Speaker 1 (00:30):
Unmatched selection, fast free shipping, free road aster protection for
ten thousand recommended dollars tyrat dot com. So the way
tire buying should be welcome in Celtics take game one
and uh and look dominant doing so right? I mean
if you sit there and say, hey, the Celtics go

(00:51):
and take game one and Jason Tatum didn't even play
particularly well, man, does that does set bode well for
the Sea And as I told you, my expectations were
for the Mavericks to win because game one is usually
a game you can come in and sneak in there,
get a win before the series gets going, and I

(01:11):
like the Mavericks in the series. Does that mean that
I'm selling all my Maverick stock?

Speaker 2 (01:15):
It does not.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
I try to have some balance about me, some poise
about me, and understanding of it, and the knowledge that
despite what I saw appeared to be a gigantic chasm
between the two teams, I also know that I've seen
that another series, and it's even out in the second
game or even in the third game, right, I mean, look,

(01:38):
look no further than the Nuggets series against the Timberwolves,
wearing games one, in game two, they weren't really competitive
at home, and then all of a sudden, the thing
goes seven. Of course, it did paint a picture for
us of what ended up happening in seven. But the
point is that it became a really hotly contested series.
So you know, you sit there and you're like, Okay, well,

(01:59):
maybe I mean this is a bad matchup, or maybe
it's just Christos Ferzingi's plays so well in the first
half without any sort of expectations.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
We don't know.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
I will tell you that, and anybody who's played basketball,
I think knows this that what happens. Okay, what happens
in basketball oftentimes if you haven't played. Now, this isn't
more when you haven't touched the ball, but when you
haven't played that first time back you do make all
your shots, and then the second time, second game, or

(02:30):
the second day, you can't make any shots. Now, granted
they don't play today, but the obvious points are Prezingis
changes everything, not just because he gives them a gave
the twenty points off the bench, but because he gives
them rim protection on defense. And then when you have
a big guy who can make threes, it takes away
Dallas's ability to protect the rim because their center has

(02:50):
to guard him all the way out twenty four to
twenty five feet away. He's not their best player, but
he can absolutely change the dynamic and approach of the
Dallas Mavericks simply by making shots and by sticking in
that game. Can we expect that type of performance from
him for the rest of the potentially six games.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
No.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
But the other part the Celtics could say is, hey,
Jason TATM didn't play well, they still end up winning
the game by double figures and you know, and doing
so going away pretty handily. But again, like how many times.
We have to see these series to know that game one,
while telling, doesn't actually always tell us the whole story.

Speaker 3 (03:34):
You know.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
There's been a lot of criticism of ESPN's halftime coverage
and how how many commercials there are, and how there's
a lack of analysis, But it's always fascinating to me
on how little people actually investigate and understand the difference
in cable and network TV. Don't get me wrong, they
should on some level stand up for their studio shows

(03:57):
and not have as many breaks, but the breaks are
cut up so much because that's how they make money.
It's different than cable. Right with TNTTNT has a longer
halftime show because they can. They're also making money on
their subs, whereas withes ABC. You're not making money in

(04:17):
your subs. You can make money on viewership, and you
can make money on selling selling ads, and the more
ads you sell, the more money you make. And the
only place to place ads are interspersed within your live programming.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
That's what they're doing. Then I saw that.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
Doris Burke, of course, who made history as the first
woman to call a championship men's professional sports. Then she
said she's done a lifeer. That one is a weird one. Wait,
you waited your whole career to finally get to the
NBA finals in the first comment that you have is yeah,
I don't want to do this forever, like really.

Speaker 2 (04:52):
Really?

Speaker 1 (04:55):
And then we'll have and we're going to cover this.
We'll cover some of in the podcast. We get the
Bellmont this week? How many people watch the Preakness? And
I know who didn't win the Preakness only because there's
no talk of a triple crown winner, so it obviously
wasn't whoever won the Kentucky Derby. And the Belmont is
not even in Belmont, New York. It's at Saratoga in upstate.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
Didn't know that, right?

Speaker 1 (05:19):
All these are new things speaking of it, speaking of
the Belmont throw over at racing as a new independent
regulator HAISA that is implementing comprehensive reforms, and the sport
is combining hands on care with cutting edge technology to
keep its athletes safetly or more. Visit Safety runs First
dot Com. That's safety runs First dot Com. You know
it's interesting that the story the breaking story yesterday and
we may have to break in with it today. We'll

(05:39):
find out what happens with Danny Hurley. But it's really
interesting how many people are like, wow, Danny Hurley and
college coaches is at work, and then you're watching the
Boston Celtics and you're like, hey, who runs the Celtics.
Oh right, that's Brad Stevens, and Brad Stevens will he
hasn't taken them to the NBA finals. They were in
conference finals and wild wildly respected as one of the

(06:00):
if not the elite coach in all the NBA during
his time. He kicks himself upstairs. Now he's the president
of basketball Operations. I don't know to me that that
one is a great sign if you're the Lakers that
maybe you're on the right path if you're copying the
Celtics in your own sort of unique way. Celtics brought

(06:22):
in Brad Stevens to be their head coach, then eventually
he kicked him upstairs. The Lakers are trying to bring
in Daniel Hully as coach, and what does that mean
long term? I can tell you that it has worked
as far as Brad's team is concerned, and it did.
I thought it worked well even when he was the
head coach. So we act like, this is a path

(06:43):
that people haven't traveled. It travel down and then you
watch the Celtics and you're like, wait a second. I mean,
Joe Missoula is the youngest coach in the in the NBA,
and I think he's doing a fantastic job. But if
you think that Joe Missoula knows more about coaching bat
basketball than Danny Hurley does, and it's not just because
Danny Hurley has won two national championships, but he's done

(07:06):
it multiple levels, high school, low major, mid major level
and all the way up to super high major and
now coaching at the highest level winning two straight NCAA championships.
It doesn't mean he'll immediately be successful, but you do
look around and you're like, hey, wait, the Celtics were
able to do this and that guy runs their whole operation,
and the Celtics have now I have no falloff in

(07:28):
terms of talent wise, it keeps getting better on a
yearly basis. Thanks for listening to The Doug gottleb Show podcast.

Speaker 1 (08:36):
Visit Safety Runs First dot com that Safety Runs First
dot Com. Soh Kyrie did not have a particularly good
night last night. Matter of fact, I mentioned that ad
O run was turnover misshot, bad Possession mostly by Kyrie
and Jaylen Brown. A couple others helped that Ado run
that kind of put the stamp on the game. Was
an eight point game became a sixteen point game.

Speaker 2 (08:56):
And that was that.

Speaker 1 (08:57):
And you know, he answered all the questions well, he
seemed to have some balance about them. I think the
big question I have, and I don't know if you
guys have ever been in a situation like this when
I look back at my basketball career, frankly, when I
look back at different runs I've had at different media companies,
is there is a way in which you need to
kind of fit in.

Speaker 2 (09:16):
You need to.

Speaker 1 (09:19):
Not change who you are, but use whatever parts your
personality fit with that school, that team, that place of work.
Not everything looks works everywhere. How do you do that
and still be yourself? How do you do that and still,
especially in basketball, maintain your edge. Not everybody plays well

(09:39):
this way, but many times guys that are motivated and
frustrated or even mad or angry or whatever, they use
all of that as fuel, along with a distinct hatred
or strong dislike strong dislike of strong just like of

(10:01):
kind of the I don't know, like a narrative against
them least walk with a chip on your shoulder, and
so that chip, you know, you got to be able
to get along with everybody. You gotta find kind of
a peaceful balance and existence. But you can't do it
so much so that you lose your edge. That's that's
the like the proper level. You want to play at

(10:22):
that edge, with an edge, but not be edgy. I
do just wonder with Kyrie. It's like he wanted so
much to make it like any other game. And I've
played in hostile environments and I've been here and I
know it and I understand it.

Speaker 2 (10:37):
So I'm just gonna play.

Speaker 1 (10:38):
But sometimes playing with that anger as as as energy,
ends up being the better play buyer. Does that make
sense at all? Like just the idea of like I
can only tell you for me, It's like I was,
I'm super emotional guy when I use that as fuel
for anything I do, but especially when I played basketball,

(11:01):
and I felt like as I matured, so many people
were like, hey, keep your motions in check, be balanced,
don't get too high, don't get too low. But yeah,
but some of those peaks are good for energy, and
you need it, and you have to know yourself and
what you're wired to. Some people can't play with that
stress and that anxiety. Some people they played better when
they have stress to anxiety.

Speaker 6 (11:21):
Kyrie was booed every time he touched the ball last night,
and I don't think that that would get to him.
I actually, and it's not just a Kyrie thing. That
the Mavericks just did not seem locked in. And I
know we thought maybe the Celtics would have some rust
with it, but man, that game one crowd, everybody picking Dallas.

(11:43):
The role that Dallas just went through. Even though they
beat the Timberwolves in five games, the last one was
the easy one. The other ones were grinds, and even
their series against Oklahoma City was difficult. It felt like
that all caught up with Dallas and maybe, who knows,
maybe they even just over you know, just didn't think

(12:04):
much of Boston because of the playoff run and thought
that they were the team to beat. But man, any
sort of any sort of energy that the Boston Celtics
fans were trying to throw negative energy at the Dallas Mavericks. Yeah,
they did not turn that into fuel if you will.

Speaker 1 (12:20):
No, they really didn't. They just kind of let it
happen to them. If that makes that makes any sense.

Speaker 6 (12:26):
Yeah, I mean, gush were Porzingis had one, Brown I
think had one or two, Tatum had one. Posterizing dunks.
There were just absolute celebrations, one after the other. Sam
Houser's pickpocketing Luca and then two minutes later like rains
of three from the corner and you're like, all right,
maybe at that point he's like, all right, it's not

(12:47):
our night.

Speaker 7 (12:47):
You know.

Speaker 6 (12:48):
Even though they made a little bit of a run
at the you know, started the second half, it's still
you're just kind of like, all right, let's put this
one away. But yeah, there was there was, there was nothing.
It's kind of like, you don't. It reminds me of
actually this this is the best example because Dallas I
think had like an early lead. You know, it was
like fifteen fourteen something like that. It's in college football

(13:08):
when you have that big road game and you go
on the road and if you can just if you
can just kind of navigate that first quarter, if you will,
and not let it get away from you, you should
be all right. Maybe there's a lot of energy and
you go out and you score and you think that
you've set the tone, but you still got to get
through that first quarter. That's what I felt like last night,

(13:31):
Like Dallas maybe had energy to do the first six
minutes of the first quarter, but then by the end
of it, it was, Yeah, it was all over. And
I think you see that in college football at times.
First possession, go down and score, this is our game,
and then you don't do anything after that.

Speaker 1 (13:46):
Yeah, I just felt like there was there wasn't a
there wasn't the proper level of energy. And you know,
look a little flat, look a little flat. And the
energy plays came from Boston and instead of taking the
air out of the building, they just inflaved the building.

Speaker 6 (14:03):
Yeah, on both ends by the way energy plays. Yeah, yeah,
it wasn't like just they were I mean because they
were making threes, but it's also you know, blocked by Porzingis'
That's the other thing I think too, is we've been
talking about Porzingis. Celtics have been waiting for Porzingis, so
anything that he did well probably had an effect of

(14:24):
two to three times of what it actually provided. And
then when he has eleven points in the first quarter
and you know, a couple of blocks and this and that,
like it just it was it just multiplied for how
good things were going to be for Boston, So I
think that could have played a role as well.

three and out podcaster. Of course he's a former NFL scout,
He'll he'll join us up upcoming in in mere, in

(15:39):
mere moments, in mere moments. But we are at this
dramatic kind of blood time, and when the NBA playoffs,
in the NBA Finals don't give us the same pop,
we're left kind of searching around. So we've talked about
the Danny Hurley stuff. Right, football is not a lot

(16:00):
lot outside of pending contract stuff. But this the baseball
story of the White Sox is. It's an impressive level
of futility, right, I mean, they are just atrocious, just atrocious.
And you know now they're on this losing streak where

(16:21):
they haven't won a game since the twenty first of May.
They haven't won a game since the twenty first of May,
and that was off of a four game losing streak.
And we're talking the Chicago White Sox, who I know,
they had the epic futility and didn't win a World
Series till they finally did.

Speaker 2 (16:44):
But gosh, are they bad.

Speaker 1 (16:46):
And I had no idea Andrew Binattendi had gotten to
this place where he couldn't hit. He's below the Mendoza line,
Mendoz line. I mean, I'm just and the fact that
Tommy Fam is on that team is perfect. Nobody likes
Tommy Fam and he's on a team they can't win.

(17:07):
I think that's that's apropos if I've ever heard, I've
ever heard of anything in my life being apropos.

Speaker 8 (17:12):
So I'm pretty sure. I think I've got their stats
up right now. They're batting leader, they're batting average leader
right now for the season. Gavin Sheets point two three two, Like,
that's he's hitting two thirty two, two thirty two.

Speaker 2 (17:29):
Yeah, that's their batting leader.

Speaker 8 (17:30):
That's their batting leader right now.

Speaker 2 (17:32):
Yeah, how is that possible?

Speaker 8 (17:34):
I don't know, it's yeah, it this. I know we
entered this season with a lot of people pegging that
the White Sox would be bad. I did not think
that we would, like, I don't know they had they
had competition too, because we knew that the A the Athletics,
and you know we've.

Speaker 2 (17:53):
Even in last place. Yeah and we but we've.

Speaker 8 (17:55):
Known that the Athletics are like financially starved and they're
clearly not set, like they keep sending guys who're batting
too well down to the miners. And yet somehow the
White Sox have eclipsed all of that in just being
just this dog water out there.

Speaker 2 (18:10):
I don't dog water is a nice way of putting it.
I've never heard somebody called they may dog water. I've
heard them called dog something else, though.

Speaker 8 (18:16):
Well that thing you can't say on radio. No, but
you have to make a compromise somewhere.

Speaker 2 (18:21):
I guess.

Speaker 1 (18:23):
I guess congrats to you on dogwater. How is a
team that bad?

Speaker 7 (18:29):
Like?

Speaker 2 (18:30):
How does that happen? I just how does that happen?

Speaker 1 (18:34):
How are you that bad? Because it just feels like
in baseball, like it ain't that hard to be average,
but they're just awful. The only thing it's like, it's
like if you ever heard the old ad is the
only thing worse than track is field. The only thing
worse than their hitting is they're pitching. I mean, it's
just dog water.

Speaker 2 (18:52):
I guess right.

Speaker 8 (18:54):
I'm glad I could add that to the lexicon.

Speaker 1 (18:56):
Yeah, well, let's welcome in job Middlecoff three Now podcast.
Have you seen how bad the White Sox are? Like,
you don't have to follow baseball they're so bad.

Speaker 7 (19:08):
Something that Yeah, something that Torklsen, the former star. He's
drafted like number one or two from Arizona State was
not having a good year.

Speaker 2 (19:17):
They're batting average, leaders, hitting two thirty two.

Speaker 7 (19:21):
They have a bunch of guys. I mean, if they
were an NBA team or an NFL team, I mean
they are rolling out multiple draft picks in the top
three or four. Because Andrew Vaughn went to Cal I
think he was hitting like fifty home runs in college.
Torkalsen the thing with baseball, I don't care how you know,
big a prospect you are, you have no clue.

Speaker 2 (19:43):
What they'll look like, you mean, when they get when
they get to the bigs.

Speaker 7 (19:47):
Or if they I mean, it's just so historically is
so random, right, how many great players that are second
round picks. I watched this thing on Dustin patroya who
grew up, you know, probably twenty minutes away from me.
You know, he's one of the great players of his generation.
He was he wasn't a first round pick. So you
just you never know because baseball size obviously matters, but

(20:09):
it's such it's such a skill game, and you know
some guys. I was going to these games, and I
was in the radio for a long time with the Giants,
and you know, a lot of their guys did not
necessarily look the part and they could just play.

Speaker 2 (20:23):
Yeah. I it's it's amazing how bad they've gotten. All right,
let's get to the let's get to the NFL.

Speaker 7 (20:29):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (20:29):
What do you think that Justin Jefferson's contract is the
highest bad contract to a nine quarterback and the highest
paid wide receiver contract by a good amount.

Speaker 2 (20:37):
What are your thoughts on what the Vikings have decided.

Speaker 7 (20:40):
Well, I think once they got down, you know, once
they landed the rookie quarterbacks, they kind of can foresee
the next four to five years. Right, that changes your landscape.
Once you have that guy, you don't know if he's
gonna be good, but you know you can build your
team without having to do what Atlanta is, right or

(21:02):
constantly like we got to find the guy in a draft,
Like you drafted the guy and now you can build
a round. And this team inherited that player, right. Justin
Jefferson was on the team when this coach and this
GM took over, and he can't argue he has been
one of the better non quarterbacks in the NFL since
he got in the NFL. I think one thing it
proved is for the elite non quarterbacks at premium positions,

(21:28):
wide receivers clearly, that offensive tackle, defensive line in general,
defensive tackle and pass rusher. It used to be corner,
but there just aren't a lot of Deion Sanders and
Derell Reeves's playing the position anymore. But if that guy existed,
whatever you think they're gonna get ad probably fifteen percent.
Like Micah Parsons, if you would have told me, I'd

(21:48):
probably get a deal that look a lot like Nick Bosa's.
Nick Bosa got one hundred and twenty five million dollars,
I would guess one forty. You know, I would have
guessed ninety five is for Jefferson one hundred macks. He
got hundred and ten guaranteed. So like to me, that's
where the average per year. I think it's over hyped
in the NFL. This isn't baseball or basketball. It's about

(22:09):
the guaranteed money. Injuries happen careers. We have no clue
how long career is gonna go. Like there's only been
the one Tom Brady. A lot of guys get to
twenty eight and all of a sudden they're not the same.
It's it's football, So that guaranteed number is now just
encroaching on basketball and baseball for non quarterbacks. Quarterbacks have

(22:31):
always made a lot, and obviously they're making a ton now.
But now these wide receivers once guards started making in
free agency seventeen eighteen million dollars. Like last year, I
supported Zach Martin the Cowboys aligned. But yeah, I know
I'm under contract, but I am dramatically better than all
these guys that I'm making thirteen million and these guys

(22:52):
are making nineteen million. Like this, there's a little lot
of whack. And that's once these you know, crazy inflation
starts happen with the SoC Not even inflation, it's just
the new market. It's where you get the craziness, right
because you see other players go, wait, I'm making this.
I've always said, like Trent Williams, Now he's older I him.

(23:14):
It's like, what am I worth? Right? Am I a
thirty five million dollars a year player? I played left tackle.
We all acknowledge on the best player at my position.
But you're kind of lucky he doesn't really come stink.
But that's one position. You know, all these great receivers,
a lot of great pass rushers. There hasn't been a
lot of like young Trent Williams and Jonathan Ogden's and

(23:34):
those type players or that number would get nuts.

Speaker 1 (23:39):
It's a it's a very very fair point, you know.
I'm sure you've seen to his weight loss right supposedly
down twenty five points, and it's interesting. Yeah, it's interesting, right,
Like Ryan Clark gets roasted last year for saying, yeah,
it looks like all I did was get tattoos and
that workout and out to me, like TWOA who was

(24:00):
very defensive about that last year essentially admits to it
by losing all that weight. What do you think this
means for Tua in regards to what your expectations are
for his season for his future.

Speaker 7 (24:13):
Are well, I guess my overall takeaway obviously, sometimes for
a young athlete, it's like, okay, I got to add
some strength, right, I got to get stronger, which is
very natural for anyone under twenty five played against guys
twenty eight to thirty five. I think when you struggle
like up and down, when you're not like Josh Allen

(24:34):
and Patrick Mahomes have kind of looked the same in
their entire time in the NFL, maybe they've gotten a
little bigger, But it feels like this guy's kind of
lost on the open sea. And he's a high character guy.
I got nothing against him personally. I just think he's
a pretty op rated player. And when we're talking about
the numbers we have to give like, Okay, you're getting smaller.

(24:54):
Well you're not a scramble guy. You're a pocket quarterback, right,
I mean, so you have less I don't know, girth
when these enormous human beings are landing on you like
you're not running away. So I don't quite understand the
logic there, because you would go last year's best season
he's had of his career, right, short career, but he

(25:15):
was statistically good. And the downfall of him and I'm
sure you saw that story of McDaniel putting every meeting
at twenty four. It's like, Mike, and I understand your coach. Now,
you've got to do some of this quirky stuff.

Speaker 2 (25:28):
Why do you have to do that quirky stuff?

Speaker 7 (25:31):
Well you don't have to, But I'm just saying, like
I understand, you know, a painting on the wall with
a statement like I'm not against it. I think that
has a time and a place if it's the right message,
but the twenty four things specifically, it's like, you've got
two years. You guys don't play well in the cold,
So putting the meeting at the twenty fourth minute of
every hour to let everyone know we have won a
playoff game in twenty four years. Your quarterback has a

(25:53):
weak art, you know, and your offense is very predicated
on the past. So you know, you guys, and you
play in Miami, Florida, but none of that's going to
change playing Buffalo, Baltimore, Kansas City in the or or
Cleveland or name any of these cold weather tough teams
in December. I mean, I don't know what, Like you
could argue like I'm gonna freeze the football in Ota.

(26:17):
I don't know, but like stuff like that. I just
think this Miami team, they're relevant because they got some
relevant players. But I'm not any more into them than
I have been in the last couple of years out
of my youth.

Speaker 2 (26:30):
No, I don't.

Speaker 1 (26:32):
I and I still think they're flawed at that most
important position. And yeah, I'm interested to what they do
because you get people like, well, you got to give
them the money.

Speaker 2 (26:42):
Why do you have to give them the money? I don't.
I don't understand what you have to do.

Speaker 7 (26:47):
And it's not like herd he's making whatever twenty three
this year. Why don't you just play it out? You
know he's not He was drafted fifth overall, his contract
was pretty big, Like Dak, I understand Jack was on
the open market. The raiders or someone would pay him,
Like who is Like what is Tua's number on the
open market? That's my question.

Speaker 1 (27:08):
I don't think it's nearly as high. Everybody's so scared
of the open market, Like, go ahead, let him play
the open market, you know, go for it.

Speaker 7 (27:17):
I'd be scared of the open market with Aaron Donald
or Nick Bosa. But the guys like this, I mean,
isn't that kind of what free agency is there for?

Speaker 1 (27:24):
Yes, yes, unequivocally yes, no doubt. Yes, it's Doug ot
Leap Show here on Fox Sports Radio. That's the voice
of John Mintlcoff. Okay, same question. Jordan Love supposedly working
on a long term deal. They have him under contract
at a relatively discounted rate because no one knew he'd
be this good. If you're the packers, brass, what do

(27:49):
you do? How do you approach your contracts.

Speaker 7 (27:51):
I think they get a lot of credit for and
it's a unique situation, right because this is their guy.
I mean, this is the reason Aaron Rodgers essentially on
the Jets they went, they invested in this. They'd have
to be the first to admit that the second half
of last year, I mean it had to be pretty
job dropping even for them. But remember they could have
just played out picked up a fix year option, but

(28:12):
they were like, I can't pick up the fifth year option.
We don't know anything about you, and they gave that
two year, eleven million dollar contract. I've said over and
over and I'm not going to change my deal on
this because his he showed those eight games upside that
two has never snipped. So to me, if I get
another five or six of those to start the season,
I have no problem doing an extension like the middle

(28:33):
of October. But there is you know, we've haven't seen
a lot of guys in sports history, and that there's
been a lot of dudes in the you know, month
of May hitting head home runs and then you're like,
oh my god, and you never heard from the guy again.
I'm not saying that's going to be Jordan Love, but
part of being a high high end guy and paying
a lot of money, like when the when the Lion

(28:54):
gave GOP one hundred and seventy million dollars. They have
a pretty long you know, uh bucket evidence going back
to the Rams and now within Detroit love this small.
It's really small, So I think I would just play
it out a couple of games. Did you see the
story about them going to Brazil and you cannot allowed

(29:15):
to wear green in the sands?

Speaker 1 (29:16):
Because yeah, now, supposedly that's been Supposedly that's been debunked,
and we'll talk about that in the podcast. It's been
debunked in that it's not necessarily about the gangs, but
it's the color of the rival soccer club.

Speaker 2 (29:29):
Is that right, Ryan? That that's what we did a
little research on that one. Yes, Yes, that.

Speaker 1 (29:35):
The problem with the NFL is these stories get aggregated
ten times over and what comes across is, oh, there's gangs,
so they can't wear green like yet there appears to
be a little bit more than that. Now, as far
as getting out of the hotel like, that's something. It's
one of those stories that they could limit their ability
to get out of the hotel which look, Mexico City
is that way too. They don't let you get out
of the hotel there either.

Speaker 7 (29:57):
That is I mean that that is a fantastic you know,
I don't think I don't remember Friday night opening weekend game.
That's I know it's in Brazil, which is a little weird,
but Eagles Packers is a pretty awesome opening weekend bowl
game at night.

Speaker 2 (30:13):
It's awesome.

Speaker 1 (30:13):
It's just weird that they're opening that game with in Brazil.

Speaker 7 (30:17):
I can't imagine either one of the team is like, no,
wants no part of it, you know, it's it sucks whoever,
I think the Eagles are giving up the home game
right it's I don't know how long the flight is,
but it can't be short.

Speaker 1 (30:29):
Can't be short. It's got to throw your body rhythm off.
And then oh yeah, by the way, what do you
really gain? Right, Like, if you play in China, you think, okay, well,
like this could be really beneficial for us business wise, Like,
is South America really that big of a boon in
terms of all of these individual players? That one it
just feels like a reach to me, It feels like

(30:50):
a reach.

Speaker 7 (30:51):
I think I think they clearly want a game south
of the border, and that Mexico City situation has been
a little iffy. Yeah, so they just found another area.
And obviously Brazil with soccer probably is equipped with some
of these stadiums. But Mexico City had some success, it
felt like earlier in the decade, and then it kind
of fell apart with the graft and just some other stuff.

(31:13):
But it just feels like Roger and that crew in
New York is dead set on getting a game on
a yearly basis south of the border.

Speaker 1 (31:20):
Well, it creates a different TV window, which I think
is some value to them. You know, it's I mean,
it's just all a question to make more money, which
is what.

Speaker 2 (31:27):
Their job is. So yeah, it's interesting.

Speaker 1 (31:30):
John mittalcoff three and outs of the podcast. By the way, John,
do you have any idea.

Speaker 7 (31:33):
Early I mean, is your fellow coaching brother and is
he a coach the Lakers or a lot of smoke there?

Speaker 1 (31:38):
I don't know. I mean, those guys have all gone
super quiet. I like Dan is a really good friend,
and Luke Murray is an awesome friend, and Kamani and
Tom Moore and some of those guys on those guys well,
but they've all gone they haven't gone green, right, it's
still blues. They're not completely shutting off their phones, but

(31:58):
there's I think this is Sway and Seema.

Speaker 2 (32:00):
Would you do it if you were him?

Speaker 7 (32:04):
I don't think so. I mean I don't think I would.
I just think the timing, the Lebron thing, the Bronny thing,
I don't think you need to do it. I don't know. Financially.
You know, this is a number that's so outrageous. He's
a Northeast guy to come to the Lakers, forty year
old Lebron brittle, Anthony Davis, you got to draft Browny

(32:24):
got Polinka and Jeanie and her whole crew, or of
the fixers or something like that, No doubt. I don't
love the cultural fit. And you know him. I mean
I've just watched the videos. It seems like he's kind
of like Pops and some of these old school coaches.
I mean, he just obviously he's a talented guy who
knows what he's doing. He just completely changes style because

(32:45):
Lebron doesn't even like to practice.

Speaker 1 (32:50):
I think he's he's better with the players than people think,
because he can be a crazy person with the reps
and the fans he's a crazy person.

Speaker 2 (32:57):
He's not.

Speaker 1 (32:59):
That part of it is interesting. I just like this
would be my experience, like how many times your life
the Lakers gonna call right and and the Lakers supposedly
this deal will be five or six years. The Lakers
only offer three year contracts usually. And I know I
saw Cowherd said, you know, wait on the Knicks, like
you could be waiting a long time of the Knicks.

(33:20):
Maybe it happens, maybe it doesn't. It's the Lakers. The
Sixers are a nice franchise, the Lakers and the Celtics,
and I think I would throw in the Knicks only
in that whoever figures it out for the Knicks is
going to get a ticker tape parade and basically be
a deity. But the Lakers.

Speaker 2 (33:39):
It's different than coaching the Sixers or even the place.

Speaker 7 (33:41):
If I wanted to argue against myself despite winning the
two national championships and obviously you could have a ton
of success there. I think moving forward, being at that
non you know, powerhouse football school when you're it can
be challenging. If you looked over the next ten years,
given where.

Speaker 2 (33:57):
He sit, correct, you could see you could see.

Speaker 7 (33:59):
Some cha looming given how he wants to compete at
the level against the Kentuckys and the North Carolinas, and.

Speaker 1 (34:05):
So I don't I don't think again, I don't look
at it. You make a good point. There's definitely not
being in a powerful football school and everything's getting condensed
like what does it actually look like? And there's some
parts to it which look better than those schools. But
the point is, I don't even look at it about Yukon,
like Yukon's there. It's fine, it's great, it's awesome program.

(34:26):
This is about do you want to coach the Lakers
or not? And as they call, doesn't come that often.

Speaker 2 (35:06):
Game.

Speaker 8 (35:11):
This is game time game on the Doug Gottlieb Show.

Speaker 6 (35:17):
All right, Doug, it's becoming a Friday staple.

Speaker 2 (35:19):
The game today is I got DIBs.

Speaker 6 (35:22):
Alright, there is one game in the books, but we're
still gonna choose our NBA Finals MVP. This is where
we throw out a topic and we just yell out
if we've got DIBs on someone or something that we
like more than the other topic. Number one NBA Finals MVP. Okay,

(35:44):
I got DIBs on Jalen Brown right now? Just one
game in yeah, one game, I'll take Jalen Brown.

Speaker 1 (35:50):
I got DIBs on Jason Tatum. Tatum played poorly last night,
but we do forget game ones. In game two when
his teams win.

Speaker 3 (35:59):
I got DIBs on Kris tops Porzingis is odd shot
up from thirty to one to five to one. According
to Jared Smith for the Finals MVP.

Speaker 1 (36:07):
I mean and in terms of value, I think he
brings a ton of value and it brings it. It would
bring an interesting discussion because I don't think anybody thinks
he's their best player, but he definitely changes in for
the better.

Speaker 2 (36:19):
Hey, can I get DIBs on more than one?

Speaker 8 (36:20):
I was gonna take DIBs on Luca Nonch just just
in case this. Yeah, it turns around for the Apps.

Speaker 2 (36:25):
I wanted to take Luca as well.

Speaker 6 (36:28):
I just didn't want to take him number one, and
nobody said anything, so I was like, well, I'm better
just take Celtic.

Speaker 2 (36:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (36:34):
Yeah, it's a free for all. Don't wait for anybody's
turn k Okay, all right, so we're doing so all right,
So we've got that taken care of. Now this is
on the heels of the Yankees Dodgers tonight. Great, great series.
What do you got DIBs on for the best series
that you'd watched between any two teams in Major League Baseball?

(36:56):
So you can pick two teams. You can watch him anywhere.
What do you got DIBs on?

Speaker 2 (37:05):
I will take a good Dodgers, all right. I was
at Dodgers statum by the way.

Speaker 8 (37:10):
At Dodger Stadium. Okay, all right, I'm gonna take DIBs on.
I want Pennsylvania series. I want Pirates Phillies. Specifically, we
can get skiing starting for at least one of these games.

Speaker 6 (37:18):
That's pretty good. That's not bad at all.

Speaker 2 (37:20):
I go.

Speaker 3 (37:21):
I'll take DIBs on let's go Phillies Dodgers. I think
two best teams in the NL. Phillies have been fantastic
this season.

Speaker 6 (37:27):
I'd like to go see a good old Cups Cardinals rivalry.

Speaker 2 (37:30):
Good.

Speaker 6 (37:30):
Yeah, they don't like each other too much. It's good,
even though they're not the greatest teams right now. But
good old, good old rivalry.

Speaker 2 (37:37):
All right.

Speaker 6 (37:38):
Best vegetable on the grill, best vegetable on the grill.
I got DIBs on broccoli. I love grilled broccoli. It
is magnificent.

Speaker 2 (37:50):
Best vegetables on the grill. It's got that.

Speaker 1 (37:53):
So I do kale, and I'll tell you how I
do it, though. I put down a cookie sheet and
a little bit of olive oil and then cook the
kale or proccerly on the grill.

Speaker 2 (38:04):
Pandest.

Speaker 8 (38:05):
I'm taking DIBs on red peppers. Nothing better than some
roasted bell peppers. Roasted red bell peppers.

Speaker 3 (38:11):
A great grilled onion. It takes some mind.

Speaker 6 (38:14):
All that's got. That's pretty good. And I don't like onions.
And that's game time.

Speaker 8 (38:20):
Game This is game time on The Dug Gottlieb.
