buying should be. I've said this before that I think
one of the biggest challenges in a man's life is
(00:45):
not just making it. Matter of fact, making it is
probably the second hardest challenge you'll have. It's staying atop there,
and there's a balance there. You want to stay motivated
and you also want to stay humble. I read this
story earlier today from Tim bonteps Tim bontempscuse me, who
(01:06):
wrote fresh off winning an NBA title and signing a
record contract extension. Over the weekend, Jason Tatum arrived in
sim City for his first Team USA training camp practice Monday,
with the fresh haircut and feeling that the weight was
lifted off his shoulders. Just being the topic of discussion
of so many debates or whatever it is.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Can he lead a team? Is he a top five player?
There's still a lot of things. I guess they can debate,
but what I've done they can't debate. I won a
championship having that under my belt, Like, obviously it's still
a conversation whether to be had or whatever people want
to say, but they've always got to refer to me
as an NBA champion. Yeah. Now, look, he is a champion,
(01:49):
unlike Dwight Howard who after losing in the playoffs said
I'm still a champion, when he didn't win a championship
until the COVID Championship with the Lakers, which still sort
of a championship. Right. But the interesting part about it is,
I'm not sure what debate he settled. He's right, we
(02:09):
do have to point out he's the NBA champion. That
does not settle any sort of debate. I mean, I
guess if you want to make the debate, hey, can
they Cohen's can Jalen Brown and Jason Tatum work together
win a championship. There's a portion of time where that
was a some sort of debate. I'm not sure this
debate does more a question that has been answered. That
(02:32):
has been answered, But there's also the let's we're settling
all debates. That's it. I settle debates. That's just feeling yourself,
and it's fascinating. I understand this is the way the
NBA works, where a guy gets done, and even though
he had a second straight disappointing finals, we reward him
(02:56):
with the biggest contract in the history of professional sports
because he's next guy up and he's a really good
play But it actually didn't settle any debates as to
whether or not he's a top five player. Did it, Like,
do we put him in the pantheon of Joel Embiid,
of of Nikola Jokic, of Luca Frankly, I don't don't
(03:18):
think so. And obviously Giannis getting hurt. But when you
get hurt or Embiid has gotten hurt, when your team
doesn't and you don't play well and your team still wins,
as opposed to you don't play well and your team loses,
I actually think it settles the debate as to who won.
(03:39):
Was it your team or was it you individually? I mean,
with this group right now, Jason Tatum is a fabulous player.
This is not in any way me telling you Jason
Tatum stinks. But if you had to choose in a
game today, would you even start him on USA Basketball?
Remember USA basketball doesn't have Giannis, doesn't have Jokic. I wouldn't.
(04:03):
I wouldn't. But Jason Tatum wants to believe that he's
settled all debates by being part of a tremendous championship
year where they have the best season, the best regular
season record, and of course won the postseason as well.
It's like you want to pull them aside and go Stason.
That's not exactly a debate that you're an NBA champion,
(04:26):
that's a fact. A debate is whether or not you're
a top five player, and that's still some sort of debate.
Most people are on the other side of it, right
And you can just see Jayson Tatum going, no, no, no,
I sell that debate. We won a championship, Like, no, no,
it's the hardest thing, you know, I did the NBA
(04:48):
draft for I started at ESPN doing it, so nine
years of the ESPN, and I did it for I
think five years elsewhere either with Fox Sports. I did
it with Stadium Sports as well. And I remember there'd
be so many of these players who, like Jason Tatum,
are just really fabulous people. When you meet him and
(05:11):
they come out in the NBA Draft and they're nineteen
twenty twenty one years old, and you want to grab him,
and sometimes we would grab him, pull them aside and
go like, hey man, just my hope for you is
you have this great career in that five six years
from now, when we meet up somewhere on a street,
you're the exact same guy then as you are now.
And I'm not saying he went Hollywood or went to
(05:33):
his head, but I think there's somewhere in between that
and staying humble, and he's very very close to the
it going to his head phase. Well, we've ended all
debates because you have to call me a champion. Yeah,
that's not actually how the debates ended. The question was
(05:55):
whether or not you could play well in the finals,
and you had a really one, really good game. The
question was whether or not you and Jalen Brown could
co exist that's fair. You can Jalen Brown did co exist.
Jalen Brown played better than you in the in the finals.
It's also fair to say, hey, you were top of
the skyingport. That's okay. That's a hard way to live.
They were focused on you. But you've played two NBA finals.
(06:18):
You have him an exceptional consistently in either of them.
So if there's a debate about where you are at
the top of the food chain, I'd say that debate
is still out there. Well, no one can debate if
you're not an NBA that you're an NBA champion. Jase,
Who am I missing something? Is there some sort of
debate that he settled that we don't know about.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
I mean, I think I could speculate it's I'm guessing
that there have been a few segments on first take
and undisputed. Can Jason Tatum win at all? Does he
have what it takes to win at all? How about
the debate of who's the best player right now to
not have a championship? I think he can and that
(07:00):
one he's can remove his name from that debate, But
he started a new debate, which player reads his press
clippings the most? Kevin Durant or Jason Tatum, and I
love the phrase press clippings because it's very dated. There's
no such thing as clippings of presses anymore.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Sam, do you even know what press clippings were? Oh?
Speaker 4 (07:26):
Come on, Doug, Yes, I have read newspapers in my life.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
I have cut When was the last time he read
a newspaper?
Speaker 4 (07:34):
Probably well, like the only place you can really find
a newspaper, I feel like is like at the airport,
and probably last time I flew, I bought a paper.
And yes, I'm actually over the course of my life
cut out clippings and our very own Andy Furman, who
does weekend shows here at FSR. He sends me press
clippings all the time. He does, yes, and I love
(07:55):
him for it because they're great. Isaac strikes me as
a guy that Isaac.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Isaac also has like boards, uh you know, of what's what? What?
Speaker 3 (08:07):
What?
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Isaac?
Speaker 3 (08:07):
That was a deep breath like I clearly now I
seek press clippings from Doug Crecordians.
Speaker 5 (08:14):
The Herald Examiner. Yeah, I clearly need to update my
branding and juice something my following on TikTok. If that's
what you guys are going to assume, but thank you anyway. No,
back in the day, Back in the day, I would
keep stacks of them underneath my bed when I was
growing up. It was an enormous fire hazard. But that
(08:35):
was your internet back then. If you wanted to look
up some sports statistics or something you were interesting interested
in from three weeks ago or else, you had to
wait a year for the old sports almanac to come out.
Oh yeah, y how how did we live back then?
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Doug?
Speaker 5 (08:49):
How did we live?
Speaker 2 (08:50):
I'm not sure.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Your mom must have put together a scrap book of
your press clippings, right, you must have that somewhere, Doug.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
I do? I do? I have one. I have one
that my mom put together, and then I have one
that I think her name was Amy Lavicky, who is
like a super fan. She was a young like teenager
when I was in college, and she put together an
unbelievable want to play in Oakland State, no question. Yeah,
I think there's nothing like some press clippings. I'm a
(09:18):
big fan of them.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Newspapers and magazines are still important for if you want
you have, like some notable moment in your team's history
and you want to frame that put it on your wall.
You still need something tangible. So I liked the full
color layout. You know, I have stuff from Iowa football
and other sports. Kaitlin Clark, It's still important.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
February nineteen ninety five by Chris Foster, Loaded with Options
Tustin point guard. Doug Gottlieb has plenty of choices when
he wants to make a play.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Wow. Pretty good. Chris Foster did a good job. There's
also there was a I was on the front page
of USA Today, like my third year at ESPN. I
mean no, it was more than that because the girls
were little. I think it was before we had my son,
or maybe so, I'm gonna guess that was two thousand
and there two thousand and six, playing the two thousand
and eight, two thousand and nine Variety. Yeah, there's a
(10:08):
there's a big front cover spread on USA Today.
Speaker 5 (10:11):
What's what's this from?
Speaker 2 (10:12):
You have a bunch of those ones if anybody wants one.
Speaker 5 (10:14):
What's this from? Two thousand and six The Oklahoma and
an article titled the Collected Wisdom of Doug Gottlieb.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Oh, that's a good one. What's that say? I forgot?
I forgot? That's Barry trammele mm hmmm. Uh. And he
calls and he just asks you a bunch of questions.
Speaker 5 (10:28):
So he so he So you got along with him
better than he got along with uh Russell Westbrook Huh nobody.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Got along him.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
And and look, Berry was a really talented writer. He
could tweak you a little bit, but in that particular case,
it was just a you know, in your own words
sort of thing. Anything jump out, shiloh.
Speaker 5 (10:47):
Oh at everything. Let's see, broadcasting is a perception based business.
You can have your best show and somebody doesn't get it,
or somebody missed it. There's no score at the end
of it in TV or radio. There's no scoreboard. That
breeds a lot of insecurity in our business.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Well, I think that's that's that is some wisdom that
rings true all these years later. Baby, that's some wisdom,
isn't it. I thought that was pretty good, kind of
proud of myself that aged, well, that did age. Well,
that's my What year was that? Two thousand and six?
Speaker 5 (11:19):
Two thousand and six.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
The next item is I think the ida I think
the iPhone will go the way of the Dodo birds.
So I guess you missed on that one.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
I said that.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
No, I'm kidding.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
I was like, what what?
Speaker 6 (11:34):
What?
Speaker 7 (11:34):
No?
Speaker 2 (11:35):
I said, but I did have ESP on the phone.
I thought that was awesome.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
What issues You're like? I said that, Yeah, that one?
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Is that one? That one? If that was in my autobiography,
I would have said I was misquoted my own autobiography.

Speaker 2 (12:03):
Doug Gotlief Show Fox Sports Radio coming to you from
the tyrack dot com studios. Welcome in, uh rash Marcosi
is gonna join us upcoming in a moment. Case of course,
rash funded started a company called The Sporting Tribune. He's
been a well traveled dude and really knows the sports landscape.
(12:26):
He's in Vegas. We'll get his thoughts on Cooper Flag,
his thoughts on this team's really interesting, right because you
try and match up guy for guy, and you know,
a good portion of it is that we have recency bias, right,
recency bias, and the recently bias is it's really hard
(12:47):
for us to watch Anthony Edwards play as well as
he played at times in the playoffs, they go man
Clyde the Glyde Drexler was better than because Clyde glad
wasn't didn't go with his left hand. I don't think
he was as good. But at that point in time,
during the ninety two Dream Team, there was at least
in the previous season, some talk whether or not Clyde
(13:10):
was actually better than Jordan for the year that was
actually a real thing. I think Embiid is better than
pat Ewing mostly from the standpoint of there was never
a moment in pat Ewing's career where anybody thought pat
Ewing was the best player in the NBA. Pat Ewing
was a very very good, great player on many levels,
(13:33):
very good. But there was again never a moment where
somebody said, you know, if not Michael Jordan, pat Ewing's
the second best player in the NBA. That didn't happen.
They did get MVPs to other people. Wasn't pat Ewing.
So I think if you look at center, Embiid is
more well rounded, more talented, shoots the better scores different areas,
(13:55):
probably a better rim protector. The one difference would be
obviously that at Ewing was healthier longer than Embiid's been healthy.
But that's not really the question. The question is what's
a more talent to what's a better roster, And the
answer is, I don't know. It's so different. The errors
are different, the competition is better. I think we're gonna
get pushed in this thing. I don't think it's just Canada.
(14:16):
I think plenty of those European teams will push us.
Of course we don't have our brackets pretty easy, you know,
brackets fairly easy sou Dan and Puerto Rico. And who's
the other team in it? Like, I think we're okay,
but it's it's really like he got Jordan Bird in
Magic Now. Magic Bird was at the end of the career.
(14:40):
Magic was he had he had retired because of HIV,
So there was there was a difference there, Where's Lebron
is older than Magic, older than Bird was. Body isn't
nearly as broken down as Birds was. Kevin Durant is
again not as broken down on his Bird, but similarly
(15:01):
like kind of end just getting towards end of the
line in his career. There's a parallel there. But Jordan was,
without any question the best player in the NBA, the
best player on earth at that time, and we don't
have that on this team. Maybe it's in b, maybe
it's not. So the overall town of USA basketball probably
(15:23):
is good or better than it's ever been. Is this
a better team? I don't know if I could say that.
I would still take the ninety two dream team. If
you look at the number of NBA championships between those
big three, the overall balance of the team, arguably or
maybe inarguably the two best pure past point guards in
(15:45):
the history of the NBA both on the team in
Magic and John Stockton, I would still do the ninety
two team. Jordan at his peak, at his peak, at
his apex. It's the Gottlieb Show here on Fox Sports Radio.
And let's check in Arajh Marcasi who he's covering Team
USA in Vegas for the Sporting Tribune. By the way,
(16:06):
that's a media company that he founded himself. And well,
you put yourself on the best detail, right, where do
you want to go? I think I want to go
to Vegas, especially in July and cover USA basketball. That
works a rash. You should do that, Thanks Aaraje. I'll
do that. Anyway, A rash joins us on Fox Sports Radio,
how are you?
Speaker 7 (16:21):
I am good. It's a little hot here one twenty,
you know, but still listen. We're keeping cool inside.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Yeah, dry heat, DREI heat. The buzz at least nationally
is Cooper Flag. Cooper Flag, Cooper Flag as a basketball guy.
Not my first foray into the world of Cooper Flag.
But for you, what's what's the takeaway in a seventeen
year old being able to compete with some of the
world's best.
Speaker 7 (16:45):
It was incredible, you know what I mean. We get
to watch the last twenty minutes or so of scrimmages
and to see him kind of hold his own against
the best players in the world. And again, you know,
just for him to get that experience, to go up
against Lebron James and Steph Currie and Kawhi and go
down the list of the guys who are on this
team and for him to hold his own and for
the guys once the scrimmage is over, basically he's saying,
(17:08):
all right, like I've heard of him, but seeing him
up close like this is pretty incredible for a kid
who's seventeen years old. So I mean again, heard about him,
did not see a ton of film or like anything
along those lines. But to see him up post some
person in the last two days has been really incredible.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Yeah, it is all right, let's talk about USA basketball.
Who's the guy who doesn't look as into it, doesn't
look as sharp, doesn't look maybe at the level of
the others, Well, you know, I mean hard.
Speaker 7 (17:40):
I don't want to say Kevin Durant, but Kevin's been hurt,
so they say day to day, but he has not scrimmaged.
You know. Kauai is Kawhi. And the amazing thing about
Kawhi is that he said two weeks ago he wasn't
sure if he would be playing, which really has caused
for concern when you talk about how he missed the
end of the the regular season, wasn't really available in
(18:02):
the postseason, and it really wasn't until according to him,
two weeks ago that he said, well, I'm gonna give
it a go. So he's looked okay, But again, I
think hopefully we'll get a better sense Wednesday tomorrow we
get his team Canada. But yeah, again, haven't seen Katie scrimmage.
And then Kawhi is Kawhi. Where it's just like, well,
(18:23):
at least he's healthy today, but we'll see how he looks.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Yeah, it's it's it's a you're obviously you're holding your breath,
especially considering how injured he is. I I gotta be
honest with you. Rash. Sunday, I was watching something and
reading something and then it popped up my phone with
Steph Curry talking about was this his first Olympics. I
was stunned by that. Everyone I've talked to is like, really,
he has many Olympics. Did you know that before this weekend.
Speaker 7 (18:51):
I was surprised, you know, when they had said he
had never done it. And then and then we actually
when he talked to the media a couple of days ago,
he kind of went through the process of whatever league
didn't get selected, didn't want to go, maybe would have
played in twenty twenty. But covid like, yeah, like you
go down the list of since he got into the league,
(19:12):
and it was like, okay, yeah, he wasn't on that team.
You know, uh certainly would have thought one of these
Olympics he would have been on. But you know, the
cool partnership that we've seen over the last two days
and yesterday was the first time playing together on team
to say, was Lebron and Steph and they both know
obviously this is like their last time to be on
(19:32):
Team USA, but they really enjoyed that. So yesterday's scrimmage
was the last time that they were on the court
together and I think Steve Kerr liked it and he said, well,
to expect to see more of that.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Yeah, that's that's pretty amazing stuph Steph Curry, Lebron, James
honest in court. We haven't seen Kevin Grant obviously as
he's had the had the had the CAF entry. What
who is the team their most canncerned about.
Speaker 7 (20:01):
Well, it's Canada, you know, really really looking forward to
that game tomorrow. It will be sold out at T Mobile.
You know, when you talk about the depth that Canada has, again,
a lot of countries have a uh, you know, a
top five, top ten talent, right, but you know Canada
has that depth and so they are you know, if
you go to the sports book, you know they are
(20:23):
favorite to be silver. They are the second best team
top to bottom in the Olympics. But you know, depending
on how they play. And again we've seen this the
FEVA and you know this better than anyone. FIVA is different,
you know, and so if they don't adjust it to
the style, if they're not on the same page, if
for whatever reason things don't go their way. I mean,
there is sort of this chance that Canada, perhaps with Shay,
(20:46):
could go on a run. But they are in my view,
the second is the best team year.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
What about France and and Wemby.
Speaker 7 (20:56):
So France is the team as I look long term,
as I look four year from now, when the Olympics
are here in the United States in Los Angeles, when
you look at what they've done in the drafts in
terms of having three players go in the top six,
top ten, what they've done as a country, what they've
done as a program, is incredible. So I expect them,
(21:16):
you know, my prediction is they will be third, they'll
be bronze. But when you look at the progress of
Wemby and you look at what that country has done
four years from now, deep it one down the line,
the way that they played the game, the way they
develop their young talent. France is a team also I
would look at.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
For sure Rash mccasey, who gave himself the very very
difficult assignment of going to Vegas during summer league, during
Olympic preparations time. That's that's a listen. You have a
good boss. Oh wait, it's yourself. We really appreciate you
joining us a.
Speaker 7 (21:51):
Rush to the best dog. Tuck you soon, all right, that's.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Our Rosch mccasey joining's Life from Vegas and the Doug
Gottlieb Show here on Fox Sports Radio. I now, look,
part of it is when you're a basketball guy, you
grew up going to Vegas in July, especially West Coast.
That's where the tournaments are, That's where the au is. Now,
that's where Summer League is in USA Basketball. But some
people just can't do it because of the heat. Jay Stu,
You're always a Vegas guy, But are you a Vegas
(22:14):
guy in the heat of summer?
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Oh no, the sun and me don't get along. I
hate it. But I've actually been there twice in the
last six weeks h and the last one was pretty brutal.
The temperatures are really high, so I'm very good at
staying inside.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Sam, where are you on ve Yeah, it's a hot one.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
I've not spent a lot of time in Vegas. Uh,
so I think I'm out. I don't. I don't really
want to be in that kind of environment, what kind
of environment, just like I like to be outside and
I don't want to be walking across scalding pavement and such.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Well, I mean most everything's air conditioned. The heat is
really I guess, I guess if you go to your car, yeah,
and then if you're out at the at the pool.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
Yeah, I just Vegas is not really my scene. I
don't like to be inside amongst amongst a bunch of
like just fake chandeliers or not fake, but you just glitzy.
It's just not my It's not my scene.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Not your scene. No, it's fair enough. I'm an ilo.
You are a big Vegas guy, aren't you.
Speaker 5 (23:23):
Depends on who's paying.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Baby, there you go, there you go, Vegas in the summer,
too hot or just right for you.
Speaker 5 (23:31):
If I'm paying, way too hot. If Fox Sports Radio
is paying, get the speedo and the sun tan out.
I'm headed to the pool. Just kidding about the speedo. Sorry,
he's so hot.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
Remember we went there a year ago, Doug and I.
It was what NBA con. Yeah, and we did so
good they didn't invite us back.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
But I thought that was amazing. By the way, it's
like one of the best interviews. Do you guys remember
the interview we did for All Ball.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
Of course not. We did some good content from there.
They they obviously just didn't want us back. That's fine,
that's fine, But I do I do want to bring
up the you know, as I was teaching your craps,
there was a gentleman that walked up to the table
with a collared shirt from cal State Fullerton, and you
were particularly interested in that because like, if you wear
(24:18):
like a collard business shirt with a university on it,
that typically means you're what like an assistant coach or
you're some kind of a staffer. Yeah, but he was
just a fan. Yeah, he's just a student or ex tod.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Yeah, that one was. It was a weird one. Not
gonna lie to you, it was a very weird one.
Why are you wearing that shirt? And the fact that
you and I were together and there was any sort
of Fullerton It's just one of those schools that if
you're from Orange County, you know it exists, but nobody
rocks the Fullerton gear. Whereas you know, like if you're
a big ten fan or you're a Big twelve or
whatever like it's that's honestly, the difference in the coasts
(24:53):
and where college sports really matters is if it's totally
okay to go out into pub lick and be wearing
your school's logo and not feel like the word's biggest dork.
Like it's just it's in the rotation. Oh, it doesn't
mean it has to be every day like every day
no matter where you are. It's like, unless you work
for the school, it's a bit of a psycho. But
if you're like, Hey, I'm gonna go and I'm gonna
(25:15):
go out drinks with them guys and I'm gonna throw
in my Wisconsin shirt like that, in California, people like,
is there a game on? Are you going to a game?
Why do you have that shirt on? Whereas if you're
in fond of Locke, they're like, oh, it's a good
Badger shirt you got on there.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
Sports is Iowa baseball jersey.

get to some press, the press Illo. What do you
(28:27):
got my friend?
Speaker 5 (28:28):
Oh kay, douglie. We'll start at Dak Prescott's youth football camp,
where he was asked today about what happened last week.
He was on vacation in Cabos, Son Lucas, he was
photographed wearing a walking boot on his right foot. Remember,
his right ankle is surgically repaired, and he discussed that
(28:51):
item at the youth football camp today.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
Here's what he had to say.
Speaker 8 (28:54):
Honestly, I'm getting order. It's the same ankle right that
I snapped and had a nasty surgeon on.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Four years ago.
Speaker 8 (28:59):
So a couple of hard days of training and you know,
you get a little sore and then you're going on
a fishing trip and you want to protect it and
and make sure that things don't get worse. So literally,
it's just absolutely not. That's why if people, when people
are reaching trying to make things that they aren't, I'm
getting older, have to take care of my body, have
to be smart and if I can take precautions and
lessening something about putting on a boot, I'm gonna do it.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
And so sorry that it calls sets the world.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Look, do I buy it some Yeah, I don't know
it it does. It does strike me as super weird,
super weird that you would need a walking boot just
for maintenance. But again I don't know enough about the
about the injury. Yeah, I always thought that walking boots
were when you're hurt.
Speaker 5 (29:45):
I mean, must must stink to have to wear one
on vacation. I mean, yeah, if your own vacation, you
just well.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
Also, that's the other part though, is that you sit
there and go like, man, how bad is getting old?
Stink right? Getting hurt when you're old, I think is
the worst thing ever.
Speaker 5 (30:00):
So true staying in the division, but going to the
other end of the experience spectrum. Now coming up tonight,
it's a new episode of Hard Knocks the off season
with the New York Giants, and it will feature a
behind the scenes clip from their interview at the Combine
(30:22):
with Jaden Daniels, who they didn't have a chance to
draft you, of course, was drafted number two by the
Washington Commanders. But here's an inside of what one of
these combine meetings sounds like and how the players are quizzed.
The voice you're gonna hear quizzing Jaden Daniels before his
responses as Giants head coach Brian Daball. This is from
(30:42):
Hard Knocks Off Season with the New York Giants. Little
air tonight, Hey, Jay, erase that Z making the F
race the X and making the Z race the W.
Speaker 4 (30:53):
Make them the X race the TA and make them
the h ready gun trolley Wright sixty four house.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Give it back to me.
Speaker 4 (31:01):
Nope, don't look at it till you want me to
give you back to me. How we call it the
whole play?
Speaker 3 (31:04):
Yeah, Charlie, right house.
Speaker 4 (31:06):
F n okay, accent, that's okay.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
And then if it's cover one, what do we want
you to do?
Speaker 4 (31:12):
Probably it's a dooto zone.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
All right.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
I like that answer.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
It's pretty good. Listen. Here, here's the here's the best
way to explain it. Why it's really good. Okay, it's
that when we talk about quarterback intelligence and we talk
about recall, and it's and we're not talking about whether
or not you're you're a functioning human being. There's just
(31:39):
a high level of recall and understanding and processing at
a rapid pace. And it's not for everybody. It's just not.
And if you can't process at that rate, then you
can't very like, very unlikely you can play high level
football in these days. That's the reality to it. So yeah,
I'm I'm excited why that tonight as well?
Speaker 5 (32:01):
Speaking of recall, that leads us into our next item.
It is a Doug Gottlieb update. We were talking about
plus press clippings earlier, and you referred to a USA
Today article about you in two thousand and eight. Correct, Well,
I'm going to read you some selections from that article,
and the first is about your recall. Godleib's recall is
(32:25):
so acute that host Scott Reese and bracketologist Joe Lunardi
refer to him as rain man. True.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
Yeah, I mean I don't have I don't have what's
it called photographic memory, but whatever the notches below that,
I have a very high level, high functioning memory.
Speaker 5 (32:46):
Here's another selection. Anybody ever had a bulldog? Gottlieb asks
while a mascot performs during a timeout. Most gaseous dog ever?
Speaker 3 (32:57):
Right?
Speaker 2 (32:58):
True, that's true, I mean that was true. Then that's true.
Speaker 5 (33:01):
Now, well once something.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
About the air into the snout and the storing, and
then it keeps the air and then comes out the backside.
It's like a wind tunnel sort of.
Speaker 5 (33:11):
I'll just take your word for it. So Wisconsin, Green Bay,
it's still the Phoenix. They're not the bulldogs anymore.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
They're not the Phoenix.
Speaker 5 (33:19):
Okay, Phoenix a great smelling mascot. And finally, the final
item from that article a quote from you. Sometimes I
badly strive not to come across as to know it all,
And yet I'm in a job in which you are
supposed to be a know it all? How do you
relate what is happening without coming off as a pain
in the bleep know it all?
Speaker 3 (33:39):
Unquote?
Speaker 2 (33:40):
Still true, still true, still true. And look and I
and I and I swing and miss on that one.
I think tone as far as for games game broadcast,
I had reached a really good tone and a self
deprecating line or two here or there. But like, look,
there are times in which, even at this job, we
know more than you do. But how do you you know?
(34:01):
Or you getting a conversation at a dinner party where
you clearly know more than the people you're with, But
how do you? And people ask questions they want to
know the answers. They think you know the answers to everything.
Sometimes you do. How can you be a know it
all without coming across like I know it all? That
that's actually a big challenge in many men's lives. They
don't think.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
That's spot on.
Speaker 5 (34:25):
That is a fascinating That line alone is a fascinating
potential topic.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
Right there.
Speaker 5 (34:33):
I will say.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
We've been that.
Speaker 4 (34:34):
Tomorrow, Yeah damn, I won't be here.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
Where are you going?
Speaker 4 (34:38):
I'm going back to Iowa for a week, are you?
Speaker 3 (34:41):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (34:42):
Is the flooding is it died down? Is it okay to.
Speaker 4 (34:44):
It's it's getting to the point where if it rains more,
it could be very problematic for people. But it's like
it's getting it starting to surge a little bit. It's
getting up there.
Speaker 5 (34:53):
What time is the welcome back Stam parade?
Speaker 4 (34:55):
And see to rapids as soon as I land four
thirty Central two.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
By the way, Dan Bayer just pulled into our parking
lot here in Green Bay?
Speaker 4 (35:04):
Are you serious?
Speaker 5 (35:05):
All right?
Speaker 2 (35:05):
Serious? If he would have hearried, I could have had
him on the radio.
Speaker 3 (35:09):
Is there any paparazzi?
Speaker 2 (35:12):
There is no paparazzi.
Speaker 5 (35:13):
There's no photographer from the Green Bay Presscazette.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
No, no, But it's interesting. I'm actually watching him hop
out of his car right now.
Speaker 3 (35:20):
Proparazzi. Wouldn't he be saying, hold on, hold on, wow, Sam,
you don't have that.
Speaker 4 (35:26):
Drop No, we don't have that yet. Oh, just to
wait till I get back.
Speaker 5 (35:30):
Tell them we say hello. Well along the lines of
college sports in your neck of the woods, you know,
it's fascinating because this is the time of year where
we're starting to have all the football media days for
college football season, and I've noticed in recent years, there's
a lot of trash talking at these media day events
involving the respective conference commissioners. Here was Big twelve Conference
(35:54):
Commissioner Brett your Mark speaking today at Big twelve Media Day,
held of course, in Las Vegas, where, among other things,
he called the Big twelve the deepest conference in America.
Speaker 7 (36:06):
We are truly a national conference in ten states, four
time zones, and all eyes are now on the Big Twelve.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
For all the right reasons.
Speaker 4 (36:16):
And I think it's safe to say we.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
Are more relevant now than ever before.
Speaker 3 (36:21):
Your Mark of.
Speaker 5 (36:24):
Appeared to be speaking while his leer Jed was on
final approach at Runway.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
Were that Chase Stadium? Were they they were in Dallas?
Weren't they?
Speaker 5 (36:32):
Maybe when he met the deepest team and they know
they're in Vegas, Vegas, deepest conference in America. Maybe they
were in a Maybe they were in a ditch somewhere
off the side of the road in Vegas.
Speaker 2 (36:42):
I mean, listen. I actually thought Bretton did a great
job in that he didn't say we're the best. He said, hey,
we're one of the top three, and we're more relevant
than ever. All that accurate. You know, Uh, he's done
an amazing job of Remember you go back two years
ago and the Big twelve was dead and the PAC
twelve was dancing on their graves. And now there is
(37:03):
no more PAC twelve. So Brett, your mark wins, back
twelve loses. That's the press bag.
Speaker 4 (37:09):
Get out there and pressed.
Speaker 3 (37:10):
That was the press. Hey, doug, Hey, we started the
show with the Cooper flag. Yeah, and uh, you know,
you gave your evaluation and whatnot. And I'm thinking, I
think next year is going to be like a tank
for a flag?
Speaker 2 (37:24):
Yes, And do you have an alliteration.
Speaker 3 (37:26):
I need we need to come up with, like I'm
gonna give you guys too, you guys, tell me if
you have any more Okay, okay, failing for flag, failing
for flag pretty good? Or go into the Cooper for Cooper?
Speaker 4 (37:40):
No, no, you had another one.
Speaker 2 (37:42):
I I have one.
Speaker 5 (37:43):
I'm going to capture the flag.
Speaker 2 (37:46):
How about waving the white flag only with two g's.
Speaker 3 (37:51):
Oh, lag for fla.
Speaker 4 (37:55):
Lag for flags, capture the flag? I think might be
the best in.
Speaker 5 (37:58):
The bag for flag and the.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
Back for flag, Come on, flag for flag. These are
all good. These are all good suggestions, excellent suggestions.
Speaker 4 (38:07):
What was the other one? The rhymed with Cooper anytime
you could take get it to?
Speaker 2 (38:14):
Is that what it was?
Speaker 4 (38:17):
I don't know if that one will make the press clippings.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
We might edit that way. We might edit that one
in in in post as well. Check out the podcast,
