dot com is the way tire buying should be. We
(00:54):
are less than five minutes away from the marquee game
of the night in the NBA. Lugadancic play the Mavericks
for the first time since the Big Trade a few
weeks ago. Obviously, no Anthony Davis takes a little bit
of the luster out of this game. You know, the
game being in Los Angeles, but still here's Luca first
time back against the Mavericks and you know, watching him
(01:14):
warm up. They have the ISO camera on him the
entire time, and I love the video before the game
just you know, and sometimes you picture is snapped at
a really weird time. But Nico Harrison, the GM of
the Mavericks, who's just sitting up against the scorers table
with his arms folded, watching Luca take jump shots.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
I'm just saying, this is so awkward. This is like
Mike blue suit on. He looks like a bill.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
This is like like when your friends in high school
and something happens at a party and there's a big
fight and the next day it's like, okay, none of
us are speaking, but we all have to be in
class together and it's just really really awkward. That's kind
of what that looked like. Him just standing there watching Luca,
who's just laughing and not even paying attention, not even
(01:57):
looking to the sideline he's shooting warming up. I'm like, oh,
this is awesome, this is so this is so petty. Already,
like Luca won't look over Nico Harrison's got that look
like Luca's gonna go for seventy tonight.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
Well, add the extra pettiness of as Nico Harrison made
his way down to court side. He got a standing
ovation from Laker fans who were in sure.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
So you add that to they will chant his name
when Luca has a couple of big time they will
chant Niko Niko Nikoh, They'll they'll unfer banners of him.
Oh yeah, they're gonna. They're gonna probably maybe at halftime.
You get and now let's look up to the Raptors
for a very special presentation right next to Taylor Swift
selling out Staple Center. It's gonna be the big Nico Harrison.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
No, it's yeah, it's good. And then you add another
layer to the on. You keep peeling it back. There's
Anthony Davis who's not gonna play, but he was out
there tape putting up shots in the warm ups, so
he was wearing it. I'm not gonna going on. And
then Luca give him some pre parking to a couple
of the lots.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
That's nice, pretty good stuff.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
Get In was at two hundred and sixteen bucks when
I checked her this afternoon. Who got in the guard
to drive in again? If Anthony Davis's play would him?
Speaker 5 (03:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (03:06):
But but either way, a nice healthy profit margin for
those that are turning their seats over as they welcome
Luca for another big night, and we have great expectations
of what we're about to see.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
All right, how do you feel, Frostburg, What do you
got from this?
Speaker 5 (03:18):
I mean, you know how much I love Luca, how
much loves Luca. Sure, but he's he's not in the
stratosphere that Nico's in.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Love.
Speaker 5 (03:27):
Guys in all the city, he might I mean really
getting a statue. It's like it's he's getting a statue with.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
That pose where he's leaning again, swearing a blue suit.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
If the Lakers win the title. What do you mean if?
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Okay, when the Lakers win the title this year, you
need to take this bet with me. Lakers win the title,
you rename your two children, Nico and Harrison, my future.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
No two you already have. You have to tell them, hey, sorry,
wait wait, wait, breaking news. He's going back for more.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
I tell Jackson, Hey, sorry, I know you've been going
by this for a long time, but you're now Nico.
Speaker 5 (04:02):
If it gets us another championship, I don't think he
would be down.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
All right, very good, Okay, I'm Nico now missus Johnson,
you gotta call me Nico, do.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
You like what Daddy's happy? Here's the proposition.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
This is even my kids, Nico and Harrison. What yeah,
oh that's a big trade. Yeah okay, no, but I'm
not breaking news or anything. That guy's getting he's getting
a statue. I don't know when exactly, but it's happening, dude.
The the the trolling that's gonna happen tonight from the
crowd to Nico Harrison is going to.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Be insane, It really is.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
I mean, and I would guess the what what would
the what would the statue be?
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Nico like on the phone with thumbs up, you know
what that be?
Speaker 2 (04:36):
What it is?
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Yeah, he's sitting having coffee with Rob Polinka. Is it
them staring at each.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
Other, That's what it is, cross sitting across the.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Table and and and they're and they're uh and they're
toasting coffee with each other.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
That's what they're doing.
Speaker 5 (04:49):
Glass around it, like like the picture was oh yeah yeah,
glah yeah yeah oh yeah yeah with the glass yes, okay,
very good.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
What do you call this statue? Fleece?
Speaker 1 (04:58):
It sounds like Frostburg's to design this. Oh no, no, he's
been working on tracked her out and everything.
Speaker 5 (05:03):
Early he was calculating against out the window. Statue was
a go guys for.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Your kids, Nico and Harrison, that's gonna be like, I'm scared,
like dud silly Jerry Coasta.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
He's got a little statues all over. Oh, so here
we go.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Give Christy he's getting his start, so everybody was showing
him some love. So uh yeah, Luca Dauntic is shaking
hands with everybody. Lebron is laughing like a giddy school
kid before tip off. Here Luca is tapping up with
his former teammates. We get ready, and a d is
just sitting on the bench, uh, wearing a light big
(05:41):
light blue fuzzy jacket. And that's the only real, uh
Mavericks thing I see, because I think they banned Mavericks.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Luca donc jerseys from didn't did that? Did that happen
or no they banned the jerseys. I'm not sure.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
I thought I saw that somewhere, but yeah, getting aggressive
right off to jump and missing a jumper, but easy
rebound in a score.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
So Laker's on the board the way we go.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
So here it is Ruey Hachimura the first basket of
the game, rebounding a missed Luca three. Luca took that
first three about ten seconds into the game.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Just wanted to get that one off his chest right away.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Bam, Lakers won the tip, and he said, come on,
come on, this the entire night's he checked night. Come on,
give me the ball, give me he's gonna see you
look the clappy. Give it to me, Give it to me, Give.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
It to me. But I did.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
One of my favorites though, was the shot of him
walking into the arena today after all of the talk
about wow, he's overweight and this that the other like.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Was he really?
Speaker 4 (06:39):
I mean, he's kind of like the James Harden Was
he wearing a fat suiting kind of thing.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
It's not so much about deception and whatever.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
I mean, well, here's the thing, and here's the thing
with Luca went when we talk about him being overweight,
it's not that he's overweight, it's that he doesn't have
as much muscle tone sure as most athletes do. And
he gets tired easy, which is part of not being
in shape. Right, So you see that it's okay, he's
not really You know, you can get by with a
body like that if you're Pete Alonzo and you're playing
first base, hitting fifty home runs a year, it's tough
(07:07):
to get by.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
It's only one year.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
He died fifty just this year, and he'll at fifty
this year because he wants that big contract. So but
when you play basketball, it's kind of tough to get
away with. Okay, this is what I look like. It's like, dude,
don't you get in the gym? Where's your where's your chisel?
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Bit?
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Usually the year one to year two transformation from this
is how I've done it my life. Okay, we're gonna
get rid of the baby fat, We're gonna get rid
of everything else, and you're gonna be much more chiseled,
more in shape, and more more stamina. It took me
while I was fifty one, and here I am. Look,
everybody comes to a road.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
So that's it. But the other thing with Luke, I.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
Think that's been lost in a lot of the conversation,
right when we start comparing ages of guys and and
wear and tear on the body. He has been playing
professionally since he was what like five, So I mean
there's a lot of international play and battles on that body.
So he's not your normal twenty five and you could say, yay,
guys have been played college whatever.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
It's not the same. It's just not no, it's not no.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
That's why when you get you know, hey, training table
in college is great, that's one thing. But when you
get to the NBA, it's a quite there. And usually
the first year they don't go crazy with all right, listen,
come in, get used to the get used to the NBA.
Get you know, instead of playing thirty five games a year,
now you're gonna play double that even more than that.
I know you played a lot of AAU games, but
this is different, the travel. But then after okay, that
(08:26):
first year was great. Now he gets you to the
jim and usually see that mark transformation from year one
to year two. Lucas in year you know, the year six,
year seven, and it's like, yeah, no, I'm still looking
the same. I'm still absolutely looking the same. That's what
it is.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
He just got teed up too, Now what's going on?
Speaker 1 (08:43):
So Luca goes in for a layup and he wants
a foul call and he doesn't get it, and he
stands in front of the ref and he does the
hole slapping of his finger hands together like he wants
the call and he gets teed up.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Which is ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
I mean, he didn't doesn't touch the ref doesn't bump
him coming back down, but clearly the referee the official
did not want anything to do with Luca. Again, Luca
goes in for a layup and he misses, wants a foul,
does the whole slap his hands come on, but he
does it right in front of the referee. The referee
tees him up. Luca's dad is not happy they showed him.
Nico Harrison right now is standing up waving his jacket
(09:24):
over his head.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
He's saying, throw him out, give him another one, give
him another one. Uh like the helicopter. This is this
is where you're at right now.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Lakers leave the Mavericks eleven to five early in the
first quarter. Luca Danchard so far for the Lakers. Again,
he missed that first bucket, but he has since scored.
He's got a couple of points now and again Lakers
up nine to five. We'll have more on this game
coming up, but just spend a couple of minutes on
(09:52):
the other really big story out of basketball today is
that we wave goodbye to the greatest women's basketball player
we've seen, Diana Tarassi decides to hang it up after
a twenty year career in the WNBA. Nobody is decorated
as her three national championships at Yukon, three titles in
the WNBA, Why fourteen all WNBA teams, three MVPs. Like
(10:16):
she's had a six gold medals. Like she's had a
career unlike anybody so far, and it's been awesome to see.
And you know, for her hanging them up today after
twenty years of playing at forty two, she won the
last gold medal this last summer. She started a little
bit but then came off the bench. It really pretty
much took the spot that was going to go to
Caitlin Clark. But you know, she has a career that's
(10:37):
just incredible, and she goes through, she goes through the
beginning of women's basketball where the WNBA was still starting
and trying to get noticed and and on the and
on the big board. And here's where she leaves where
it's the best it's ever been. And it's cut through
to be another big sport. Like in the WNBA, the
w is a thing now it's not like, well, no,
(10:58):
it's you you have, you have baseball at Paul Basketball,
and part of basketball is NBA WNBA Women's college basketball,
Like the w's become a thing, and she's seen it
from its early stages of maybe this can be something,
and we have to keep it going to where it
is right now, leaving it in the hands of Caitlin Clark,
Angel Rehees, Brianna Stewart, Asia Wilson and all these other
big stars now and when it comes down to it,
(11:20):
like this is a big thing to know. This is
a big takeaway from Diana Tarrossi's career. And this is
gonna sound weird, but the best thing about Diana Tarossi
is that all these records that you know, maybe not
six gold medals, but all these records that she holds
are all gonna get smashed. And that's the best part
about her career because when you're playing the WNBA and
(11:42):
the stars aren't there yet and you're playing okay, you
own a lot of records and it's awesome. But now
this new level of superstar that has come in led
by Caitlyn Clark, all her records are gonna go ten
thousand points and WNBA history that's gonna be gone. While
when someone's midway through their career, three pointers, three pointers
in the postseason gone, all of that is going to
be eclipsed because she's going to be known as the
(12:04):
conduit that took W the W NBA from its early stages.
She was the big star. To look where we are
now and look how big the game is now, almost
like Richard Petty and NASCAR to kind of give you
a bigger explanation. King the King, he was the conduit,
right he was. He was the best NASCAR driver for
so long. But it was when NASCAR was still kind
of a cultish sport, and I mean like it was
(12:25):
a it was a cult sports in the South.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
And I mean, now you see the ratings for these
races on Fox better than pretty much anything other than
the NFL.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
But NASCAR was still was still a cult was still
a cult sport. It was still had a rabbit fan base,
but it wasn't that big. And then it got to
the mainstream in the nineties with Dale Earnhardt and Jimmy
Johnson and Jeff Gordon and Sterling Marlin and all these
other great drivers. Dale Earnhard Junior. So now look at
where NASCAR is it's it's it's it's at the peak
of its powers. And that's what Richard Petty is known
(12:55):
at because he was that guy for so long. And
that's Diana Tarassi. And the best thing I can say
is all of her records, which are amazing, are all
gonna get smatched, and that's a great thing.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
But you're gonna have that celebration of her all the
way through twenty years. I mean, the longevity just amazing.
You know, we talked about the MLB ESPN split the
other night. Guess who's there and poised to jump into
some of that as well, some of that money, some
of that airtime, some of that space. It's the WNBA, right,
it's another opportunity for growth and exposure. And Diana Tarassi
(13:25):
with all of these accolades, and you just think twenty
years and leaving while she's still averaging fourteen a game,
still able to play on a high level. Now we're
watching the game change. You're getting that next crop and
really a slew of great players. We talk about the
women's college game all the time that she is that
(13:45):
bridge and celebrating go back to her and you see
some of the others on the broadcasts or that get
the star treatment, right, Whenever Sue Byrd shows up to something,
there she is. Whenever, you know, you look at Rebecca
Lobo as a broadcaster and you get to put up
her accolades and reminder of where this game has long been.
(14:06):
But now just you know, mainstream coming around, as you say,
with NASCAR when it got its juice, when Junior and
Stuart and all those guys were at their peak. So
fun times ahead, no question about it, and a celebration.
Hell of a run, man, is just amazing. She goes,
I am full.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
The endgame statement. I'm full just reading all her accomplishments.
I'm like, yeah, okay, all right, yes, I'm fuck I
got full halfway through the article reading all this time.
I mean, it was crazy, but that's the best part.
All her records are going to get smashed. Speaking of
smashing records, I don't know if he's trying. I told
you he was going to score seventy tonight. Luca might
(14:46):
be on his way. It is nineteen fourteen. Lakers lead
the Mavericks. They just cut to Mark Cuban on the
sideline giving one of those The camera's on me, so
I'm smiling even though I'm really mad. Luca has just
hit hit his second three in the last two minutes.
He has ten already. Midway through the first quarter. Lakers
(15:06):
lead the Mavericks nineteen to fourteen.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Can you read lips? What do you think he said
to them? Avericks bench right there?

Speaker 1 (18:11):
I think it was Z one hundred growing up in
New York with Z one hundred, log it in and
rip the nabby.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Does it go to eleven? Ah, that's awesome, So a
d They just showed him.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Of course, Anthony Davis not playing in the game tonight,
still injured. Lakers lead the Mavericks twenty three to eighteen.
It has been a big first quarter so far for
Luka Doncic. He has every single but no, Luka doncas
has has ten points tonight.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
For the Lakers.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
It is a big obvious trolling game, Mark Cuban, Nico Harrison.
Everybody is there gritting their teeth as much as they can.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
Luca's old man, Yeah, Luka eall yeah, everybody, everybody who
was anybody in this trade is there tonight.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
But they did have a nice moment.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
They showed Anthony Davis on the Jumbo Trump that had a
big standing ovation for him. Nice moment for him, even
though he is not playing the night sitting on the bench.
Did work out a little bit before the game, took
some shots, but clearly not the not the Luca moment
that he has he is. Actually, I'm sorry I gave
him one more point than he has.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
That's all right, Luca Is.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
It's two and a half to go in the first quarter.
Luca is nine seven and four, nine points, seven rebound,
four assists.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
Are they gonna get to five by five? Yes, I know.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
I don't think he has five turnovers. Again, he is
nine seven and four tonight so far midway and this
is late in the first quarter.
Speaker 4 (19:34):
Yeah, he's playing like a man possessed. I mean that
haircut I think made a more aerodynamic as well.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Timms would say, hey, I would take that from a
guy off the bench for the entire game for us,
if they.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
Could go nine, that would be a cumulative of your
bench players. You would take that right now.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
I'll take nine, nine, seven and four from those three
guys in the five minutes they're gonna play.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Oh take it. So a twenty five to twenty lead
for the Lakers over the Mavericks. Meanwhile, not to be
out deciding I'm gonna really show up tonight, Kyrie Irving
already has fourteen in the game here, So Kyrie said, hey, hey, hey,
why why it's not about me? All of a sudden,
I want it to be about me. So twenty five
twenty is the score again about two minutes ago in
the first quarter, and it is just up and down
(20:17):
the floor. It is an epic night so far. We'll
keep you updated on this throughout the night.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
But two big.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
So we got a bunch of big stories now from
the NFL because teams are arriving at the combine and
we're getting gms and head coaches talking and they're all
saying good things, almost like they had a big meeting
with Roger Goodelli said, hey, listen, we got to take
the new cycle back. So say good things when you
talk to reporters. Don't just be bland and not say anything.
Say something good. And we got good things today.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Hype man for the new year. Did they bring out
pit Bull with his glove?
Speaker 4 (20:50):
I know, ladies and gentlemen here to get you ready
for your combine.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Now.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
The first star that we're pretty sure is coming back
for next season now chief tied in Travis kelce This
is because earlier today their GM Brett Veach said, oh yeah, yeah, no,
I'm expecting a big, motivated Travis Kelcey.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
Back in twenty five, how we left at the end of.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
The season is that he was fired up.
Speaker 6 (21:14):
He has one more year under contract, and you still
think he has that prior and desire to play.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
And as far as I'm concerned, right there is no deadline.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
I think we left it as he'd be back and
it'd be excited to get it back.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Okay, And remember when we told you when this came up,
this was about money. This is Matthew Stafford light. Okay,
you want to know what this is really about. When
we first heard after the Super Bowl, Kelsey said, I
don't know, it takes some time. Don't want to make
a hasty decision. We told you right away. No, this
is about money. Anytime someone talks about retirement, first thing
(21:44):
you do go look at their contract. And this is
the last year of Travis Kelsey's deal. It's the biggest
payday he'll ever get in the rest of his NFL career.
No matter what you do for a podcast, you're not
going to make eleven million dollars a year on a podcast.
And with this being the final year of his contract
and him slowing down, I am sure he was pushing
and the final bit of leverage to try to get
(22:07):
a new deal to play another couple of years. Because
remember it was three days before the super Bowl when
Travis Kelsey said they was asked, what are you doing
in three years hopefully still playing? I feel great, I'm motivated,
this is awesome. Oh you lost the super Bowl, So
now sudden you know if you want to play anymore.
This is a contract thing, and it's Matthew Stafford light
because both sides feel the same way as the Rams
of Matthew Stafford about money. Matthew Stafford wants more money.
(22:30):
The Rams don't want to give it to him. But
that's gotten combative. And now now the Rams have allowed
Matthew Stafford to go out and potentially get his own deal.
If you want, we could trade you someplace else whereas
the Chiefs have been hey, hey, hey, yeah, we know
what you're doing, not falling for it. All the Chiefs
have said to a man was hey, take your time.
We love you. We're hoping you come back next year.
(22:51):
We're not gonna replace you as a tight end. We
love you. Nope, not hearing the stuff about money, Gonna
ignore it, didn't hear it, Gonna keep going forward.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
We love you, Take your time.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Because Travis Kelsey doesn't want it to get combative, doesn't
want it to get this way. But this is what
you're seeing. And Kelsey threw out that little bit of
I don't know, I'm gonna take some time, and clearly
the Chiefs haven't gone for it. There's gonna be no
new money for Travis Kelcey, no new deal, none of this.
They know that, hey, great, he's a great ambassador for
the team. He's still a top five tight end, you
(23:22):
know five ish tight end going into this year. Still
out of you know, that kind of year last year,
but obviously his skills are deteriorating and the Chiefs want
to move on. Are you gonna get better at tight
end this offseason? Probably not so. One more year Travis
Kelsey is okay, but they're not going to extend him.
But they're keeping that message of positivity. If we love you,
take your time. What about the make.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
Don't bring up money. Now, we love you, take your time.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
This is Matt Stafford light, but this is exactly what
Kelsey wanted. He's not gonna get it, but he will
come back. Like we said when this went on, he
will come back for one more year. He's still playing
at a decent enough level. He's not gonna get paid,
even though that's what this is all about.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
I mean, you had a bunch of reports, and something
else each broached in his comments was that, you know,
Kelsey was really sick, as were a lot of guys
on both sides. We were getting that report towards the
end of the week. Look flu's going around. Take care
of yourselves people. I mean, we've got guys getting filled
left and right around the schools and workplaces in America.
And if you're six, stay the hell home. All of
(24:19):
that to say, you know, part of that when we
get into the discussion of wanting to come back right
in the PostScript, he had.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
A miserable game.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
It was a miserable three and a half hours, and
in the immediate see of it, you're like.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
Yeah, I've done I don't want this anymore, screw this.
Speaker 4 (24:36):
And then fifteen hours later you get some pedia light
in you, a little bit of sleep, You're like, I'm
ready to go, and I have nineteen million reasons to
come back, right Because as much as you've got all
this stuff on the outside, that's great unless you're still
playing football, and in the public view there, I think
that wanes a little bit, and then you screw Jason
too because you're gonna take some money out of his pocket.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
Oh, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
He's got the late night shown now at all kinds
of stuff. Everybody still love Jason kelce I.
Speaker 4 (25:03):
Want one of those. I could probably get as many
people to watch. The Eagles offensive line was better without him.
It's better on television.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
Wow, look at that hot Tay Hot Tay future Hall
of Famer. The better without you.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
But for Kelsey, right, it still was over ninety catches,
but was at what eight point four eight point five
yards per per catch? So you know that's down, but
you also were missing one of your big hayes. Open
up the field and give him opportunities, Like, there's a
lot to get excited about if this offense comes back
because zavi'er worthy started to show out the second half
(25:35):
of the year. Yeah, you've got to fix the old line.
But for Travis Kelcey a lot of money to come
back and you can play that. I think the Chiefs
legitimately and he still want to be in, you know,
in business together. I'm not so sure the Rams really care,
which is why they said, hey, Matt, go go and
see what else is out there knowing that there's so
many desperate teams like, yeah, go ahead.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
But that's the thing is that, Hey, Travis Scott, we're
being nice. I love being a chief.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
What about a little bit. Yeah, we're not going to
do the money thing, boy, but I could retire. Yeah,
but boy, we're really not going to give you money. Okay,
let's keep it all surfacing in light.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
But if you do, it's just like a party when
the Hey, we're at odds with somebody. But let's keep
it surfacing in light. Let's sweep it a mile. Sweep
it under the rug. Would you like some of the shrimp?
Here you go, sweep it. This is not Luca and
Nico Harrison the first game back and they're staring at
each other.
Speaker 4 (26:20):
Sweep it under the rug. Did you see Luca was
doing push ups in the pregame too. The other thing is,
you know, when you're you're each and you've got some
things you obviously need to address both defensively on the
D line.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
You need some more help.
Speaker 5 (26:33):
Right.
Speaker 4 (26:33):
Jones was hurt and banged up a little bit in
the Super Bowl, attributed to the push push or not.
Carl Loftus is there, but you need some a little
more support there in the front seven, but definitely need offense.
One nineteen million dollars helps you get there. Plus the
augmented salary cap. There's a lot of gaps. So I
was like, all right, we love you, Travis, but we
(26:55):
can play this game too.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
X at how about a fresca X It's Swallen Dome
Jason Smith, Mi Carmen. We told you at the beginning,
this was about money. Travis Kelsey's coming back. He's not
gonna turn eleven and a half million. Maybe they do
something fun for him at the end, when when they've
bought all their free agents have money, We'll give you
a little bit more, another five hundred grand. We'll do
something as a bonus. That's what's gonna happen. He's gonna
(27:19):
come back. It was about money. They're calling his bluff.
He's gonna move on. Time out to find out what's
trending in the wide world of sports. A guy who's
been called the Jason Kelcey of foxports audio universal praise
for what he does, but then when he doesn't do
it for a year or so, they realize the updates
is still pretty good without him, it's Steve the Seger.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
I'm sure that will be the case. We have fine
coworkers here.
Speaker 6 (27:44):
Honestly, when you started the paragraph, I thought you were
gonna say, and people call him the Jason Smith of Thos.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
Oh really? Oh okay, Hi compliment. There we go. I'll
try to find a shoehorn that in at some point.
Speaker 6 (27:56):
We just ended the first quarter in LA Lakers leading
the Dallas Mavericks twenty twenty. Luka Donsich now with LA,
played the first ten minutes of that opening period, had
nine points, seven rebounds, just one three pointer. A second
one that did go in was later not counted after
video review because he stepped on the sideline.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
As I saw Nico Harrison standing at the replay booth
grabbing the official.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
By the lapels, going that's a two, that's a two.
Speaker 6 (28:22):
He tapped the top of his head like Major League
Baseball and said, I want to go to the video review.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
He's just standing at the entire game doing the wind
up with his hands.
Speaker 6 (28:31):
Go look at it, Go look at it, Go look
at it. They started overtime at Memphis. The Grizzlies are
leading one forty two to one forty over the Phoenix
Suns and the other late games. At Golden State, It's
Warriors twenty eight eighteen over the Hornets at the end
of one. Hornets without Lamello ball tonight out due to
a bad ankle. New Orleans was fourteen and forty three,
but edge San Antonio one oh nine one oh three.
(28:53):
It combined thirty nine turnovers in that game. Houston came
back to beat Milwaukee one hundred to ninety seven. Boston
won at six in a row, winning at Toronto one
to eleven, one oh one, and Cleveland won it's eighth
straight one twenty two eighty two at Orlando. Kawhi Leonard
of the Clippers is off the injury report for tomorrow.
He's missed the last two games with the sore foot.
The Clippers this weekend will play the Lakers on Friday
(29:15):
and Sunday nights. For Philadelphia, Joel Embiid will miss another
game Wednesday. He's having tests on his knee this week.
To college basketball, Georgia at home upset number three Florida
eighty eight eighty three, and Oklahoma State at home its
beaten number nine Iowa State seventy four sixty eight. Fifth
ranked Tennessee extending its lead to fifty three forty four
(29:35):
at LSU with about seven minutes to go. Also in progress,
nineteenth ranked Louisville has tied at Virginia Tech fifty three,
all nine minutes to go. The Atlanta Foulcons say Kirk
Cousins will stay with the team as a backup quarterback.
Kansas City says it expects tight end Travis Kelsey to
keep playing. The Bills gave wide receiver Khalil Shaki a
(29:56):
four year extension. The Colts say they'll add competition at
quarterback for Anthony Richardson. Among the twelve NHL games, Toronto
came back for an overtime win at Boston five to four,
and the Washington Nationals resigned closer Kyle Finnegan to a
one year deal.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
Back to you, Thank you, Steve O, Jason Smith, Mike
Carmon Live Inthetirack dot Com Studios. Now we have the
other big NFL story coming up and decide it looks
like Travis Kelsey's coming back. But we want to say
this because you know we mentioned this tonight the biggest
game of the night in the NBA Lakers and the
Mavericks and Steve just gave you the updates on it.
Speaker 5 (30:26):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Incredible game going on right now in Memphis, Sons in
the Grizzlies one forty six to one forty four. Sons
have the lead this game in overtime again, one forty
six to one forty four. This is a game with
Booker and kd and and John Morant in a great season.
The Grizzlies are having. Get in for this game tonight,
(30:49):
earlier today, get in for this game. Not one, not two,
not three.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
Four dollars.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
That's with fees. No, it was with THEE. No, come on, man,
I'm telling you, good guy, you can't be I saw
that earlier.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
That can't be. No that No, there's no way. So
what is it? Two dollars? It was two dollars plus fees. Yeah,
no way, no way. No, I saw it. We saw it.
We went back and forth on that earlier.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
I unbelieve the way you guys are losing four dollars
with THEE with fee.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
It's everything.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
I mean, obviously, got a park and I put the
tickets in my cart, and I go through all that,
I check all the things, yes, yes, yes, yes yes,
and I come out with four dollars. It's not suddenly seventeen. No,
and when you pulled up, Katie parked your car.
Speaker 4 (31:38):
What's insane with this also is as we sat down
in the studio, as we're getting ready to take off
and start watching the the Lakers get after it, we
had that game on.
Speaker 5 (31:47):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (31:47):
John Moran was just having this miserable night where he
he was zero for eight from three and really hadn't
it a shot.
Speaker 3 (31:53):
Now he's up to twenty nine points, so he's still
having a miserable night.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
He's still seven out of twenty five, but he's been
perfect from the foul line eight for fourteen to get
him over.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
Yeah, I don't. I gotta think nights like this.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
I subscribe to the philosophy of hey, if you're if
you're if you're missing your shots, this is the basket.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
Go go ahead, buddy, go get it. I'm not gonna
put you on the free throw.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
This is not your night, man. Let go to the
bed there it is, go shoot, go do whatever you
want to do. I mean really, that's what I would do.
Speaker 4 (32:18):
And then he's got to be careful because with that frame, man,
you know, every hit is one. That's a problematic situation
with fees, with fee with fee.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
Can you show me proof of that, because I really
show not that I think line of me, but I
think maybe you miss something, because I can't believe.
Speaker 3 (32:32):
There's I was the report.
Speaker 4 (32:33):
I didn't go and try to check out myself to
verify it.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
Can't believe you're questioning it. You're gonna pay two dollars
in fee? Hey, I get this ticket for two dollars
you have? What about the fees? It's as much as
the tickets. Uh, okay, I'm good. I think i'm good.
I think i'm good. I think I'm going in there.
You go, well, we're again. It goes, it goes in
my cart, and then it says, oh, here's your ticket fee.
Here's your entrance fee. Here's your parking fee. Here's your
(32:58):
tax for driving on the road out side great, here's
your tax for using the website. Here's a time spent
on the website and all there. Yes, Look, psychologically, I can't.
I can't tell you what that cost is to be
buying a ticket to see the Suns. Four dollars that's
for you to decide. Okay, Well, hey, at least with
that four dollars, you're seeing a great one. Hey, you
got a lot of points, sure, but coming up next
(33:19):
a former NFL superstar is he really thinking about coming
back to play? And it's not Tom Brady. That's straight
ahead right here, Jason and Mike Fox Sports Radio. If

Ram? What what are we looking at? Here i'd be
at interested to see.
Speaker 5 (39:00):
It.
Speaker 4 (39:00):
Right it's a position where we've, got, uh there's, depth
but there's several guys that moved the, needle and certainly
as a media personality he. Has it's a team that's
on the come a. Bit Bo, NICKS i think exceeded
expectations for most can remember because he was fighting With
peyton early in the year or there's so it. Seemed
and then down the stretch you see With Courtland sutton
(39:21):
became and and what they had had a viable running
back and put him in to where you've got a
couple of burners on the. Edges he could have a
bit of an. Impact AND i think anybody would Take
kelsey's year overall ninety four was it ninety? Four catches
guy and you can tell he's on the, way there's no. Question,
yeah the explosiveness isn't. There but he could sit down
(39:43):
in his zone just as well as he ever. Did
and he caught one hundred passes for eighty eight to
eight for eight hundred. Yards it's not, monster not quite
as dynamic ash as he used to. Be, no but
you know the old Gray, mayor she ain't what she
used to. Be and at some point and you have
the physical diminished skills and also what the offense can.
Do he still needs to pretend to block more THAN
(40:04):
i Think kelsey, did and that's one Thing gronk was
always a bit underrated, on so he could.
Speaker 3 (40:08):
Help that process as.
Speaker 4 (40:10):
Well i'd love to see it again when these guys
come back or stick around another.
Speaker 3 (40:15):

ti rack dot com studios diirect dot com and help
you get there an unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free
road hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended installers. Tiraq
dot com is the way tire buying should be. We
(00:54):
are less than five minutes away from the marquee game
of the night in the NBA. Lugadancic play the Mavericks
for the first time since the Big Trade a few
weeks ago. Obviously, no Anthony Davis takes a little bit
of the luster out of this game. You know, the
game being in Los Angeles, but still here's Luca first
time back against the Mavericks and you know, watching him
(01:14):
warm up. They have the ISO camera on him the
entire time, and I love the video before the game
just you know, and sometimes you picture is snapped at
a really weird time. But Nico Harrison, the GM of
the Mavericks, who's just sitting up against the scorers table
with his arms folded, watching Luca take jump shots.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
I'm just saying, this is so awkward. This is like
Mike blue suit on. He looks like a bill.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
This is like like when your friends in high school
and something happens at a party and there's a big
fight and the next day it's like, okay, none of
us are speaking, but we all have to be in
class together and it's just really really awkward. That's kind
of what that looked like. Him just standing there watching Luca,
who's just laughing and not even paying attention, not even
(01:57):
looking to the sideline he's shooting warming up. I'm like, oh,
this is awesome, this is so this is so petty. Already,
like Luca won't look over Nico Harrison's got that look
like Luca's gonna go for seventy tonight.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
Well, add the extra pettiness of as Nico Harrison made
his way down to court side. He got a standing
ovation from Laker fans who were in sure.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
So you add that to they will chant his name
when Luca has a couple of big time they will
chant Niko Niko Nikoh, They'll they'll unfer banners of him.
Oh yeah, they're gonna. They're gonna probably maybe at halftime.
You get and now let's look up to the Raptors
for a very special presentation right next to Taylor Swift
selling out Staple Center. It's gonna be the big Nico Harrison.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
No, it's yeah, it's good. And then you add another
layer to the on. You keep peeling it back. There's
Anthony Davis who's not gonna play, but he was out
there tape putting up shots in the warm ups, so
he was wearing it. I'm not gonna going on. And
then Luca give him some pre parking to a couple
of the lots.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
That's nice, pretty good stuff.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
Get In was at two hundred and sixteen bucks when
I checked her this afternoon. Who got in the guard
to drive in again? If Anthony Davis's play would him?
Speaker 5 (03:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (03:06):
But but either way, a nice healthy profit margin for
those that are turning their seats over as they welcome
Luca for another big night, and we have great expectations
of what we're about to see.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
All right, how do you feel, Frostburg, What do you
got from this?
Speaker 5 (03:18):
I mean, you know how much I love Luca, how
much loves Luca. Sure, but he's he's not in the
stratosphere that Nico's in.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Love.
Speaker 5 (03:27):
Guys in all the city, he might I mean really
getting a statue. It's like it's he's getting a statue with.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
That pose where he's leaning again, swearing a blue suit.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
If the Lakers win the title. What do you mean if?
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Okay, when the Lakers win the title this year, you
need to take this bet with me. Lakers win the title,
you rename your two children, Nico and Harrison, my future.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
No two you already have. You have to tell them, hey, sorry,
wait wait, wait, breaking news. He's going back for more.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
I tell Jackson, Hey, sorry, I know you've been going
by this for a long time, but you're now Nico.
Speaker 5 (04:02):
If it gets us another championship, I don't think he
would be down.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
All right, very good, Okay, I'm Nico now missus Johnson,
you gotta call me Nico, do.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
You like what Daddy's happy? Here's the proposition.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
This is even my kids, Nico and Harrison. What yeah,
oh that's a big trade. Yeah okay, no, but I'm
not breaking news or anything. That guy's getting he's getting
a statue. I don't know when exactly, but it's happening, dude.
The the the trolling that's gonna happen tonight from the
crowd to Nico Harrison is going to.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Be insane, It really is.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
I mean, and I would guess the what what would
the what would the statue be?
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Nico like on the phone with thumbs up, you know
what that be?
Speaker 2 (04:36):
What it is?
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Yeah, he's sitting having coffee with Rob Polinka. Is it
them staring at each.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
Other, That's what it is, cross sitting across the.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Table and and and they're and they're uh and they're
toasting coffee with each other.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
That's what they're doing.
Speaker 5 (04:49):
Glass around it, like like the picture was oh yeah yeah,
glah yeah yeah oh yeah yeah with the glass yes, okay,
very good.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
What do you call this statue? Fleece?
Speaker 1 (04:58):
It sounds like Frostburg's to design this. Oh no, no, he's
been working on tracked her out and everything.
Speaker 5 (05:03):
Early he was calculating against out the window. Statue was
a go guys for.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Your kids, Nico and Harrison, that's gonna be like, I'm scared,
like dud silly Jerry Coasta.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
He's got a little statues all over. Oh, so here
we go.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Give Christy he's getting his start, so everybody was showing
him some love. So uh yeah, Luca Dauntic is shaking
hands with everybody. Lebron is laughing like a giddy school
kid before tip off. Here Luca is tapping up with
his former teammates. We get ready, and a d is
just sitting on the bench, uh, wearing a light big
(05:41):
light blue fuzzy jacket. And that's the only real, uh
Mavericks thing I see, because I think they banned Mavericks.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Luca donc jerseys from didn't did that? Did that happen
or no they banned the jerseys. I'm not sure.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
I thought I saw that somewhere, but yeah, getting aggressive
right off to jump and missing a jumper, but easy
rebound in a score.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
So Laker's on the board the way we go.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
So here it is Ruey Hachimura the first basket of
the game, rebounding a missed Luca three. Luca took that
first three about ten seconds into the game.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Just wanted to get that one off his chest right away.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Bam, Lakers won the tip, and he said, come on,
come on, this the entire night's he checked night. Come on,
give me the ball, give me he's gonna see you
look the clappy. Give it to me, Give it to me, Give.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
It to me. But I did.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
One of my favorites though, was the shot of him
walking into the arena today after all of the talk
about wow, he's overweight and this that the other like.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Was he really?
Speaker 4 (06:39):
I mean, he's kind of like the James Harden Was
he wearing a fat suiting kind of thing.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
It's not so much about deception and whatever.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
I mean, well, here's the thing, and here's the thing
with Luca went when we talk about him being overweight,
it's not that he's overweight, it's that he doesn't have
as much muscle tone sure as most athletes do. And
he gets tired easy, which is part of not being
in shape. Right, So you see that it's okay, he's
not really You know, you can get by with a
body like that if you're Pete Alonzo and you're playing
first base, hitting fifty home runs a year, it's tough
(07:07):
to get by.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
It's only one year.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
He died fifty just this year, and he'll at fifty
this year because he wants that big contract. So but
when you play basketball, it's kind of tough to get
away with. Okay, this is what I look like. It's like, dude,
don't you get in the gym? Where's your where's your chisel?
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Bit?
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Usually the year one to year two transformation from this
is how I've done it my life. Okay, we're gonna
get rid of the baby fat, We're gonna get rid
of everything else, and you're gonna be much more chiseled,
more in shape, and more more stamina. It took me
while I was fifty one, and here I am. Look,
everybody comes to a road.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
So that's it. But the other thing with Luke, I.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
Think that's been lost in a lot of the conversation,
right when we start comparing ages of guys and and
wear and tear on the body. He has been playing
professionally since he was what like five, So I mean
there's a lot of international play and battles on that body.
So he's not your normal twenty five and you could say, yay,
guys have been played college whatever.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
It's not the same. It's just not no, it's not no.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
That's why when you get you know, hey, training table
in college is great, that's one thing. But when you
get to the NBA, it's a quite there. And usually
the first year they don't go crazy with all right, listen,
come in, get used to the get used to the NBA.
Get you know, instead of playing thirty five games a year,
now you're gonna play double that even more than that.
I know you played a lot of AAU games, but
this is different, the travel. But then after okay, that
(08:26):
first year was great. Now he gets you to the
jim and usually see that mark transformation from year one
to year two. Lucas in year you know, the year six,
year seven, and it's like, yeah, no, I'm still looking
the same. I'm still absolutely looking the same. That's what
it is.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
He just got teed up too, Now what's going on?
Speaker 1 (08:43):
So Luca goes in for a layup and he wants
a foul call and he doesn't get it, and he
stands in front of the ref and he does the
hole slapping of his finger hands together like he wants
the call and he gets teed up.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Which is ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
I mean, he didn't doesn't touch the ref doesn't bump
him coming back down, but clearly the referee the official
did not want anything to do with Luca. Again, Luca
goes in for a layup and he misses, wants a foul,
does the whole slap his hands come on, but he
does it right in front of the referee. The referee
tees him up. Luca's dad is not happy they showed him.
Nico Harrison right now is standing up waving his jacket
(09:24):
over his head.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
He's saying, throw him out, give him another one, give
him another one. Uh like the helicopter. This is this
is where you're at right now.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Lakers leave the Mavericks eleven to five early in the
first quarter. Luca Danchard so far for the Lakers. Again,
he missed that first bucket, but he has since scored.
He's got a couple of points now and again Lakers
up nine to five. We'll have more on this game
coming up, but just spend a couple of minutes on
(09:52):
the other really big story out of basketball today is
that we wave goodbye to the greatest women's basketball player
we've seen, Diana Tarassi decides to hang it up after
a twenty year career in the WNBA. Nobody is decorated
as her three national championships at Yukon, three titles in
the WNBA, Why fourteen all WNBA teams, three MVPs. Like
(10:16):
she's had a six gold medals. Like she's had a
career unlike anybody so far, and it's been awesome to see.
And you know, for her hanging them up today after
twenty years of playing at forty two, she won the
last gold medal this last summer. She started a little
bit but then came off the bench. It really pretty
much took the spot that was going to go to
Caitlin Clark. But you know, she has a career that's
(10:37):
just incredible, and she goes through, she goes through the
beginning of women's basketball where the WNBA was still starting
and trying to get noticed and and on the and
on the big board. And here's where she leaves where
it's the best it's ever been. And it's cut through
to be another big sport. Like in the WNBA, the
w is a thing now it's not like, well, no,
(10:58):
it's you you have, you have baseball at Paul Basketball,
and part of basketball is NBA WNBA Women's college basketball,
Like the w's become a thing, and she's seen it
from its early stages of maybe this can be something,
and we have to keep it going to where it
is right now, leaving it in the hands of Caitlin Clark,
Angel Rehees, Brianna Stewart, Asia Wilson and all these other
big stars now and when it comes down to it,
(11:20):
like this is a big thing to know. This is
a big takeaway from Diana Tarrossi's career. And this is
gonna sound weird, but the best thing about Diana Tarossi
is that all these records that you know, maybe not
six gold medals, but all these records that she holds
are all gonna get smashed. And that's the best part
about her career because when you're playing the WNBA and
(11:42):
the stars aren't there yet and you're playing okay, you
own a lot of records and it's awesome. But now
this new level of superstar that has come in led
by Caitlyn Clark, all her records are gonna go ten
thousand points and WNBA history that's gonna be gone. While
when someone's midway through their career, three pointers, three pointers
in the postseason gone, all of that is going to
be eclipsed because she's going to be known as the
(12:04):
conduit that took W the W NBA from its early stages.
She was the big star. To look where we are
now and look how big the game is now, almost
like Richard Petty and NASCAR to kind of give you
a bigger explanation. King the King, he was the conduit,
right he was. He was the best NASCAR driver for
so long. But it was when NASCAR was still kind
of a cultish sport, and I mean like it was
(12:25):
a it was a cult sports in the South.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
And I mean, now you see the ratings for these
races on Fox better than pretty much anything other than
the NFL.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
But NASCAR was still was still a cult was still
a cult sport. It was still had a rabbit fan base,
but it wasn't that big. And then it got to
the mainstream in the nineties with Dale Earnhardt and Jimmy
Johnson and Jeff Gordon and Sterling Marlin and all these
other great drivers. Dale Earnhard Junior. So now look at
where NASCAR is it's it's it's it's at the peak
of its powers. And that's what Richard Petty is known
(12:55):
at because he was that guy for so long. And
that's Diana Tarassi. And the best thing I can say
is all of her records, which are amazing, are all
gonna get smatched, and that's a great thing.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
But you're gonna have that celebration of her all the
way through twenty years. I mean, the longevity just amazing.
You know, we talked about the MLB ESPN split the
other night. Guess who's there and poised to jump into
some of that as well, some of that money, some
of that airtime, some of that space. It's the WNBA, right,
it's another opportunity for growth and exposure. And Diana Tarassi
(13:25):
with all of these accolades, and you just think twenty
years and leaving while she's still averaging fourteen a game,
still able to play on a high level. Now we're
watching the game change. You're getting that next crop and
really a slew of great players. We talk about the
women's college game all the time that she is that
(13:45):
bridge and celebrating go back to her and you see
some of the others on the broadcasts or that get
the star treatment, right, Whenever Sue Byrd shows up to something,
there she is. Whenever, you know, you look at Rebecca
Lobo as a broadcaster and you get to put up
her accolades and reminder of where this game has long been.
(14:06):
But now just you know, mainstream coming around, as you say,
with NASCAR when it got its juice, when Junior and
Stuart and all those guys were at their peak. So
fun times ahead, no question about it, and a celebration.
Hell of a run, man, is just amazing. She goes,
I am full.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
The endgame statement. I'm full just reading all her accomplishments.
I'm like, yeah, okay, all right, yes, I'm fuck I
got full halfway through the article reading all this time.
I mean, it was crazy, but that's the best part.
All her records are going to get smashed. Speaking of
smashing records, I don't know if he's trying. I told
you he was going to score seventy tonight. Luca might
(14:46):
be on his way. It is nineteen fourteen. Lakers lead
the Mavericks. They just cut to Mark Cuban on the
sideline giving one of those The camera's on me, so
I'm smiling even though I'm really mad. Luca has just
hit hit his second three in the last two minutes.
He has ten already. Midway through the first quarter. Lakers
(15:06):
lead the Mavericks nineteen to fourteen.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Can you read lips? What do you think he said
to them? Avericks bench right there?

that is one of the great lines of radio history.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
I think it was Z one hundred growing up in
New York with Z one hundred, log it in and
rip the nabby.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Does it go to eleven? Ah, that's awesome, So a
d They just showed him.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Of course, Anthony Davis not playing in the game tonight,
still injured. Lakers lead the Mavericks twenty three to eighteen.
It has been a big first quarter so far for
Luka Doncic. He has every single but no, Luka doncas
has has ten points tonight.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
For the Lakers.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
It is a big obvious trolling game, Mark Cuban, Nico Harrison.
Everybody is there gritting their teeth as much as they can.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
Luca's old man, Yeah, Luka eall yeah, everybody, everybody who
was anybody in this trade is there tonight.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
But they did have a nice moment.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
They showed Anthony Davis on the Jumbo Trump that had a
big standing ovation for him. Nice moment for him, even
though he is not playing the night sitting on the bench.
Did work out a little bit before the game, took
some shots, but clearly not the not the Luca moment
that he has he is. Actually, I'm sorry I gave
him one more point than he has.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
That's all right, Luca Is.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
It's two and a half to go in the first quarter.
Luca is nine seven and four, nine points, seven rebound,
four assists.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
Are they gonna get to five by five? Yes, I know.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
I don't think he has five turnovers. Again, he is
nine seven and four tonight so far midway and this
is late in the first quarter.
Speaker 4 (19:34):
Yeah, he's playing like a man possessed. I mean that
haircut I think made a more aerodynamic as well.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Timms would say, hey, I would take that from a
guy off the bench for the entire game for us,
if they.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
Could go nine, that would be a cumulative of your
bench players. You would take that right now.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
I'll take nine, nine, seven and four from those three
guys in the five minutes they're gonna play.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Oh take it. So a twenty five to twenty lead
for the Lakers over the Mavericks. Meanwhile, not to be
out deciding I'm gonna really show up tonight, Kyrie Irving
already has fourteen in the game here, So Kyrie said, hey, hey, hey,
why why it's not about me? All of a sudden,
I want it to be about me. So twenty five
twenty is the score again about two minutes ago in
the first quarter, and it is just up and down
(20:17):
the floor. It is an epic night so far. We'll
keep you updated on this throughout the night.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
But two big.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
So we got a bunch of big stories now from
the NFL because teams are arriving at the combine and
we're getting gms and head coaches talking and they're all
saying good things, almost like they had a big meeting
with Roger Goodelli said, hey, listen, we got to take
the new cycle back. So say good things when you
talk to reporters. Don't just be bland and not say anything.
Say something good. And we got good things today.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Hype man for the new year. Did they bring out
pit Bull with his glove?
Speaker 4 (20:50):
I know, ladies and gentlemen here to get you ready
for your combine.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Now.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
The first star that we're pretty sure is coming back
for next season now chief tied in Travis kelce This
is because earlier today their GM Brett Veach said, oh yeah, yeah, no,
I'm expecting a big, motivated Travis Kelcey.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
Back in twenty five, how we left at the end of.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
The season is that he was fired up.
Speaker 6 (21:14):
He has one more year under contract, and you still
think he has that prior and desire to play.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
And as far as I'm concerned, right there is no deadline.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
I think we left it as he'd be back and
it'd be excited to get it back.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Okay, And remember when we told you when this came up,
this was about money. This is Matthew Stafford light. Okay,
you want to know what this is really about. When
we first heard after the Super Bowl, Kelsey said, I
don't know, it takes some time. Don't want to make
a hasty decision. We told you right away. No, this
is about money. Anytime someone talks about retirement, first thing
(21:44):
you do go look at their contract. And this is
the last year of Travis Kelsey's deal. It's the biggest
payday he'll ever get in the rest of his NFL career.
No matter what you do for a podcast, you're not
going to make eleven million dollars a year on a podcast.
And with this being the final year of his contract
and him slowing down, I am sure he was pushing
and the final bit of leverage to try to get
(22:07):
a new deal to play another couple of years. Because
remember it was three days before the super Bowl when
Travis Kelsey said they was asked, what are you doing
in three years hopefully still playing? I feel great, I'm motivated,
this is awesome. Oh you lost the super Bowl, So
now sudden you know if you want to play anymore.
This is a contract thing, and it's Matthew Stafford light
because both sides feel the same way as the Rams
of Matthew Stafford about money. Matthew Stafford wants more money.
(22:30):
The Rams don't want to give it to him. But
that's gotten combative. And now now the Rams have allowed
Matthew Stafford to go out and potentially get his own deal.
If you want, we could trade you someplace else whereas
the Chiefs have been hey, hey, hey, yeah, we know
what you're doing, not falling for it. All the Chiefs
have said to a man was hey, take your time.
We love you. We're hoping you come back next year.
(22:51):
We're not gonna replace you as a tight end. We
love you. Nope, not hearing the stuff about money, Gonna
ignore it, didn't hear it, Gonna keep going forward.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
We love you, Take your time.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Because Travis Kelsey doesn't want it to get combative, doesn't
want it to get this way. But this is what
you're seeing. And Kelsey threw out that little bit of
I don't know, I'm gonna take some time, and clearly
the Chiefs haven't gone for it. There's gonna be no
new money for Travis Kelcey, no new deal, none of this.
They know that, hey, great, he's a great ambassador for
the team. He's still a top five tight end, you
(23:22):
know five ish tight end going into this year. Still
out of you know, that kind of year last year,
but obviously his skills are deteriorating and the Chiefs want
to move on. Are you gonna get better at tight
end this offseason? Probably not so. One more year Travis
Kelsey is okay, but they're not going to extend him.
But they're keeping that message of positivity. If we love you,
take your time. What about the make.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
Don't bring up money. Now, we love you, take your time.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
This is Matt Stafford light, but this is exactly what
Kelsey wanted. He's not gonna get it, but he will
come back. Like we said when this went on, he
will come back for one more year. He's still playing
at a decent enough level. He's not gonna get paid,
even though that's what this is all about.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
I mean, you had a bunch of reports, and something
else each broached in his comments was that, you know,
Kelsey was really sick, as were a lot of guys
on both sides. We were getting that report towards the
end of the week. Look flu's going around. Take care
of yourselves people. I mean, we've got guys getting filled
left and right around the schools and workplaces in America.
And if you're six, stay the hell home. All of
(24:19):
that to say, you know, part of that when we
get into the discussion of wanting to come back right
in the PostScript, he had.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
A miserable game.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
It was a miserable three and a half hours, and
in the immediate see of it, you're like.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
Yeah, I've done I don't want this anymore, screw this.
Speaker 4 (24:36):
And then fifteen hours later you get some pedia light
in you, a little bit of sleep, You're like, I'm
ready to go, and I have nineteen million reasons to
come back, right Because as much as you've got all
this stuff on the outside, that's great unless you're still
playing football, and in the public view there, I think
that wanes a little bit, and then you screw Jason
too because you're gonna take some money out of his pocket.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
Oh, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
He's got the late night shown now at all kinds
of stuff. Everybody still love Jason kelce I.
Speaker 4 (25:03):
Want one of those. I could probably get as many
people to watch. The Eagles offensive line was better without him.
It's better on television.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
Wow, look at that hot Tay Hot Tay future Hall
of Famer. The better without you.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
But for Kelsey, right, it still was over ninety catches,
but was at what eight point four eight point five
yards per per catch? So you know that's down, but
you also were missing one of your big hayes. Open
up the field and give him opportunities, Like, there's a
lot to get excited about if this offense comes back
because zavi'er worthy started to show out the second half
(25:35):
of the year. Yeah, you've got to fix the old line.
But for Travis Kelcey a lot of money to come
back and you can play that. I think the Chiefs
legitimately and he still want to be in, you know,
in business together. I'm not so sure the Rams really care,
which is why they said, hey, Matt, go go and
see what else is out there knowing that there's so
many desperate teams like, yeah, go ahead.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
But that's the thing is that, Hey, Travis Scott, we're
being nice. I love being a chief.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
What about a little bit. Yeah, we're not going to
do the money thing, boy, but I could retire. Yeah,
but boy, we're really not going to give you money. Okay,
let's keep it all surfacing in light.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
But if you do, it's just like a party when
the Hey, we're at odds with somebody. But let's keep
it surfacing in light. Let's sweep it a mile. Sweep
it under the rug. Would you like some of the shrimp?
Here you go, sweep it. This is not Luca and
Nico Harrison the first game back and they're staring at
each other.
Speaker 4 (26:20):
Sweep it under the rug. Did you see Luca was
doing push ups in the pregame too. The other thing is,
you know, when you're you're each and you've got some
things you obviously need to address both defensively on the
D line.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
You need some more help.
Speaker 5 (26:33):
Right.
Speaker 4 (26:33):
Jones was hurt and banged up a little bit in
the Super Bowl, attributed to the push push or not.
Carl Loftus is there, but you need some a little
more support there in the front seven, but definitely need offense.
One nineteen million dollars helps you get there. Plus the
augmented salary cap. There's a lot of gaps. So I
was like, all right, we love you, Travis, but we
(26:55):
can play this game too.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
X at how about a fresca X It's Swallen Dome
Jason Smith, Mi Carmen. We told you at the beginning,
this was about money. Travis Kelsey's coming back. He's not
gonna turn eleven and a half million. Maybe they do
something fun for him at the end, when when they've
bought all their free agents have money, We'll give you
a little bit more, another five hundred grand. We'll do
something as a bonus. That's what's gonna happen. He's gonna
(27:19):
come back. It was about money. They're calling his bluff.
He's gonna move on. Time out to find out what's
trending in the wide world of sports. A guy who's
been called the Jason Kelcey of foxports audio universal praise
for what he does, but then when he doesn't do
it for a year or so, they realize the updates
is still pretty good without him, it's Steve the Seger.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
I'm sure that will be the case. We have fine
coworkers here.
Speaker 6 (27:44):
Honestly, when you started the paragraph, I thought you were
gonna say, and people call him the Jason Smith of Thos.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
Oh really? Oh okay, Hi compliment. There we go. I'll
try to find a shoehorn that in at some point.
Speaker 6 (27:56):
We just ended the first quarter in LA Lakers leading
the Dallas Mavericks twenty twenty. Luka Donsich now with LA,
played the first ten minutes of that opening period, had
nine points, seven rebounds, just one three pointer. A second
one that did go in was later not counted after
video review because he stepped on the sideline.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
As I saw Nico Harrison standing at the replay booth
grabbing the official.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
By the lapels, going that's a two, that's a two.
Speaker 6 (28:22):
He tapped the top of his head like Major League
Baseball and said, I want to go to the video review.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
He's just standing at the entire game doing the wind
up with his hands.
Speaker 6 (28:31):
Go look at it, Go look at it, Go look
at it. They started overtime at Memphis. The Grizzlies are
leading one forty two to one forty over the Phoenix
Suns and the other late games. At Golden State, It's
Warriors twenty eight eighteen over the Hornets at the end
of one. Hornets without Lamello ball tonight out due to
a bad ankle. New Orleans was fourteen and forty three,
but edge San Antonio one oh nine one oh three.
(28:53):
It combined thirty nine turnovers in that game. Houston came
back to beat Milwaukee one hundred to ninety seven. Boston
won at six in a row, winning at Toronto one
to eleven, one oh one, and Cleveland won it's eighth
straight one twenty two eighty two at Orlando. Kawhi Leonard
of the Clippers is off the injury report for tomorrow.
He's missed the last two games with the sore foot.
The Clippers this weekend will play the Lakers on Friday
(29:15):
and Sunday nights. For Philadelphia, Joel Embiid will miss another
game Wednesday. He's having tests on his knee this week.
To college basketball, Georgia at home upset number three Florida
eighty eight eighty three, and Oklahoma State at home its
beaten number nine Iowa State seventy four sixty eight. Fifth
ranked Tennessee extending its lead to fifty three forty four
(29:35):
at LSU with about seven minutes to go. Also in progress,
nineteenth ranked Louisville has tied at Virginia Tech fifty three,
all nine minutes to go. The Atlanta Foulcons say Kirk
Cousins will stay with the team as a backup quarterback.
Kansas City says it expects tight end Travis Kelsey to
keep playing. The Bills gave wide receiver Khalil Shaki a
(29:56):
four year extension. The Colts say they'll add competition at
quarterback for Anthony Richardson. Among the twelve NHL games, Toronto
came back for an overtime win at Boston five to four,
and the Washington Nationals resigned closer Kyle Finnegan to a
one year deal.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
Back to you, Thank you, Steve O, Jason Smith, Mike
Carmon Live Inthetirack dot Com Studios. Now we have the
other big NFL story coming up and decide it looks
like Travis Kelsey's coming back. But we want to say
this because you know we mentioned this tonight the biggest
game of the night in the NBA Lakers and the
Mavericks and Steve just gave you the updates on it.
Speaker 5 (30:26):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Incredible game going on right now in Memphis, Sons in
the Grizzlies one forty six to one forty four. Sons
have the lead this game in overtime again, one forty
six to one forty four. This is a game with
Booker and kd and and John Morant in a great season.
The Grizzlies are having. Get in for this game tonight,
(30:49):
earlier today, get in for this game. Not one, not two,
not three.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
Four dollars.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
That's with fees. No, it was with THEE. No, come on, man,
I'm telling you, good guy, you can't be I saw
that earlier.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
That can't be. No that No, there's no way. So
what is it? Two dollars? It was two dollars plus fees. Yeah,
no way, no way. No, I saw it. We saw it.
We went back and forth on that earlier.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
I unbelieve the way you guys are losing four dollars
with THEE with fee.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
It's everything.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
I mean, obviously, got a park and I put the
tickets in my cart, and I go through all that,
I check all the things, yes, yes, yes, yes yes,
and I come out with four dollars. It's not suddenly seventeen. No,
and when you pulled up, Katie parked your car.
Speaker 4 (31:38):
What's insane with this also is as we sat down
in the studio, as we're getting ready to take off
and start watching the the Lakers get after it, we
had that game on.
Speaker 5 (31:47):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (31:47):
John Moran was just having this miserable night where he
he was zero for eight from three and really hadn't
it a shot.
Speaker 3 (31:53):
Now he's up to twenty nine points, so he's still
having a miserable night.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
He's still seven out of twenty five, but he's been
perfect from the foul line eight for fourteen to get
him over.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
Yeah, I don't. I gotta think nights like this.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
I subscribe to the philosophy of hey, if you're if
you're if you're missing your shots, this is the basket.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
Go go ahead, buddy, go get it. I'm not gonna
put you on the free throw.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
This is not your night, man. Let go to the
bed there it is, go shoot, go do whatever you
want to do. I mean really, that's what I would do.
Speaker 4 (32:18):
And then he's got to be careful because with that frame, man,
you know, every hit is one. That's a problematic situation
with fees, with fee with fee.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
Can you show me proof of that, because I really
show not that I think line of me, but I
think maybe you miss something, because I can't believe.
Speaker 3 (32:32):
There's I was the report.
Speaker 4 (32:33):
I didn't go and try to check out myself to
verify it.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
Can't believe you're questioning it. You're gonna pay two dollars
in fee? Hey, I get this ticket for two dollars
you have? What about the fees? It's as much as
the tickets. Uh, okay, I'm good. I think i'm good.
I think i'm good. I think I'm going in there.
You go, well, we're again. It goes, it goes in
my cart, and then it says, oh, here's your ticket fee.
Here's your entrance fee. Here's your parking fee. Here's your
(32:58):
tax for driving on the road out side great, here's
your tax for using the website. Here's a time spent
on the website and all there. Yes, Look, psychologically, I can't.
I can't tell you what that cost is to be
buying a ticket to see the Suns. Four dollars that's
for you to decide. Okay, Well, hey, at least with
that four dollars, you're seeing a great one. Hey, you
got a lot of points, sure, but coming up next
(33:19):
a former NFL superstar is he really thinking about coming
back to play? And it's not Tom Brady. That's straight
ahead right here, Jason and Mike Fox Sports Radio. If

at interested to see.
Speaker 5 (39:00):
It.
Speaker 4 (39:00):
Right it's a position where we've, got, uh there's, depth
but there's several guys that moved the, needle and certainly
as a media personality he. Has it's a team that's
on the come a. Bit Bo, NICKS i think exceeded
expectations for most can remember because he was fighting With
peyton early in the year or there's so it. Seemed
and then down the stretch you see With Courtland sutton
(39:21):
became and and what they had had a viable running
back and put him in to where you've got a
couple of burners on the. Edges he could have a
bit of an. Impact AND i think anybody would Take
kelsey's year overall ninety four was it ninety? Four catches
guy and you can tell he's on the, way there's no. Question,
yeah the explosiveness isn't. There but he could sit down
(39:43):
in his zone just as well as he ever. Did
and he caught one hundred passes for eighty eight to
eight for eight hundred. Yards it's not, monster not quite
as dynamic ash as he used to. Be, no but
you know the old Gray, mayor she ain't what she
used to. Be and at some point and you have
the physical diminished skills and also what the offense can.
Do he still needs to pretend to block more THAN
(40:04):
i Think kelsey, did and that's one Thing gronk was
always a bit underrated, on so he could.
Speaker 3 (40:08):
Help that process as.
Speaker 4 (40:10):
Well i'd love to see it again when these guys
come back or stick around another.
Speaker 3 (40:15):
