tip for quickits, somedms quick hits.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
I make it quick, y'all y'all?

Speaker 3 (03:55):
Yeah? Well, the Dodgers are fourteen and six on the
season off today they started a three game series versus
the Rangers tomorrow. Yoshi y Yamamoto on the mound and
Dave Roberts said today that Otani is still a couple
months away from pitching, So that's something that came out today.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
So maybe another start from Bobby Miller.

Speaker 3 (04:18):
Well, they've already sent him back to Triple Air. Oh
more on that the Farm Report, Tim Kaits Doctor Talk
seven o'clock. Kevin Phillips is coming off the iel tomorrow.
He'll likely be the other half of that move. The
Angels are creeping toward five hundred Texas right now, taking

(04:38):
on the Ranger.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
Well, listen, we were celebrating them for being in first place,
and now we can celebrate them for learning a little something,
for gaining an education, because they were really a group
of dumbasses for a while there.

Speaker 3 (04:54):
That's right, They had a dunce cap on.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
Yeah, it's just a bunch of eighty. But they've lost
enough now that they gonna even things out. You know,
it does feel like Ron Washington was a pretty good
higher for what they're doing. Absolutely, just saying it's a
learning curve for.

Speaker 4 (05:09):
Those young kids, and they are experiencing what it takes
to win.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
When we lose a ball game, we got education.

Speaker 4 (05:17):
And our education is what it may have taken to
win that game, and we do have quality in there
to do that. But you just gotta keep driving and
they're learning. They're getting better. It may not look like
it in the record, but they're getting better. We've played
so much better baseball than you was earlier.

Speaker 3 (05:37):
It's an education. The Lakers will lose, but we lose,
then we get education.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
When we lose a ball game, we got education.

Speaker 3 (05:45):
The Lakers will host the Tea Wolves in the first
round of the playoffs straight out long enough. Who's gonna
teach the lesson there, Matt. Game one is Saturday night
at the Crypto. The Lakers got the free seed in
the West.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
Interesting little bit of news there with bron Bronnie James,
as you often hear about.

Speaker 3 (06:02):
Here, is there another time.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
Who's gonna be the scout team quarterback? You're taking on
the Ravens who played the role of Lamar Jackson. Oh,
we took a wide receiver, ran him around back to
word leak that Bronnie James was playing the role of
Anthony Edwards during practices.

Speaker 3 (06:19):
Same player.

Speaker 2 (06:20):
Yeah, and then the Minnesota Timberwolves apparently decided to push
back on that. He said, yeah, we got Joe Ingles
playing the.

Speaker 3 (06:27):
Role of Luca. I can't wait to see how it
all plays out. The Clippers will take on the Denver
Nuggets in the first round Game one in Denver on
Saturday twelve thirty, tip off on AM eleven fifty, and
they got Clipper Darrell playing Jamal Murray an unbelievable. The

(06:52):
draft is seven days away, back seven days, so tonight,
Oh will be revealed ball.

Speaker 2 (06:57):
Titans on the clock number one over all pick all
but fate accomp lee that it is cam Ward Miami
quarterback cam Ward. Raiders have the number six overall pick
in the draft. They are tied the Ashton genty Chargers
twenty second, Rams twenty six. Not a lot of movement
expected this year because the lack of top tier talent

(07:19):
and a lot of teams looking to try to trade
back starting around pick fifteen. The Rams though a nice
little deal here. Instead of going to a house in
Malibu that will not contain any Rams front office officials
because they all got COVID, but the media will still
assemble there, they are going to or the Hollywood Hills
with Rebel Wilson exactly right. They're going to take it

(07:42):
to a forestation. Oh, I'm a lesbian They are converting
a room with the l Lesbian FD, the Los Angeles
Fire Department's air operations, and an adjacent hangar to uses
its draft headquarters. So nice for them to put that together.

Speaker 5 (08:00):
It'd be kind of cool if they put the pick
on a helicopter and like dropped it like they're dropping water.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
Like they do that lottery thing when they drop all
the golf balls.

Speaker 3 (08:09):
Yes, let the media fish through.

Speaker 2 (08:11):
It's even the pick is we're gonna put a bunch
of names on these golf balls. In whichever one we
pick up is the guy we're gonna take. That'd be
kind of cool. But if you had Kelly Stafford reading
the pick and like right before she gets to the name,
you just blow her down with a fire hose, was
like Tumbles down the street.

Speaker 3 (08:27):
I'd watch that a few times. Aaron Rodgers Matt.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
Yeah, we got into this and we talked about it.
Old Aaron Rodgers on the Pat mcabee show. We're all
so insensitive and he's so smart and didn't have some
respect and people are going through things.

Speaker 3 (08:44):
He's not going to space. He's taking up space, making space.

Speaker 2 (08:47):
For space, taking space and making space.

Speaker 3 (08:50):
That's what I'm doing.

Speaker 2 (08:51):
Space no, so I have no point of reference space,
I'm not How.

Speaker 5 (08:55):
About Aaron Rodgers getting mad though with the Jets for
making him fly across the country and then I'm telling
him the first twenty seconds we're not bringing you back.

Speaker 2 (09:02):
Well, well you couldn't do that on the phone. Yeah,
it's like, you know, we got into it. It's maybe
they flew you out there to see if you want
to be here and if you and the coach have
a connection, and when you sit down and you're a
complete a hole five minutes in, they're like, yeah, we're good.
We're actually good. We thought maybe this is going to
be a bit. No, we're good.

Speaker 3 (09:21):
Second you walked in, I knew the body language wasn't right.
Just leave, Just go on, get out of here. Clea
on Thursday announced the new college football rule change intended
to cut back on the number of players faking injuries.
Under the new guidelines, which we're going to affect this fall,
a player's team will be charged at time out if

(09:43):
the medical staff come onto the field to evaluate a
player after the ball has been spotted. If the players
team has no timeouts left, My BA, you're gonna get
a five yard penalty for the lay A game instead.

Speaker 1 (09:54):
Damn my bad.

Speaker 3 (09:57):
Now. There has been some pushback from Colorado fans former
players about the Travis Hunter and Shadur Sanders getting their
numbers retired after two seasons of Colorado double up retirement,
double years, two years. The real Buffs aren't happy. Matt
Chad brown Well, Buffalo's Hall of Fame linebacker, posted on
social media if the players from the National Champion Chip

(10:20):
team if not received such an honor by default, this
action dismisses, diminishes, and for a new generation of CU fans,
erases their greatness. I would never minimize the impact of
number two or number twelve. They are amazing players, but
this timing is poor. That's well put by Chad brown
Deon Sanders offered a way to soothe any hard feelings

(10:42):
over the recent announcement that Colorado's dynamic tandem Travis Hunter
and Schadour Jeff Frank coor Sanders skipping the line to
have their jersey numbers retired this weekend hogs and handshakes
for all. Can we start off with me just shaking
everyone hands that played here before? Just give him a hug.

(11:03):
The Colorado coach today said this they've got to come
back for that, right, let's start with that. That's what
I want to do.

Speaker 2 (11:11):
I think that you do that anyway. The former player
won a national championship. For see who comes down, you
probably give him a handshake, Welcome back, champ.

Speaker 3 (11:20):
You want to retire a guy that want a Heisman, fine,
but you gotta wait twenty years like you did of
Rashan Salam and all his weed. God rest his soul.
This is BS tired of the lies. We'll be back
with more petros and money on AM five seventy La Sparts.
We are your home of the Dodgers. Not he's gonna
get a number retired there, Doyers, No Doyers.

Speaker 2 (11:45):
That's your some money for four hours today going till seven.
Kate's gonna have off day, Dodger Talk seven to eight pm.
No play by play tonight, but tomorrow Dodgers Baseball early
five o'clock, first pitch out in Texas.

Speaker 3 (11:56):
So we'll go two to four. Joining us right now, Matt.
Always great to catch up with this man. Andy Staples,
longtime college football insider, very well respected, long time at
Sports Illustrated. Now he's in on three Sports, which has
been all over the nico Ia Malayava story since last

(12:17):
week and the drama in Knoxville and how it pertains
to UCLA and where Colin was right or where Colin
was wrong? On your Southern California Toyota Dealer Celebrity Hotline,
it is at Andy Underscore Staples on x Andy Staples,
a hero of college football riding Hello, Andy, how are

(12:38):
you welcome?

Speaker 6 (12:39):
What's up? Petros? Yeah? I think on three, now known
as the iamali Avo family's least favorite media outlets.

Speaker 3 (12:46):
Why they mad at you guys? I mean, you guys didn't.

Speaker 6 (12:49):
Do this or our our guy Pete Nakos broke the
story last Thursday and blew up their spots. Yeah, they're
trying to try to be any these negotiations in private
and all of the us sudden they were in public.

Speaker 3 (13:00):
Well, how the hell's that going to happen? If your
quarterback doesn't show up to spring ball? I mean, somebody's
going to start sniffing around like Pete Nichols. Uh so
what this is? Where this started to where it is now? How?
I mean we know it's a mess, but how big
of a mess is this? I mean, what kind of
toxic cleanup is going to have to be done here.

Speaker 6 (13:18):
Andy, Well, I mean, listen, as far as Nico the
human being is concerned, he needs to go to UCLA
and have a really good season. That's what has to
happen for him. You know, a lot of this stuff
is happening, I think a little bit outside his control.
And he's got people around him that are that are
kind of making moves and they're not great moves. Like

(13:41):
they demanded more money from Tennessee. Didn't get it, didn't
realize that if they waited till April, the market was
going to basically evaporate because schools change qbs in December,
they don't do it in April. They don't want to
bring in a new starting QB and haven't learned the
whole offense in one hundred days. So you know, I
don't think they realized that the market for him was

(14:03):
not going to be what they expected, and so now
they're scrambling.

Speaker 2 (14:08):
So Andy, in terms of where UCLA goes from here,
is this done? Is he going to Ucla? Is that
happening now or are we still kind of waiting for
him to continue to play this hand? And it might
be Ucla they're the favorite, Like, where does that all stand?

Speaker 6 (14:24):
All indications are that he's head of the UCLA. It's
an awkward situation right now because UCLA spring game is
tomorrow night. They've got to get him. Joey Agiar that
they brought in from Appalachian State who that was the
plan was, he's going to be the starting quarterback. You know,
they have a new offensive coordinator, Tinos Sinceerri, who is
the QB's coach at Indiana last year, and you know,

(14:44):
this was the guy he hand picked to bring in
and be the starting quarterback his first season. Remember this
is you know, some series first season as an offensive
coordinator as well. He's been a QB's coach, but he
wasn't the play caller at Indiana, So you know, he
found the QB liked and that's who he brought in.
Now it's sort of a it's a rapid shift and

(15:04):
nobody knows quite what's going to happen. I'm assuming if
the Nico thing becomes official, we'll probably see Joey agi
are looking elsewhere.

Speaker 3 (15:12):
Interesting stuff from Andy Staples, What about the report that
we heard from some people around the family that it's
not about the money it was about the offense, and
this Art Briles offense, no quarterback has ever succeeded. That
came out of Joel Klatt, who did say there's other
stuff involved as well, and Colin Cowhard Well, is that

(15:34):
just posturing from the Ea Malaiava family or is it
something truth in it?

Speaker 6 (15:40):
No, there's no truth in it. I mean, yes, it
is true that quarterbacks from this offense, from like Bryce
Petty on have not been great in the NFL. Now,
I would argue that if Argie Three's knee had held up,
you would have seen one, at least one quarterback from
this offense be successful the NFL. And we'll see, I mean,
we asue what happens with Jackson Dark because Lane Kiffin
runs at Ole Miss too. We'll see what happens Dyllan Gabriel.

(16:03):
He played in it at UCF and Oklahoma. So it's
not necessarily prohibitive. But no, you have not seen a
quarterback break through, like you know, Patrick Mahomes was the
first air raid quarterback to break through, and now you've
seen others do it. You have not seen that yet
with this offense. So it's a legitimate point. But that's
something they knew when they signed with Tennessee. They knew

(16:24):
what offense they ran. They ran when they signed, they
knew it offense Tennessee ran. After the first year when
he backed up Joe Melton, they knew what offense they
ran in December after he was the starter for a season.
So while with hip roll is the offensive problem when
you knew they were running that offense and then oh,
by the way, you wind up going to a place
where the next play that the play caller calls will

(16:47):
be his first, Well that doesn't make any sense.

Speaker 2 (16:50):
Yeah, what about is he that good Andy? That's kind
of one of the other things that came out of
this is that, you know, was it a good year?
Seems like a lot of the players around them are
valued when it comes draft time, But like, did he
have a good year? Did he have a great year?
Was it a disappointing year? Like what would you describe
last year as for him?

Speaker 6 (17:09):
He had a decent year. He wasn't fantastic, but he
also certainly didn't hurt them. You know, Tennessee went to
the playoff. They were ten and two in the regular season.
They had a really good defense. This was the best
defense Tennessee's had in a long time. They had a
very good running game. Dylan Sampson was fantastic at running back,
and this was one of the better offensive lines they
had in a while. Nico was pretty good. Could he

(17:31):
have been better? Yeah? I mean, of course, all the
mad Tennessee fans put together supercuts of him overthrowing receivers,
but there also were very good plays, and I would
argue he got better as the season went on. I
thought it didn't seem like he had a great connection
with his receivers early, and then as the season went
on it seemed to get better. Like I would say
the Vandy game, which is the last regular season game,

(17:52):
probably the most complete game he played. But they were
somewhat limited receiver last year. It wasn't like when they
had Said Tilman and Jalen.

Speaker 2 (18:01):
Hyatt with Himton Hooker.

Speaker 6 (18:02):
It was. It was a little bit different. And you
saw it in the Ohio State game where Nico would
drop back and there was nobody open. And I thought
in that game he actually did a good job gaining
yards on the ground, because I think his ability to
run is probably the more underrated aspect of his game.
He's six y six. He was kind of, you know,
really skinny in high school, but has put on weight

(18:22):
and is now a pretty decently big guy. So he's
on six six two twenty five and when he's moving,
he's tough to deal with. So I do think there's
there's a lot of room for improvement for him, and
that's why I haven't completely given up on the idea
of him being a very good quarterback. And I think
that's that's the thing. If he shines this season, then
he's still a guy that NFL teams are gonna come it.

(18:43):
But it's up to him to do that. Now. If
he has basically the same season he has he had
at Tennessee behind UCLA's offensive line, I don't know if
that's going to go that well.

Speaker 3 (18:55):
You know, it's interesting because I mean, covering college football
as long as you have and the different things we've
seen over the years, I mean, we are no stranger
to bad decisions, especially here in the era of the
transfer portal, and we see coaches make bad decisions and
make moves like this. One of the ones that really
stands out to me happened early in my job in

(19:17):
the media was the Maurice Claret big Mike Williams thing
where they decided, you know, they were going to challenge
the NFL and try to come out early, and it
hurt both of those guys. There's no doubt about it.
Is this that bad of a decision by Nico or
is it something like you said that he can kind
of pull himself out of.

Speaker 6 (19:35):
I don't think so, because it's not going to force
him to sit out. I think those guys having to
miss seasons playing, I think that's what really ultimately hurt
them the most. I think Nico getting to play, he's
going to have a chance to play his way into
whatever he wants to be. As far as an NFL quarterback,
that's going to be.

Speaker 3 (19:54):
Up to him.

Speaker 6 (19:55):
You know, if he plays well, he has all the
measurables at the NFL teams covet, so all he's got
to do is play well. It's just a matter of
how much of this is him. You know, we're going
to find out as we watched Tennessee and as we
watch presumably UCLA, was Tennessee's offense holding Nico back or

(20:15):
was Nico holding Tennessee's offense back. I mean that's the question.
We won't know the answer until we see him play.

Speaker 2 (20:21):
It seems like Andy, you knows you're describing him as
a quarterback, he gets better the measurables, the sort of
intrigue surrounding someone with those measurables that there would be
a market is Like you said, is it just bad
timing that it's April? Is is he going to get
just kind of hosed in that area? People talking about
the kind of pay cut that he's going to be
taken for leaving all that money on the table at Tennessee,

(20:42):
Like what to me? It just seems like a team
would find it, right, Like, we'll find the money because
this guy's that good, right, And.

Speaker 6 (20:49):
There are some quarterbacks I think if they hit the portal,
you'd see that. It's not many though, like DJ Lagway
that the freshman QB at Florida's he was a sophomore
next year. If he hit the portal right now, now,
teams would just throw suitcases full of money on them.
But there aren't many guys like that, And doing it
in April really killed the market because the SEC has

(21:10):
a rule that you have to declare your intention to
transfer by February first, if you want to play, if
you want to go from one SEC school to another
and play right away, and so that immediately took the
rest of the SEC out. And that's some deep pocketed
potential shooters that were out of there when they decided
not to hit the portal in December. So you got
that plus the thing of everybody either went out and

(21:34):
bought a quarterback in December, or they paid their current
guy more to stay in December and started planning around that,
and so they built their budgets around that, and they're
not in most of them are not in a position
to add a giant budget line of marquee quarterback who
wants the top of the market deal.

Speaker 3 (21:54):
The great Andy Staples, great wide perspective on how messed
up this thing really is is and how poorly managed
it seems to be. Thank you, Andy, have a great night,
and we really appreciate you joining us and giving us
some perspective on this. Thank you.

Speaker 2 (22:09):
One more segment to go before we pass it off
to Tim Kates and off day Dodger Talk will do

your dead guy. Birthday of the day to day Matt
Robert Dean Frisbee one hundred and twenty nine years old today,

(23:01):
born in Cleveland. This goes out to our Polynesian friends.
This guy was like Dick told me before Dick told me,
and without the football element when it comes to doing
things like hanging out in Samah and the Cook Islands.
Frisbee was born in Cleveland, like he said, Like I said,

(23:21):
served in World War One and was kind of a lunger,
but not a total lunger. But doctors told him after
discharge that his health was so bad. You are so sick,
you are so weak and terribly terribly built, that you
will not survive another American winter if you go home

(23:42):
to Cleveland, so Frisbee said, to hell with it. In
nineteen twenty he began to explore the South Pacific. His
major influence nineteenth century south Sea writers, most notably Robert
Lewis Stevenson Maybe Love in Tahiti, he met the guys

(24:07):
who wrote Mutiny on the Bounty, nord Hoff and Hall,
and they encouraged Frisbee to write about his adventures, and
that marked the starting point of his travel writing career.
The book still in print today is the Book of
Puka Puka, published in nineteen twenty nine, which is about

(24:29):
solitude in the Northern Cook Islands, escaping even the faintest
echo of the noisy clamor of the civilized world. I mean,
it can't help but think about those ladies in space.
I've got the mision proud in space, in spence solitude.
Think about that solitude.

Speaker 2 (24:50):
Naked men and women with pukah shell.

Speaker 3 (24:51):
No, no, I'm thinking about, you know, escaping the faintest
echo of the noisy clamor of the civilized world. Isn't
that what those six women making space in space? Isn't
that what they were doing?

Speaker 2 (25:03):
Matt, I'd rather not answer that.

Speaker 3 (25:06):
Have you been to space?

Speaker 2 (25:07):
Matt, y'all been to space?

Speaker 6 (25:09):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (25:10):
No, you know, no.

Speaker 3 (25:11):
You act like you don't want to talk about it here,
but you went on the Dan Hayses podcast that talked
about it. You're too good. You're good enough to talk
to Haeses, and they.

Speaker 2 (25:18):
Asked me, you came to meet they listen, you came
to meet Burkhart.

Speaker 3 (25:27):
Good enough to talk to Hazes about it, but you
don't want to talk to your listeners. Have you ever
been to space? He married a sixteen year old named I.

Speaker 2 (25:38):
Was castigated by Clyle for what you know, Alan Shepherd's
inaugural space mission was exactly that.

Speaker 3 (25:46):
Yeah, we followed the she said. I said, yeah, Clyle,
you hit it on the head. Gail King is just
