Thomas the round of his life. I mean, he's eleven
under par right now. He's got the eighteenth all to play,
which is difficult, but he just burned the seventeen. College
basketball is everywhere. The only thing not happening are Lakers
players playing tonight. See all those circles on Justin Thomas's scorecard, Kerry,
(00:45):
those are all birdies. Oh, those are all birdies. There's
not a square on there for a bogie man. Justin

a course record at Tpcsawgrass of sixty one. That's a
way to go into the weekend. Don't worry, We're gonna

Speaker 2 (01:25):
Ready now, yes, Sam, how do you feel about taking
part in Initial Descent?
Speaker 3 (01:32):
We're staring each other down, getting ready for the show
down here. I have no idea what this game is about.
I only knows the name, and I can't even really
gather much from the name.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
So they've been friends for long, right, but today they
face off in a showdown like no other, hosted by
Moncey Belanos and Dan Byer. Carrie Rhodes and Iowa Sam
step into the gauntlet. Gauntlet not gauntlet, even though it's lent.
You know what I meant it is? It is Initial Descent, Right.

all right, I can get back to Yeah, I like
the dramas. All that very good, gotta check it off.
We are broadcasting lot at the tire dot Com studios.
(02:50):
Tyrec dot com will help you get there. An unmatch selection,
fast free shipping, free road as a protection. You know,
over ten thousand recommended in stallers tirec dot com. The
way tire buying should. I feel golf is z apropos
because there was a story this week at the Players
Championship that grabbed some headlines. I don't know if it
grabbed national headlines, but during a practice round earlier this week,
(03:12):
Rory McElroy was teeing off on I believe the eighteenth
hole and hit a hook into the water on eighteen.
Rory is a Masters went away from completing the career
Grand Slam. It's one of us Open. He's won the
PGA Championship a couple of times, he's won the Open Championship.
He just needs the Masters to complete the career Grand Slam.
(03:36):
And oddly enough in twenty eleven, when Rory didn't have
any majors, he was on the verge of winning the
twenty eleven Masters going into the final run when he
had a four shot lead that quickly evaporated. And the
lasting image of Rory McElroy on that afternoon on Sunday
was him standing next to a cabin on the property
of Augusta National that no one had ever seen before,
(03:58):
because no player in the Masters had ever hit a
golf ball where that cabin was. It was so far
left carry that it was actually right, no, but it was.
It was way off. It's a dog leg left. He
hit a hook that hooked, that hooked, that hooked, and
there's a shot of Rory as his lead as evaporated.
He's next to this cabin with no shot and at
(04:20):
that point you knew it was over. Rebounded greatly when
the US Open a couple of months later, and then
his major career took off. But Rory hasn't won a
major in a decade, and came close last year at
the US Open. I know it's been it's been a while.
Came close to the US Open last year but failed,
but at the practice round this week he hit a
duck hook into the water on eighteen the hole that
(04:42):
Justin Thomas is playing right now, and a spectator who
will get to in a second more information about him, said,
just like the twenty eleven Masters. Okay, you laugh, you laugh,
that's funny. Rory did not laugh. Rory turned around, walked
to the spectator. The spectator had his phone, who was
(05:04):
a twenty one year old kid, and Roy said, can
I see that? I see your phone? And he took
the phone and walked away.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Ultimately the fan got his phone back, but the fan
was escorted from the property. As it turns out, the
fan is a twenty one year old collegiate golfer at
the University of Texas. That just what a tournament in
the area recently. A pretty darn good player. So this
is this is surprising to me because of that dynamic,
(05:32):
because I think that a college kid would know the
pressures of golf, and while you wouldn't know the Masters,
would understand that, hey, this is a this is a
peer that I'm looking up to or hopefully appear if
my collegiate career can expand to a professional career at
some point. It's it's a very weird way of trash talking.
(05:54):
And that's what I want to ask you carry Rhodes
because this is innocent, But is that crossing the line
if you're someone who also plays competitive golf? Did this
fan cross the line? Didn't swear? All he did was
bring up a bad memory, and Rory McElroy took offense
to does Rory have thin skin? Does he have rabbit ears?
(06:16):
You hear this scenario, what do you think about it?
It's layered.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
So number one, Rory, if you're listening, let it go, man, heal,
take care of yourself. That's that that's coming gone. You
should have evolved by now to a different person and
that moment should be long gone. Right now, right, that's
that would be the first thing I say to Rory,
(06:42):
right because it's fourteen years ago. It let it go.
The second thing is an interesting point that you brought
up with the guy being a collegiate player that I'm
sure has that you said is a really good player
that has aspirations to do that. What would you do
in that situation? Would you want somebody to do what
you just did and heckle them about a shot that like, again,
(07:03):
there's been ten years ago or whatever how long it's been,
why would you even bring that up, and why would
you have that confrontation with somebody that you may have
to face later on down the line, who, by the way,
is and has been one of the best players in
the game of golf, you know, at a period of time. Right,
So I don't know what the angle was. I would
think the angle is for him to get the attention,
(07:24):
because now we live in a society where you can
go viral or you can have those moments, and so
for me, I would see it for that reason. So
next thing, you know, now we're talking about this guy.
We know, we know hit some of his background, we
know that he's a player, we know that he has
probably aspiration. So I think that, more than anything would
be the reason he did that to get attention. Is
(07:45):
that an excuse?
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Is that an excuse to say I just got caught
up in it, I got caught up in the social
media world? Does that Is that enough of an excuse
to say, hey, I messed up?
Speaker 1 (08:01):
It's not an excuse. I think it's for him. There
would have been obviously that moment happened organically, but in
the back of his mind he knew obviously because he
was at that spot, he was following Rory, he was
seeing Rory at that point that if he had the chance,
he was going to take that opportunity to interact in
(08:22):
any way. And that was the interaction.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
This is and this is, this is why I think
this is so unique because I don't think the Luke
Potter is the twenty one year old's name. Luke Potter
plays golf at the University of Texas.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
I didn't say his name, but why protect him? He
said what he said, released the statement apologizing. They even
had his coach release a statement. And we don't know
if there's going to be any discipline or not. But
it's just odd. Golf is different than everything else. I
said to you prior to the show. I remember the
time when the guy and I think it was in Philadelphia,
(08:55):
gave Russell Westbrook the double bird to his face and
Russell Westbrook is like, who is this guy?
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Right?
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Like, can we get this guy out of there? And
not going over there and charging him at any point.
Of course, the kid didn't say anything that was vulgar,
didn't say anything that was.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
I guess.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Unkindly unseemingly nothing You know, no cuss words anything, just
brought up a bad memory. Now, I'll tell you what.
Every time Scott Norwood after he kicked for the Buffalo
Bills went into another stadium, Yeah, what'd you probably hear?
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Why? Right? Right? Yeah? But isn't that what this is?
Speaker 2 (09:39):
And like, as a golf fan and someone who likes golf,
to me, it's really really out of pocket. But when
I step and I look at all the other the
arena that you played in for eight years of your
professional career, I would think that you would have heard
much worse from fans than this situation. But is you know,
(10:00):
is it different? Is this different because the silence? Is
it different because it's an individual sport? Like I'm trying
to weigh this and even figure this out because I
feel it's more heavier. But then again, I see the
guy giving Russell Westbrook the double bird, and Westbrook's just like,
get this guy out of here.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
That's probably the way to handle it. Well, probably the
etiquette of it, right, Like you're you're a golf fanatic.
You somebody actually plays a game and follows it really closely,
and so the etiquette you know better than me. I
obviously know it I mean, I know it's quiet on
the green, and like, I know, you give that respect
to the golfers and let them do what they do.
It's such a thinking game, and you know in all
games are, but it's very like it. It's inches, it's
(10:40):
like inches upon inches of where any kind of distraction
for a golfer. It seems like they're a little bit
more fragile when it comes to the mindset of like, no,
this is this is my sanctuary. It's very quiet. We
know the rules, we know what we know, we know
what we know. What when you go to a golf match,
this is what is expected. Right where in football of
(11:02):
basketball you can come you'll come in to be rowdy.
So you have a couple of a couple of beverages
and you lose yourself in a moment of being rowdy.
It's kind of part of it now, throwing the birds,
He's lucky Russell Westbrook didn't slap them, sure, right, right, absolutely,
But with this it's just somebody saying something like somebody
saying something to me that's not gonna affect me to
(11:24):
the point of taking their phone and escorting them out.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Yeah, I remember I mentioned Scott Norwood maybe a more
recent example would be Cody Parky when you know, even
had the double doink for the Bears. By the way,
the double doink is also just awful luck that it
would hit that, it would hint the crossbar or hit
the upright and then hit the crossbar. Yeah, and and
(11:47):
be knocked out. It could have been could have knocked in,
could have been that scenario. That's the part that I'm
where I would think that Cody Parky probably heard about
this time and time again whenever he took the field
again and whatever uniform if you're trying to get under
his skin, and it's kind of I feel like something
like that is almost fair game.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Yeah, Dan, I've dropped. I dropped an interception two thousand
and I can remember. I know that the exact day
and time like. It was a big game against Miami.
They were number two in the country. We were at
number nine. Ten, We're in an Orange Bowl. We're winning.
I had an excellent game. I picked off the Pats earlier,
almost another one, but to win the game, to close
out the game, I had a chance to intercept the
(12:28):
ball and win the game. I got there so fast
that I dropped the ball. I heard everything. I still
get messages from people from Louisville, like just sporadically, it
could be a Miami game. It'd be like, yeah, I
remember carry Rolls dropped dead in the septh I'm like,
hold love man, relaxed. All right, that was thirty years
ago and you still But I don't take it personally.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Like Okay, move on, yeah, yeah, you hit the shot.
Rory won majors after that point. That's the point is
and I'm a I would say that I'm I've always
enjoyed Rory McElroy. It's weird being a fan of people
who are younger than me, but I would say that
I'm a fan of his. I've always liked watching him play.
(13:11):
It just feels like it's thin skin.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
It is.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
You're a former player. Bo Benson is a fan. Moncy
Bolanos is a fan. I want to ask you, Iowa
Sam as a fan.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Bo.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
When you hear Rory McElroy being heckled like that and
then going to the extreme of taking a phone and
having a fan ejected, who is a twenty one year
old player at the University of Texas, Is it thin
skin or does golf make it different?
Speaker 4 (13:40):
I think because it's golf, like you don't expect a
golfer to kind of have a reaction, but also like
it's much more intimate in the video, like the guy's
right next to where Rory is, you know, doing his thing.
It's different, but it's also like I don't want to
say part of it is on the athlete, but like
Carry just said, like you kind of expected I think
at some point, like I thought the lamest thing ever
(14:01):
in sports was Russell Rustbrook getting mad at people taunting him.
With Westbrook, I thought that was so goofy, and then
his explanation afterwards of like, you know, it's my name
and blah blah blah, Like no, you just don't like it,
that's fine, but you're gonna get that. You have to
accept that being an athlete in the public sphere and
especially going into like visiting the arenas. I guess in
Westbrook's case it was at his home arena, which he
(14:21):
didn't like. But yeah, I think this is just different
because it's golf and you don't expect it in golf.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Yeah, it's completely it's odd to hear like you would
have players trash talk each other if they're in a
money game or stuff like that. But it's also an
individual sport. I'm not saying individual athletes don't get heckled.
Sergio Garcia would get heckled a lot. But this isn't
(14:47):
like there was a groundswell of people that were hanging
out watching this.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
This was a practice round.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Rory is popular, but there weren't tons of people around
at that time, you know, I just it just is.
It's weird to me, and I think it's uncalled for.
And I don't know why I feel that way, because,
as I said, Russell Westbrook and I'm not even talking
about Wes Brick Westbrook. Other things and then have been said,
(15:15):
two athletes have been far worse, probably by fans in
a football scenario or a basketball scenario or a baseball scenario.
Manzi is Rory MACAROI does he have thin skin? Should
we expect something different? If somebody says, hey, you hit
a bad shot fourteen years ago, remember that.
Speaker 5 (15:34):
So I think the golf, it being golf is a
big factor in it. I'm trying to look up the
video because I didn't see how close he was. But
if this dude is within my arms distance, I'm grabbing
the phone it would be out of my face.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Rory walked up to him, so he was probably about
he was probably about fifteen yards away from the tea box,
maybe ten yards away enough for Rory to turn around,
hit the t shot, walk the ten yards, ask the
kid for his phone. He's twenty one year old, to
call him a kid. Then Rory grabbed the phone and
walked away.
Speaker 5 (16:03):
I'm looking at it. Yeah, I mean, it's actually funny
how calm he did it. He's just like, can I
see your phone?
Speaker 3 (16:08):
Great?
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Thank you, monk away, make a little give the golfers
a little bit more space.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Didn't say anything about his family, didn't say anything about
you know, that was out of bounce. Well except the shot.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
That was Yeah.
Speaker 5 (16:21):
Yeah, because it's golf. I feel like, naturally, it's more
intimate of a sport, just naturally.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
And it's Carrie pointed out, etiquette is a part of
the sport.
Speaker 5 (16:29):
It is. Yeah, yeah, I have no I have no
problem with the Rory Mcalroy did.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Yeah. I'm sorry guys Westbrook at home. It's the kind
of nuts though up there. Yeah, absolutely, that's kind of tough.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Yeah, absolutely, okay, but I feel better for feeling bad
for I feel bad that Rory had this, but again,
it's not the worst thing that you could you could
yell at.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
No, it could have been so much worse. Obviously, go yeah, Iowa, Sam.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Didn't Rory sort of have an issue with the last
US Open where he was in position to win it
and he did he like take off in his.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Car or something, did not meet the media.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
Yeah, and he you know, And I think this is
just the definition of like striking a nerve, hitting a nerve.
If you're that that young man saying that to him,
and it hit a nerve with Rory, I would say this, Uh,
you don't have to turn your phone over to anybody,
Rory McElroy, the president, the FBI, unless you have a
lawyer like.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Should By just say you're not gonna know that your
phone is like your passport.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
No, he didn't.
Speaker 6 (17:31):
He could have.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
He could have just walked away.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
What did Rory do with his phone?
Speaker 2 (17:35):
He the guy ended up getting his phone bat so
I assume he gave it to security And that's weird.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
But did I think he understood that He's like, oh,
I I just drew the eye of Rory.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
I'm just gonna like instinctively, no, I think he just
wanted to throw it in the water and realized that
he shouldn't. That like the walk allowed him to think
a little bit more clearly.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
I think I think I would say this, what was
that young man's name again, that the Guechtluke Luke Potter,
Luke Potter. Maybe we have we struggled sometimes, especially men
with impulsivity. Maybe he impulsively just blurted that out, and
then Rory impulsively just walked over there and was like,
just give me your phone, and like they neither side
thought things out.
Speaker 5 (18:20):
He the guy that the kid right was a golfer.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Yes, yes, he plays it.
Speaker 5 (18:24):
I feel like that's why, because he's come out and
he's apologized right like straight up. I think because he's
a golfer, he realized that maybe he just kind of yeah,
didn't respect the game that he plays.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
And now we're telling all his friends that Rory had
his phone. Yeah you know it's there's video, there's video
of it. Yeah. Then you know the New TGL. This
is Sam bringing this up.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Rory missed a putt on the in the New Simulator
League and one of the one of the team, like
twitter sites tweeted, just like the US Open.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
There you go like that would tick me off. That
would have getten me. If I can't hit in the simulator, No,
that'd be a problem.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
And and and the US Open is much more like
the put The putt that he missed on eighteen, the
seventy second hole on Sunday was a difficult pap, but
the one that he missed on sixteen was definitely there's
no excuse for missing that putt. That would hurt me
more than something that happened fourteen years ago.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Yeah, it's just it's it's it's been sensitive. It's you
have to heal gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, he'll with yourselves, please.
Old wounds should not make you impulsively take phones from people.
It's it's maybe it's crazy.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
He should have just Frean mccaffreydom well, right, right, let's
give him a couple uh.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
Well, the words the ref that eventually, well, I think
Fran was working on that ref and trying to draw
attention to the foul disparity, and the ref had enough
and he teed him up, and maybe Rory had enough,
and it was finally the straw that broke the camel's back.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Yeah, and If Rory says bleep you to the guy,
that's all we hear because we don't have audio of
him saying just like the twenty eleven Masters, And when
that comes out, it's it's still Rory dropped an F
bomb on someone, And but it wouldn't be good.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
What looks better dan like him actually dropping the F
bomb or snatched in his phone like a little kid,
like if you're trying, if you're trying to prove a point, well,
remember Connor McGrath, I don't demand it. I demanded.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
I think if he says something that I think that
actually looks worse than him calmly walking up, grabbing the
phone and walked away. It may seem petty, but I
think Rory got his you know whereabouts is wherewithal as
he walked and realized, Okay, I really didn't have a
plan here phone, so let's just give it to somebody
(20:45):
like I probably shouldn't have done that. But if he
would have said a bleep you, we would have had
that audio. We would be playing it here on drops.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
Yeah, if Rory had like carried out his plan and
like grabbed his phone and thrown it in the water, Yes,
and threw an F bomb at the guy, and we
found out that it was because he said just like
twenty eleven.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Huh. We would all been like, oh.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
Wow, Rory, that's really a horrible reaction just for us
coming like that. It's not like, as I mentioned you earlier,
like when Jason Kelsey grabbed somebody's phone when he was
walking through Penn stateum and broke it because of what
he said about his brother. That's a more reasonable reaction.
I applaud Jason Kelsey when he did that. I would
not have been happy if Rory destroyed his phone.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
I also think Kelsey's response was warranted in the fact
of listen, you or anybody else, you just can't say
whatever you want to say. And since it was like
in public, like Rory's inside the Ropes playing a practice
round at this point, so there are some rules there.
But I think that's maybe the rule that Rory wanted
(21:44):
to say is listen, you can come to this event,
you could do whatever, but you don't have the right
to try to become viral and say whatever you feel
like you want to say. And I think that was
the point that he was trying to make. He just
didn't necessarily think it all through because it happened so fast,
and then realized that at the end that he probably
wasn't gonna throw a phone into the water.
Speaker 4 (22:02):
It'd be funny if this was all promo for happy
Gilmore too, though I was.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Gonna say, everybody seems to be in it. I think
everybody has.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
Every golfer human being has their happy guilt, their unhappy
Gilmore inside them that like can just like you know,
he he struggles with anger in the movie and finally
gets hold of it, and it's where he kind of
masters his his skills. But yeah, I just think that
he touched a nerve.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Honestly, I just think that Carrie's professional football, baseball, basketball
all get it one hundred times worse. But the setting
that golf is in and the individual sport that is
allowed this to rise to that occasion.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Oh man, you guys, I think we're all getting sensitive
here because that is super sensitive to me.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Don't drop an interception against Miami, then, Carrie, if you
uh he is Carrie dan Byer, I dropped an interception
my junior year in high school and we were zero
to nine, and it still bothers me. We didn't win
a game all year and then it made the difference.
Dan could then have made the difference was losing by
nine instead of the sixteen that we lost.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Now this sounds like an episode of Little Giants.
Speaker 2 (23:03):

in the world of sports, like men's college hoops. No surprise,
but Cooper Flagg Dukestar has been officially ruled out for
(25:30):
today's ACC semi final game against North Carolina. What's happened already?
At the Big Ten quarterfinals, Number seven Michigan State and
eighteen thranked Wisconsin both won their matchups, so they're going

to seventy two win over Texas and third ranked Auburn

defeated Ole Miss sixty two to fifty seven. At the
AAC quarterfinals, Number sixteen Memphis survived eighty three to eighty
against Swichita State. Iowa has parted ways with coach fran
McCaffrey after fie fifteen seasons in women's college hoops. I
don't know if you guys heard this. USC star Juju
Watkins has signed an exclusive multi year deal with Fanatics
and Fanatics Collectibles, that's the company's trading card division. She's
(26:12):
the first female college athlete to sign such a deal
with Fanatics.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
You go, girl.
Speaker 5 (26:17):
And in baseball, guys, hey, Clay Holmes is going to
be the Mets opening day starter in Houston, Carlos Rodin
will be the Yankees opening day start because they don't
have anybody else against Milwaukee, and Zach Eflin will be
the Orioles opening day starter in Toronto.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Back to you, guys, thank you very much.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Monsei, don't go anywhere because you and I are going
to co host this duel lady as a gentleman. It's
Caveno and Rich live from the tireq dot Com studios,
and we bring you Initial Descent. Initial Descent is the
name of the game. As Carrie Rhodes and iowas Sam
go heads ahead in trying to decipher if the initials
(26:54):
we give you are actual conferences that hand out automatic
bids for the NCAA tournament. Monsie and I have a
list of some that are right and some that are wrong.
Carry and Iowa Sam have to decipher. We are going
to alternate. Carrie, you call it in the air heads
or tails. Tails never fails. It's tails.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
You chose. Do you want to go first or second
in this.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Let that punk go first, okay, Iowa Sam, I'm gonna
give you. I'm gonna give you. I'm gonna give you initials,
mostly initials. And you have to tell me if it's
a real college basketball league that gives an automatic berth
or a fake one?
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Okay, Okay, the ABC, the ABC.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
Is that a real conference that gives out an automatic
birth or did we just make this up?
Speaker 3 (27:47):
That is ABC is made up?
Speaker 1 (27:50):
That is correct?
Speaker 2 (27:51):
I went first then, because that was it's the home
to TGIF and a great nineteen eighties band. That is true,
or the beginning of the alphabet. Iowa Sam, it's easy
as one, two, three, right, it's got one point on
the board.
Speaker 7 (28:07):
All right, all right, Carrie, all right? Is this a
real or fake league? E?
Speaker 1 (28:14):
S L E s l Oh, my goodness, I'm going
to say that is a fraudulent league.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
That is correct? You know what it stands for? English speaking, right,
English is a second language. English is a second language.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
That's what it is. I don't even know what it is.
I should have written wrote it down. I didn't. It's
one to one MANCI got one for Sam, and I'll
give one to carry.
Speaker 5 (28:39):
Yeah, all right, Sam? Ready, I am oh VC oh VC.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
At large futamatic birth or is it a yep?
Speaker 2 (28:53):
That's the Ohio Valley Conference. That is koract all right,
Carrie to try to pull even. What about the swack? Oh,
that's real, that's real, that's real. He is wow right
off the bat Southwestern Athletic Conference, or as Iowa Sam
called it this week, swak swatched.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Okay, well maybe I don't want to I don't want to.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
Yeah, anything else to stick to it? All right, I'll
I'll throw on the Sam carry all right. What about
the i r L.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
I am going to say that is made up, and
I'm I'm gonna say it's made up.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
It is made up. Indie Racing League. Heckets an abbreviation
for Ireland, but it is not a league.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
It's also an abbreviation for Iowa River Landing, which is
like an area where they have all these businesses in Coyleville, IOA.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
We know, we know everything.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
That was just happenstance in real life is in life.
I r L all right, Carrie, you guys are good
at this game.
Speaker 5 (30:04):
Yes you are all right? Carrie?
Speaker 1 (30:06):
Ready, Uh huh s w V. That is a singing group.
So I'm gonna say, no, what did you what that was?
You know w V? You just wasted it on, Carrie.
You may have gotten sound with that one. Not sound.
She would have got w V, s w V, s
(30:29):
w V the singing group. Yeah, okay, what is it?
What is it? No, it is that's s w V.
That was that was the group w V. Yeah, but
you didn't think it would be a conference.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
I can think of some some like words that would
sound similar in s W Right, that's a that's a
tougher one.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
That's a tougher one.
Speaker 6 (30:50):
Man.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
You better thank MONSI. She just gave you a free
What does s WV stand for in that singing?
Speaker 5 (30:55):
I get no specific instructions.
Speaker 7 (30:57):
Yeah, I do it wrong, Sisters with the boys.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Okay, true, there we go. All right, very good? All right,
you can throw it over to Sam can I.
Speaker 5 (31:06):
Okay, let's do this okay, Sam, mule.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
N e c n e c uh. Yes, that is
a real league. I believe that is the Northeastern Conference.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
That is correct? Thank you? All right? Sam? All right,
all right, Kerrie? What about the MEAC that is a
real conference.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
Gosh, you know your college is absolutely shouldn't athletic conference?
Speaker 1 (31:33):
Shouldn't you say me E A C make a little harder? Yeah?
I could when you spell it.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
When you when you pronounce it like that, and you're like, yeah,
I think we've the okay, yeah, okay, all right, let's
try it.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Okay, what about you Iowa? Sam, what about the h
v A C.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
Wow, h v a C that is more related to
heating and cooling.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
That is not a real league. That is correct? That
is correct? Good respond it is. That's what we're going. Man.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
You guys are really good on initial dissent. Yeah, they are,
all right, Manca, you got the next one for Carrie.
Speaker 7 (32:12):
All right, Carrie, what about the l d S the
l DS that is not a real confidence.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
That is I don't know what that is? Day are
you l d S? There you go, Alds.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
You can give one the IOWA said, believe it or not,
b Y, you never played in the ld S, so.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
They never did.
Speaker 5 (32:37):
So, all right, what about Iowa, Sam?
Speaker 3 (32:39):
What about l d R l d R What would
you even end the R with? No, that's not real.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
That is correct. Gosh, I should have written what ld
R stood for because it was very very funny.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
Write it down.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
Yeah, gosh, darn it, this is what happens. I have
two many too many things in the oven, too many
cooks in the kitchen.
Speaker 5 (33:04):
I look it up.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
Yeah, we need like a tie breaker.
Speaker 3 (33:06):
I feel like this is this is like, this is
like Iowa and Illinois yesterday relationship.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Yes, it was because Iowa Sam is in one. That's
why you think we're not sure. We've never met her before, Bayard.
That's the only thing that that's the only thing we've seen.
All right, Carrie to pull even? What about the Human League?
Speaker 1 (33:27):
The Human League?
Speaker 2 (33:28):
That is a band that Yeah, I'm gonna say no, yeah, yes,
all right, your pull even?
Speaker 1 (33:34):
Sam? What about the Summit League? Oh? Absolutely, very real?
That is correct. Six to five. You got one for Carrie.
Speaker 5 (33:41):
Yes, Carrie, what about the.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
W A C.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
Yes, that's a real league. The whack that that was
good though. You made me think, yeah, okay, it's it's
tied up here and in fact, we only have we
only have three left on it four at four we'll
decide a winner. Plus Carrie decides a winner and the
(34:07):
DeMarcus Lawrence, Michael Parsons beef. Yes, Initial Descent is going
to take a temporary timeouts before we land here on
Covino and Rich. He is Carry Roads. I'm Dan Byer
in for the guys on this Friday coming up next. Yeah,
we'll settle that dispute between Parsons and Lawrence and between
Rhodes and Iowa Sam. It's all next year on Fox

is going to side with DeMarcus Lawrence or MICHAEH. Parsons.
I'll give you my quick thirty second synopsis on Cooper
Cup with the Seahawks and why it matters. But we
do have to settle our Initial Descent. Our game, Iowa
Sam and Carry Roads tied up at seven apiece. Today's
show is brought to you by try or Supply. Like basketball,

You're right, Manzi, there are four left in this seven
(35:21):
all ball game. We don't have a tie breaker. So
if you guys tie, that's just the way that it's
going to be. I'll just get it going again, Monci,
go for it. C AA carry Rhoades.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
Is that? Oh? For me? You that AA? That is
an agency. I'm going to say it is not a
real conference. That is incorrect.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
The Colonial Athletic Association that is sending UNC Wilmington to
the Big Dance.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
Wo deciphering tricky one.
Speaker 2 (35:54):
If these are conference that gives out automatic bids or
just finally made up ones, carry a little there is
there is lights for IOWA, So no you got one
for them?
Speaker 1 (36:04):
Yeah? All right?
Speaker 5 (36:05):
Sam? Ready, all right? Is f mL a real conference
or is it fake?
Speaker 3 (36:13):
That is fake and it stands for something obscene. That
is which we all say to ourselves I think everyone,
as I said, was not all right. Here, here's what
we're gonna do, just for time constraints. We're going to
give this to Iowa.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
Sam.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
If you get this right, game is over. Okay, get
it wrong, then we go to carry to see if
he can tie it. Manzi, you have the honors on
the last one.
Speaker 6 (36:38):
I do.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
Yes.
Speaker 5 (36:39):
Come on, all right, Sam? Is it a a C
A real conference or a fake one?
Speaker 1 (36:50):
American Athletic Conference is very real. Sam? Used to get
it wrong? To give it back? What are you doing?
He's out for blood here on Fox Sports Radio. That
is ridiculous. So you checked up on the agency. Yeah,
because I'm in the business, and it was too It
was too.
Speaker 2 (37:10):
Easy Iowa, Sam and Bo Benson can attest to this.
Was flustered just forty minutes ago.
Speaker 1 (37:15):
I was.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
But now now that you have come out on top
on initial dissent, how do you feel?
Speaker 1 (37:20):
I feel great. This made my Friday. It's gonna make
my weekend.
Speaker 3 (37:24):
I might even bring this up on the Doug Gotlieb
Show as my love of the weekend.
Speaker 1 (37:27):
You're gonna do what what away? Sam? Bring me your
phone now? All right?
Speaker 2 (37:34):
So Marcus Lawrence says, Dallas is never gonna win a
Super Bowl. After he leaves the Cowboys and goes to Seattle, Michaeh.
Parsons chimes in, then the Marcus Lawrence says, you spend
too much time tweeting and whatnot. Whose side are you
on in this now battle of former teammates.
Speaker 1 (37:49):
Nobody wins, nobody wins. But if I had to pick one,
I'm gonna pick Lawrence because he's speaking truth. He's speaking facts,
and so if you're speaking truth and you're speaking facts,
I think you have a little bit more leverets to
make any decision with the words that you want. And
obviously Micah's hurt by it and he's trying to defend
(38:11):
himself and come back at him for that reason. But
when you're staying in fact, I think you always have
that subtext underneath that you won argument. So I'm gonna
go with Lawrence on this one. Again.
Speaker 2 (38:22):
Props the Hawk blogger for getting that interview with the
Marcus Lawrence so much so I thought it was AI.
Speaker 1 (38:28):
Did you you know?
Speaker 2 (38:29):
Because now you see that a lot, you see the
AI fake interviews, and because it's on your phone, you
can't see it clearly and you're like, wait a second,
is this just bad audio? And for a second there
I'm like this has got to be fake, but no,
it was the real deal.
Speaker 1 (38:46):
Doesn't make you think deeper though, Dan doesn't it like
there had to be an underlying beef there already going? Yeah? Right, absolutely?
Speaker 2 (38:56):
And my whole point is, even as a Seahawks fan
in saying this, the Seahawks are a ten win team,
but I don't consider them a playoff aliber team, maybe
because we're lowering the borrow what playoff teams, but they
were the only ten win team to not make the playoffs,
but they weren't a super Bowl contender at that point,
and teams were critical of some of the been critical
of what they've done this offseason, where Mike McDonald was
(39:18):
even asked, are you rebuilding? Are you tearing this down?
Or are you building this up? What are you doing?
So there's even a question in Seattle. But the Marcus
Lawrence at least sees that as an upgrade to what
he had in Dallas, which I think says everything about
the Cowboys.
Speaker 1 (39:31):
Yeah, I mean it's a great move. I think for Lawrence.
Dallas isn't going anywhere soon anytime. Soon. So if you
can go get paid and go to a team that
again they weren't officially a playoff team, but they won
more game than Dallas, and you got a defensive minded
head coach who he knows could probably get something out
of them.
Speaker 2 (39:48):
So and now Cooper Cup goes to the Seahawks in
a move that I like for a couple of reasons. Again,
I don't know how much Cooper Cup has in the tank,
but the number one reason is just spighting the Rams.
So Rams fans have to see their Super Bowl hero
in a Seahawks uniform, just like I had to witness
Bobby Wagner in a Rams uniform, where Richard Sherman in
a San Francisco forty nine Ers uniform. None of them
(40:09):
looked right. At least the Rams now get a bit
of a taste of their own medicine. And having Cooper
Cup there, look jsn's going to be their number one guy.
They brought an MVS but a couple will be a
good veteran, and he's back home. It makes sense they
probably overpaid for him, so be it.
Speaker 1 (40:24):
I hope Cup is a little bit better than Richard
Sherman at that point in this career, because that was.
Speaker 2 (40:28):
Ugly, That was tough. Was that Super Bowl against the
Chiefs the first time around? For sure, Carrie's going to
be back at it noon Eastern time this Sunday. You
and Monci Bellagios will be teaming up and I'll be
with Aaron Torres for our Selection Sunday special.
Speaker 1 (40:41):
Have a great weekend, Carrie. We'll talk to you next time.
I'm Thineo and Rich

Speaker 1 (00:19):
Welcome in. It is a Friday.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
We could have history on our hands at Tpcsawgrass. Justin
Thomas the round of his life. I mean, he's eleven
under par right now. He's got the eighteenth all to play,
which is difficult, but he just burned the seventeen. College
basketball is everywhere. The only thing not happening are Lakers
players playing tonight. See all those circles on Justin Thomas's scorecard, Kerry,
(00:45):
those are all birdies. Oh, those are all birdies. There's
not a square on there for a bogie man. Justin
Thomas just needs a par on the last to set
a course record at Tpcsawgrass of sixty one. That's a
way to go into the weekend. Don't worry, We're gonna
talk hoops. It's we're in for Camino on Rich, Iowa,
(01:05):
Sam is here, Bo Benson, Mancy Belanos. In fact, in
twenty minutes or so, Moncey and I will be hosting
Initial Descent Carrie Rhodes versus Iowa Sam. Initial Descent. You
don't even know what the game.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Is, but I'm staring at Iowa Sam through the glass.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Ready now, yes, Sam, how do you feel about taking
part in Initial Descent?
Speaker 3 (01:32):
We're staring each other down, getting ready for the show
down here. I have no idea what this game is about.
I only knows the name, and I can't even really
gather much from the name.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
So they've been friends for long, right, but today they
face off in a showdown like no other, hosted by
Moncey Belanos and Dan Byer. Carrie Rhodes and Iowa Sam
step into the gauntlet. Gauntlet not gauntlet, even though it's lent.
You know what I meant it is? It is Initial Descent, Right.
(02:08):
I got both hands minutes here on Fox Sports Radio, got.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Both hands on my hip, ready to you know what?
Speaker 2 (02:16):
You know?
Speaker 1 (02:17):
What's all right?
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Two of the two of the best gun slingers that
we've got here at Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Gets side of the Mississippi.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Dantraw Crick is dropping the West out here.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
It's Alabama against Iowa, the rivalry that you never want
to see in college football, but you want to see
in initial descent. Right coming up in twenty minutes. All right,
all right, I can get back to Yeah, I like
the dramas. All that very good, gotta check it off.
We are broadcasting lot at the tire dot Com studios.
(02:50):
Tyrec dot com will help you get there. An unmatch selection,
fast free shipping, free road as a protection. You know,
over ten thousand recommended in stallers tirec dot com. The
way tire buying should. I feel golf is z apropos
because there was a story this week at the Players
Championship that grabbed some headlines. I don't know if it
grabbed national headlines, but during a practice round earlier this week,
(03:12):
Rory McElroy was teeing off on I believe the eighteenth
hole and hit a hook into the water on eighteen.
Rory is a Masters went away from completing the career
Grand Slam. It's one of us Open. He's won the
PGA Championship a couple of times, he's won the Open Championship.
He just needs the Masters to complete the career Grand Slam.
(03:36):
And oddly enough in twenty eleven, when Rory didn't have
any majors, he was on the verge of winning the
twenty eleven Masters going into the final run when he
had a four shot lead that quickly evaporated. And the
lasting image of Rory McElroy on that afternoon on Sunday
was him standing next to a cabin on the property
of Augusta National that no one had ever seen before,
(03:58):
because no player in the Masters had ever hit a
golf ball where that cabin was. It was so far
left carry that it was actually right, no, but it was.
It was way off. It's a dog leg left. He
hit a hook that hooked, that hooked, that hooked, and
there's a shot of Rory as his lead as evaporated.
He's next to this cabin with no shot and at
(04:20):
that point you knew it was over. Rebounded greatly when
the US Open a couple of months later, and then
his major career took off. But Rory hasn't won a
major in a decade, and came close last year at
the US Open. I know it's been it's been a while.
Came close to the US Open last year but failed,
but at the practice round this week he hit a
duck hook into the water on eighteen the hole that
(04:42):
Justin Thomas is playing right now, and a spectator who
will get to in a second more information about him, said,
just like the twenty eleven Masters. Okay, you laugh, you laugh,
that's funny. Rory did not laugh. Rory turned around, walked
to the spectator. The spectator had his phone, who was
(05:04):
a twenty one year old kid, and Roy said, can
I see that? I see your phone? And he took
the phone and walked away.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Ultimately the fan got his phone back, but the fan
was escorted from the property. As it turns out, the
fan is a twenty one year old collegiate golfer at
the University of Texas. That just what a tournament in
the area recently. A pretty darn good player. So this
is this is surprising to me because of that dynamic,
(05:32):
because I think that a college kid would know the
pressures of golf, and while you wouldn't know the Masters,
would understand that, hey, this is a this is a
peer that I'm looking up to or hopefully appear if
my collegiate career can expand to a professional career at
some point. It's it's a very weird way of trash talking.
(05:54):
And that's what I want to ask you carry Rhodes
because this is innocent, But is that crossing the line
if you're someone who also plays competitive golf? Did this
fan cross the line? Didn't swear? All he did was
bring up a bad memory, and Rory McElroy took offense
to does Rory have thin skin? Does he have rabbit ears?
(06:16):
You hear this scenario, what do you think about it?
It's layered.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
So number one, Rory, if you're listening, let it go, man, heal,
take care of yourself. That's that that's coming gone. You
should have evolved by now to a different person and
that moment should be long gone. Right now, right, that's
that would be the first thing I say to Rory,
(06:42):
right because it's fourteen years ago. It let it go.
The second thing is an interesting point that you brought
up with the guy being a collegiate player that I'm
sure has that you said is a really good player
that has aspirations to do that. What would you do
in that situation? Would you want somebody to do what
you just did and heckle them about a shot that like, again,
(07:03):
there's been ten years ago or whatever how long it's been,
why would you even bring that up, and why would
you have that confrontation with somebody that you may have
to face later on down the line, who, by the way,
is and has been one of the best players in
the game of golf, you know, at a period of time. Right,
So I don't know what the angle was. I would
think the angle is for him to get the attention,
(07:24):
because now we live in a society where you can
go viral or you can have those moments, and so
for me, I would see it for that reason. So
next thing, you know, now we're talking about this guy.
We know, we know hit some of his background, we
know that he's a player, we know that he has
probably aspiration. So I think that, more than anything would
be the reason he did that to get attention. Is
(07:45):
that an excuse?
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Is that an excuse to say I just got caught
up in it, I got caught up in the social
media world? Does that Is that enough of an excuse
to say, hey, I messed up?
Speaker 1 (08:01):
It's not an excuse. I think it's for him. There
would have been obviously that moment happened organically, but in
the back of his mind he knew obviously because he
was at that spot, he was following Rory, he was
seeing Rory at that point that if he had the chance,
he was going to take that opportunity to interact in
(08:22):
any way. And that was the interaction.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
This is and this is, this is why I think
this is so unique because I don't think the Luke
Potter is the twenty one year old's name. Luke Potter
plays golf at the University of Texas.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
I didn't say his name, but why protect him? He
said what he said, released the statement apologizing. They even
had his coach release a statement. And we don't know
if there's going to be any discipline or not. But
it's just odd. Golf is different than everything else. I
said to you prior to the show. I remember the
time when the guy and I think it was in Philadelphia,
(08:55):
gave Russell Westbrook the double bird to his face and
Russell Westbrook is like, who is this guy?
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Right?
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Like, can we get this guy out of there? And
not going over there and charging him at any point.
Of course, the kid didn't say anything that was vulgar,
didn't say anything that was.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
I guess.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Unkindly unseemingly nothing You know, no cuss words anything, just
brought up a bad memory. Now, I'll tell you what.
Every time Scott Norwood after he kicked for the Buffalo
Bills went into another stadium, Yeah, what'd you probably hear?
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Why? Right? Right? Yeah? But isn't that what this is?
Speaker 2 (09:39):
And like, as a golf fan and someone who likes golf,
to me, it's really really out of pocket. But when
I step and I look at all the other the
arena that you played in for eight years of your
professional career, I would think that you would have heard
much worse from fans than this situation. But is you know,
(10:00):
is it different? Is this different because the silence? Is
it different because it's an individual sport? Like I'm trying
to weigh this and even figure this out because I
feel it's more heavier. But then again, I see the
guy giving Russell Westbrook the double bird, and Westbrook's just like,
get this guy out of here.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
That's probably the way to handle it. Well, probably the
etiquette of it, right, Like you're you're a golf fanatic.
You somebody actually plays a game and follows it really closely,
and so the etiquette you know better than me. I
obviously know it I mean, I know it's quiet on
the green, and like, I know, you give that respect
to the golfers and let them do what they do.
It's such a thinking game, and you know in all
games are, but it's very like it. It's inches, it's
(10:40):
like inches upon inches of where any kind of distraction
for a golfer. It seems like they're a little bit
more fragile when it comes to the mindset of like, no,
this is this is my sanctuary. It's very quiet. We
know the rules, we know what we know, we know
what we know. What when you go to a golf match,
this is what is expected. Right where in football of
(11:02):
basketball you can come you'll come in to be rowdy.
So you have a couple of a couple of beverages
and you lose yourself in a moment of being rowdy.
It's kind of part of it now, throwing the birds,
He's lucky Russell Westbrook didn't slap them, sure, right, right, absolutely,
But with this it's just somebody saying something like somebody
saying something to me that's not gonna affect me to
(11:24):
the point of taking their phone and escorting them out.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Yeah, I remember I mentioned Scott Norwood maybe a more
recent example would be Cody Parky when you know, even
had the double doink for the Bears. By the way,
the double doink is also just awful luck that it
would hit that, it would hint the crossbar or hit
the upright and then hit the crossbar. Yeah, and and
(11:47):
be knocked out. It could have been could have knocked in,
could have been that scenario. That's the part that I'm
where I would think that Cody Parky probably heard about
this time and time again whenever he took the field
again and whatever uniform if you're trying to get under
his skin, and it's kind of I feel like something
like that is almost fair game.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Yeah, Dan, I've dropped. I dropped an interception two thousand
and I can remember. I know that the exact day
and time like. It was a big game against Miami.
They were number two in the country. We were at
number nine. Ten, We're in an Orange Bowl. We're winning.
I had an excellent game. I picked off the Pats earlier,
almost another one, but to win the game, to close
out the game, I had a chance to intercept the
(12:28):
ball and win the game. I got there so fast
that I dropped the ball. I heard everything. I still
get messages from people from Louisville, like just sporadically, it
could be a Miami game. It'd be like, yeah, I
remember carry Rolls dropped dead in the septh I'm like,
hold love man, relaxed. All right, that was thirty years
ago and you still But I don't take it personally.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Like Okay, move on, yeah, yeah, you hit the shot.
Rory won majors after that point. That's the point is
and I'm a I would say that I'm I've always
enjoyed Rory McElroy. It's weird being a fan of people
who are younger than me, but I would say that
I'm a fan of his. I've always liked watching him play.
(13:11):
It just feels like it's thin skin.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
It is.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
You're a former player. Bo Benson is a fan. Moncy
Bolanos is a fan. I want to ask you, Iowa
Sam as a fan.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Bo.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
When you hear Rory McElroy being heckled like that and
then going to the extreme of taking a phone and
having a fan ejected, who is a twenty one year
old player at the University of Texas, Is it thin
skin or does golf make it different?
Speaker 4 (13:40):
I think because it's golf, like you don't expect a
golfer to kind of have a reaction, but also like
it's much more intimate in the video, like the guy's
right next to where Rory is, you know, doing his thing.
It's different, but it's also like I don't want to
say part of it is on the athlete, but like
Carry just said, like you kind of expected I think
at some point, like I thought the lamest thing ever
(14:01):
in sports was Russell Rustbrook getting mad at people taunting him.
With Westbrook, I thought that was so goofy, and then
his explanation afterwards of like, you know, it's my name
and blah blah blah, Like no, you just don't like it,
that's fine, but you're gonna get that. You have to
accept that being an athlete in the public sphere and
especially going into like visiting the arenas. I guess in
Westbrook's case it was at his home arena, which he
(14:21):
didn't like. But yeah, I think this is just different
because it's golf and you don't expect it in golf.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Yeah, it's completely it's odd to hear like you would
have players trash talk each other if they're in a
money game or stuff like that. But it's also an
individual sport. I'm not saying individual athletes don't get heckled.
Sergio Garcia would get heckled a lot. But this isn't
(14:47):
like there was a groundswell of people that were hanging
out watching this.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
This was a practice round.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Rory is popular, but there weren't tons of people around
at that time, you know, I just it just is.
It's weird to me, and I think it's uncalled for.
And I don't know why I feel that way, because,
as I said, Russell Westbrook and I'm not even talking
about Wes Brick Westbrook. Other things and then have been said,
(15:15):
two athletes have been far worse, probably by fans in
a football scenario or a basketball scenario or a baseball scenario.
Manzi is Rory MACAROI does he have thin skin? Should
we expect something different? If somebody says, hey, you hit
a bad shot fourteen years ago, remember that.
Speaker 5 (15:34):
So I think the golf, it being golf is a
big factor in it. I'm trying to look up the
video because I didn't see how close he was. But
if this dude is within my arms distance, I'm grabbing
the phone it would be out of my face.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Rory walked up to him, so he was probably about
he was probably about fifteen yards away from the tea box,
maybe ten yards away enough for Rory to turn around,
hit the t shot, walk the ten yards, ask the
kid for his phone. He's twenty one year old, to
call him a kid. Then Rory grabbed the phone and
walked away.
Speaker 5 (16:03):
I'm looking at it. Yeah, I mean, it's actually funny
how calm he did it. He's just like, can I
see your phone?
Speaker 3 (16:08):
Great?
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Thank you, monk away, make a little give the golfers
a little bit more space.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Didn't say anything about his family, didn't say anything about
you know, that was out of bounce. Well except the shot.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
That was Yeah.
Speaker 5 (16:21):
Yeah, because it's golf. I feel like, naturally, it's more
intimate of a sport, just naturally.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
And it's Carrie pointed out, etiquette is a part of
the sport.
Speaker 5 (16:29):
It is. Yeah, yeah, I have no I have no
problem with the Rory Mcalroy did.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Yeah. I'm sorry guys Westbrook at home. It's the kind
of nuts though up there. Yeah, absolutely, that's kind of tough.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Yeah, absolutely, okay, but I feel better for feeling bad
for I feel bad that Rory had this, but again,
it's not the worst thing that you could you could
yell at.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
No, it could have been so much worse. Obviously, go yeah, Iowa, Sam.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Didn't Rory sort of have an issue with the last
US Open where he was in position to win it
and he did he like take off in his.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Car or something, did not meet the media.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
Yeah, and he you know, And I think this is
just the definition of like striking a nerve, hitting a nerve.
If you're that that young man saying that to him,
and it hit a nerve with Rory, I would say this, Uh,
you don't have to turn your phone over to anybody,
Rory McElroy, the president, the FBI, unless you have a
lawyer like.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Should By just say you're not gonna know that your
phone is like your passport.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
No, he didn't.
Speaker 6 (17:31):
He could have.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
He could have just walked away.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
What did Rory do with his phone?
Speaker 2 (17:35):
He the guy ended up getting his phone bat so
I assume he gave it to security And that's weird.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
But did I think he understood that He's like, oh,
I I just drew the eye of Rory.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
I'm just gonna like instinctively, no, I think he just
wanted to throw it in the water and realized that
he shouldn't. That like the walk allowed him to think
a little bit more clearly.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
I think I think I would say this, what was
that young man's name again, that the Guechtluke Luke Potter,
Luke Potter. Maybe we have we struggled sometimes, especially men
with impulsivity. Maybe he impulsively just blurted that out, and
then Rory impulsively just walked over there and was like,
just give me your phone, and like they neither side
thought things out.
Speaker 5 (18:20):
He the guy that the kid right was a golfer.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Yes, yes, he plays it.
Speaker 5 (18:24):
I feel like that's why, because he's come out and
he's apologized right like straight up. I think because he's
a golfer, he realized that maybe he just kind of yeah,
didn't respect the game that he plays.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
And now we're telling all his friends that Rory had
his phone. Yeah you know it's there's video, there's video
of it. Yeah. Then you know the New TGL. This
is Sam bringing this up.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Rory missed a putt on the in the New Simulator
League and one of the one of the team, like
twitter sites tweeted, just like the US Open.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
There you go like that would tick me off. That
would have getten me. If I can't hit in the simulator, No,
that'd be a problem.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
And and and the US Open is much more like
the put The putt that he missed on eighteen, the
seventy second hole on Sunday was a difficult pap, but
the one that he missed on sixteen was definitely there's
no excuse for missing that putt. That would hurt me
more than something that happened fourteen years ago.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Yeah, it's just it's it's it's been sensitive. It's you
have to heal gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, he'll with yourselves, please.
Old wounds should not make you impulsively take phones from people.
It's it's maybe it's crazy.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
He should have just Frean mccaffreydom well, right, right, let's
give him a couple uh.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
Well, the words the ref that eventually, well, I think
Fran was working on that ref and trying to draw
attention to the foul disparity, and the ref had enough
and he teed him up, and maybe Rory had enough,
and it was finally the straw that broke the camel's back.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Yeah, and If Rory says bleep you to the guy,
that's all we hear because we don't have audio of
him saying just like the twenty eleven Masters, And when
that comes out, it's it's still Rory dropped an F
bomb on someone, And but it wouldn't be good.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
What looks better dan like him actually dropping the F
bomb or snatched in his phone like a little kid,
like if you're trying, if you're trying to prove a point, well,
remember Connor McGrath, I don't demand it. I demanded.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
I think if he says something that I think that
actually looks worse than him calmly walking up, grabbing the
phone and walked away. It may seem petty, but I
think Rory got his you know whereabouts is wherewithal as
he walked and realized, Okay, I really didn't have a
plan here phone, so let's just give it to somebody
(20:45):
like I probably shouldn't have done that. But if he
would have said a bleep you, we would have had
that audio. We would be playing it here on drops.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
Yeah, if Rory had like carried out his plan and
like grabbed his phone and thrown it in the water, Yes,
and threw an F bomb at the guy, and we
found out that it was because he said just like
twenty eleven.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Huh. We would all been like, oh.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
Wow, Rory, that's really a horrible reaction just for us
coming like that. It's not like, as I mentioned you earlier,
like when Jason Kelsey grabbed somebody's phone when he was
walking through Penn stateum and broke it because of what
he said about his brother. That's a more reasonable reaction.
I applaud Jason Kelsey when he did that. I would
not have been happy if Rory destroyed his phone.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
I also think Kelsey's response was warranted in the fact
of listen, you or anybody else, you just can't say
whatever you want to say. And since it was like
in public, like Rory's inside the Ropes playing a practice
round at this point, so there are some rules there.
But I think that's maybe the rule that Rory wanted
(21:44):
to say is listen, you can come to this event,
you could do whatever, but you don't have the right
to try to become viral and say whatever you feel
like you want to say. And I think that was
the point that he was trying to make. He just
didn't necessarily think it all through because it happened so fast,
and then realized that at the end that he probably
wasn't gonna throw a phone into the water.
Speaker 4 (22:02):
It'd be funny if this was all promo for happy
Gilmore too, though I was.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Gonna say, everybody seems to be in it. I think
everybody has.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
Every golfer human being has their happy guilt, their unhappy
Gilmore inside them that like can just like you know,
he he struggles with anger in the movie and finally
gets hold of it, and it's where he kind of
masters his his skills. But yeah, I just think that
he touched a nerve.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Honestly, I just think that Carrie's professional football, baseball, basketball
all get it one hundred times worse. But the setting
that golf is in and the individual sport that is
allowed this to rise to that occasion.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Oh man, you guys, I think we're all getting sensitive
here because that is super sensitive to me.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Don't drop an interception against Miami, then, Carrie, if you
uh he is Carrie dan Byer, I dropped an interception
my junior year in high school and we were zero
to nine, and it still bothers me. We didn't win
a game all year and then it made the difference.
Dan could then have made the difference was losing by
nine instead of the sixteen that we lost.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Now this sounds like an episode of Little Giants.

in the world of sports, like men's college hoops. No surprise,
but Cooper Flagg Dukestar has been officially ruled out for
(25:30):
today's ACC semi final game against North Carolina. What's happened already?
At the Big Ten quarterfinals, Number seven Michigan State and
eighteen thranked Wisconsin both won their matchups, so they're going
to see each other in the semi finals tomorrow. At
the SEC quarterfinals, eighth rank Tennessee had an eighty three
to seventy two win over Texas and third ranked Auburn
(25:50):
defeated Ole Miss sixty two to fifty seven. At the
AAC quarterfinals, Number sixteen Memphis survived eighty three to eighty
against Swichita State. Iowa has parted ways with coach fran
McCaffrey after fie fifteen seasons in women's college hoops. I
don't know if you guys heard this. USC star Juju
Watkins has signed an exclusive multi year deal with Fanatics
and Fanatics Collectibles, that's the company's trading card division. She's
(26:12):
the first female college athlete to sign such a deal
with Fanatics.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
You go, girl.
Speaker 5 (26:17):
And in baseball, guys, hey, Clay Holmes is going to
be the Mets opening day starter in Houston, Carlos Rodin
will be the Yankees opening day start because they don't
have anybody else against Milwaukee, and Zach Eflin will be
the Orioles opening day starter in Toronto.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Back to you, guys, thank you very much.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Monsei, don't go anywhere because you and I are going
to co host this duel lady as a gentleman. It's
Caveno and Rich live from the tireq dot Com studios,
and we bring you Initial Descent. Initial Descent is the
name of the game. As Carrie Rhodes and iowas Sam
go heads ahead in trying to decipher if the initials
(26:54):
we give you are actual conferences that hand out automatic
bids for the NCAA tournament. Monsie and I have a
list of some that are right and some that are wrong.
Carry and Iowa Sam have to decipher. We are going
to alternate. Carrie, you call it in the air heads
or tails. Tails never fails. It's tails.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
You chose. Do you want to go first or second
in this.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Let that punk go first, okay, Iowa Sam, I'm gonna
give you. I'm gonna give you. I'm gonna give you initials,
mostly initials. And you have to tell me if it's
a real college basketball league that gives an automatic berth
or a fake one?
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Okay, Okay, the ABC, the ABC.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
Is that a real conference that gives out an automatic
birth or did we just make this up?
Speaker 3 (27:47):
That is ABC is made up?
Speaker 1 (27:50):
That is correct?
Speaker 2 (27:51):
I went first then, because that was it's the home
to TGIF and a great nineteen eighties band. That is true,
or the beginning of the alphabet. Iowa Sam, it's easy
as one, two, three, right, it's got one point on
the board.
Speaker 7 (28:07):
All right, all right, Carrie, all right? Is this a
real or fake league? E?
Speaker 1 (28:14):
S L E s l Oh, my goodness, I'm going
to say that is a fraudulent league.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
That is correct? You know what it stands for? English speaking, right,
English is a second language. English is a second language.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
That's what it is. I don't even know what it is.
I should have written wrote it down. I didn't. It's
one to one MANCI got one for Sam, and I'll
give one to carry.
Speaker 5 (28:39):
Yeah, all right, Sam? Ready, I am oh VC oh VC.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
At large futamatic birth or is it a yep?
Speaker 2 (28:53):
That's the Ohio Valley Conference. That is koract all right,
Carrie to try to pull even. What about the swack? Oh,
that's real, that's real, that's real. He is wow right
off the bat Southwestern Athletic Conference, or as Iowa Sam
called it this week, swak swatched.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Okay, well maybe I don't want to I don't want to.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
Yeah, anything else to stick to it? All right, I'll
I'll throw on the Sam carry all right. What about
the i r L.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
I am going to say that is made up, and
I'm I'm gonna say it's made up.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
It is made up. Indie Racing League. Heckets an abbreviation
for Ireland, but it is not a league.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
It's also an abbreviation for Iowa River Landing, which is
like an area where they have all these businesses in Coyleville, IOA.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
We know, we know everything.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
That was just happenstance in real life is in life.
I r L all right, Carrie, you guys are good
at this game.
Speaker 5 (30:04):
Yes you are all right? Carrie?
Speaker 1 (30:06):
Ready, Uh huh s w V. That is a singing group.
So I'm gonna say, no, what did you what that was?
You know w V? You just wasted it on, Carrie.
You may have gotten sound with that one. Not sound.
She would have got w V, s w V, s
(30:29):
w V the singing group. Yeah, okay, what is it?
What is it? No, it is that's s w V.
That was that was the group w V. Yeah, but
you didn't think it would be a conference.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
I can think of some some like words that would
sound similar in s W Right, that's a that's a
tougher one.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
That's a tougher one.
Speaker 6 (30:50):
Man.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
You better thank MONSI. She just gave you a free
What does s WV stand for in that singing?
Speaker 5 (30:55):

Speaker 1 (31:19):
That is correct? Thank you? All right? Sam? All right,

real conference.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
Gosh, you know your college is absolutely shouldn't athletic conference?
Speaker 1 (31:33):
Shouldn't you say me E A C make a little harder? Yeah?
I could when you spell it.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
When you when you pronounce it like that, and you're like, yeah,
I think we've the okay, yeah, okay, all right, let's
try it.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Okay, what about you Iowa? Sam, what about the h
v A C.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
Wow, h v a C that is more related to
heating and cooling.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
That is not a real league. That is correct? That
is correct? Good respond it is. That's what we're going. Man.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
You guys are really good on initial dissent. Yeah, they are,
all right, Manca, you got the next one for Carrie.
Speaker 7 (32:12):
All right, Carrie, what about the l d S the
l DS that is not a real confidence.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
That is I don't know what that is? Day are
you l d S? There you go, Alds.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
You can give one the IOWA said, believe it or not,
b Y, you never played in the ld S, so.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
They never did.
Speaker 5 (32:37):
So, all right, what about Iowa, Sam?
Speaker 3 (32:39):
What about l d R l d R What would
you even end the R with? No, that's not real.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
That is correct. Gosh, I should have written what ld
R stood for because it was very very funny.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
Write it down.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
Yeah, gosh, darn it, this is what happens. I have
two many too many things in the oven, too many
cooks in the kitchen.
Speaker 5 (33:04):
I look it up.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
Yeah, we need like a tie breaker.
Speaker 3 (33:06):
I feel like this is this is like, this is
like Iowa and Illinois yesterday relationship.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Yes, it was because Iowa Sam is in one. That's
why you think we're not sure. We've never met her before, Bayard.
That's the only thing that that's the only thing we've seen.
All right, Carrie to pull even? What about the Human League?
Speaker 1 (33:27):
The Human League?
Speaker 2 (33:28):
That is a band that Yeah, I'm gonna say no, yeah, yes,
all right, your pull even?
Speaker 1 (33:34):
Sam? What about the Summit League? Oh? Absolutely, very real?
That is correct. Six to five. You got one for Carrie.
Speaker 5 (33:41):
Yes, Carrie, what about the.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
W A C.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
Yes, that's a real league. The whack that that was
good though. You made me think, yeah, okay, it's it's
tied up here and in fact, we only have we
only have three left on it four at four we'll
decide a winner. Plus Carrie decides a winner and the
(34:07):
DeMarcus Lawrence, Michael Parsons beef. Yes, Initial Descent is going
to take a temporary timeouts before we land here on
Covino and Rich. He is Carry Roads. I'm Dan Byer
in for the guys on this Friday coming up next. Yeah,
we'll settle that dispute between Parsons and Lawrence and between
Rhodes and Iowa Sam. It's all next year on Fox

Speaker 2 (34:41):
It's Cavino and Rich here on Fox Sports Radio. Carrie
is going to side with DeMarcus Lawrence or MICHAEH. Parsons.
I'll give you my quick thirty second synopsis on Cooper
Cup with the Seahawks and why it matters. But we
do have to settle our Initial Descent. Our game, Iowa
Sam and Carry Roads tied up at seven apiece. Today's
show is brought to you by try or Supply. Like basketball,

You're right, Manzi, there are four left in this seven
(35:21):
all ball game. We don't have a tie breaker. So
if you guys tie, that's just the way that it's
going to be. I'll just get it going again, Monci,
go for it. C AA carry Rhoades.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
Is that? Oh? For me? You that AA? That is
an agency. I'm going to say it is not a
real conference. That is incorrect.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
The Colonial Athletic Association that is sending UNC Wilmington to
the Big Dance.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
Wo deciphering tricky one.
Speaker 2 (35:54):
If these are conference that gives out automatic bids or
just finally made up ones, carry a little there is
there is lights for IOWA, So no you got one
for them?
Speaker 1 (36:04):
Yeah? All right?
Speaker 5 (36:05):
Sam? Ready, all right? Is f mL a real conference
or is it fake?
Speaker 3 (36:13):
That is fake and it stands for something obscene. That
is which we all say to ourselves I think everyone,
as I said, was not all right. Here, here's what
we're gonna do, just for time constraints. We're going to
give this to Iowa.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
Sam.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
If you get this right, game is over. Okay, get
it wrong, then we go to carry to see if
he can tie it. Manzi, you have the honors on
the last one.
Speaker 6 (36:38):
I do.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
Yes.
Speaker 5 (36:39):
Come on, all right, Sam? Is it a a C
A real conference or a fake one?
Speaker 1 (36:50):
American Athletic Conference is very real. Sam? Used to get
it wrong? To give it back? What are you doing?
He's out for blood here on Fox Sports Radio. That
is ridiculous. So you checked up on the agency. Yeah,
because I'm in the business, and it was too It
was too.
Speaker 2 (37:10):
Easy Iowa, Sam and Bo Benson can attest to this.
Was flustered just forty minutes ago.
Speaker 1 (37:15):
I was.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
But now now that you have come out on top
on initial dissent, how do you feel?
Speaker 1 (37:20):
I feel great. This made my Friday. It's gonna make
my weekend.
Speaker 3 (37:24):
I might even bring this up on the Doug Gotlieb
Show as my love of the weekend.
Speaker 1 (37:27):
You're gonna do what what away? Sam? Bring me your
phone now? All right?
Speaker 2 (37:34):
So Marcus Lawrence says, Dallas is never gonna win a
Super Bowl. After he leaves the Cowboys and goes to Seattle, Michaeh.
Parsons chimes in, then the Marcus Lawrence says, you spend
too much time tweeting and whatnot. Whose side are you
on in this now battle of former teammates.
Speaker 1 (37:49):
Nobody wins, nobody wins. But if I had to pick one,
I'm gonna pick Lawrence because he's speaking truth. He's speaking facts,
and so if you're speaking truth and you're speaking facts,
I think you have a little bit more leverets to
make any decision with the words that you want. And
obviously Micah's hurt by it and he's trying to defend
(38:11):
himself and come back at him for that reason. But
when you're staying in fact, I think you always have
that subtext underneath that you won argument. So I'm gonna
go with Lawrence on this one. Again.
Speaker 2 (38:22):
Props the Hawk blogger for getting that interview with the
Marcus Lawrence so much so I thought it was AI.
Speaker 1 (38:28):
Did you you know?
Speaker 2 (38:29):
Because now you see that a lot, you see the
AI fake interviews, and because it's on your phone, you
can't see it clearly and you're like, wait a second,
is this just bad audio? And for a second there
I'm like this has got to be fake, but no,
it was the real deal.
Speaker 1 (38:46):
Doesn't make you think deeper though, Dan doesn't it like
there had to be an underlying beef there already going? Yeah? Right, absolutely?
Speaker 2 (38:56):
And my whole point is, even as a Seahawks fan
in saying this, the Seahawks are a ten win team,
but I don't consider them a playoff aliber team, maybe
because we're lowering the borrow what playoff teams, but they
were the only ten win team to not make the playoffs,
but they weren't a super Bowl contender at that point,
and teams were critical of some of the been critical
of what they've done this offseason, where Mike McDonald was
(39:18):
even asked, are you rebuilding? Are you tearing this down?
Or are you building this up? What are you doing?
So there's even a question in Seattle. But the Marcus
Lawrence at least sees that as an upgrade to what
he had in Dallas, which I think says everything about
the Cowboys.
Speaker 1 (39:31):
Yeah, I mean it's a great move. I think for Lawrence.
Dallas isn't going anywhere soon anytime. Soon. So if you
can go get paid and go to a team that
again they weren't officially a playoff team, but they won
more game than Dallas, and you got a defensive minded
head coach who he knows could probably get something out
of them.
Speaker 2 (39:48):
So and now Cooper Cup goes to the Seahawks in
a move that I like for a couple of reasons. Again,
I don't know how much Cooper Cup has in the tank,
but the number one reason is just spighting the Rams.
So Rams fans have to see their Super Bowl hero
in a Seahawks uniform, just like I had to witness
Bobby Wagner in a Rams uniform, where Richard Sherman in
a San Francisco forty nine Ers uniform. None of them
(40:09):
looked right. At least the Rams now get a bit
of a taste of their own medicine. And having Cooper
Cup there, look jsn's going to be their number one guy.
They brought an MVS but a couple will be a
good veteran, and he's back home. It makes sense they
probably overpaid for him, so be it.
Speaker 1 (40:24):
I hope Cup is a little bit better than Richard
Sherman at that point in this career, because that was.
Speaker 2 (40:28):
Ugly, That was tough. Was that Super Bowl against the
Chiefs the first time around? For sure, Carrie's going to
be back at it noon Eastern time this Sunday. You
and Monci Bellagios will be teaming up and I'll be
with Aaron Torres for our Selection Sunday special.
Speaker 1 (40:41):
Have a great weekend, Carrie. We'll talk to you next time.
