Speaker 3 (00:19):
Appreciate them now, because you never know when you're gonna
miss them. Welcome in back again with Aaron Torres. I'm
Dan Byer in for Covino and Rich here on a Thursday,
a July fourth, even Independence Day eve. It is July three.
Welcome to Fox Sports Radio. Jason Stewart's our executive producer.
(00:39):
Iowa Sam our technical producer. And I thought Manzie Milano's
at the news desk was just a leading with the
Luis or Ties story earlier so she could flex her
Luis or Tis pronunciation. However, Aaron, when I saw this pitch,
Oh my goodness, did you see this Luis Ortiz pitch?
Speaker 1 (00:57):
No, that is under investigation. I'm gonna look it up
right now.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
The one thing I will say, I don't totally know
what those integrity groups do, but I know that they
are like they're unbelievable with the things that they can uncover.
And when you hear that one of the integrity firms
is involved, uh yeah, you probably did something and you're
gonna get in a lot of trouble for it.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
So MANSI, I.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Know that you've oh, I see it now, but going okay.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Hey, there's the one against the Mariners that is kind
of like, okay, the one against the Cardinals. My goodness,
like this thing it it one hopped. It one hopped
about fifty two feet from the pitcher's mound. It was
I mean it was it was like halfway to the plate.
(01:50):
Like it wasn't even close. So there's a reason why
Major League Baseball needs to needs to investigate.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
This would be like this would be like I need
to get fired from Fox Sports Radio because of XYZ.
I'm gonna do it to lead hour two and then
you're just like, Aaron, how are you? And then I
just rip off like eight straight expletives in a row.
Now it's like, okay, now we have to fire them.
It's like okay, Yeah, it's not a perfect analogy, but
if you were betting on yourself to throw a ball,
(02:21):
it doesn't get much more of a ball than that
one right there.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
People think the Malik Beasley late bucket to cover the
spread was obvious. This is one hundred times worse like
this is. It's just I get it now, I absolutely
get it. I thought it was another case of like,
all right, whatever, this thing wasn't even close because the
(02:45):
bet was apparently on a first pitch strike, you could
throw it anywhere. He could throw it to the moon,
and Luis Ortiz may have tried to. It felt like
he tried to throw it to the core of the earth,
like that's how far short came from home plate. But
that's what major League Baseball is looking into. And Luis Ortiz,
(03:06):
if that's any evidence, I think is going to be
missing some more time in Major League Baseball than just
the leave that he was placed on today. Welcome in.
It is Caveno or Rich here on Fox Sports Radio.
For over forty years, Tiraq has been helping customers find
the right tires for how, what and where they drive.
Ship fast and free back by free road has in
protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation tireraq
(03:29):
dot Com the way tire buying should be. It's crazy
to think, but next week is actually the start of
the college football season. And I say that because you
know it, But for those of you that don't know,
media days starting up. Big twelve has their media availabilities
starting on Tuesday of next week. The SEC will follow
in the following week, and then the Big Ten will
(03:49):
have theirs later on in the month of July in
Las Vegas. Same thing with the ACC. But next week
we're going to be talking college football. And yesterday on
Fox Sports Radio on The Doug Gottlieb Show, executive producer
Jason Stewart, who's hanging out with us, brought up the
topic of the midway and what we were looking forward
(04:11):
to for the rest of the season, for the rest
of the year, excuse me, and Aaron, I said something
in there about college football because I feel that there's
not a lot of buzz with college football entering this season,
and I think one of the reasons is because there's
no Nick Saban. And I realized now how much college
(04:35):
football missus Saban being in the game. And I think
last year we felt, well, Alabama is still Alabama. How
are they going to respond without Saban? I didn't believe
that Alabama was still Alabama. And it showed last year
and now we enter this year and I don't think
(04:55):
Alabama is a part of any major conversation when talking
about college football. And when we're talking about college football,
we're talking about Arch Manning, We're talking about Penn State
and maybe little Ohio State, a little of Ohio State,
and what can Dion do now in Colorado. Outside of that,
(05:16):
I know, conference wise, there's gonna be stuff, but on
a national scale, I don't think that there's a ton
for people to latch onto right now. And I think
part of the reason is because a figure like Nick
Saban and what he meant to Alabama is no longer
in the game. And I feel that college football we're
really feeling the effects of no Nick Saban in the game.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
So two quick thoughts, because I know you want to
open it up to the group. One.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
First of all, even with the Arch Manning stuff, it
felt that did this week feel a little manufactured too?
Like it was just nobody there's nothing to talk about. Oh,
let's get Paul Finebaum on and have him say something crazy.
And that was where he said, Oh, I think arch
is gonna be the best quarterback since Tim Tebow, And
then it just became a talking point and it didn't
feel to me. It didn't feel organic. It felt like
(06:03):
we need somebody to say something crazy so we have
something to talk about. And I don't even think even
with Arch it's as big as I think. I think
a lot of people are intrigued, but I don't think
it's as big as people think. The other thing too,
Dan that I'm gonna say, and I do think Saban
is a big part of why there's no buzz. I
am gonna say something extremely unpopular, but I truly believe it.
(06:28):
I think part of the reason there's no buzz is
because individual games do not matter as much anymore, and
so it's like, yeah, Ohio State Texas.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Is gonna be really cool, but either of.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Those teams can lose, and it's like whatever, and I
it's a broader conversation for another day. You and I
will probably be filling in at some point and we
can dive into this. But like, what made college football
college football was that every single Saturday mattered every single year,
and that just in the case anymore. So it's like, yeah,
we can be excited for Ohio State Texas, but ultimately
(07:05):
it doesn't have the stakes that it would have even two, three,
four years ago, And I think that's part of.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
It as well. Maybe I'm crazy, but I think that's
part of it as well.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
The only pushback that I would give to that is
last year July third, we were not looking forward to
an Indiana Ohio state game, and then Indiana does what
they do and all of a sudden, that becomes quite
the matchup.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
I'm not saying there's not individual games that matter over
the course of the year.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
I do think that.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
And by the way, it actually didn't end up mattering
because both teams made the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Sure, so with the lead up to it, there was
there was hype.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Oh yeah, and there was there was hype in the
lead up to a lot of games. But I just
think that I don't know, it's just it's just I
don't want to say it's like again, I think individual
fan bases like, yeah, you're excited about your team and
you're worried about this, and you're this and that.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
But as a sport, I think it's harder to.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Like on a week two week basis, feel as invested
when you know the games don't mean as much. And
maybe I'm the only one that feels that way, and
I'm still listen. I'm still excited about Clem's in LSU
in week one. I'm still excited about Michigan and Oklahoma
early in the year, certainly Texas, Ohio State, But I
just I think that's part of it too, is everybody
knows that any individual result doesn't matter the way that
(08:25):
it did two years ago, and I think that's part
of why there's probably not as much exciting.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
It will be interesting to see the ramifications, especially with
Ohio State losing to Michigan and then winning the national championship.
Does that happen in other scenarios as well? Does that
happen in an Iron Bowl? You know? Does that? You know?
Does that happen in an Oregon Washington match up? You
know those sort of things where your team loses and
then you go on to win and you have those
(08:50):
fan bases bickering over it. But I get what you're saying.
I think that the lack of having an Alabama there
is telling. I felt that Lebron James should have we
retired two years ago to allow the NBA to breathe,
But at some point I think that the league will
miss him, sure, And so that's kind of so with
(09:11):
college football. We had great coaches and Dabo's still at
Clemson with the national championship, but Jim Harbaugh's left Urban
Myers no longer coaching. But I think Saban still brought
it with just who he is and what Alabama is,
So it's not equal to everyone else. And I look
(09:32):
at the NFL. I don't even know if we miss
anybody from the NFL. I can tell you that we
actually we didn't miss Ben Roethlisberger. We didn't miss Philip Rivers,
we didn't miss Drew Brees. We probably didn't miss Peyton
Manning because Tom Brady just kept on playing. So if
there was any point of years past that we wanted
(09:55):
to carry on, it was just latched on to Brady
that we're like, okay, well at least Brady's still here
to keep things normal. Then Brady leaves and there wasn't
as much of a shock. And I don't know if
it's because Aaron Rodgers was still there, or Patrick Mahomes
has done what he's done, or Lamar Jackson and Josh
Allen have emerged, but I feel that's all part of it,
(10:18):
and that's what I find like so interesting is just
because you're great and you're like a massive star when
you leave, it doesn't necessarily translate into you actually being missed.
And we were just talking about Caitlyn Clark, and I'm
sorry for as much as growth as the women's game has,
(10:38):
I think we felt that college basketball did not. Women's
college basketball last year did not have the same oomph
as it did than when Kitlyn Clark was there the
last two years. And so technically in women's college basketball,
you can name all the players that they had and
what Yukon did, but it still wasn't necessarily the same.
And I think ratings proved that that sport missed Caitlin Clark.
(11:01):
I'm not sure every sport take away their superstar actually
misses their superstar.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
No, And I think it's a great point on the
NFL too, and I think it's obvious, but it is
such a unique like I think it's such a unique
business and enterprise in that it's one of the biggest
businesses that we have in America, and it continues to
find ways to grow, continues to find ways to be relevant.
And you know, if I can bring it back to
college football for a second, like, That's what I find
(11:30):
very interesting about the state of college football is I
think we're increasingly going to it's just a minor league
for the NFL from the perspective of expanded playoff, regular
season doesn't matter as much, players getting paid, all of that.
But the thing that makes the NFL the NFL, and
I think part of it is the juice angle that
you're talking about. The NFL finds ways to make you
(11:54):
care about the NFL in February and March with free
eight obviously February, but Arch with free agency, April with
the draft, May with the schedule release. And I know
this isn't necessarily a compare and the NFL to college football,
but I think that's where college football, and to the
point that you're making about there not being a lot
(12:14):
of buzz going into this season, I think that's where
college football you can't just keep expanding, expanding, expanding, expanding.
You have to make people care in other ways. And
I'll just I know it's not the focal point of
what we're talking about, but I just think it's an
interesting conversation that college football, in the growth that they've
experienced in expansion and paying players and all of the
(12:36):
things that have happened. I don't think they factored that
part in. And that's what the NFL does better than
everybody else.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
I mean, you know, major League Baseball for so long
was kind of looking for that star. Like I I
felt major League Baseball missed Derek Jeter when he retired,
Like I don't think it, you know, when a Rod
had his issues, Like there are other greats from that era,
but I felt and out bringing Jason or or Monci
(13:04):
in this and just because they're baseball heads, like I
felt something was missing from baseball when Jeter left, because
he's the captain, he's the Yankees, he's that generation that
we watched for so long and tied to, and then
there was nobody there in Major League Baseball to immediately
pick up or carry that torch. Did any of you
(13:26):
guys feel the same when Jeter retired a decade ago.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
Yeah, I think that's a fair statement. I feel like,
especially seeing the stars right now in baseball because there's
so many right now, I feel that people tune in
to watch and I think there was like a lull.
Speaker 6 (13:41):
Where, yeah, like it was like, uh, who am I
going to tune in?
Speaker 1 (13:44):
To watch well.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
And it wasn't just Jeter, it was Jeter was a
metaphor for like that era of the Yankees where it
was like, you know, it was the cliche, but it
was true whether you loved him or whether you hated him.
They were pretty much in the World Series every year,
and you were watching him, and you were watching the
root for him, watching him and root against him. And
I think Jeter was a metaphor for that era. And
then when he was gone, it was like, oh, that
(14:05):
era is officially over.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
I think that when you look at tennis and we're
just saying it right now, by the way, that my
way Derek Jeter commercial that they did, I think it
was gatorade like in this final year, like like I'm
you know, cutting onions, you know, chopping up onions and
watching it. I didn't care about the Yankees at all,
was never a Yankees fan, but like watching that, you know,
(14:30):
plus he's a Michigan guy, you know, like like I
have no reason to like Derek Jeter whatsoever, But seeing that,
I was like, oh, geez man, why you know, what's
up with the pollen man? This is crazy.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
In tennis, I'll say this the trio of the Federer.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
Nadal, Djokovic that we've had and become accustomed to, we
only have thirty three percent. Djokovic is still playing now
Federer and Nadala moved on. Serena Williams was women's tennis
for two decades and now I you know, we're talking
cocoa golf here and there. She's one of the many
that are out Madison Keyes's you know, just it was
(15:10):
Serena and during that time when you watched, you either
Serena was playing or you weren't paying attention. And so
like that's the level that I go to. That may
be the like the super extreme, but I think like
with even like the newer Carlos al Karez and Yannick Sinner,
who people are becoming more accustomed to, and with Djokovic
still playing, has really softened the loss of Federer and Naidal,
(15:32):
But there's been nothing to take the spot of Serena Williams,
and I don't think there there really ever will be
in women's tennis. But that's that's like one where I say, like, wow,
I truly miss because every summer we're waiting every other
day for Serena to play or even Venus for that matter,
but specifically Serena and I think that was that's a
big miss that we have in sports.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Let me ask you a question, Dan, obviously, you know
Kylee oops, guy whatever. I don't really feel like Duke
is as hateable without coach K. John Shire really has
no opinion or no personality. I'll actually say this, like
being at the final four him this year, he actually
seems like a genuinely nice human being.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
You know, we talked about Kershaw earlier.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
It's like with Shire, it was like, and it was
funny because I said he's the anti JJ Reddick, Like
basically nothing was about him. Everything was about how great
his coaching staff was, his players.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Were, the player's parents were. I owe it all to them.
Da da da da da.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
And it's like, you know, college hoops is a niche sport,
but so is tennis, so is whatever. And I do
feel like Duke is less hateable and because they're less hateable,
less interesting without coach K.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Jason Stewart's our executive producer.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
I was thinking the exact same thing. Aaron and I
come at it from completely different ways, Like he is
fully involved in the sport and I'm as casual as
you could be. So from my perspective, I have felt
that the last couple tournaments. I've felt the last two marches,
I have well that there's just there's no there there
(17:02):
sure so it was like either you were counting all
of Coach K's accolades or you were rooting against Duke.
But there was just something tangible, something memorable about those
And I totally agree.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Yes, I was gonna say, I'm like, on a certain level,
Jim Beheim at Syracuse and and like of that, but
not like Syracuse is so like far off the map,
like I don't I don't even remember any highlight from
any game at the Carrier Dome this past season, like none,
Like I don't remember it ever being spotlighted. But I
also think like with the absence and you're you're, you're
(17:38):
both right on Coach K. I also think it's helped
Tom Izzo's profile because he and I guess Mark few
if you want to, but it's still not you know,
ISO's Iszo I feel is the last him and Bill
Sealf and Mark view of the last ones. But I
think it's really helped Izzo of being that old guy
because of the showdowns that he had with Coach K
(17:59):
and Roy Williams and others. But I feel like Izzo
has kind of benefited from us missing a guy like
Coach K. You know.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
I think it's a great point, and I think he
was the one. I mean, he was as vocal as
any of them about, hey, you know, this portal thing's
kind of out of control, this nil thing. If we
thought about how we're gonna do it, and I think
the other guys and like, listen, I know it's easy
to just like bash. Like I understand Coach K is
like seventy three years old. He's like, I don't want
(18:28):
to just figure out anil Like, okay, so one day
we go from we can't pay players and we'll be
fired if we do to. There's literally no rules on
how much we can pay them. Like, So I don't
blame Coach K or Roy Williams or whatever for just saying,
you know what, I'll let somebody else figure this out.
I'm in my seventies. But I do think it does
give tom Izzo some cachet of like, oh crap, like
(18:52):
we watched him last year, you know. And again, if
you're not a diehard, you don't remember all the details,
but they won the Big Ten regular season. They went
to the Elite in the Elite eight, they lost to
the only team that was better.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
You know, they lost.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
They were as a two seed, they lost to a
one seed, and it's like, oh, Izzo still got the goods.
And I do think like, it's not like you move
him up in all time list because he's figured it out.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
But I think it's pretty cool that.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
You know, some guys just kind of punted on this
era un said I'll never figure it out, and he
was one that he's kind of doing it the same way.
He doesn't take a lot of transfers, he doesn't have
a team that shoots forty three is a game, and
it's like, oh, tom Izzo, there he has another Big
Ten championship.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
You know, who do you think or who do you
feel that you miss in sports? Who is sports missing?
We want to hear from you eight seven seven nine
nine on Fox A's eight seven seven nine nine to
six six' three six. Nine you can also reach us
on social. Media hit Up Aeron torres At Aeron Aaron
Underscore torres ON. X you can find me at Dan
(19:51):
byer On. Fox also On Blue. Sky Aeron, TORRES i
don't know if you knew, that but At Dan byer
On Blue sky as, well giving us your nominations of
who you actually missed in. Sports do you Think i'm
far off base with the quarterback stuff in THE.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Nfl, NO i think you're spot. ON i think it's
actually relatively.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Incredible And i'll be quick on this BECAUSE i know
we want to get to some calls and, stuff BUT
i think it's especially interesting given what did we spend
All april And may talking about who is the face
of THE? Nba do we need a face of THE?
Nba why don't we have a face of THE nba
in THE nfl is, like, yeah you, know just literally
the greatest quarterback ever retired and we're just gonna keep
(20:32):
chugging along without missing a.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Beat it's kind of.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Incredible AND i know it's easy to prop up THE
nfl and push down THE, nba BUT i think that
is an interesting analogy of even When brady was the
last of that group to, leave the, league didn't miss a,
beat and here we, are you, know still trying to
figure out As lebron is going about to be forty.
One we know he's nothing close to the best player
(20:55):
in the league. Anymore who is the quote unquote face
of the, league probably five six years after he last
should have.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Been he's Erin. Torres I'm Dan, Bayer Jason stewarts Here,
Iowa sam And Monty belanios at the news desk hanging
out For cavino And rich here on This thursday as
we get set for the fourth Of. July as we
are sitting here On july.
Speaker 7 (21:15):
Third Fox Sports radio had the best sports talk lineup
in the nation. Yet catch all of our shows At
Fox Sports radio Dot com and within The iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
Com here On rich here On Fox Sports. Radio we
always love the Input steve tweets In Major League. Baseball
never got Over Tommy losorda. Leaving we'll never see another
manager attacked At Philly fanatic or go after The San Diego.
Chicken very well, done, Fair. Steve i'll tell you, what
you don't always have to be a, superstar and sometimes
(21:46):
the opposite end of the. Spectrum by the, way It's
covino And rich here At Fox Sports. Radio he's Erin
torres And I'm Dan. Byer we were just talking about
who we've missed in, sports AND i think you can
even just take a guest With. Lebron at some point
the league will miss, him even though we get tired
of him and get tired of his. Antics there's going
to be a point where the league Misses Lebron. James
(22:07):
there's also the point and this Isn't Lebron. James Lebron
james isn't. IRREPLACEABLE i feel That Tiger woods was, Irreplaceable
like there will never be anybody that fills the void
in the gap that was left By Tiger woods just
kind OF i don't want to say fading away from the,
game but just not being involved for the variety of.
(22:28):
Reasons that is one that is just you're never going
to fill. It and as a golf, FAN i always
got annoyed for people who had criticized THE Pga tour
be like why can't he had no, Plan like there
is no plan for that to you, know to enter
and to, Exit Like Tiger woods is just the one of.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
One he was so obvious THAT i didn't even feel
like it was worth referencing in the last, segment.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Like it's just in my.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
LIFE i, mean he has to be you, know in
Kateln clark one day get, there but like he has
to be the most irreplaceable athlete, ever and there's just
never you, Know it's, like And i'm sure did you
let me ask you, this did you read That Army
cataean book that they did on? Him Not, tiger but,
NO i can't believe. That i've read it probably two
(23:17):
or three, times cover to. Cover it's like six hundred.
Pages it's. Incredible but when you understand how he was,
raised you just there's there will never be as long
as they are playing golf another golfer like. Him AND
i won't bore people too many, details but it's like
dad was in the. MILITARY i mean the dad used
to like train him like a football, player but with
(23:40):
a golf club in his. Hand you, know like, he's you,
know getting ready to tee, up and you, know the
dad's throwing stuff at, him screaming slurs at, him, whatever
just to kind of make him as mentally tough as he.
Was and then you add in the physical, ability the mental.
Ability there's never gonna be anyone like. Him and you
(24:00):
know we have seen like, obviously, Look Kobe bryant is
a facsimile Of Michael. Jordan he Isn't Michael. Jordan we
will just never see anyone anything Like Tiger. Woods and,
then by the, way let me also add this really quick,
too AND i didn't mean to go. Along the cultural
impact of being Half African, american Half asian in what
was at the time a very predominantly white. Support just
(24:20):
never gonna see anything like it.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
Again that, is it is a, huge huge, part especially
with the history of. Golf by the, way kudos to
you for reading a, book because not only DO i
not read, BOOKS i listened to. Them now that's that's.
Good that's the. Way SO i have to get the audio.
Book Jason, stewart are you with me on this or are?
Speaker 4 (24:39):
YOU i, MEAN i love to read AND i. Listen
BUT i was impressed by that by What aaron did right.
There he asked you if you read, it and you said,
no and then he says he read it at least
two or three, times and then he gave the number
of pages it. WAS i, mean that was a massive,
book you, know humble bragging about ten.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Seconds, well yeah, no because that was WHY i actually
thought that you might not have read. It is not
because you're not capable of reading six hundred. Pages but
because it is like a, commitment and you are obviously a,
father you're a radio, host you have a lot of.
RESPONSIBILITIES i love.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
It, Yeah i'm dead.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
Serious that's why.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
It wasn't like a, look guess you could read six
hundred pages and guess who.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Can't happy to a.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
LOT i actually felt you knew me that you're the
com man his attention, span.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Which IS i know you're AND i know you're the
most passionate golf fan That i've ever.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Met so that's WHY i thought if it.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Was a you, know six hundred page book On Serena,
WILLIAMS i might not have asked no.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
Offense but you, know there is something about diving into
a good. BOOK i think that we can all, appreciate
Including Manzi, belanios who's going to dive into her. UPDATE
i Appreciate Aaron torres not only reading a book BECAUSE
i don't read books. Twice it's one and. DONE i
am set for THE. NBA i would be The cooper
flag OF i am The cooper flag of. Books one and.
(26:01):
Done let's get to the next, Thing, manci what's going?
Speaker 6 (26:04):
ON i can reread a, book not a, lot BUT i. Can.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Well the problem is when you finish a good, book
if you don't have the good book to follow up with,
it it's like A netflix, set, right and you just
default to something that you already.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
Know.
Speaker 6 (26:17):
RIGHT i feel like.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
The, audiobooks they feel so much like, cheating BUT i
still feel good about, it like Because i'm, like, oh
just sitting along in the drive and listen for forty five.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Minutes Moby, Dick no big, Deal, yeah just caught it. Yesterday,
yeah ever you know anything about?
Speaker 3 (26:34):
That?
Speaker 1 (26:34):
NO i, don't.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
GUYS i feel LIKE i feel like listening to books
is much more accepted now than it was even ten years.
Ago it's kind of like when you meet somebody on,
tender like you typically wouldn't tell your folks, that but
now it's like very, accepted.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
You know that specific.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
THING i feel like it's almost a default to people
assume now that's where people. Met LIKE i was on
vacation last week and they were, like, oh, yeah we
were with MY i was with my wife, obviously and
they were, like, oh, so, like where'd you guys meet
on an? App AND i was, like, no we met
at a bar like normal human, Beings like what the,
Hell so.
Speaker 6 (27:09):
Well that is.
Speaker 5 (27:09):
Normal Ryan berschinger just married his last not tender but
wherever they.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Met that's WHAT i, Mean that's What i'm. Saying it's
like it's almost a default of. People now assume.
Speaker 6 (27:20):
One of those it might have Been.
Speaker 5 (27:21):
Hinge actually it might have been Hing, yeah so it,
is it is becoming the.
Speaker 6 (27:25):
Norm you're Not you're not.
Speaker 3 (27:27):
Wrong.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
Yeah one THING i wanted to say on THAT i
wonder what the normal action on the first pitch of
the third inning of a regular Season major league baseball game,
Is AND i wonder how much had to be bet
for it to be.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Flagged you know What i'm.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
Saying, yeah you know it's an easy, bet, right it's
one day that is, done you. Know but you're then,
wondering like why would all these people be betting on
The Luis ortiz first? Pitch so there'd have to be
some sort of. Irregularity But Jason stewart made the point
off the air to me that the pitch had to
(28:03):
be so bad because you have to make sure that
the batter doesn't even think about swinging right like usually
like it's like, okay first, pitch take you can put one.
Over is a. Fastball but you have to leave everything
like you can't leave anything the. Chance so there's one
pitch that was it was a, ball, definitely but the
second one didn't make it fifty feet, yeah, right like
(28:26):
one top ten feet away from the. Plate, yeah and
that's but he had that's and that's your first pitch
of the.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Game, Yeah but he didn't get caught because it was
a bad. Pitch he got caught because there was so
much irregularity on. It SO i just wonder if it's
like everyone's just been ten bucks on their. Phone oh,
yeah first pitch is a, ball and then somebody was
like eight thousand dollars on a ball and that was
how he got.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
Caught that's What i'm interested.
Speaker 6 (28:50):
By m m, oh That's.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
Bertie fred'll find that.
Speaker 6 (28:53):
Out i'll find that.
Speaker 5 (28:54):
Out Don't Run derby is scheduled For, Monday july, Fifteenth
and now we have a third.
Speaker 6 (28:58):
Participant It's National Star James.
Speaker 5 (29:00):
Wood Ronald Thecunya junior And Cal rawley were the other
two that have already been mentioned in THE. Nfl steelers
announced that they signed Gm Omar kontu a three year
contract that's going to keep him with the team through
at least the twenty twenty eight. Season in THE, Nba
mavericks Assistant Jared dudley is finalizing a deal to become
the top assistant coach for The Denver nuggets Under David.
Addelman and death taxes And Joey chestnut winning The Hotdog
(29:24):
eating contest are.
Speaker 6 (29:25):
The surest things going on in the.
Speaker 5 (29:26):
World and after missing last year because of that sponsorship,
dispute he is going to compete in the twenty twenty
five competition and he's an enormous favorite minus sixteen. Hundred
like this is the one thing you can count. On
he's going to win his Seventeenth Yellow. Belt back to you, guys.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
Can't wait till. Tomorrow it's one of those. Traditions, oh
it's so. MAGNIFICENT i get what you're, Saying aaron with
The Luis, ortis but it is like anything of it's
the irregularity that tips the investigators of the casinos, off
even like The Malik beasley. Play have you seen this
video clip Of Gary Payton junior? Circulating not, yet so
(30:07):
it's it's around so people are speculating that Maybe Gary
payton the second had some interest in a certain game
because of what the spread was and how he was
reacting on the bench to certain things in a game
that was about like a twelve point. Spread so this
(30:27):
is all OVER x a couple of days ago and
all over TikTok Of Gary payton being, like oh my,
gosh how did you? Know because of fouls at the,
end AND i just that will always tip you off
of the bets coming. In that's how they're gonna. Know
like you and me watching That Cardinals guardians game would
not have thought anything Of Louis. Ortiz we've just been, like,
(30:52):
boy that was. Weird maybe now we'd flippantly go geo
whenever he's got something on. It but but you're, right
like the amount of bets or what was coming in
for the number of wagers on that bet is what
tips people. Off but then when you see, it you're just,
like oh my, gosh so this this is the, Worst
like how do you not hide? It but it does
(31:13):
have to go in that way because, otherwise if we
just saw that first, pitch we wouldn't have the context
of the.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
Betting, Yeah i'm just.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
WONDERING i guess it, doesn't BUT i guess that it,
Does like does that, trigger just a warning in the
casual fan of, like, oh a Major league baseball pitcher
just bounced the first pitch of the. GAME i don't,
know just talking out loud, here LIKE, i here's my.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
Thing why do You why is everything?
Speaker 1 (31:39):
Betable LIKE, i you, Know i'll say this real.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
Quick.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
No Martin, weiss who hosts the show before me On,
saturdays made this, argument and as it pertains To Malik,
beasley he's, like maybe we're just offering too many things to.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Bet AND i know That.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
Mark it was actually On, SUNDAY i guess it, was
But Mark willard was, like, well, yeah well they're not
scaling back the things to, bet.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
SO i get it. IT i just like that is
something to mess. WITH a points spread is and that
takes some maneuvering to just throw a first pitch ball
takes nothing like, it and it doesn't it doesn't necessarily
affect your. Team it's so minute in the game THAT
(32:25):
i JUST i don't think that it's necessarily, worth you,
know having out there as a. Bet but, hey to
each their. OWN i don't. Know maybe too much is
too much of one thing is never. Good AND i
just think that a first pitch ball or. Strike our
Teammate Jared smith always tweets about no run first. Innings
that's what he bets. On but that's you have more, opportunities,
(32:48):
Right you have three, batters you possibly three outs each.
Side all of those make. Sense but to do it
on just one pitch that seems to be you, know too.
Minute it's, like you, know just on a make or
misshot in AN nba. Game, anyway for another, day at another.
Speaker 7 (33:04):
Time Fox Sports radio has the best sports talk lineup
in the. Nation catch all of our shows at foxsports
radio dot com and within The iHeartRadio.
Speaker 3 (33:12):
App It's covenor And rich here On Fox Sports. Radio
he's Eron. Torres I'm Dan. Byer we almost did, It,
aaron we almost did. It i'll tell you what that
means in just a. Second for over forty, Years tyrerak
has been helping customers find the right tires for, how
what and where they. Drive ship fast and free back
by Free road has a protection with convenient installation options
(33:34):
like mobile tire installation tirerac dot com the way tire
buying should. Be we almost did, it but we are
gonna fall short of our goal of not talking About
DeAndre eight into The lakers because for some, reason for some,
REASON i don't think it's captivated the minds Of. AMERICA
i think it's captivated the interest of sports shows that
(33:57):
have nothing else to talk about and feel like it
is a. Solution so their problem of let's Take DeAndre,
ayton let's put him in A lakers, uniform and now
talk about all of the, possibilities, which by the, Way
i'm fine talking about in. ESSENCE i just don't think
that we should be talking about it like this is
(34:18):
going to change the odds for AN nba. Championship, yeah it's.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
Funny listen The lakers to their. Credit, listen they move the,
needle they, do they. Matter more people care about The
lakers than any OTHER nba. Franchise, okay that doesn't mean
that we have to pretend that things that aren't true are.
True and it's just, like you, know even you go
(34:43):
back to last, Year luca gets. Traded it's this wild
moment that none of us had anticipated, whatever and then
it immediately defaults To, wow The lakers are they got
to be the favorites, now, Right and it's, like wait a,
second we got, uh we got a forty year old.
Superstar we have a second superstar coming off injury who's
(35:04):
clearly out of. Shape no rim, protection no. Defense they're
actually not a contender at. All, NOW i didn't think
they were gonna lose necessarily in five games in the
opening round of the, playoffs but it doesn't change the
fact that everything gets blown up because it's The. Lakers
and so some of the discourse On DeAndre Ay in
(35:25):
as if part of the reason he was available was
because he wasn't just because he wasn't disappointing as a
member of The Portland trailblazers is. Preposterous did they need?
Speaker 1 (35:36):
Size? Yes Is DeAndre? Inserviceable?
Speaker 2 (35:40):
Yes to your, point is he going to be the
difference between them getting out of either the first round
or wherever that you think that they should be and
where they were to end last, Season, no he is
not not at.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
All The Kevin durant conversation To houston is were of,
that AND i think that we've seen that In Las
vegas and the. Changes this isn't going to change anything
with The. Lakers the thing that's going to change with
The lakers is If Lebron james decides that he wants
to be traded and wants to leave before this, season
and that's the only thing that's going to. CHANGE i
(36:16):
don't think that's going to, happen BUT i just felt
like we're at this point because we're a couple of
days in free, agency and, LISTEN i get. It like
when the news broke, YESTERDAY i was at the news.
Desk it was my first. Story there weren't huge stories
yesterday outside Of Mike brown being named The knick's head,
coach but still is a story that we were waiting
(36:36):
on and waiting, on and then when it finally happened
where he cleared, waivers and then there's the report just
minutes after. THAT i understand all of, that and that is.
Fine that's reporting on what's. Happening and it happened to
be one of the bigger stories that we had leading
Into Clayton kershaw's Night Gold cup with THE us men's national,
team a whole bunch of other, stuff but for a
(36:57):
moment in, time it was a big. STORY i am
right there with you and how it affects The lakers
and how we will examine that move to THEIR nba title,
chances especially considering we don't know the status Of Lebron.
James and that's to your point of even With, lebron
they weren't a title, contender and so now you're taking
(37:18):
something that didn't necessarily work In. Portland they didn't want
them In phoenix. Anymore yet Now i'm seeing tweets of,
hey the first and third overall picks from the twenty
eighteen draft are now on the same, team and be,
like all, right that would have been cool in twenty,
eighteen that would have been. Unique then we're in twenty
twenty five now where we have a lot more information
about both, players AND i JUST i find it a bit.
(37:42):
Absurd but we talked about it by talking about the
absurdity and how everybody now wants to put The lakers
in a championship window contention because of this.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
MOVE i don't know if you saw the same reporter
put it out THAT i did about the first and third,
pick AND i won't call him out because he's a
good reporter, otherwise but like the first four comments were, like,
dude it's ear, Eight LIKE i don't think there's a
ton of Untapped DeAndre eight in. Potential that just all
it's gonna take is the magic fingers OF Jj. REDDICK
i think he kind of is who he is at
(38:12):
this point in year eight of HIS nba, career.
Speaker 3 (38:15):
Just like When lebron And carmelo ended up teaming up
with The lakers in twenty twenty, two and it was, Like,
hey the first and third overall picks from the two
thousand and three drafts are getting together and playing in THE.
Nba all, right before we let you. GO i have
one question to. Ask i'm A bucks. FAN i feel
That i'm too close to. This do you feel bad
(38:36):
for the position that The bucks are in right?
Speaker 2 (38:37):
Now i'll try to be brief because we don't have much.
TIME i feel bad because there were certain seasons WHICH
i believe they had a championship team that was derailed by,
injuries most notably twenty twenty. TWO i don't feel, terrible,
though because many of the decisions that have put them
into the position they are now are because they Let
(38:59):
giannis be COME gm at some point in the last
two or three.
Speaker 3 (39:01):
Years AND i think that's. FAIR i think if what
went out Of milwaukee happened In, boston In Golden state
or with The, lakers there would be zero ounce of
anybody feeling sorry for. THEM i think there's something That.
Giannis there's something In milwaukee and there's something about that. Pairing,
aaron have a happy fourth you're on tomorrow. Night i'm
With monsey. Tomorrow everybody be, safe drive. Safe we'll talk
(39:24):

Speaker 3 (00:19):
Appreciate them now, because you never know when you're gonna
miss them. Welcome in back again with Aaron Torres. I'm
Dan Byer in for Covino and Rich here on a Thursday,
a July fourth, even Independence Day eve. It is July three.
Welcome to Fox Sports Radio. Jason Stewart's our executive producer.
(00:39):
Iowa Sam our technical producer. And I thought Manzie Milano's
at the news desk was just a leading with the
Luis or Ties story earlier so she could flex her
Luis or Tis pronunciation. However, Aaron, when I saw this pitch,
Oh my goodness, did you see this Luis Ortiz pitch?
Speaker 1 (00:57):
No, that is under investigation. I'm gonna look it up
right now.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
The one thing I will say, I don't totally know
what those integrity groups do, but I know that they
are like they're unbelievable with the things that they can uncover.
And when you hear that one of the integrity firms
is involved, uh yeah, you probably did something and you're
gonna get in a lot of trouble for it.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
So MANSI, I.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Know that you've oh, I see it now, but going okay.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Hey, there's the one against the Mariners that is kind
of like, okay, the one against the Cardinals. My goodness,
like this thing it it one hopped. It one hopped
about fifty two feet from the pitcher's mound. It was
I mean it was it was like halfway to the plate.
(01:50):
Like it wasn't even close. So there's a reason why
Major League Baseball needs to needs to investigate.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
This would be like this would be like I need
to get fired from Fox Sports Radio because of XYZ.
I'm gonna do it to lead hour two and then
you're just like, Aaron, how are you? And then I
just rip off like eight straight expletives in a row.
Now it's like, okay, now we have to fire them.
It's like okay, Yeah, it's not a perfect analogy, but
if you were betting on yourself to throw a ball,
(02:21):
it doesn't get much more of a ball than that
one right there.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
People think the Malik Beasley late bucket to cover the
spread was obvious. This is one hundred times worse like
this is. It's just I get it now, I absolutely
get it. I thought it was another case of like,
all right, whatever, this thing wasn't even close because the
(02:45):
bet was apparently on a first pitch strike, you could
throw it anywhere. He could throw it to the moon,
and Luis Ortiz may have tried to. It felt like
he tried to throw it to the core of the earth,
like that's how far short came from home plate. But
that's what major League Baseball is looking into. And Luis Ortiz,
(03:06):
if that's any evidence, I think is going to be
missing some more time in Major League Baseball than just
the leave that he was placed on today. Welcome in.
It is Caveno or Rich here on Fox Sports Radio.
For over forty years, Tiraq has been helping customers find
the right tires for how, what and where they drive.
Ship fast and free back by free road has in
protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation tireraq
(03:29):
dot Com the way tire buying should be. It's crazy
to think, but next week is actually the start of
the college football season. And I say that because you
know it, But for those of you that don't know,
media days starting up. Big twelve has their media availabilities
starting on Tuesday of next week. The SEC will follow
in the following week, and then the Big Ten will
(03:49):
have theirs later on in the month of July in
Las Vegas. Same thing with the ACC. But next week
we're going to be talking college football. And yesterday on
Fox Sports Radio on The Doug Gottlieb Show, executive producer
Jason Stewart, who's hanging out with us, brought up the
topic of the midway and what we were looking forward
(04:11):
to for the rest of the season, for the rest
of the year, excuse me, and Aaron, I said something
in there about college football because I feel that there's
not a lot of buzz with college football entering this season,
and I think one of the reasons is because there's
no Nick Saban. And I realized now how much college
(04:35):
football missus Saban being in the game. And I think
last year we felt, well, Alabama is still Alabama. How
are they going to respond without Saban? I didn't believe
that Alabama was still Alabama. And it showed last year
and now we enter this year and I don't think
(04:55):
Alabama is a part of any major conversation when talking
about college football. And when we're talking about college football,
we're talking about Arch Manning, We're talking about Penn State
and maybe little Ohio State, a little of Ohio State,
and what can Dion do now in Colorado. Outside of that,
(05:16):
I know, conference wise, there's gonna be stuff, but on
a national scale, I don't think that there's a ton
for people to latch onto right now. And I think
part of the reason is because a figure like Nick
Saban and what he meant to Alabama is no longer
in the game. And I feel that college football we're
really feeling the effects of no Nick Saban in the game.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
So two quick thoughts, because I know you want to
open it up to the group. One.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
First of all, even with the Arch Manning stuff, it
felt that did this week feel a little manufactured too?
Like it was just nobody there's nothing to talk about. Oh,
let's get Paul Finebaum on and have him say something crazy.
And that was where he said, Oh, I think arch
is gonna be the best quarterback since Tim Tebow, And
then it just became a talking point and it didn't
feel to me. It didn't feel organic. It felt like
(06:03):
we need somebody to say something crazy so we have
something to talk about. And I don't even think even
with Arch it's as big as I think. I think
a lot of people are intrigued, but I don't think
it's as big as people think. The other thing too,
Dan that I'm gonna say, and I do think Saban
is a big part of why there's no buzz. I
am gonna say something extremely unpopular, but I truly believe it.
(06:28):
I think part of the reason there's no buzz is
because individual games do not matter as much anymore, and
so it's like, yeah, Ohio State Texas.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Is gonna be really cool, but either of.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Those teams can lose, and it's like whatever, and I
it's a broader conversation for another day. You and I
will probably be filling in at some point and we
can dive into this. But like, what made college football
college football was that every single Saturday mattered every single year,
and that just in the case anymore. So it's like, yeah,
we can be excited for Ohio State Texas, but ultimately
(07:05):
it doesn't have the stakes that it would have even two, three,
four years ago, And I think that's part of.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
It as well. Maybe I'm crazy, but I think that's
part of it as well.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
The only pushback that I would give to that is
last year July third, we were not looking forward to
an Indiana Ohio state game, and then Indiana does what
they do and all of a sudden, that becomes quite
the matchup.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
I'm not saying there's not individual games that matter over
the course of the year.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
I do think that.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
And by the way, it actually didn't end up mattering
because both teams made the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Sure, so with the lead up to it, there was
there was hype.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Oh yeah, and there was there was hype in the
lead up to a lot of games. But I just
think that I don't know, it's just it's just I
don't want to say it's like again, I think individual
fan bases like, yeah, you're excited about your team and
you're worried about this, and you're this and that.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
But as a sport, I think it's harder to.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Like on a week two week basis, feel as invested
when you know the games don't mean as much. And
maybe I'm the only one that feels that way, and
I'm still listen. I'm still excited about Clem's in LSU
in week one. I'm still excited about Michigan and Oklahoma
early in the year, certainly Texas, Ohio State, But I
just I think that's part of it too, is everybody
knows that any individual result doesn't matter the way that
(08:25):
it did two years ago, and I think that's part
of why there's probably not as much exciting.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
It will be interesting to see the ramifications, especially with
Ohio State losing to Michigan and then winning the national championship.
Does that happen in other scenarios as well? Does that
happen in an Iron Bowl? You know? Does that? You know?
Does that happen in an Oregon Washington match up? You
know those sort of things where your team loses and
then you go on to win and you have those
(08:50):
fan bases bickering over it. But I get what you're saying.
I think that the lack of having an Alabama there
is telling. I felt that Lebron James should have we
retired two years ago to allow the NBA to breathe,
But at some point I think that the league will
miss him, sure, And so that's kind of so with
(09:11):
college football. We had great coaches and Dabo's still at
Clemson with the national championship, but Jim Harbaugh's left Urban
Myers no longer coaching. But I think Saban still brought
it with just who he is and what Alabama is,
So it's not equal to everyone else. And I look
(09:32):
at the NFL. I don't even know if we miss
anybody from the NFL. I can tell you that we
actually we didn't miss Ben Roethlisberger. We didn't miss Philip Rivers,
we didn't miss Drew Brees. We probably didn't miss Peyton
Manning because Tom Brady just kept on playing. So if
there was any point of years past that we wanted
(09:55):
to carry on, it was just latched on to Brady
that we're like, okay, well at least Brady's still here
to keep things normal. Then Brady leaves and there wasn't
as much of a shock. And I don't know if
it's because Aaron Rodgers was still there, or Patrick Mahomes
has done what he's done, or Lamar Jackson and Josh
Allen have emerged, but I feel that's all part of it,
(10:18):
and that's what I find like so interesting is just
because you're great and you're like a massive star when
you leave, it doesn't necessarily translate into you actually being missed.
And we were just talking about Caitlyn Clark, and I'm
sorry for as much as growth as the women's game has,
(10:38):
I think we felt that college basketball did not. Women's
college basketball last year did not have the same oomph
as it did than when Kitlyn Clark was there the
last two years. And so technically in women's college basketball,
you can name all the players that they had and
what Yukon did, but it still wasn't necessarily the same.
And I think ratings proved that that sport missed Caitlin Clark.
(11:01):
I'm not sure every sport take away their superstar actually
misses their superstar.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
No, And I think it's a great point on the
NFL too, and I think it's obvious, but it is
such a unique like I think it's such a unique
business and enterprise in that it's one of the biggest
businesses that we have in America, and it continues to
find ways to grow, continues to find ways to be relevant.
And you know, if I can bring it back to
college football for a second, like, That's what I find
(11:30):
very interesting about the state of college football is I
think we're increasingly going to it's just a minor league
for the NFL from the perspective of expanded playoff, regular
season doesn't matter as much, players getting paid, all of that.
But the thing that makes the NFL the NFL, and
I think part of it is the juice angle that
you're talking about. The NFL finds ways to make you
(11:54):
care about the NFL in February and March with free
eight obviously February, but Arch with free agency, April with
the draft, May with the schedule release. And I know
this isn't necessarily a compare and the NFL to college football,
but I think that's where college football, and to the
point that you're making about there not being a lot
(12:14):
of buzz going into this season, I think that's where
college football you can't just keep expanding, expanding, expanding, expanding.
You have to make people care in other ways. And
I'll just I know it's not the focal point of
what we're talking about, but I just think it's an
interesting conversation that college football, in the growth that they've
experienced in expansion and paying players and all of the
(12:36):
things that have happened. I don't think they factored that
part in. And that's what the NFL does better than
everybody else.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
I mean, you know, major League Baseball for so long
was kind of looking for that star. Like I I
felt major League Baseball missed Derek Jeter when he retired,
Like I don't think it, you know, when a Rod
had his issues, Like there are other greats from that era,
but I felt and out bringing Jason or or Monci
(13:04):
in this and just because they're baseball heads, like I
felt something was missing from baseball when Jeter left, because
he's the captain, he's the Yankees, he's that generation that
we watched for so long and tied to, and then
there was nobody there in Major League Baseball to immediately
pick up or carry that torch. Did any of you
(13:26):
guys feel the same when Jeter retired a decade ago.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
Yeah, I think that's a fair statement. I feel like,
especially seeing the stars right now in baseball because there's
so many right now, I feel that people tune in
to watch and I think there was like a lull.
Speaker 6 (13:41):
Where, yeah, like it was like, uh, who am I
going to tune in?
Speaker 1 (13:44):
To watch well.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
And it wasn't just Jeter, it was Jeter was a
metaphor for like that era of the Yankees where it
was like, you know, it was the cliche, but it
was true whether you loved him or whether you hated him.
They were pretty much in the World Series every year,
and you were watching him, and you were watching the
root for him, watching him and root against him. And
I think Jeter was a metaphor for that era. And
then when he was gone, it was like, oh, that
(14:05):
era is officially over.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
I think that when you look at tennis and we're
just saying it right now, by the way, that my
way Derek Jeter commercial that they did, I think it
was gatorade like in this final year, like like I'm
you know, cutting onions, you know, chopping up onions and
watching it. I didn't care about the Yankees at all,
was never a Yankees fan, but like watching that, you know,
(14:30):
plus he's a Michigan guy, you know, like like I
have no reason to like Derek Jeter whatsoever, But seeing that,
I was like, oh, geez man, why you know, what's
up with the pollen man? This is crazy.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
In tennis, I'll say this the trio of the Federer.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
Nadal, Djokovic that we've had and become accustomed to, we
only have thirty three percent. Djokovic is still playing now
Federer and Nadala moved on. Serena Williams was women's tennis
for two decades and now I you know, we're talking
cocoa golf here and there. She's one of the many
that are out Madison Keyes's you know, just it was
(15:10):
Serena and during that time when you watched, you either
Serena was playing or you weren't paying attention. And so
like that's the level that I go to. That may
be the like the super extreme, but I think like
with even like the newer Carlos al Karez and Yannick Sinner,
who people are becoming more accustomed to, and with Djokovic
still playing, has really softened the loss of Federer and Naidal,
(15:32):
But there's been nothing to take the spot of Serena Williams,
and I don't think there there really ever will be
in women's tennis. But that's that's like one where I say, like, wow,
I truly miss because every summer we're waiting every other
day for Serena to play or even Venus for that matter,
but specifically Serena and I think that was that's a
big miss that we have in sports.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Let me ask you a question, Dan, obviously, you know
Kylee oops, guy whatever. I don't really feel like Duke
is as hateable without coach K. John Shire really has
no opinion or no personality. I'll actually say this, like
being at the final four him this year, he actually
seems like a genuinely nice human being.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
You know, we talked about Kershaw earlier.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
It's like with Shire, it was like, and it was
funny because I said he's the anti JJ Reddick, Like
basically nothing was about him. Everything was about how great
his coaching staff was, his players.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Were, the player's parents were. I owe it all to them.
Da da da da da.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
And it's like, you know, college hoops is a niche sport,
but so is tennis, so is whatever. And I do
feel like Duke is less hateable and because they're less hateable,
less interesting without coach K.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Jason Stewart's our executive producer.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
I was thinking the exact same thing. Aaron and I
come at it from completely different ways, Like he is
fully involved in the sport and I'm as casual as
you could be. So from my perspective, I have felt
that the last couple tournaments. I've felt the last two marches,
I have well that there's just there's no there there
(17:02):
sure so it was like either you were counting all
of Coach K's accolades or you were rooting against Duke.
But there was just something tangible, something memorable about those
And I totally agree.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Yes, I was gonna say, I'm like, on a certain level,
Jim Beheim at Syracuse and and like of that, but
not like Syracuse is so like far off the map,
like I don't I don't even remember any highlight from
any game at the Carrier Dome this past season, like none,
Like I don't remember it ever being spotlighted. But I
also think like with the absence and you're you're, you're
(17:38):
both right on Coach K. I also think it's helped
Tom Izzo's profile because he and I guess Mark few
if you want to, but it's still not you know,
ISO's Iszo I feel is the last him and Bill
Sealf and Mark view of the last ones. But I
think it's really helped Izzo of being that old guy
because of the showdowns that he had with Coach K
(17:59):
and Roy Williams and others. But I feel like Izzo
has kind of benefited from us missing a guy like
Coach K. You know.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
I think it's a great point, and I think he
was the one. I mean, he was as vocal as
any of them about, hey, you know, this portal thing's
kind of out of control, this nil thing. If we
thought about how we're gonna do it, and I think
the other guys and like, listen, I know it's easy
to just like bash. Like I understand Coach K is
like seventy three years old. He's like, I don't want
(18:28):
to just figure out anil Like, okay, so one day
we go from we can't pay players and we'll be
fired if we do to. There's literally no rules on
how much we can pay them. Like, So I don't
blame Coach K or Roy Williams or whatever for just saying,
you know what, I'll let somebody else figure this out.
I'm in my seventies. But I do think it does
give tom Izzo some cachet of like, oh crap, like
(18:52):
we watched him last year, you know. And again, if
you're not a diehard, you don't remember all the details,
but they won the Big Ten regular season. They went
to the Elite in the Elite eight, they lost to
the only team that was better.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
You know, they lost.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
They were as a two seed, they lost to a
one seed, and it's like, oh, Izzo still got the goods.
And I do think like, it's not like you move
him up in all time list because he's figured it out.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
But I think it's pretty cool that.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
You know, some guys just kind of punted on this
era un said I'll never figure it out, and he
was one that he's kind of doing it the same way.
He doesn't take a lot of transfers, he doesn't have
a team that shoots forty three is a game, and
it's like, oh, tom Izzo, there he has another Big
Ten championship.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
You know, who do you think or who do you
feel that you miss in sports? Who is sports missing?
We want to hear from you eight seven seven nine
nine on Fox A's eight seven seven nine nine to
six six' three six. Nine you can also reach us
on social. Media hit Up Aeron torres At Aeron Aaron
Underscore torres ON. X you can find me at Dan
(19:51):
byer On. Fox also On Blue. Sky Aeron, TORRES i
don't know if you knew, that but At Dan byer
On Blue sky as, well giving us your nominations of
who you actually missed in. Sports do you Think i'm
far off base with the quarterback stuff in THE.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Nfl, NO i think you're spot. ON i think it's
actually relatively.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Incredible And i'll be quick on this BECAUSE i know
we want to get to some calls and, stuff BUT
i think it's especially interesting given what did we spend
All april And may talking about who is the face
of THE? Nba do we need a face of THE?
Nba why don't we have a face of THE nba
in THE nfl is, like, yeah you, know just literally
the greatest quarterback ever retired and we're just gonna keep
(20:32):
chugging along without missing a.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Beat it's kind of.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Incredible AND i know it's easy to prop up THE
nfl and push down THE, nba BUT i think that
is an interesting analogy of even When brady was the
last of that group to, leave the, league didn't miss a,
beat and here we, are you, know still trying to
figure out As lebron is going about to be forty.
One we know he's nothing close to the best player
(20:55):
in the league. Anymore who is the quote unquote face
of the, league probably five six years after he last
should have.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Been he's Erin. Torres I'm Dan, Bayer Jason stewarts Here,
Iowa sam And Monty belanios at the news desk hanging
out For cavino And rich here on This thursday as
we get set for the fourth Of. July as we
are sitting here On july.
Speaker 7 (21:15):
Third Fox Sports radio had the best sports talk lineup
in the nation. Yet catch all of our shows At
Fox Sports radio Dot com and within The iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
Com here On rich here On Fox Sports. Radio we
always love the Input steve tweets In Major League. Baseball
never got Over Tommy losorda. Leaving we'll never see another
manager attacked At Philly fanatic or go after The San Diego.
Chicken very well, done, Fair. Steve i'll tell you, what
you don't always have to be a, superstar and sometimes
(21:46):
the opposite end of the. Spectrum by the, way It's
covino And rich here At Fox Sports. Radio he's Erin
torres And I'm Dan. Byer we were just talking about
who we've missed in, sports AND i think you can
even just take a guest With. Lebron at some point
the league will miss, him even though we get tired
of him and get tired of his. Antics there's going
to be a point where the league Misses Lebron. James
(22:07):
there's also the point and this Isn't Lebron. James Lebron
james isn't. IRREPLACEABLE i feel That Tiger woods was, Irreplaceable
like there will never be anybody that fills the void
in the gap that was left By Tiger woods just
kind OF i don't want to say fading away from the,
game but just not being involved for the variety of.
(22:28):
Reasons that is one that is just you're never going
to fill. It and as a golf, FAN i always
got annoyed for people who had criticized THE Pga tour
be like why can't he had no, Plan like there
is no plan for that to you, know to enter
and to, Exit Like Tiger woods is just the one of.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
One he was so obvious THAT i didn't even feel
like it was worth referencing in the last, segment.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Like it's just in my.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
LIFE i, mean he has to be you, know in
Kateln clark one day get, there but like he has
to be the most irreplaceable athlete, ever and there's just
never you, Know it's, like And i'm sure did you
let me ask you, this did you read That Army
cataean book that they did on? Him Not, tiger but,
NO i can't believe. That i've read it probably two
(23:17):
or three, times cover to. Cover it's like six hundred.
Pages it's. Incredible but when you understand how he was,
raised you just there's there will never be as long
as they are playing golf another golfer like. Him AND
i won't bore people too many, details but it's like
dad was in the. MILITARY i mean the dad used
to like train him like a football, player but with
(23:40):
a golf club in his. Hand you, know like, he's you,
know getting ready to tee, up and you, know the
dad's throwing stuff at, him screaming slurs at, him, whatever
just to kind of make him as mentally tough as he.
Was and then you add in the physical, ability the mental.
Ability there's never gonna be anyone like. Him and you
(24:00):
know we have seen like, obviously, Look Kobe bryant is
a facsimile Of Michael. Jordan he Isn't Michael. Jordan we
will just never see anyone anything Like Tiger. Woods and,
then by the, way let me also add this really quick,
too AND i didn't mean to go. Along the cultural
impact of being Half African, american Half asian in what
was at the time a very predominantly white. Support just
(24:20):
never gonna see anything like it.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
Again that, is it is a, huge huge, part especially
with the history of. Golf by the, way kudos to
you for reading a, book because not only DO i
not read, BOOKS i listened to. Them now that's that's.
Good that's the. Way SO i have to get the audio.
Book Jason, stewart are you with me on this or are?
Speaker 4 (24:39):
YOU i, MEAN i love to read AND i. Listen
BUT i was impressed by that by What aaron did right.
There he asked you if you read, it and you said,
no and then he says he read it at least
two or three, times and then he gave the number
of pages it. WAS i, mean that was a massive,
book you, know humble bragging about ten.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Seconds, well yeah, no because that was WHY i actually
thought that you might not have read. It is not
because you're not capable of reading six hundred. Pages but
because it is like a, commitment and you are obviously a,
father you're a radio, host you have a lot of.
RESPONSIBILITIES i love.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
It, Yeah i'm dead.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
Serious that's why.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
It wasn't like a, look guess you could read six
hundred pages and guess who.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Can't happy to a.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
LOT i actually felt you knew me that you're the
com man his attention, span.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Which IS i know you're AND i know you're the
most passionate golf fan That i've ever.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Met so that's WHY i thought if it.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Was a you, know six hundred page book On Serena,
WILLIAMS i might not have asked no.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
Offense but you, know there is something about diving into
a good. BOOK i think that we can all, appreciate
Including Manzi, belanios who's going to dive into her. UPDATE
i Appreciate Aaron torres not only reading a book BECAUSE
i don't read books. Twice it's one and. DONE i
am set for THE. NBA i would be The cooper
flag OF i am The cooper flag of. Books one and.
(26:01):
Done let's get to the next, Thing, manci what's going?
Speaker 6 (26:04):
ON i can reread a, book not a, lot BUT i. Can.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Well the problem is when you finish a good, book
if you don't have the good book to follow up with,
it it's like A netflix, set, right and you just
default to something that you already.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
Know.
Speaker 6 (26:17):
RIGHT i feel like.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
The, audiobooks they feel so much like, cheating BUT i
still feel good about, it like Because i'm, like, oh
just sitting along in the drive and listen for forty five.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Minutes Moby, Dick no big, Deal, yeah just caught it. Yesterday,
yeah ever you know anything about?
Speaker 3 (26:34):
That?
Speaker 1 (26:34):
NO i, don't.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
GUYS i feel LIKE i feel like listening to books
is much more accepted now than it was even ten years.
Ago it's kind of like when you meet somebody on,
tender like you typically wouldn't tell your folks, that but
now it's like very, accepted.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
You know that specific.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
THING i feel like it's almost a default to people
assume now that's where people. Met LIKE i was on
vacation last week and they were, like, oh, yeah we
were with MY i was with my wife, obviously and
they were, like, oh, so, like where'd you guys meet
on an? App AND i was, like, no we met
at a bar like normal human, Beings like what the,
Hell so.
Speaker 6 (27:09):
Well that is.
Speaker 5 (27:09):
Normal Ryan berschinger just married his last not tender but
wherever they.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Met that's WHAT i, Mean that's What i'm. Saying it's
like it's almost a default of. People now assume.
Speaker 6 (27:20):
One of those it might have Been.
Speaker 5 (27:21):
Hinge actually it might have been Hing, yeah so it,
is it is becoming the.
Speaker 6 (27:25):
Norm you're Not you're not.
Speaker 3 (27:27):
Wrong.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
Yeah one THING i wanted to say on THAT i
wonder what the normal action on the first pitch of
the third inning of a regular Season major league baseball game,
Is AND i wonder how much had to be bet
for it to be.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Flagged you know What i'm.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
Saying, yeah you know it's an easy, bet, right it's
one day that is, done you. Know but you're then,
wondering like why would all these people be betting on
The Luis ortiz first? Pitch so there'd have to be
some sort of. Irregularity But Jason stewart made the point
off the air to me that the pitch had to
(28:03):
be so bad because you have to make sure that
the batter doesn't even think about swinging right like usually
like it's like, okay first, pitch take you can put one.
Over is a. Fastball but you have to leave everything
like you can't leave anything the. Chance so there's one
pitch that was it was a, ball, definitely but the
second one didn't make it fifty feet, yeah, right like
(28:26):
one top ten feet away from the. Plate, yeah and
that's but he had that's and that's your first pitch
of the.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Game, Yeah but he didn't get caught because it was
a bad. Pitch he got caught because there was so
much irregularity on. It SO i just wonder if it's
like everyone's just been ten bucks on their. Phone oh,
yeah first pitch is a, ball and then somebody was
like eight thousand dollars on a ball and that was
how he got.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
Caught that's What i'm interested.
Speaker 6 (28:50):
By m m, oh That's.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
Bertie fred'll find that.
Speaker 6 (28:53):
Out i'll find that.
Speaker 5 (28:54):
Out Don't Run derby is scheduled For, Monday july, Fifteenth
and now we have a third.
Speaker 6 (28:58):
Participant It's National Star James.
Speaker 5 (29:00):
Wood Ronald Thecunya junior And Cal rawley were the other
two that have already been mentioned in THE. Nfl steelers
announced that they signed Gm Omar kontu a three year
contract that's going to keep him with the team through
at least the twenty twenty eight. Season in THE, Nba
mavericks Assistant Jared dudley is finalizing a deal to become
the top assistant coach for The Denver nuggets Under David.
Addelman and death taxes And Joey chestnut winning The Hotdog
(29:24):
eating contest are.
Speaker 6 (29:25):
The surest things going on in the.
Speaker 5 (29:26):
World and after missing last year because of that sponsorship,
dispute he is going to compete in the twenty twenty
five competition and he's an enormous favorite minus sixteen. Hundred
like this is the one thing you can count. On
he's going to win his Seventeenth Yellow. Belt back to you, guys.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
Can't wait till. Tomorrow it's one of those. Traditions, oh
it's so. MAGNIFICENT i get what you're, Saying aaron with
The Luis, ortis but it is like anything of it's
the irregularity that tips the investigators of the casinos, off
even like The Malik beasley. Play have you seen this
video clip Of Gary Payton junior? Circulating not, yet so
(30:07):
it's it's around so people are speculating that Maybe Gary
payton the second had some interest in a certain game
because of what the spread was and how he was
reacting on the bench to certain things in a game
that was about like a twelve point. Spread so this
(30:27):
is all OVER x a couple of days ago and
all over TikTok Of Gary payton being, like oh my,
gosh how did you? Know because of fouls at the,
end AND i just that will always tip you off
of the bets coming. In that's how they're gonna. Know
like you and me watching That Cardinals guardians game would
not have thought anything Of Louis. Ortiz we've just been, like,
(30:52):
boy that was. Weird maybe now we'd flippantly go geo
whenever he's got something on. It but but you're, right
like the amount of bets or what was coming in
for the number of wagers on that bet is what
tips people. Off but then when you see, it you're just,
like oh my, gosh so this this is the, Worst
like how do you not hide? It but it does
(31:13):
have to go in that way because, otherwise if we
just saw that first, pitch we wouldn't have the context
of the.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
Betting, Yeah i'm just.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
WONDERING i guess it, doesn't BUT i guess that it,
Does like does that, trigger just a warning in the
casual fan of, like, oh a Major league baseball pitcher
just bounced the first pitch of the. GAME i don't,
know just talking out loud, here LIKE, i here's my.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
Thing why do You why is everything?
Speaker 1 (31:39):
Betable LIKE, i you, Know i'll say this real.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
Quick.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
No Martin, weiss who hosts the show before me On,
saturdays made this, argument and as it pertains To Malik,
beasley he's, like maybe we're just offering too many things to.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Bet AND i know That.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
Mark it was actually On, SUNDAY i guess it, was
But Mark willard was, like, well, yeah well they're not
scaling back the things to, bet.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
SO i get it. IT i just like that is
something to mess. WITH a points spread is and that
takes some maneuvering to just throw a first pitch ball
takes nothing like, it and it doesn't it doesn't necessarily
affect your. Team it's so minute in the game THAT
(32:25):
i JUST i don't think that it's necessarily, worth you,
know having out there as a. Bet but, hey to
each their. OWN i don't. Know maybe too much is
too much of one thing is never. Good AND i
just think that a first pitch ball or. Strike our
Teammate Jared smith always tweets about no run first. Innings
that's what he bets. On but that's you have more, opportunities,
(32:48):
Right you have three, batters you possibly three outs each.
Side all of those make. Sense but to do it
on just one pitch that seems to be you, know too.
Minute it's, like you, know just on a make or
misshot in AN nba. Game, anyway for another, day at another.

aaron we almost did. It i'll tell you what that
means in just a. Second for over forty, Years tyrerak
has been helping customers find the right tires for, how
what and where they. Drive ship fast and free back
by Free road has a protection with convenient installation options
(33:34):
like mobile tire installation tirerac dot com the way tire
buying should. Be we almost did, it but we are
gonna fall short of our goal of not talking About
DeAndre eight into The lakers because for some, reason for some,
REASON i don't think it's captivated the minds Of. AMERICA
i think it's captivated the interest of sports shows that
(33:57):
have nothing else to talk about and feel like it
is a. Solution so their problem of let's Take DeAndre,
ayton let's put him in A lakers, uniform and now
talk about all of the, possibilities, which by the, Way
i'm fine talking about in. ESSENCE i just don't think
that we should be talking about it like this is
(34:18):
going to change the odds for AN nba. Championship, yeah it's.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
Funny listen The lakers to their. Credit, listen they move the,
needle they, do they. Matter more people care about The
lakers than any OTHER nba. Franchise, okay that doesn't mean
that we have to pretend that things that aren't true are.
True and it's just, like you, know even you go
(34:43):
back to last, Year luca gets. Traded it's this wild
moment that none of us had anticipated, whatever and then
it immediately defaults To, wow The lakers are they got
to be the favorites, now, Right and it's, like wait a,
second we got, uh we got a forty year old.
Superstar we have a second superstar coming off injury who's
(35:04):
clearly out of. Shape no rim, protection no. Defense they're
actually not a contender at. All, NOW i didn't think
they were gonna lose necessarily in five games in the
opening round of the, playoffs but it doesn't change the
fact that everything gets blown up because it's The. Lakers
and so some of the discourse On DeAndre Ay in
(35:25):
as if part of the reason he was available was
because he wasn't just because he wasn't disappointing as a
member of The Portland trailblazers is. Preposterous did they need?
Speaker 1 (35:36):
Size? Yes Is DeAndre? Inserviceable?
Speaker 2 (35:40):
Yes to your, point is he going to be the
difference between them getting out of either the first round
or wherever that you think that they should be and
where they were to end last, Season, no he is
not not at.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
All The Kevin durant conversation To houston is were of,
that AND i think that we've seen that In Las
vegas and the. Changes this isn't going to change anything
with The. Lakers the thing that's going to change with
The lakers is If Lebron james decides that he wants
to be traded and wants to leave before this, season
and that's the only thing that's going to. CHANGE i
(36:16):
don't think that's going to, happen BUT i just felt
like we're at this point because we're a couple of
days in free, agency and, LISTEN i get. It like
when the news broke, YESTERDAY i was at the news.
Desk it was my first. Story there weren't huge stories
yesterday outside Of Mike brown being named The knick's head,
coach but still is a story that we were waiting
(36:36):
on and waiting, on and then when it finally happened
where he cleared, waivers and then there's the report just
minutes after. THAT i understand all of, that and that is.
Fine that's reporting on what's. Happening and it happened to
be one of the bigger stories that we had leading
Into Clayton kershaw's Night Gold cup with THE us men's national,
team a whole bunch of other, stuff but for a
(36:57):
moment in, time it was a big. STORY i am
right there with you and how it affects The lakers
and how we will examine that move to THEIR nba title,
chances especially considering we don't know the status Of Lebron.
James and that's to your point of even With, lebron
they weren't a title, contender and so now you're taking
(37:18):
something that didn't necessarily work In. Portland they didn't want
them In phoenix. Anymore yet Now i'm seeing tweets of,
hey the first and third overall picks from the twenty
eighteen draft are now on the same, team and be,
like all, right that would have been cool in twenty,
eighteen that would have been. Unique then we're in twenty
twenty five now where we have a lot more information
about both, players AND i JUST i find it a bit.
(37:42):
Absurd but we talked about it by talking about the
absurdity and how everybody now wants to put The lakers
in a championship window contention because of this.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
MOVE i don't know if you saw the same reporter
put it out THAT i did about the first and third,
pick AND i won't call him out because he's a
good reporter, otherwise but like the first four comments were, like,
dude it's ear, Eight LIKE i don't think there's a
ton of Untapped DeAndre eight in. Potential that just all
it's gonna take is the magic fingers OF Jj. REDDICK
i think he kind of is who he is at
(38:12):
this point in year eight of HIS nba, career.
Speaker 3 (38:15):
Just like When lebron And carmelo ended up teaming up
with The lakers in twenty twenty, two and it was, Like,
hey the first and third overall picks from the two
thousand and three drafts are getting together and playing in THE.
Nba all, right before we let you. GO i have
one question to. Ask i'm A bucks. FAN i feel
That i'm too close to. This do you feel bad
(38:36):
for the position that The bucks are in right?
Speaker 2 (38:37):
Now i'll try to be brief because we don't have much.
TIME i feel bad because there were certain seasons WHICH
i believe they had a championship team that was derailed by,
injuries most notably twenty twenty. TWO i don't feel, terrible,
though because many of the decisions that have put them
into the position they are now are because they Let
(38:59):
giannis be COME gm at some point in the last
two or three.
Speaker 3 (39:01):
Years AND i think that's. FAIR i think if what
went out Of milwaukee happened In, boston In Golden state
or with The, lakers there would be zero ounce of
anybody feeling sorry for. THEM i think there's something That.
Giannis there's something In milwaukee and there's something about that. Pairing,
aaron have a happy fourth you're on tomorrow. Night i'm
With monsey. Tomorrow everybody be, safe drive. Safe we'll talk
(39:24):
