01:29:17):
Wait a second, I don't see this. If I'm looking
at this correctly, see I only have August twenty eighth,
and then I go right to August thirty.

Speaker 3 (01:29:26):
First, I got Friday, August twenty fifth. That's why vany
San Jose State USC that Navy.

Speaker 1 (01:29:33):
Notre Dame.

Speaker 2 (01:29:34):
That's Saturday, all right.

Speaker 1 (01:29:36):
Then maybe my dates are off thin.

Speaker 2 (01:29:39):
Yeah Thursday, Your Wednesday is really Thursday?

Speaker 1 (01:29:42):
Got you okay?

Speaker 2 (01:29:43):
And that's the brass com minute. Say you're looking at Nebraska, Minnesota, Florida, Utah. Correct, Yes, yeah,
that's Thursday.

Speaker 4 (01:29:49):
All right.

Speaker 1 (01:29:50):
Maybe my timing is as correct.

Speaker 2 (01:29:51):
And that's actually not big because it's Kent State us UC.
So you get Central Florida. And then there's a games.
There was a handful of games the Friday September one, Stanford, Hawaii,
Michigan State, Central Michigan. And then there's the big Saturday.

(01:30:14):
It's really the Labor Day weekend. Listen, you know the
summer's Memorial Day to Labor Day, right, So absolutely, you
know you got you know the back end September second,
and here's your notable games. You're ready, yes, on that Saturday?

Speaker 1 (01:30:30):
Tell me which ones are notable? Please?

Speaker 2 (01:30:34):
Come on, man, how could you not look for if
I could press? I made a deal the other day
because they because everybody loves summer. I get it, summer
sun listened. I mean, you know, I understand it. But
I made a deal the other day that I said,
I don't want to wish away my life, right, so
I don't want to press the fast forward button. However,

(01:30:56):
if I could stack the time and put it to
the end of the year of my life, I mean, like,
so you take this time and from now until Labor
Day and you stack it at the end of your
life so they don't lose it. Yeah, I would hit
the fast forward butt right through summer to get to football. Okay,

(01:31:20):
would you do that?

Speaker 4 (01:31:21):
No?

Speaker 1 (01:31:21):
As much as I love football, I would absolutely not
do that. I love the summer.

Speaker 2 (01:31:26):
South Carolina, North Carolina, all that stuff. Virginia, Tennessee, Washington State,
Colorado State. How about you see La Coastal Come on.

Speaker 1 (01:31:41):
Fake, come on? What do I think.

Speaker 2 (01:31:48):
You what Coastal go to cover?

Speaker 1 (01:31:51):
What do you think the line is for coach sporteen
and a half? Yeah where, Yes, that's a Coastal live
and Coastal Coastals had a good run the last couple
of years. Yeah, the UCLA is gonna mop the four
with him.

Speaker 3 (01:32:03):
I feel confident in saying that right now in May,
not even knowing who the UCLA quarterback is going to be.

Speaker 2 (01:32:09):
By the way, well you're buying the chip into the chip.

Speaker 1 (01:32:14):
Yeah, they turned the corner you think so?

Speaker 5 (01:32:19):
Oh, Saturday Night West Virginia Penn State, Colorado TCU, that's it.

Speaker 2 (01:32:26):
A good games.

Speaker 3 (01:32:28):
Colorado tc is intriguing because of the Dion Fra coach
Prime Yeah cool, we don't love coach Prime Bill. He
has to his set of detractors or haters or whatever
you want to call them.

Speaker 2 (01:32:40):
Yeah, they hate. And then Sunday LSU Florida State.

Speaker 3 (01:32:47):
I wasn't epic game last year. That was an epic
game that came down to the finish and at that
the very end in overtime. So I'll give it that.

Speaker 2 (01:32:58):
Now my only beef, I got one beef, only one
because LSU is gonna be good, but I only on
one beef. Yeah. The Monday night Labor Day Night game,
which is always a big deal because it's a solo game. Yeah,
usually Clemson Duke. Yeah you can't go Duke signed up

(01:33:19):
for that Labor Day Night. Who made that schedule?

Speaker 1 (01:33:25):
I don't know if they had to deal with what
they have to be a CC schools or something and
you can't go.

Speaker 2 (01:33:32):
That's terrible.

Speaker 1 (01:33:34):
And it's at Duke at that Yeah, happened in Death Valley.

Speaker 2 (01:33:39):
I mean you usually that that Monday Labor Day night
game is a big game.

Speaker 1 (01:33:47):
Well last year the l s U Florida State was
a Labor Day game.

Speaker 2 (01:33:50):
Yeah, Now it's the Sunday night one.

Speaker 1 (01:33:52):
That's weird. Come on, that's a violation.

Speaker 2 (01:33:56):
You gotta end the weekend on a great game.

Speaker 4 (01:33:59):
I kid.

Speaker 3 (01:34:00):
My only guess is ESPN or ABC or whoever has
it has some sort of contractual thing with the ACC
and they had to rotate.

Speaker 1 (01:34:08):
And because otherwise it makes no sense. I have to
believe that this is some sort of contractual reasoning as
to why they did this.

Speaker 2 (01:34:15):
Yeah, that's your violation. You gotta tell you.

Speaker 1 (01:34:17):
But I'm gonna you're gonna watch it, right, just like
you told me? Yes? Yes, yeah, so, I mean you're
gonna watch regardless college football.

Speaker 3 (01:34:28):
It's like somebody told me when I complained about the
Detroit Lions being on open to Night for the NFL.
So as much as I complained about it, I didn't
say I wouldn't watch. I just said there are teams
I'd rather watch, but I'll still watch them.

Speaker 2 (01:34:39):
Yeah, you definitely, well, you gotta watch that.

Speaker 1 (01:34:44):
I'll watched it for having until they're down thirty.

Speaker 3 (01:34:51):
Football football Adolph Jared Grof throws one of his six
interceptions in the first half.

Speaker 1 (01:34:56):
Yeah, dude, how bet are they going to be Allions?

Speaker 3 (01:35:02):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:35:02):
No, no, no, no, no, no, no no no. I
figured the Rams on the brain.

Speaker 1 (01:35:06):
Oh sorry, I was. The Lions will be pretty solid
this year. Yeah, I agree, Rams will be bad. Yes,
they they are an identity crisis at the moment.

Speaker 3 (01:35:14):
They they should have sold, they should have traded Aaron Donald,
maybe Cooper Cup although he's still young.

Speaker 1 (01:35:21):
But they're in no man's land.

Speaker 3 (01:35:22):
I don't think they're bad enough to be in the
Caleb Williams sweepstakes, but they're definitely not good enough to
compete for a playoff spot.

Speaker 1 (01:35:28):
So I think the over under for them, I think
is six and a half and I think.

Speaker 2 (01:35:33):
That's probably that I would have. I would have went
all in on a tank.

Speaker 3 (01:35:36):
Yeah, I would have just punted, you know, But again,
that's hard to do with Matthew Stafford. They gave him
that extension, they have to pay him a crap ton
of money, which I think will be spread over two
years if they cut him loose. So the problem is,
had they not signed them to an extension, they could
have made the divorce a lot easier and started to rebuild.
So now, unfortunately, you have a chance to be able

(01:35:58):
to take the hometown kid with the first we're all
picking the draft. But you're not bad enough, and you
easily could have made yourself bad enough, but you put
yourself in salary cap Hill.

Speaker 2 (01:36:08):
Well, I got I'm completely with you, completely with you.
All right, We're gonna take a quick t oh. I
gotta tell you. I mean, you gotta be getting in
football mode.

Speaker 1 (01:36:19):
Man, You're welcome.

Speaker 2 (01:36:22):
I'm in football. I can't wait, Man, I can't wait.
Football mode it is, baby. So I want to ask
you about some of the rule changes coming up and
what you think we'll discuss. We gotta do. We gotta
talk a little football man. It's the beginning of this summer.
At least we got through the spring. We're almost there, baby.

(01:36:48):
Sometimes I think, man, I'm really an idiot. Uh, we
are with the fell me you Kevin figures of Anthony.
I gotta fellas right here on Fox Sports Radio. Ah,
welcome back, on this Memorial Day weekend Saturday fellas Kevin

(01:37:18):
figures come then you go again. I've got our man,
mighty Mark and of course the big e hanging out
fellas are brought to you by Discoverer. Yes, at the
end of your first year, Discover credit cards automatically double
the catch back you've earned. That's right, everything you've earned doubled.

(01:37:40):
Seriously see terms. Check it out for yourself at discover
dot com. Slash match al right, fig couple things. One,
I got a Lord Patrick Mahomes and I mean you
you said something to me and I sold this. There's

(01:38:01):
something about my homes that he basically said is on
the field legacy is more important than being the highest
paid quarterback. Like that to me is just ultimate. Like
he knows he's he's got the money, he's got money,
he's got full the great endorsements. It's the Brady thing
right where they go, I'm going to be able to

(01:38:22):
make all that money. So if I take a little
less and not take all the money from the team,
it's an investment in myself.

Speaker 3 (01:38:30):
Yeah, and an investment in myself and my career in
that I'll have a better opportunity to win if the
team has more money to bring more resources and not
have to spend it all on me. It's one of
the great quotes, and I'm so happy that he said
that because that's unfortunately not the mentality of most major athletes.

(01:38:51):
Like look quarterbacks in particular, Lamar Jackson just had a
giant back and forth with the Ravens all off season.
Aaron Rodgers through his career, and all of Aaron Rodgers
think he's, you know, in the running for a best
quarterback all the time. But I mean he hurt himself
because for years he had to.

Speaker 1 (01:39:06):
He was the best, the highest paid quarterback in the
NFL in Green Bay already a small market that doesn't
have a lot of capital, and you were hamstringing them
even more. Like I Lawd Brady, I'm one of his
biggest critics. He was a great players, all of famer obviously,
but one thing I would never say is that he
wasn't a great leader.

Speaker 3 (01:39:21):
That he didn't sacrifice. And I think that's as big
of a reason as any that he has so much
success because he was willing to sacrifice. And Pat Mahomes,
look how successful he's already been. I mean, the chief
has been gone to the AMC Championship Game. Literally every
year he's been in been a starter. That's remarkable. And
he could very easily demand more money. See you Lamar got, See.

Speaker 1 (01:39:42):
What Kyler Murray got, See who Rudge Ever, Joe Burrow
is gonna get and to get more and more and more.

Speaker 3 (01:39:47):
But he said that's not what's important to him. He
wants to be able to win, the idea, to be
able to stop and say enough is enough. I signed
a five hundred million dollar contract. However, the deferments work
or it's not actually all money, whatever you want to
call it.

Speaker 1 (01:40:01):
To your point, and he's getting paid. He's fine. If
he decided to retire tomorrow, he'd be fine. He's set
for life. He has generational wealth. Now it's about his
legacy playing career on the field. He wants to be
one of the best players, one of the best quarterbacks
of all time, one of the greatest winners of all time,
and that the way to do that is to make
sure you have a good team around you, and the
way to do that is to not eat up all

(01:40:23):
the money. So I I'm with you. I give all
the kudos in the world to Patrick Mahomes. For saying that.

Speaker 2 (01:40:28):
And you could make the argument too that we love
it because we're competitive junkies, like we love competitors, so
you know, we love Mahomes for that. But you could
also make the argument that it's a great business move
because if you think about it, if I take twenty

(01:40:49):
five percent less, all right, so I'm investing just say
it's twenty five percent. I'm investing twenty five percent into
my team. So being the quarterback of my team, if
I'm a great quarterback and a great player, and I

(01:41:10):
know that I've taken less twenty five percent less to
invest back in my team, Now, all of a sudden,
I'm going to be playing on Sunday night. I'm going
to be playing on Monday night. I'm going to be
one of the faces of the league. And therefore that
twenty five percent I invested, I could quadruple in endorsements.

Speaker 1 (01:41:32):
Yep, no doubt.

Speaker 2 (01:41:36):
You know that I already make it up with one
State Farm.

Speaker 3 (01:41:41):
Yeah, and that one State Farm was seeing every commercial
break for every game, right, so that just doubles.

Speaker 1 (01:41:47):
It just builds and built on top of itself.

Speaker 2 (01:41:50):
And then after that it's every other you know, and
there's a million. You know, you look at him like
when you're a good when you're and you know, he's
got a good personality. Patrick Mahomes. And if you just
have a little bit of that stuff, your your goal.

Speaker 3 (01:42:05):
Now, Hey's self deprecating, which always helps when you're especially
when you're an athlete that great.

Speaker 1 (01:42:10):
Like it's it's it's very tough for me to uh to.

Speaker 3 (01:42:14):
Fawn over a Kansas City chief as I warned my
silver and black colors over here.

Speaker 1 (01:42:18):
I mean it's well, I mean, look, you gotta give
credit words due. Yeah, dude, you really do. It's incredible.

Speaker 2 (01:42:27):
But that's to me a winner, Like it's smart. You're
just investing in your team, which is really investing yourself.
You're the quarterback, Like what do you like? Yeah, it's
great that you get all the money, but then then
you stink, right at some point you just can't. You know,
there's a reason why people win on your rookie deals,
Like that's what happens.

Speaker 3 (01:42:47):
Yeah, And for the argument of you know, someone said, well,
don't give the team a discount, because yeah, you might
take twenty five percent less, but who's to say they're
going to use that twenty five percent smartly? It's like, well,
if you don't trust the organization, then maybe you shouldn't
be there. Maybe you shouldn't trust yourself. And look, I
know early on in your career you have no choice
over that, but I mean, if you don't trust the

(01:43:07):
organization to put pieces around you to win, then maybe
you should question whether you should play for that organization.
And obviously Patrick Mahomes has all the trust in the
world and Andy Reid and Brett veg and rightfully, so yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:43:19):
Now that listen, that blueprint is the way you do.
It's the way you win, you know, from Andy on
down when Andy's done and you know, having Spags do
the defense and having his guy, Brett Veach, I mean, like,
you know, it just it's he's got it down there
with science. Man, it's pretty cool, it is. Uh. Jomie

(01:43:39):
favorite hit me with some trending. And then I got
to ask you about the Raiders and what's going on
with the Raiders and DeVante Adams.

Speaker 3 (01:43:49):
Interesting question. Well we'll get to that in the second.
First we'll go back to Friday night. What's in baseball?
Pittsburgh lighting up the scoreboards seven home runs. They beat
Seattle eleven to six home runs there for Brian Reynolds
and Andrew McCutcheon. Chris Sale picks up win number five
of the season, Red Sox picking up a seven to
two win over Arizona. A home run from Jorge Silaire

(01:44:10):
leading the Marlins to a six to two victory over
the Angels in Anaheim. Houston's won nine of their last eleven.
They beat Oakland five to two. It was the Mets
five and the Rockies two. Francisco Lindor with a home
run Craig Kimbrol picking up career saved number four hundred
as the Phillies beat Atlanta. The Giants scored seven runs
in the third inning on their way to a fifteen
to one demolition of Milwaukee. Padres handed the Yankees their

(01:44:33):
thirsd straight loss as Juan Soda or Fernando Tatis Junior
both hit two run home runs. Corey Seagery Grand Slam
for the Rangers, they beat Baltimore twelve to two. You
had victories for Toronto, Cleveland and Tampa Bay, who beat
the Dodgers nine to three, and news out of the NFL.
The Arizona Cardos released Pro Bowl receiver DeAndre Hopkins back
to the fellas.

Speaker 2 (01:44:54):
We are the fellas, come me alive from that's right,
Thetirat dot Com, the studios. He's Kevin Figures. I'm Anthony Gargano.
We got a boy's Mighty Mark. And of course the
biggie biggie you're sleeping. You're good right here, right here.
I know you are, Mighty Mark hanging out. Yeah, what's

(01:45:18):
Muddy Mark telling you about old Chicago days? Yeah, give
you a little deep dish action. Money.

Speaker 7 (01:45:24):
Mark's got some strong legs. He stands for eight hours straight. Nice,
How crazy is that?

Speaker 2 (01:45:32):
But but you could tell, Buddy Mark's a warrior.

Speaker 7 (01:45:34):
Honey, Mark is the best, strong legs, Mighty Marks.

Speaker 1 (01:45:42):
Trying to stay on my toes. We got you go, buddy, boy,
Hey Mark, I feel you man like you work in
this industry. You're sitting. You're sitting in your backside for
a long period of time. Not the most comfortable.

Speaker 7 (01:45:53):
You get a little stiff Yeah, I'm stiffer now.

Speaker 1 (01:45:56):
Yeah. So the standing desk situation is always optimal whenever
you can take advantage of it. So I got you Mark.

Speaker 2 (01:46:03):
There you go, buddy, there you go? So fake? What's
going on with Davante Adams? Your voice let me ask
you are you Are you luke warm on McDaniels. Yeah,
I don't know how you could not be.

Speaker 3 (01:46:20):
I like either, I don't know if anybody's like super
gung ho over nobody other than Mark Davis. You either
really hate him or you're like, h give him a
second shot. See what happens here.

Speaker 4 (01:46:29):
You know.

Speaker 1 (01:46:30):
So I fall into that category. You know, let's see
what he can do.

Speaker 3 (01:46:34):
But you know, I certainly understand Devonte Adams' issues with
where the team was going. They didn't make a lot
of big splashes this offseason, safe for letting Derek Carr
go and signing Jimmy g And of course you have
the piece that was written and he was quoted saying,
you know, the philosophically, the team is going in a
different direction than where he wants it to. I'm paraphrasing,

(01:46:56):
but and he kind of took shots at the way
they play Jimmy Garoppolo. Look, we know Jimmy Garoppol is
not going to drop back forty times and throw the ball.
That when he's most effective is when he's, for lack
of a better term, a caretaker. You know, if he's
throwing the ball more than fifteen twenty times a game.
Then usually that's a problem, and DeVante Adams knows that.
So he went from playing from playing with a guy

(01:47:17):
who he's known for fifteen years and Derek Carr so
now a giant unknown and oh, by the way, a
guy who's always hurt and is hurt now they find
out he has to have foot surgery and it's probably
gonna miss the start of training camp. I don't think
it's it's not like it's fences that can't be mended,
but I certainly understand. I think Josh mc daniels I thought,
was honest about it too when he talked to the

(01:47:38):
media about it earlier this week. He's like, look, Davante
is in a win now mode. He's kind of on
the back end of the prime years of his career.
Every year is a championship, you know, chase for him.
And I think, if we're all being honest, we know
the Raiders are not a championship contender at this moment
in time. So, but I think Josh mcdana's also said, like,
you know, the player's vision is not always going to

(01:47:59):
be the same as the coach's vision, but we encourage
him to speak his mind. So I certainly is not
the recipe for the most harmonious locker room situation.

Speaker 1 (01:48:10):
But look, it wouldn't be the Raiders if it wasn't drama.

Speaker 2 (01:48:12):
Right. So here's my question to you, because I was
thinking about you the other day, she said, I was
thinking about you with the Brady deal, and now you
know he's got a piece of the Raiders now and
I'm thinking about you, and I'm going in Lincoln and
I'm going So the Raiders Vegas McDaniel's Brady is your

(01:48:38):
part owner. Do they feel still like do they still
feel like your team? Oh?

Speaker 1 (01:48:44):
They do still sober and blakets. I don't. It doesn't
feel any different to me.

Speaker 4 (01:48:49):
No, no, no.

Speaker 2 (01:48:53):
I was wondering because you know, the whole, the whole
Vegas Raiders thing, like you had to get used to that,
and it's it's it changed the vibe of the team.

Speaker 1 (01:49:05):
It's interesting because for to a certain degree, I don't
think it did. I feel like Las Vegas is a
squad Like for me, I was like, I mean, if
there was a NFL team to go to Vegas, wouldn't
the Raiders be the ones?

Speaker 2 (01:49:17):
You know?

Speaker 3 (01:49:19):
Like I mean, if there's a team that's gonna you know,
the city that never sleeps and whatever else do you
want to call all the like all that stuff kind
of something fits the image about the Raiders, you know,
you know, you don't disagree.

Speaker 2 (01:49:31):
Like, oh, Clinton, Vegas, I still see Wayne Newton, like
you know what I mean? Like you still go?

Speaker 4 (01:49:41):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:49:41):
I feel like Vegas it has its law, it has
its glitz and glamour part, but it has its outlaw party.

Speaker 2 (01:49:50):
Do you know what it is?

Speaker 1 (01:49:51):
It meets to La Raiders and the Oakland Raiders in
the middle.

Speaker 2 (01:49:54):
There you go. That's pretty good for you. Actually, you
know what, that's a great way to look at it.
All right, So you tackled that question. Brady, he's your
part owner, your squad, Brady Chuck Rule Brady, Like, sure,
how could like I think about Lincoln and go Brady,
Tom Brady, he's part owner of the Raiders.

Speaker 1 (01:50:18):
Yeah, I mean, and I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:50:23):
That's like the devil buying a like beachfront property in Heaven.

Speaker 1 (01:50:29):
Yeah, pretty close to it.

Speaker 2 (01:50:32):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:50:33):
As we've gotten further away from the Tuck Rule, my
animus towards Tom Brady from that level has kind of
waned over the years. So him being in charge or
whatever role he's gonna have, he's not in chargement. I
think he's just a minority owner. But I know there
are some who believe he has designs of being a
prominent part of a front office.

Speaker 1 (01:50:52):
And look, if you're gonna work as hard as he
does and prepare the way that he does, if he
has designs at doing it, I'm on board. Yeah, you
bother me, I got got you what I mean? You know,
I mean, with one thing we know about Tom is
Tom's a winner. Yeah, jam is a winner.

Speaker 3 (01:51:09):
It was like, look, I don't want to go way
too far back here, but I mean one of the
great architects of the Showtime Lakers, along with Jerry West,
was Bill Sharmon. And Bill Sharmon was a was a
really good player for the Boston Celtics that beat Jerry
West and the Lakers year.

Speaker 1 (01:51:23):
A year after year.

Speaker 3 (01:51:24):
So it doesn't matter how you win, It just matters
that you win. Point if the point if I have
to poach Darth Vader from the from the Evil Empire and.

Speaker 2 (01:51:34):
Bring them, believe that, you know, talk about full circle. Yeah,
I mean you're going to go back to it go
all ended with the Chuck rule. Like the whole franchise
died that day.

Speaker 3 (01:51:46):
Well it really died in San Diego when Darry Brooks
picked off rich Gannon for the nineteenth time in that
Super Bowl that.

Speaker 1 (01:51:52):
Lincoln played in, right, but well there was some issues
there too. Yeah, that was that was not that was
not good. Well you have to bear at Robins thing
and all that. But yeah, two thousand and two, that
was the last year that like the Raiders won a
playoff game. Mm, Lincoln was still playing. You know who's
said the other part said, I think about the A's. Yeah,

(01:52:15):
the A's moving awful to Vegas too, Like I don't know,
there's gonna just be a giant I mean, someone say
there's a giant hole there anyway at the moment. But
still more like literally the coliseum will be totally vacant.
Warriors are gone to San Francisco and now the Raiders

(01:52:35):
and As both moving to Vegas, and I feel the
city of Oakland.

Speaker 2 (01:52:41):
It's funny Mark who was talking about he was he
brought up some many old A's who's talking sou Bando,
Reggie Jackson. You know you got the Bash Brothers back
in the day. Ah, then of course it's it just
it doesn't feel right.

Speaker 1 (01:53:00):
Yeah, there's a proud franchise that has a great history
to it. The probably is is a generation. I hate
when they move. I hate when teams move, Like listen,
I think Vegas is is a burgeoning market. It deserves
a team. But I just hate when franchises move.

Speaker 3 (01:53:15):
I agree, because especially they become like giant parts of
the fabric of the community, especially if you've been there
for any you know, number of years. Like look, even
San Diego, like San Diego is still smarting after losing
the Chargers, and people say, well, it's the difference between
La and San Diego. People that live in southern California
will tell you a lot, especially people that live in

(01:53:37):
San Diego. So, uh, there's still a ripple effects being
felt down there, you know.

Speaker 2 (01:53:43):
Yeah. I always thought that was a mistake or the
league perspective, like, you can't you can't let them lose
a franchise. I know you were, you were looking for
another tenant in LA, but you can't. Look, you can't
lose it. You can't lose them another franchise.

Speaker 1 (01:53:58):
Yeah, it was bad, Yeah, it was terrible.

Speaker 2 (01:54:02):
It is it's like, that's awful stuff, and it happened
in Baltimore and in Cleveland, and it's just, you know,
like that should never ever there. There's too much. There's
too much. It means too much to the to the.

Speaker 3 (01:54:20):
Region, like unless it doesn't and people just aren't showing up,
and there's you know, you know, issues like that.

Speaker 1 (01:54:28):
But generally speaking, when these teams are gonna it's rare stadium.

Speaker 3 (01:54:32):
And yeah, the stadium is like, look, the I think
the city of Oakland and the county, Alameda County kind
of got in its own way and I think they
kind of ran the Raiders and the A's, although Mark
Davis says the A's ran the Raiders out, so and
now the A's are saying partially the city ran them out.

Speaker 1 (01:54:49):
So Mark Davis is not.

Speaker 3 (01:54:50):
A fan of the ownership group in Oakland because they're
being so rigid about making renovations or not making renovations
to the coliseum. So that's gonna be interesting that they're
gonna have to be you know, you know, stablemates now
in Los Angeles.

Speaker 2 (01:55:04):
That's right, all right, Well, coming up, I gotta I
gotta bring something up all of that, and it comes
from ted Lasso, And this is a big weekend for
TV because here's a couple series that are ending. Oh

(01:55:25):
and I want to pick your brain on that too.
Where the Fellas on this Memorial Day weekend right here
on Fox Sports Radio. Ah, welcome back Fellas on this
Memorial Day weekend Saturday. As we hang out, so fig

(01:55:48):
ted Lasso, do you watch it? Did I?

Speaker 1 (01:55:51):
I went the first? Let me start there, I do. Yeah,
I love it.

Speaker 2 (01:55:55):
Do you love it?

Speaker 1 (01:55:56):
It's great?

Speaker 4 (01:55:57):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (01:55:58):
Absolutely, And it's coming to which makes me sad. Anytime
there's a series that comes to an end, you know,
you invested in the characters, you feel like they're friends,
that you get to know the characters. So when it's over,
it's like it's it's like that's it's Oh, the story's over.
The character perishes. It just no more ceases to exist.

Speaker 8 (01:56:18):
Right.

Speaker 3 (01:56:18):
It's tough, especially someone like something like this that's been
as complex and broked in so many characters and so
many backstories and so many side stories that are all
equally compelling.

Speaker 1 (01:56:30):
Yes, it's a very well done show.

Speaker 2 (01:56:32):
They really and well puayed and I want to play
this for you all right because I thought it was poignant.
We talk about this city of Oakland. Well, in this
one of the most recent episodes, they were talking like
in real life, about having a super league, putting together

(01:56:52):
a super league. All the great franchises would come together
to create this super league and it would do it
really hurt the sport. It hurt a lot of the
ancillary teams. So our main character who owns our main
team is a woman named The character's name is Rebecca Walton,

(01:57:13):
and she gives a speech to all the men who
were trying to create this super league, and it was
so poignant.

Speaker 3 (01:57:20):
Fig I don't know if you remember it. I remember
her vividly. She envisioned all the men as little boys,
and I got her all the gumption to be able
to have that tell say that speech spot on.

Speaker 2 (01:57:32):
I thought it would be important. I played the speech
on my local show. I fell in love with it.
Take a listen to this.

Speaker 7 (01:57:41):
Is this a joke?

Speaker 2 (01:57:43):
Excuse me?

Speaker 9 (01:57:45):
What do you think you're doing to stop it?

Speaker 1 (01:57:48):
I mean, how much more money do any of you
really need?

Speaker 9 (01:57:52):
Why would you ever consider taking something.

Speaker 1 (01:57:54):
Away from people that.

Speaker 2 (01:57:55):
Mean so much to them.

Speaker 1 (01:57:58):
She's a game.

Speaker 9 (01:58:00):
Football isn't just a game. It's one of those amazing
things in life that can make you feel one moment
and then like it's Christmas morning the next. It has
the ability to make heroes and villains out of ordinary men.

Speaker 1 (01:58:17):
People love this game.

Speaker 7 (01:58:20):
My father loved this game. You all used to love
this game.

Speaker 1 (01:58:26):
I'm sure of it.

Speaker 9 (01:58:28):
I knew this little boy, working class from Richmond. He
loved Footbaold so much he used to sneak into the
matches because his family just couldn't afford the tickets. In
one afternoon, finally got caught and the security guard smacked

(01:58:51):
him around the face, knocked him on the ground. But
that little boy stood up, smiled, kicked the security guard
in the ws, and ran away. Just because we own
these teams doesn't mean they belong to us. And I
don't want to be part of something that could possibly
destroy this beautiful game, because I would hate for all

(01:59:16):
those little kids and grown ups out there to ever
lose access to that beautiful, passionate part of themselves.

Speaker 2 (01:59:27):
Now, how amazing is that speech?

Speaker 1 (01:59:32):
How pretty nice?

Speaker 4 (01:59:34):
Right?

Speaker 1 (01:59:35):
Absolutely?

Speaker 2 (01:59:35):
How it's just incredibly poignant. So sit with it for
a second and then we're gonna come back and talk
about it, fellas on Fox. Good Good morning, everybody, happy Saturday,
Happy Memorial Day weekend. Hopefully you're doing something fun like

(02:00:00):
we talk about all morning. It's a Memorial Day weekend,
and please please just salute our heroes who have served,
who have lost their lives fighting for this country, fighting
for our freedoms, to have a cookout, go to the beach,
have a bike ride, do all that stuff. He's Kevin Figures,

(02:00:23):
I'm Anthony Arganu together with a fellas right here from
the tire rack dot Com studios. That's right, tyrac dot
com going to help you get there. And on Matt Selection,
fast free shopping, free roadhazard production, over ten thousand recommended installings.
Ty rack dot com the way tire buying should be.

(02:00:44):
All right, when we last left you, alright, we played
you a little speech from the show ted Lasso, which
is about to end. And it's a shame because ted Lasso,
which was three incredible seas, is going to leave us.
And it's the story of the American coach who you know,

(02:01:08):
was kind of a joke and goes over to coach
soccer who's a football college football coach. He goes over
to coach soccer in the EPL and it's originally done
to kind of ruin the franchise, and he turns out
to be this incredible figure and it's a beautiful show.
The messaging is amazing, the writing is incredible. It's just

(02:01:31):
a one of them. I just highly recommend it, and
I know fake he feels the same way. So we
played you this cut though, and what you heard was
the owner of Richmond, which is the EPL team, and
you heard her talk about the love of sport, and

(02:01:53):
she was admonishing the other owners who were trying to
create a super league, trying to take all the money
and in creating this super league will have done it
is it would devalue all the other leagues. They want
to do it all through Europe and Paris and Jermaine
and then you know the AC Milan and you know Napoli,

(02:02:18):
and you know all your premier leagues, Man City, Man,
you you know all that stuff, and then they would
create this super league and next thing, you know, all
the other leagues kind of fall by the wayside. And
so she gives this speech, and every sports owner should

(02:02:44):
hear this, every sports executive should hear that, because it
should it should kind of reach back into the pit
of their soul. As to why they do what they
do because we all fell in love with it. Whoever
owns teams now they love it. They at one point

(02:03:05):
they love sports. If you're a team executive, you at
one point love sports. And all the ownership is and
all the front office is is a steward. All it
is is just it's a sit these teams to me
or civic entities, and they're just run right now by

(02:03:29):
the people who owned them, because there is nothing like it.
There's nothing like you want to talk about our football
or baseball, basketball or hockey, whatever, but our football and
how it can make men into heroes and villains and
it does make you feel terrible one day, but uplifts

(02:03:51):
you the next like it's Christmas morning, like our fictitious owner,
Rebecca said, figuring that's the essences sport. It needs too
much to our society.

Speaker 3 (02:04:05):
Which is why we go back to the previous discussion
we were having about relocation and how unfair it is
to the whole markets and losing teams who are fabrics
of communities. And nine times out of ten it's because
the owner sees a greater the the or the league
as a whole sees a financial gain, and that's that's

(02:04:26):
what they all do. They all chase the money. And
it's not just leagues, it's just it's businesses in general.
The bottom line like trumps everything. But I feel like
it should be different in sports. It really should. And look,
there's something that we said for if you have incompetent
management and all that. But look, even teams that aren't
well run, look out, look at fans turnout. Look at
like how bad the Browns have been for so long,

(02:04:46):
and outside of a handful of times, that place is generally,
if not sold out, pretty damn close to it, regardless
of how good are bad they are, because they.

Speaker 1 (02:04:54):
That's part of the community. You go watch the Browns,
that's what they do.

Speaker 2 (02:05:00):
It connects us, It connects all of us in the
most organic way.

Speaker 1 (02:05:06):
Now, I will say.

Speaker 3 (02:05:08):
With the speech in talking about the super League, which
of course we were on the verge of actually having
in real life, which is why they did put the
storyline into it. Less, So what makes the pending super
league or the threat of a super league any different
than what's happening right now?

Speaker 1 (02:05:24):
In college football?

Speaker 3 (02:05:29):
We're gonna basically have two or three super conferences, and
all of these other smaller schools are being left by
the wayside in Sorry Arizona State, Sorry Washington State.

Speaker 1 (02:05:39):
I know you love your school or you love your
football program, but we don't care because there's no money.

Speaker 2 (02:05:46):
Well, there is money. They're not going to go away.

Speaker 1 (02:05:50):
Oh I mean well, I mean, look, lower level soccer
teams wouldn't have gone away, but it certainly would have
meant less revenues would have been less, fewer eyeballs because
fewer people would have cared less visibility. I mean, I
think there's a direct parallel. What's how is it different?

Speaker 2 (02:06:06):
It's a great I haven't thought about that. It's that's
a great thing that you bring up. Let me let
me digest a little bit, all right.

Speaker 3 (02:06:14):
And I only bring it up because because you, I know,
you were one of the biggest people championing you know,
they expanded playing.

Speaker 2 (02:06:21):
With And here's why I think it's different. I think
it's different than that. Now again, I you know, poke holes,
it please be my guess. You're you're still playing at
a high level. You're just not going to be in
the level of a championship, which you're not now anyway,

(02:06:43):
I'm like, like this Arizona State, you bring up Arizona State.
What's going to be different for Arizona State if they
play in another conference that's not a heavy, big tiered conference.

Speaker 3 (02:06:56):
The chance, the ability or the opportunity to maybe have
that happen, well, it was never happened. Who was the
I can I remember the name of the whereas where
Psycho Chris when you need them? The team that had
been relegated for like twenty years, they made it up
into the Premier League and had the best record and had.

Speaker 2 (02:07:13):
A phenomenala Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:07:15):
Oh look we're telling this is a once in a
generation thing that happens, but it can happen. Yeah, I
mean it's like, what's the I mean, but you tell
me what the difference is between that and a lower
level Premier League team? Oh?

Speaker 2 (02:07:28):
I think you you're cutting out, you know, the Premier
the heart of the Premier League, like the Premier League
is not going to exist anymore.

Speaker 1 (02:07:38):
Yeah, So how is that different than the Pac twelve
or the Big twelve or any other.

Speaker 2 (02:07:42):
Because college football is because there's a zillion college football
teams and Arizona State is not competing now anyway, but
nor would they ever compete like let's not.

Speaker 1 (02:07:51):
I just use the mess of the president example. There
are teams that never compete in the in the Premier
League either or I should I should say in many
of these other international teams, you know.

Speaker 2 (02:07:59):
I mean Napoli just won in Siri A yeah, and
they were never they compete. The life start the competed
was in the eighties with Maredona.

Speaker 3 (02:08:09):
So for the people that have been Syria fans for
all this, all this time, that means nothing like they
they would never have the opportunity to even feel what
they're feeling now by being able to win I you know, well.

Speaker 2 (02:08:22):
To me, it's different because winning the PAC twelve is
not the same as winning the Premier League.

Speaker 3 (02:08:29):
No, but if you have a good enough season, winning
the PAC twelve is good enough to be able to
get you into the playoff or get you into an
opportunity to compete for a national champion.

Speaker 2 (02:08:40):
I think I think the college system is just too
vast to compare it. Soccer is fast, so many times,
so many leagues. Right, But again, pack it's not like
the Premier League is the Premier League. You win the
Premier League, that's a big deal. You can't compare the
Premier League to the Pack twelve.

Speaker 1 (02:08:58):
Earn your way into the Premier League, which I understand.

Speaker 2 (02:09:01):
But you can't compare that to the PAC twelve.

Speaker 3 (02:09:03):
No, But I just mean in general. I'm not saying
like a tit for tat one conference versus another. But
if we're talking about generally speaking, how does it really hurt?

Speaker 2 (02:09:12):
Like you tell me, how does it really hurt Arizona State?

Speaker 1 (02:09:18):
You're not playing marquee schools like a USC or UCLA.

Speaker 3 (02:09:21):
If you're playing if you're in a smaller conference and
you're not, you don't get the TV revenue? What if
it it has a trickle down effect all the way
down the same way it would affect a lot of
the other soccer clubs who would not have been a
part of the Super League.

Speaker 1 (02:09:33):
It's a it's a direct parallel.

Speaker 2 (02:09:35):
I don't think. I don't say it how I say
I because I look at it and go, there's only
eve full of teams compared to college football, where there's
what three hundred programs or whoever it is.

Speaker 3 (02:09:48):
Yeah, but you're also talking about yeah there are three
hundred programs, but like two hundred or even more than that.

Speaker 1 (02:09:54):
We're not even in like high Division one A.

Speaker 2 (02:09:56):
We're not.

Speaker 3 (02:09:56):
I'm just talking about the teams that are like in
the ACC the PAC twelve. You're not talking about that many.
If anything, you're talking about maybe.

Speaker 1 (02:10:04):
I don't feel and I can't tell you, uh that
I by the way, it's Leicester, Leicester City, Yes, thank you, yeah, Leicester,
thanks to dudes.

Speaker 2 (02:10:14):
Hit me with Leicester. I don't see the parallel. I don't.
I don't, And I think there's a there's also an
amateur versus professional thing here.

Speaker 3 (02:10:28):
I don't think that matters one one bit. Yeah, the
systems are somewhat.

Speaker 2 (02:10:33):
I don't know. I I don't think through the I
don't I see apples and oranges. You see apples and.

Speaker 1 (02:10:37):
Apple, absolutely apples and oranges.

Speaker 2 (02:10:39):
I yeah, no, I don't. I don't see it.

Speaker 1 (02:10:42):
I don't see the equitable.

Speaker 2 (02:10:44):
Really, I don't see it at all. To Arizona State
would never have a chance to win. But again, you're
only a super League. You're eliminating it would be akin
to eliminating pet State.

Speaker 1 (02:11:00):
So you're saying Penn Sty wouldn't begin up to make
it to the to the.

Speaker 2 (02:11:02):
Super super League, right.

Speaker 1 (02:11:03):
We're also depending on how many teams would have been
in the Super League.

Speaker 2 (02:11:06):
And I think, well, Mike, with you is there's a
big difference between Penn State and Arizona State. No, there is,
there is, And I get I just and I'm not
telling you that again. You know, the Arizona State is
some you know whatever program. Only point is is that
how does it really affect.

Speaker 1 (02:11:24):
That you're still in a major conference? How did it
affect lest Leicester City a couple of years ago for
making one run over? However many years it's been that
was massive. These teams wouldn't even have the opportunity to
do that.

Speaker 2 (02:11:38):
I mean if there was a super Honestly right now,
they don't have the opportunity to do it now, I
mean you don't. They don't. They don't, like Arizona State
is not making the playoffs.

Speaker 1 (02:11:50):
No, but no, certainly could happen at some point. I
don't see.

Speaker 2 (02:11:54):
I mean, because here's the problem with it right right now?
You got the way it's set up with four teams, what.

Speaker 1 (02:12:02):
You would be it's expanding now so well, yeah, but
you go.

Speaker 2 (02:12:05):
Back to your your ture sorting about the four teams.

Speaker 3 (02:12:07):
We're talking about the Alismore talking about the Super Conferences
of everybody's either going to be in the Big ten
or the or the SEC and pretty much those are
the only two conferences that are gonna have.

Speaker 2 (02:12:17):
Yeah, but yeah, but here's the thing where you took
that out that I think you take it out of context.
All it is is just the AFC the NFC, and
there's no limit to how many teams you can have
in those conferences.

Speaker 1 (02:12:32):
I mean, yeah, there's no limit to it, but I
mean you.

Speaker 2 (02:12:34):
Could have divisions, like you know, My only point about
the once you have and we're talking in case people
just join in. Figured I've had this argument for a while,
like once you have marquee teams leave the PAC twelve
and you have Texas, like you have these crazy you know,

(02:12:57):
the Big twelve of the PAC twelve get decimated by
these teams. Well, at this point, you might as well
just make it two leagues, like to two conferences and
make it the AFC the NFC, whether the PAC twelve
or the Big twelve or the ACC or the Big
ten or the that CEC, it doesn't matter. Just call
what it is.

Speaker 3 (02:13:18):
Okay, we can do that if we're gonna be will
into observe. My only issue is you have the opportunity
for the little guy doesn't exist. Now, granted they may
never win, they may win once every fifty years, but
if you're taking a major.

Speaker 2 (02:13:32):
Like the finally point you win together. Hearing it too
is that the Premier League is so small compared to
college football with the amount of teams.

Speaker 3 (02:13:40):
You're right, but I'm not just talking about the Premier League.
I'm talking about the lower leagues where you have to
earn your way into it. Like, by the way, the
Premier League is like what twenty teams? Yeah, so there's
ways with relegation, like you have to earn your way up.
There's just that opportunity doesn't what necessary would go away.

Speaker 2 (02:13:56):
I mean, honestly, you could. You could have it the
same way. I mean, if you have this lower league
and you have if you want to do it in
that way, you could easily do it in college football.

Speaker 1 (02:14:07):
Right, I don't know if they sign off for it.
I certainly, first of all, I think you can.

Speaker 4 (02:14:11):
You can.

Speaker 2 (02:14:12):
You can have that system college football more than you
could do it in any other sport because you have
all those teams, so you have you know, you have
the A, the you know, league A, League B and
the bottom of the League A gets relegated the League B,
and the League B guy teams move up.

Speaker 1 (02:14:30):
I mean, that's if it was up to me. They
do it across all sports. But that's not the problem.

Speaker 2 (02:14:34):
Is I like that idea. I do. I've always liked
the idea. Problem is in basketball, like to look at
the NBA. I know it's not feasible, like, what are
you gonna do? Where are those teams going?

Speaker 3 (02:14:46):
I know you can't have the Houston Rockets play in
so Sioux Falls, you know, I get it. I understand
we're too far down the road on it now.

Speaker 1 (02:14:53):
But college football that works. It could, It certainly could.

Speaker 2 (02:14:58):
So MO only point about the Super League in what
Rebecca said is I still I don't see the same parallel.
I know you do, and I think there's ways to
appease you. And I think it would be right to
do the relegation type of system in college football that we.

Speaker 1 (02:15:16):
Can agree on.

Speaker 3 (02:15:17):
I'm all for that, especially if we're going further and
further down this role that we're on, which I certainly
understand because of the finances and all that, that at
least gives the opportunity for the little guy to be
able to try to compete as.

Speaker 2 (02:15:30):
I and when I look at it, to me, the
whole things a farce. These conferences. Just whack it up
at AFC, NFC and then have a separate you know,
B big League and then you can do your relegation thing.

Speaker 1 (02:15:44):
I think that will be the simplest solution.

Speaker 2 (02:15:46):
You have divisions, you know, you don't need to have
just three d V you have as many divisions you
want in the A, f C, NFC. I mean, it
just would make much more sense, you know, you do.
Those institute just have to go away. It's like everything
else at the end when you think about the end
of what's happening right now with institutions being altered, changed

(02:16:11):
or flat out just disappearing, Like there's no need to
have these conferences to begin with.

Speaker 3 (02:16:17):
Well, I mean it's true. It sounds cold to say,
but yes, I mean it's just like, oh, these programs
are going away. It was like, well that's not necessarily
a good thing, but there's really no need to have
you could you can? They can join whatever group they want,
Like the NC double A is in farce anyway? Well, well, yeah,
the n C Double A is sure.

Speaker 1 (02:16:36):
I'm not even talking about them I'm could care less
about the NC double at about the institution. No, no, no,
the NC double as institution is is ridiculous and always
has been, or for a long period of time it
has been. It's about the men. The member schools competing
for championships, are competing creating your own you know.

Speaker 2 (02:16:52):
The the National College Football Association, and everybody's a part
of it, and we're whacking them all up into it's
a thing. And we all share revenue, and you know,
depending on the level of your school, and you know,
I mean, that's how you have to work.

Speaker 1 (02:17:09):
Nancy, double a is irrelevant to me when it comes
to this conversation or just in general. I don't know
if theyll least great conversation. I'll tell you I enjoyed it. No,
it's good debate. It's good debate, and you make good points.

Speaker 2 (02:17:19):
Let's vice versa, brother, Let's take a quick to you.
We'll come right back and the big brain will join
us to take a look at the weekend, especially tonight's
game six from a betting standpoint where the fellas right
here on Fox Sports Radio Weekend.

Speaker 4 (02:17:37):
Bradley, how are you, good morning for you?

Speaker 2 (02:17:41):
So we got a game six We talked about this
the other night leading into Game five heat and sell
Dix and oh we got it, by the way, you
nail all your props the other night too, and we'll
see if you can do it again. By the way, Yeah,
Seed are in some trouble.

Speaker 4 (02:18:04):
You know, if they look just obviously it's gonna be
a you know, a tough, big, huge game for them
because obviously they don't want to go to Game seven.
I think that he can pull it off, though, Anthony. Look,
I thought this line would come in at three. Uh,
it's actually now down to two and a half in
most places. But I think that he can actually pull

(02:18:25):
this off. I do. I just don't trust this Boston team, fully,
I don't. I do not trust this team. I know
they got that big win, you know, and they even
play the players in the fourth quarter of Miami the
last game. They they benched Jimmy and Damn in that
fourth quarter to wrest them for this game. But the

(02:18:46):
player actually like better, Anthony, more than the side in
this game. I do like under it now you can
get still two levels out there. I think it's gonna
be a lower the lowest scoring game of the series.
I think this is going to be a just absolute
all ams on deck, extreme defensive intensity game because I
think both sides know the importance of this game. Plus

(02:19:09):
it's the longer the series go. I always like tend
like unders more because you know the sets, the other
team is running more and it be harder to score
in these games. And I think this is going to
be a mucket up. I think it's gonna be the
lowest scoring game in the series at this point.

Speaker 2 (02:19:24):
Wow, look at that, dude, that's wid.

Speaker 4 (02:19:29):
Yep. I really I really think that. And and look
we'll see again. This should be a uh, this should
be again. This isn't. This is a huge, huge game
obviously for you know, the pressure finally is now a
little bit on Miami and if they lose this game,
it's going to be But I gotta tell you, I
know it was like, oh, they if they lose this game,
the series is over. And I granted I definitely think

(02:19:51):
that they probably will lose, but again, I just do
something about this Boston team, Anthony, I just don't fully trust.
I will give you a couple of props in this
game that I think are worthwhile. And this has been
my favorite one of the entire NBA playoffs, Okay, damn
Adabayer to get a steal. Last one hundred and seventy
two and twenty eight, last fifty thirty nine and eleven,

(02:20:12):
last twenty five, nineteen and six in a constant seventy
percent winning bet, he should get his steal. And they
keep making it a half. It was one and a
half during the entire season. For some reason, they're not
making it a half, Like, damn, they get a steal.
And Cale Martin's been, you know, very consistent performer for
the heat. He's gotten thirty three minutes a game, fifteen points,

(02:20:34):
twenty five points, eighteen points, sixteen points, fourteen points, I
like over twelve and a half. I think he's the
real deal, and I think that they need him in
this game.

Speaker 2 (02:20:44):
You know, it's funny. I think you're right. I think
they do need him. I think one of the things
from a Boston standpoint is with Brogden kind of kind
of being the ding. Yeah, with him kind of ding
like that. You know, Derek White, there's a lot of
pressure on it. He has to play well and Jalen

(02:21:06):
Brown shot the ball better, and they desperately need him
to have another big game.

Speaker 4 (02:21:13):
Yeah, Jalen Brown as It's funny. Look that he just
hasn't shown that, in my opinion, least that consistency that
you would like from a guy who was an All
NBA player, at least to me. Again, and this is
the guy who's been in the quote unquote superstar player.
But I've seen him. You know, he's had some dougs.
Now again, I'm not saying he's not a great player,
but in Game two, I think he shot seven to

(02:21:34):
twenty five. Game three was like six to eighteen something
in that ilk uh and he was really really disappointing,
you know, James harden Lake in a couple of those games,
I don't say as a compliment. So they need him
again as that second guy with Tatum to be the
consistent superstar they thought they were getting. You know, look,
we'll say again, I will say that you know brogged

(02:21:56):
into me. You know, in that Philadelphia series, had a
lot of good and I thought he was extremely helpful
to their team. In the last three games, he's goored
to combine two points in about forty minutes of action.
So I really don't think you can count him. He
is a I think he's a legitimately injured, not hurt.
I think he's like injured and I don't think he

(02:22:16):
I don't think he's really going to have any kind
of effective And I do think that is a significant
loss for this team. Obviously, they have the depth to
overcome it. You know, they just play guys like White more.
But I actually think Brodley was an extremely big piece
for the Celtics team all season.

Speaker 2 (02:22:31):
Yeah, no, I completely see that. I you know, I'm
thinking the same thing. And you know, the other guy
that's interesting is Horford.

Speaker 1 (02:22:40):
And you know Boston needs they need to get.

Speaker 2 (02:22:46):
Three of their guys to be hitt threes right like
to because they if they don't, if they go less
to that, like you need any combination of Tay Them, Brown, Horford,
White Williams. Like you need three of those guys to
be consistently in their threes or else they're gonna they're

(02:23:09):
gonna lose.

Speaker 4 (02:23:11):
Anthy'll emailed it. And it's interesting, Al Horford shot forty
from three during the regular season, Anthony, and this postseason
he's below thirty percent. And that's a huge thing for
this Boston team. Is Al Horton, You're right, they need
this Boston team Ansthey again, I always say, I mean
they are. They are a front running team. And when
they're hitting their threes, they look like they're the top
of the beauty pageant team. Right they're missing the ark

(02:23:33):
out there, they're they're unstoppable. But when they're missing their threes, man,
you know, they they think they go from Elle McPherson
pro just I don't know, like l someone else not.
They they don't look quite as good when, uh, when
they're not making their threes. And this is a team
that we've seen it and we thought, you know, in

(02:23:53):
that and that Philadelphia series, they're they're games where they're
just missing them, and when they don't hit their threes,
this team loses. And you know we've we've seen you know,
they've seen them hit their threes in these last couple
of games, and they look great when they hit those threes.
But to me, you know, this is a team that
lives and die with that shot. And you're right, they

(02:24:15):
need someone like Corford or they need that they need
those three pointers. I think it's gonna be hard from
the win this scheam thing. And that's why I lean
I don't trust them hit the threes in this game,
and I again I lean under and I actually think
Miami is going to close them out.

Speaker 2 (02:24:27):
Really, so you actually like the heat to win? Wow?
I do, Gabe Vinci, I you still know what you're gonna.

Speaker 1 (02:24:34):
Get from them?

Speaker 4 (02:24:36):
Yeah, well look that is a Look, Miami's been very
unfortunate in terms of you know, they didn't have the
depth that Boston had, and they lost to Ladipo Hero
who were two of the legit top seventy eight guys.
And now they're losing three of those guys. Now, he
when Heisman came in and had a again, now this
is sustainable. I don't know, came in and game a

(02:24:56):
lot of it wasn't garbage time to plaid like thirty
six minutes, made six to nine shots and played well
for them in that game five loss. Duncan Robinson actually
played well in that game five loss as well. They
didn't get anything from Kyle Lowry. I mean that was
a free yeah, and he just hasn't given them much.
But again, I feel like they didn't you know, Bam
and Jimmy didn't play the entire fourth quarter. I think

(02:25:19):
there'll be a huge crowd there to night. I will
be in attendance, rooting the heat on the game, going
to the game, going to the game. But I do
think that Miami again, I think they're poised for a
good performance. And again I just this Boston team. I
think they'd given us hints throughout his last couple of years,

(02:25:39):
and in these spots, I feel like they, you know,
whenever you want to start trusting them, and they seem
to just let you down. So again, I thought the
line would come in right around with it's that. I
don't think it's a bad line, but I just I
think Miami is mentally tough, and I think we saw
phil healthy team unable to close them out in Game six.

(02:26:00):
My instincts, temmy Miami is gonna be able to do it.
I don't think it's I don't think it's be a blowout.
I don't think they're gonna do what they did in
Game three. But I think that they'll find a way.
Maybe they just win a close game here.

Speaker 2 (02:26:10):
All right, do me favor my brother Sidzsike because they
want to get figure up here to give us some
trending figure.

Speaker 3 (02:26:18):
All right, we'll go to some major League baseball there
and Max Scherzer striking out seven batters or I should
say eight batters in seven innings, Met's beating Colorado five
to two, a home run there for Francisco Lindor as well,
Red Sox beating the Diamondbacks seven to two, snapping a
four game losing streak. Pirate snap Seattle's four game win
streak with an eleven to six victory the Bucks, hitting

(02:26:38):
seven home runs in that game. The Giants had nineteen
hits and score ten runs off of Freddy Peralta and
a fifteen to one victory in Milwaukee. Houston a five
to two win in Oakland, as the A's are now
ten to forty three on the season. Career saved number
four hundred for Craig Kimbrel in a Phillies victory over Atlanta.
Emmanuel Class with his major league leading seventeenth save in

(02:26:59):
awards at three. Cleveland win over Saint Louis Corey Seger
a grand slam for the surgeing Rangers, who beat Baltimore
twelve to two. They've won nine of their last twelve games.
San Diego's won four of their last five. They beat
the Yankees five to one, and Yandy Diaz with a
home run for the Rays. Who beat the Dodgers nine
to three. Back to the Fellas.

Speaker 2 (02:27:17):
All right, we are the Fellas and he's Kevin Figures.
I'm Anthony Garganta. We come to you alive from the
Tyraq dot com studios. Were brought to you by Discover.
At the end of your first year, Discover credit cards
automatically double the cash back you've earned. That's right, everything
you've earned doubled. Seriously see terms and check it out

(02:27:38):
for yourself. Discover dot Com slash Match Curious Western Conference
Finals in the NHL Bradley Dallas Vegas.

Speaker 1 (02:27:51):
As Vegas close it out, I mean.

Speaker 4 (02:27:54):
Well they should, they should, but they're about to our
fifty favorite Anthony again aptlen a dollar fifty for the
home teams in any of these games. I'm always looking
to the rule I've talked about on the show a
few times, Anthony. The road teams have won more games
from my whole teams. Home teams have, so I'm not again,
if you like Vegas, I'd rather have Vegas, you know. Uh,

(02:28:16):
I'm sure I would rather take Vegas in a pick
them or getting a dollar ten in Dallas. So it's
to laying a dollar fifty at home. I would lean
here to Dallas Bus a dollar thirty. They lost a
couple overtime games to them before. I think it'll be
a close game, and you know I'm the only way
I can clean here is to the underdog Stars. I
think it'll be another close game, and I'm not going
to lay a dollar fifty in that spot.

Speaker 2 (02:28:37):
All right, full day of baseball? What do you got
cooking for us? Baseball wise?

Speaker 4 (02:28:42):
Anything you like well versus prop I love Anthony Logan
web over seventeen and a half outs. This is my
favorite bet of the day, nine and one for the season,
over seventeen and a half out. The sky is a horse.
He went twenty and twelve last year as well, Because
that's twenty nine and twenty nine and uh and it's
last thirty nine games. Really think it's a terrific play.

(02:29:04):
Like that quite a bit, and I'm gonna give you
a couple other baseball plays. I like Tyler Glass now,
one of my favorite pictures in baseball. Now. The problem
with Tyler Glass and Anthony he can't stay healthy. But
he's healthy today. Okay, He's had four minor league starts
at zero point six eighty ra Tory's strikeouts and only

(02:29:24):
thirteen innings. You know, I expect him to you know,
at least today, he's gonna be healthy going into Clayton
Kershaw like under four and a half runs in the
five inning line. Love that. I think it's a two
elite pitchers going at each other. I made this total
three and a half, but getting a full extra run
to me is a huge edge. And I also bet

(02:29:45):
no runs he scored in the first inning. Again, according
to my mask, I should have been laying around a
dollar fifty five in this bet. He can lay at
dour fifteen. No running glass now kershell first inning, and
I'm going to give you one more Anthony Zach Wheeler
against Charlie Morton. I do like under nine runs now
either team. Both these pitchers, especially were has not been great,

(02:30:07):
but I like the pedigree on both these guys. I
actually think they're two really good pictures. Haven't that dominant
years yet. But I don't think the winning team here
gets six. I made this total eight and a half,
and nine is the most prevalent number in Major League
Baseball nine's and sevens. So because I'm getting that extra
half run where I thought it should have been eight,
and a half. I do like under nine and more
against Morton.

Speaker 1 (02:30:28):
All right, there you go.

Speaker 2 (02:30:29):
Anything else from a side standpoint kind of stand out
to you at all. You know, It's funny because I
was just looking at some of the pitching matchups and
for today, and the one I give you one that
I thought that stood out to me was over. It

(02:30:52):
was Nationals and Royals over. Those two teams hit the
ball well last night, and I could see them attacking singer.
And while you SAIDs Reg got good stuff, he's He's
profiles is not great against a couple of power hitters
in Kansas City like Perez. So I could see that

(02:31:15):
one going over.

Speaker 4 (02:31:17):
It definitely couldn't looten you. Gray's actually had a good
year singer. It's been extremely disapporning. Sorry. Last year's singer
had a really nice year. Look it was an up
and coming potential future ace for what they were hoping
he would be. But he's absolutely been pure gasoline this
year unfortunately for m Kan City standpoint. Yeah, Anthony, again,
I wish the total was nine. Again, I thought this

(02:31:38):
total would be nine and a half. That's what it
came in at. Again, I don't trust a singer at
all and Gray again, he's been decent, as you said,
but I don't and I don't trust either bullpen here
would lean here to the old antony, but again not
a game I personally wagered on. I will say this, Andy,
if you just take the run line against the Oakland

(02:31:59):
e if I've done this too many times to count,
I just take the run mind laya Bauer, lay a
run in a half against whoever they play. I lay
a run, and I lay bigger juice against whatever they play.
They just lose every game, and it's it's it's it's
hard to price this team because they really are maybe
the worst team in Major league history. And when they
play a good team like in Atlanta or a Houston,

(02:32:19):
it really is almost like more like an NBA game.
You know how in baseball Anthony, usually anyone could beat anyone.
The Oakland A's are really proving that theory wrong. They
can't beat anyone. They are severely over matched.

Speaker 8 (02:32:30):
And then they Valdez today too, and Valdez, Yeah, Valdez
is gonna probably just you know, pitch like a you know,
seven innings, four hits, you know, maybe one run kind
of game.

Speaker 4 (02:32:43):
Yeah, I think this Oakland team, Anthony, as I said,
is extremely uh you know, overmatch, and I think it's
very hard for this team to win any kind of games,
just basically that they purposely don't. They have no major
league talent on either side pitching, hitting, and you know,
the one guy looked like it was Deacon with Mason
nor the rookie, he's already injured and potentially out for
the season.

Speaker 2 (02:33:04):
Yeah, yeah, no, they're pad. Uh. Listen, my brother, I
want you to have a great holiday weekend and enjoy
to hoops tonight. All right, So good luck on that
and then we'll talk to.

Speaker 4 (02:33:16):
You next week. I appreciate it. Good luck everyone out
there there.

Speaker 2 (02:33:19):
He is the big brain on Brad talking sports from
a betting standpoint. We'll come back and uh and wrap
it up on this beautiful Memorial Day weekend where the fellas.
He's Kevin Figures, I'm Anthony Gargano. We got our man,
Mighty Mark and of course our producer, the big Ee,
Ethan Miller. That's the crew. We'll come back in just

(02:33:42):
a second, wrap it up right here on Fox Sports Radio.
All right, welcome back, fellas, Kevin Figures, Anthony Gargana. We're

on chat? What are you gonna be doing this weekend?

(02:34:25):
This moral day weekend? Anything fun? Nothing? Really?

Speaker 3 (02:34:27):
Uh, nothing really locked in at the moment in time.
So I'll told you about this festival not too far
from from where I live. So we're gonna hit that
up at some point this weekend. But we don't have
really locked in plans or dates where we plan on
doing something later today. But we just don't know what
kind of fly by the seat of our pants a
little bit. Sometimes it's nice to have a plan, and
sometimes it's nice to just kind of wake up and say, uh,

(02:34:49):
I'm feeling X so I'm feeling why let's hit that up?

Speaker 2 (02:34:52):
So you know, it's weird, you know, nobody does any
more on the weekend holiday weekend? Was that code to
the movies? Yeah? Is that just deck?

Speaker 3 (02:35:04):
I don't know if it's totally dead, but well, it's
also like what's I guess what's out?

Speaker 1 (02:35:08):
Like, I mean, didn't what the Guardians of the Galaxy
just come out? Or is it coming out? I'm not
one hundred percent sure yet.

Speaker 3 (02:35:15):
I'm trying to think of it because usually around this
time is when blockbusters come out. I know, I think
the Little Mermaid either just came out or it's coming
out soon. Yeah, so maybe people will turn out. I
will speak personally, especially now in the age of streaming,
and I've never been one to have to like flood
to the theater to watch something on premiere week. So
if I know what's going to show up on a
streaming service within in three months, I will gladly just

(02:35:38):
wait and just watch it there. So that's kind of
taking a little bit of the luster out of going
to the movie theaters to actually watch a film.

Speaker 1 (02:35:45):
The last my wife and I and.

Speaker 2 (02:35:46):
Some that used to be a thing, Like how they
weekend you went through you like you would sneak in
a movie like that would be one a one day yep, right,
like you did that. So Guardian guard Guardians of the
Galaxy's out. There's really it's amazing that there's not a
ton of.

Speaker 3 (02:36:06):
Usually like Memorial Day weekend or July fourth weekend or
like will be like huge like blockbuster release weekends.

Speaker 1 (02:36:12):
Yeah, and I don't know if that's the case anymore.

Speaker 2 (02:36:16):
Yeah, the will Smith, you know, and did the World
movies coming out?

Speaker 8 (02:36:20):
Right?

Speaker 1 (02:36:21):
Yeah? Always water whatever I am legend.

Speaker 2 (02:36:26):
Yeah, yeah, but that it was funny because that was
always like a thing on the holiday weekend.

Speaker 1 (02:36:35):
Sure it was Chris A Big movies will come out?

Speaker 2 (02:36:40):
Yeah yeah, bizarre. Final thoughts on Heat Celtics. Now, the
Big Brain likes Miami. I don't like Miami. I do too.

Speaker 3 (02:36:52):
I just think they've been so tough and so resilient
the entire postseason. Jimmy Butler just you know, has that
dog in him. I just feel like this is going
to be one of those like Jimmy Butler refused to
lose kind of games at home, chance to close it out.
They know that the pressure is on them, they being
the Miami Heat, and I think they'll rise to the challenge.

Speaker 1 (02:37:12):
So I'm with the Big Brain on this.

Speaker 3 (02:37:13):
It's really cool that he was able to get himself
a ticket and go down there, because that's going to
be a pretty cool atmosphere.

Speaker 2 (02:37:20):
Yeah, I will it.

Speaker 1 (02:37:23):
No, Well, look, I know Miami is not theame.

Speaker 2 (02:37:26):
They show up lay, they leave early. They left early.

Speaker 1 (02:37:29):
It was game was the game free.

Speaker 2 (02:37:32):
They were rowing Boston and they left early.

Speaker 1 (02:37:35):
I gotta get to the club, you know what I mean?
In South Beach? What am I supposed to do?

Speaker 2 (02:37:41):
That's where you stay.

Speaker 1 (02:37:42):
Watch the end of the bench play. Yes, I'm being.

Speaker 2 (02:37:47):
A little to salute your team at the end of
the game.

Speaker 1 (02:37:49):
I'm being a little bit facetious.

Speaker 3 (02:37:51):
But with a chance a game six at home to
go to an NBA Finals, Yes, you're right, they do
come late, they do leave early.

Speaker 2 (02:37:59):
But we've seen them.

Speaker 3 (02:37:59):
Look at times during the Heatles runs when with Shaq
and Waite they have some passion to him every now
and then too, And I think this is gonna be
one of those nights.

Speaker 1 (02:38:06):
So I know you like Boston. I'm with the big
brain on this one. I like to eat.

Speaker 2 (02:38:10):
Yeah. And again, you know, listen, Boston is my enemy.

Speaker 3 (02:38:15):
Miim you talk to a Laker fan here, brother, Come
on now. Yeah, so wishful thinking on my part too.

Speaker 2 (02:38:24):
I can't.

Speaker 1 (02:38:24):
I can't discount that.

Speaker 2 (02:38:26):
Now.

Speaker 1 (02:38:27):
The broad day injury does that's a killer? Yeah? Does
hurt because he's an all he's a do everything for
them kind of guy.

Speaker 2 (02:38:33):
Yeah, it plays great. D all the ball Yeah yeah,
a lot of pressure on Derek White.

Speaker 1 (02:38:39):
See if you give us a band again.

Speaker 2 (02:38:41):
Yeap. Yeah. All right, well listen, you have a great
holiday weekend, my brother. You try to get some rest
in there, you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (02:38:52):
Sleep's overrated.

Speaker 2 (02:38:54):
I love it. Uh Muddy Mark and he have a
great one. Guys, we love you and know your weekend.

Speaker 1 (02:39:00):
Be careful. We'll see you later. Fellas are out mm hmm.
