This way tire buying should be welcome in Hope. You're great,
absolutely great. We've done this thing where no one is
(00:46):
ever allowed to be honest anymore. That's what it is.
And to start this radio show, I'll admit something. Okay,
I have not gotten every every analysis of every player right.
(01:07):
Matter of fact, I've gotten some very wrong. Some I've
over sold and thought they were better than they were.
Some I've undersold, and especially in basketball, like look, I'll
admit it. I didn't think Lamar Jackson was going to
be a very good pro I've always been a guy
that thought Sam Donald has the makeup of somebody who
would be better. I'm wrong. I am hopeful that Sam
(01:33):
Donald gets his chance with a good football team this
year in a good system, one that he knows, coming
up from San Francisco with the Minnesota Vikings. But let's
be honest, he's become a journeyman. Lamar Jackson's been a
two time MVP, and all I had with my data
was my eyes and people I talked to, and you know,
(01:55):
the last couple of times I saw him play, Lamar
Jackson's last bowl game was against Misissippi State. He was awful, awful,
and we took the questions about his speed and his
lack of desire to play another position, and we made
it into we made it into a million things. It
was not what it was. Was like he was so
(02:17):
inaccurate at times that a lot of people are like,
are you are you sure you're going to play them
at quarterback? Because as incredible as he is with the football, like,
you got to be accurate be an NFL quarterback, and
you got to be able to throw outside the numbers
and push the ball downfield more than just out of
play action, but Lamar Jackson has improved steadily, was initially
(02:43):
put in a system where it brought out the best
in him. And conversely, Sam Donald was playing for a
terrible team, a terrible coach, lost his confidence and all
of his bad habits came out, and he's now on
his fourth team in the NFL. So I've not got
(03:05):
everyone right. This one, I've gotten right. Okay, Bronnie James
is struggling, and I'm not dancing on his grave. I'm
not laughing at him. I'm telling you I know what
it takes to make an NBA team, and I saw
all this coming. If you've listened to this show for
the last year and a half, you're sitting there nod
(03:27):
in your head, going you were right. But I'm not
like rubbing your nose and not taking a victory lap
in it. I'm telling you that what happens out of it,
and it still happened today, is that people make it
out that you're hating or even trolling when you give
an opinion that is not seen as positive towards lebron
James Junior Akka Bronnie James. Two things happen in succession. First,
(03:57):
there was some lip reading of Jalen Brown last night.
Jalen Brown went to the game last night with Angel
Reese and his girlfriend. His girlfriend is a former WNBA player.
I think she's played for like eight teams, and at
some point during the game, when Bronnie struggled, he shot
two airballs. He wasn't particularly good. Jalen Brown turned to
her and said, I don't think he's a pro, and
(04:21):
she said, yeah, I think he'll play in the G
League and he said, no, he'll be on the Lakers.
Because of his name. It was pretty obvious lipperating. I'm
not a lip reading specialist. I'm definitely not the lip
reader on Seinfeld, but it's not that hard to guess
(04:42):
that that was what he was lipping. So instead of
denying it, here's what Jalen Brown said when he quote
tweeted it earlier today. It's a flex to have your
son alongside you in the NBA, or a flex on
greatness and longevity. Bronnie has all the tools around him
to be successful. I look forward to watching his growth.
(05:02):
In other words, do you not realize that this doesn't happen?
Jalen Brown did not deny what we all read his
lips to saying, and even in his statement of he
has all the tools around him, he didn't say he
has all the tools. He says he has everybody helping
him in order for him to be a pro. A
(05:27):
couple of days ago, I was asked on Twitter if
Bronnie James would be my best player. I can't remember
what the actual question was, but it was essentially, would
Bronnie start for you? And my answer, well, my answer
so here's the question, Doug, is Bronnie good enough to
(05:48):
start for your team Wisconsin? Be honest? Answer the question, Doug,
could you work with them and get them NBA ready? Okay?
And my answer was he would compete to start. Well,
I like how he moves the ball and defence, he
wouldn't be my point. I don't see Buma's point guard.
He doesn't play point guard. He doesn't want the ball,
he doesn't run a team, he doesn't want to defend
(06:09):
the point guard. He didn't play like a point so
he wouldn't be my point. My wings are bigger, and
without seeing him with us, I think it would be
hard for him to start to be honest, here's what
Dan Patrick said about that tweet.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
I do like Doug Gottlieb was trolling people and somehow
got a chance to use Bronnie James into a story
about Doug's new job as the head coach of Wisconsin
Green Bay basketball team, where Doug says Bronnie probably wouldn't
start for my team at Wisconsin green Bay, to which
(06:46):
I'd say, Doug, that's kind of an indictment on your
coaching if he can't start for your team. Yes, he
would be able to start for your team in Wisconsin
green Bay. But Doug did what you're supposed to do
in this business. Is he trolled people. Probably got a
lot of clicks there.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
So again, like Dan takes actual analysis. Somebody asked me
a question, I answered the question about my team. That's
an indictment on my coaching. What are you talking about?
How about just you know, Actually, Dan, you can text
me and ask me my roster. Well, who do you
(07:27):
have started at the wings? I have a young man
named Anthony Roy will very likely start at a wing
for me. He was a Naial American. Now he's well traveled.
We're actually his fifth school. He's played Division one basketball
in New Mexico State at San Francisco. He's just older,
more experienced than Frankly. He's a better I have to
have somebody who can score. Anthony Roy can score the
(07:50):
other wing. I have a lot of other options, one
of which is Foster Wonders, who's an elite, elite shooter.
I think he shot one in the mid forties from
three last year and he's six foot five. So Dan,
none of this has I have done. Van Santorro, who's
only played a year, barely played at Providence last year.
(08:11):
He's six foot eight. If you actually read my tweet,
it's an accurate, accurate depiction of what I think of him.
He's not a point guard. My point guard would be
Jeremiah Johnson, very likely. Jeremiah Johnson is a top one
hundred and fifty recruit. He's actually older than Bronnie James.
He's twenty going to be twenty one years old. I
(08:32):
think he's a better pro prospect than Bronnie James. He's
about six foot two. He's a tremendous scorer. He played
for Ote this year. None of this is trolling, So look,
we got to get out of the hole. Well, if
you had negative comments about Bronnie, all I've ever said
is was a joke. He was a McDonald's All American last year.
(08:55):
It's equally laughable that he was drafted this year and
that people actually fell for the whole Rich Paul, Oh,
there's no, We're not gonna there's no, there's no package
deal with him and Lebron. Other teams. We told him
not to draft him. Nobody thought he was going to
be drafted or should be drafted that spot. And we
put a young man in a position to fail to fail.
(09:20):
And now what's very likely happened is you kill any
of his confidence. And now even if he ever develops
and becomes good enough to get real minutes in the NBA,
no one's gonna take it seriously. JJ Reddick said he'd
earned it because he'd worked hard. This is nothing more.
And I coached AAU basketball so Dan, I actually know
what the hell I'm talking about. Every parent you have,
(09:42):
myself included with my own kid, believes their kid is
a little bit better or a lot better than they
actually are. And I think what happened with Lebron is
one he thinks his kid's really good, and too he
sees how hard this kid works, not having the perspective
of hey, everybody works that hard, like you would believe
the volume of shots and work that my players do
(10:06):
last year. As you know, I consulted oklhom state that
those guys did. There's a young man named John Michael Wright.
Shout out to John Michael Wright. He shot twenty five
thousand threes last summer. They used the technology called shot tracker.
They documented he shot twenty five thousand threes last summer. Amazing.
(10:32):
And all Lebron's guilty of is being the overly ambitious
parent and using all of his weight to get his
kid to a level that's beyond his level of competency.
As we told you before, that's Peter principle. And when
Jalen Brown says it, he means it. Of course he
(10:53):
means it. When I say it, of course I mean it.
But instead this gets skewed into the eu AE or
now i'm what was I a'most trolling? Wasn't trolling. It
was asked a question. I gave an honest answer. That's
not trolling.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Go ahead, Jay, what did jj Reddit call it? Engagement farming?
I guess this is what Dan is accusing you of. Yes,
the thing that Dan just doesn't quite have is the
context here like that tweet. When I read it first,
it was unsurprising to me because I've heard you for
the last eighteen months give your evl of Brownie, So
(11:31):
to me, it wasn't a surprise at all. But I
think what the New York Post picked it up, awful
Announcing picks it up, and then it's in the blogosphere.
And just because it goes viral doesn't mean that the
source is looking for clicks. You're almost looking at it backwards,
I think. And I don't fault Dan because he kind
of probably just helicoptered in here. But just because your
(11:54):
tweet goes viral doesn't mean you're looking for engagement Like
that spons to that question on Twitter was very consistent
with what you've been saying about Brownie for the last
eighteen months.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
And oh yeah, by the way, there's a portion of
it where like I like the players that I recruited.
By the way, I would love to coach Bonnie James
at this level. I've told people, which now people are
coming around to, he should have gone to Doukine. Go
to Dukane play for a year two years, get supreme
self confidence in what you're doing, establish an identity for
(12:30):
who you are. I mean, if you really want to
get down to what happened, was the first game or
two he just went out there and played and people
were like, well, he's not attacking, he's not doing much,
Like that's actually how he plays. I've seen him play
one hundred times. That's how he plays. And then when
he had that really tough one where he was what
was he like? He was He shot the ball very poorly.
(12:52):
I want to say four for thirteen, but I could
be wrong with the stats. The point is that that
was a game and where and he had no assists.
That was a game where he was trying to do
something which kind of step out of body, which is
trying to be an offensive guy and take over games
like that ain't who he is. Now. Look, that's not
(13:13):
bad if you come to Green Bay and a coach
is behind you and doing it. If you go to Dukane,
which is a higher level than the A ten is
a higher level than our level.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
You go to.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Dukane and your coach gives you the green light like
eventually you can get there. But that's not what the
NBA is, and he's not good enough to do that
in the g League, and I think the process of
trying to get into that point is going to kill
his confidence. And if it doesn't kill his confidence, it's
gonna kill everybody around hm, because the're all gonna roll
their eyes because it's supposed to be professional basketball, and
(13:47):
professional basketball is supposed to be about winning games and
winning games, about being putting the best players out there.
But I thought that was I mean, we could do
a whole show on the Bronni thing on how so
many of these people just lined up to say all
(14:07):
these incredible things about him, either not having watched him play,
or not having the ability to properly analyze what they've seen,
or just scared to tell what they actually think because
somehow they think Bronnie's gonna get lebron is gonna you know,
wipe them off of any TV or radio broadcast.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
You know.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
And again maybe it's it's like the Trump thing, like, look,
he he just everybody who said anything bad about him,
He got them like ostracized, ostracized, ostracized, no matter how
true they were, you know. And now because you know,
Biden just appears too old to do the job, and
(14:54):
because some crazy person took a shot at him like
it's a rap and now he's gonna win and that
gets rewarded. So maybe that's Lebron's thing, is like, look,
it works for other people. You're really powerful, and somebody
says anything negative even when it's even when it's true,
you just use your power. Maybe that's the lesson that
(15:16):
I'm missing. I'm just sitting here telling you what I see,
what I think Jalen Brown did the same thing got
caught on camera, and oh yeah, by the way, good
for Jalen Brown. There was no denial of what he said. None.
That takes some chutzpah. And in this day and age,
(15:37):
we just don't have it unless you're on a hot
take show. And those shows, which one of them is
coming to an end, reflect poorly upon us because I
think Dan thinks that's what everybody does, and I don't.
I don't say things for effect. I don't care. I
naturally piss people off. It's a gift. But if you
(15:59):
got pissed over me telling you what my actual basketball
analysis of of Lebron James Junior or Bronnie James is,
that's on you, not on me. I stand by it.
I like how he guards I likes how he moves
the ball. I like how he gets along with teammates. Okay,
but it wouldn't be my starting point. He's definitely not
(16:19):
better than Anthony Roy for what I need. And if
I had a third, third spot for him, it'd be tough.
It's not a no, never, it's a it'd be tough.
Speaker 5 (16:29):
This is the best of the Don dot Leap Show
on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Pretty appropriate song here Doug Gottlieb Show on Fox Sports Radio.
Mm hmmmm, so good. The only issue Ryan with this
song is she did ode right? This is how she died,
Chase Duke, Can you confirm or deny?
Speaker 3 (16:58):
Oh? I confirm, yes?
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Yeah, I mean that is the only thing about it.
It's the perfect song for this. So I never heard
of Ingrid Andress. Had anyone ever heard of Ingrid and
I listened to country music. Apparently she's a GRAANDMA nominated artist.
She's Is she a country artist?
Speaker 3 (17:16):
I don't know. She kind of sounds more alternative to me.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
But I thought so too. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
I think she's just in the genre of drunk drunk artists.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Yeah, I get it again. My my question is there's
a bunch of things, but the big question. So she
announced it on social media. Oh just you know. Yeah,
here's her national anthem from last night.
Speaker 6 (17:39):
Oh say, can you see by the dawns? Like? What's
so proudly?
Speaker 3 (17:53):
We by the trial light?
Speaker 6 (17:58):
Lastly, who's broad shape?
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Sound?
Speaker 6 (18:04):
Bat through the pairs?
Speaker 4 (18:11):
Fine?
Speaker 6 (18:13):
Oh the rest, but we watch We're so gayly stream.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Rod gets read the bombs burst yay, bra do the
n Yeah we hait. The plans bad uh No, parts
of that are are particularly good. She started out, Okay,
kind of breath et. But I guess the thing is
(18:46):
it's one of those we all think when we get
up there and sing karaoke and we've been drinking, we
sound good. Yeah, that's that's what a Grammy Award winning
artist sounds like when she's been drinking and she gets
up there a cappella. Anyway, So she announced on social
media she's going to rehab thus the plane, and I
(19:09):
think sometimes maybe the statement is what has people wondering, like, Okay,
she taking this thing seriously. I'm not going to bs, y'all.
I was drunk last night. I'm checking myself in the
facility today to get the help I need. That was
not me last night. I apologize Dan will be all
the fans and this country I love so much for
that rendition. I'll let y'all know how rehab is. I
hear it's super fun. This is one of those like
(19:33):
you start joking people and they go like, yeah, you're like, yeah,
you can't say your mama jokes and my mom's got cancer?
Can we not make fun of her now because she's
going to rehab? Jase, do what you're ruling.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
I think you can totally make fun of it because
it was her choice to make that decision, and.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
I thought you're powerless over it when you're if you're
an alcoholic, you're powerless over those decisions.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
Well, I mean you're still going to serve the time
if you do U Y and kill somebody.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Under understand, Ryan, Ryan, what is your feeling on whether
or not we can make fun of her when she's
hammered but says she's going to rehab.
Speaker 7 (20:13):
I think you can still make fun of her. And
it reminds me of a great Norm MacDonald rest in
power joke. Yeah, you have a disease, but I think
you have the best one correct line.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Lie uh Manci, what's your what you're calling? Are you
allowed to make fun of how some how a drunk
acts when they're drunk and then they check in a rehab.
Speaker 8 (20:41):
I even with the fellas. I also, can we just
make fun of the incident, but not making fun of her,
because I mean that was like, we're.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Like when Hasselhoff was eating was it a cheeseburger? Off
the ground? Is that right? Do I remember this correctly?
Speaker 4 (20:58):
When?
Speaker 1 (20:58):
When when when the Hoff was just completely hammered and
he was like he was like eating the eating a cheeseburger?
I want to say, off like off the ground? Is
that my? I remember that, Jay, Dude, this is much.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
More vaguely, vaguely remember this. I vaguely remember that one.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Like people crushed Hasselhof for it, and he was a drunk,
So it's, uh, it's a different one.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
It was to me, it was the least offensive of
the two. In other words, Mancie, I'm going to ask
you to please clarify who this is. Marcello Hernandez uh huh.
He's famous. I don't know, and me look him up. Okay,
so he's the guy that did the introductions for the
home run derby last night. I actually thought he was
(21:43):
pretty good. Oh no, I thought he was pretty good.
This is where we take issue. So Marcello Hernandez, I
guess is also a SNL. Yeah, he is an achro
okay over the top, ridiculous shouting into the microphone. And
I think him having eight no names to introduce as
a problem because if if you're just a sports fan
(22:04):
and not a baseball fan, you tune into this and
it's like, why is this guy yelling at me? Who
are these people that he's talking about?
Speaker 4 (22:10):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (22:10):
It just seemed utterly ridiculous. And then you had the
national anthem and I'm like, man, can majorly Baseball get
one thing right? Ever? It just never seems to get
anything right. Last week was their draft, and the thing
that people most talked about from the draft on Twitter
was how bad they botched up the technology on the
(22:31):
introductions of the players, Like, why can't we get anything
right in baseball?
Speaker 8 (22:35):
I thought the intros were really great.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
Actually, I'm going to try to hold.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Yeah, I'm I'm with Jason. I was just over the top,
just too too much, wwe to like too much? Too much.
I don't know, It's it's a hard one. It's it's
a space that only two people occupy and they're both brothers, right,
(23:03):
and they do UFC and boxing together. But outside of that,
very few people can own those type of introductions. Let's
get you to Manci Belangos Stug Gottlieb show here on
Fox Sworts Radio. Let's welcome in. He's the absolute best
in the business. He's John Palmerrose. Of course, he's Fox
Sports Radio's MLB insider and he worked for the MLB network.
(23:28):
What can you say, like, I don't even I don't
even know who won the home run Derby last night.
I don't know anyone talking about the home run Derby
last night because they couldn't get past the intros in
the national Anthem JP.
Speaker 4 (23:39):
Yes, that certainly became quite a story the anthem, and
obviously some continued follow ups with that story here today
as well. But yes, the eventual winner of the home
run Derby was Taaskar Ernandez of the Dodgers, who had
actually two very close matches, the semi final against Alec
Bohm and then the final against the hometown favorite because
(24:02):
he's from the area, Bobby Witt Junior. So the new
format seemed to have a lot of fans. People like
the pace of it, the excitement created some late drama.
And who would have thought that when the season began
that the man of Monday Night, at least at the
All Star Game, was wearing a Dodger uniform. But he
was not Otani or Bets or Freeman, but tascar Adnandez,
(24:25):
who was one of the best findings I believe, Doug,
in terms of dollar for dollar last offseason.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Okay, let's let's dive into as we get ready for
the second half of the season. What do you think
is the biggest question mark in baseball heading into part two?
Speaker 4 (24:41):
What are the Dodgers going to do with their pitching staff.
It's amazing to say it, Doug, but there was not
a team that needed the All Star Break more than
the Los Angeles Dodgers. I just could not have fathomed
that when the season began that they would have all
these different arms on the IL. But there's basically an
(25:02):
entire rotation plus for the Dodgers all on the injured list.
You can begin with Glass now, Kershaw is still there,
Yamamoto is there. They've sent Bobby Miller to the minor
League's Walker Buehlers on the IL. Dust and Dusty Mayze
out for the season. It's an amazing amount of attrition
on that rotation. At the moment. They had to start
(25:22):
openers in basically three of the last four games, Doug,
before the All Star break. So they are now under pressure.
They did all that spending in the off season, and
yet they're scrambling. They are scrambling for pitching. They believe
the glass now and Kershaw will be able to start
games for them at some point in time this month, Doug.
But this is now in a lot of ways, if
(25:44):
you're selling pitching, if you're the White Sox, if you're
the Tigers, if you're possibly the Cincinnati Red the Toronto
Blue Jays, you have the ideal scenario. You have got
a team with a massive budget and a good farm
system with from tremendous pressure to add of the deadline,
and the Los Angeles Dodgers now faced exactly that pressure
(26:05):
ahead of July thirtieth, all right.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
And before we can get to that, of course, you've
got the All Star Game tonight. What's the level of
excitement seeing Paul Skeen's the guy who's the first number
one pick to go basically straight to the biggs, you know,
pitching college baseball, right, to the bigs now right to
starting the UL Star Game. What's the level of excitement
around the league to get a talent like this that
(26:28):
has been the talent has been translatable, you know, so
oftentimes college stars it takes them a while. What's the
level of excitement.
Speaker 4 (26:36):
Like I think that to your point, and in Monthy's
update coming in, I mean, I said to me, there's
such a curiosity about if we're going to see Aaron
Judge bat against him and have Juan Soto making I
think a really fun prediction that Judge is going to
bat in the first inning, which I love, by the way,
and just think about it. There are a lot of
(26:56):
starting pitchers, a lot of very quality starting pitchers in
the league right now, But for how many other pitchers, Doug,
would you and I be talking hours before first pitch
wondering who's going to come to the point in the
first inning with such curiosity and excitement. You're right, Paul
Skins was the number one pick in the draft basically
this week one year ago, and that to me is
(27:20):
emblematic of the way that developing baseball players has changed.
I think we're seeing in certain these schemes is an exception,
but we're seeing more and more players and pitchers especially
rushed because there's an awareness that, hey, given the amount
of injuries that we're seeing in Major League Baseball right now,
it is in our best interest and probably even the
(27:40):
player's best interest in a certain financial sense, to have
as many of his pitches as possible count in the
Major League. That's the goal here, get him up to
where his pitches have the best chance to help us
win a World Series. And at the moment, the Pittsburgh Pirates,
while there are distance away from being of that caliber
and chasing after a World Series title, certainly playing very well,
(28:03):
much much better baseball of late, and I for one
just cannot wait to tune into Night on Fox and
hear what Johnson Bulls has to say in the first
sitting about what he's using ball schemes. That is what,
as Tory Leavello said, the NL manager, why he shows
schemes to start this game. It is what the people
want to see.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
Yeah, and that's why in the All Star Game did
Rob Manfred talked about using robot umpires in spring training?
How close to reality is that?
Speaker 4 (28:32):
I think, Doug, We're getting closer. We are getting we're
getting closer. It's now And for clarification, what robot umpires
means to I think us as the baseball community is
you're still going to see an umpire behind the plate,
but the misses and the challenge system, which it seems
like a lot of people like to correct basically the
egregious miss the pitch that's called a ball and is
(28:57):
actually a strike or vice versa and totally wings the
leverage in and out bat totally changes everything in terms
of what's what's happening. That is the kind of situation
that will be reviewed via the challenges and the rest
of the game is going to be normal, but you
now have the ability just like we just got done
watching Wimbledon. It's that level of technology to where we
(29:18):
see the outcome, we see the ability to then discern, okay,
was it a ballrus strike? And the ruling Doug is instantaneous?
Is it is second? And I think in terms of
the pace of play and the overall concerned about the game,
I think it actually helps because the amount of time
that you used to see the umpire turn and look
(29:40):
at the dug out and he says, hey, where'd you
have that? That pitches up, that, pitches down that, then
that's out. That's all gone because you just tap your helmet,
review it and within five seconds you have the answer.
So I think it's it's going to be a much
better system for everybody involved.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Yankees lost a to the last twelve and Brian Cashman
took to the road with the team. What changes do
you see for them in the second half of the season.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
My goodness, it is I think a team that has
a lot of pressure. I think even more so, probably
than the Dodgers in the strange way because the Dodgers
are at the beginning of this Otani era as much
as the Dodgers steel pressure to win. Mookie Betts is
still part of their team next year. Freddy Freeman is
(30:24):
still part of their team next year. Show is still there,
Will Smith is still there. Yamamoto is still there. With
the Yankees. It's it's the big one two punch between
Judge and Soto and one of them. Soto is a
free agent when the season is over, and if the
last couple of weeks Doug have shown anything it is
that this team really is dependent upon those two players.
(30:47):
Ben Rice has coming and played a very good first base.
But the Baltimore Orioles right now have the better lineup
depth one through nine, and you could actually argue that
the Orioles, even though they're bullpen perfections, that even that
bullpen is probably better than what the Yankees have right now.
The Yanks have it all Start Closer and Clay Holmes,
but the bridge is not what you would expect it
(31:09):
to be. So it's it's always a fun deadline, Doug,
when teams like the Dodgers and the Yankees have a
lot of pressure on them to do something. And one
more team I'm watching carefully, the Seattle Mariners. Jerry Depoto,
Justin Holland are their front office. They almost always make
a move, and they only have a one game lead
(31:30):
on the Houston Astros, who have gotten up off the
canvas and made this into a prey compelling American League
West Racers begin the second half. So I can't wait, Doug.
It's gonna be a lot of fun tonight and then
a lot of fun ahead of the trade deadline on
July the thirtieth.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
I've got to see the Brewers play in person. I
don't know how they've done this thing with all their
pitching injuries. I know Knig's back close to coming back,
Hughes in Triple A, so is Joe Ross. But this
thing's kind of held together patchwork with all the injuries
they've had. Brewer's going to make any moves here late.
Speaker 4 (32:03):
I think they will, but it's probably going to be similar,
Doug to what we've already seen them do with the
Aaron Stavali deal, where I think they're going to look
to incrementally improve their team. Maybe they would make a
play for someone like Frankie Montossle the Cincinnati Reds, who's available.
I know it's in division, but the Reds to me
look like a selling team. Maybe a pitcher like a
(32:26):
yuse Ki Succi with the Toronto Blue Jays. I can
see that kind of a move. I don't think it's
going to be a massive salary or a massive long
term commitment. The Brewers really do a great job of
managing well their identity and what they've got. And to
your point, it's been the somewhat unheralded trio of Colin Ray,
(32:47):
Freddie Peralta, Tobias Myers who have really kept this group
going from a rotation perspective, and again I mentioned Aaron Savali.
He has come in, he has started a couple of
games and done quite well in his brief time in
a Milwaukee Brewers uniform. So I think they'll probably make
an upgrade there with their with their rotation, at least
a back end guy who either start a game or
go potentially into the bullpen. And I love their everyday
(33:09):
line up. I think Bryce Terrang has really emerged as
a nice player. Doug, He's already stolen thirty basism. He's
a tremendous athlete. I mean, he's he is the kind
of athlete that I believe that that would look good
run on the floor for the for the Green Bay Phoenix.
This is what I would say Dog in terms of
he's a good enough athlete that I think he could
play for the Phoenix in the Horizon League.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
You know, it's it's interesting you bring that up.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
I was.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
I was with their front office. It was in draft day.
I was down there when I threw out the first
pitch and they were talking about, like, look, everyone in
their position players at some point in their lives was
a shortstop and they're drafting athleticism over everything else. It's like, Hey,
if you're an athlete you can hit, we want you.
That's legit, that's and they feel like the rules of
the game have changed so that athleticism is paramount in
(33:58):
any position you play. And oh yeah, by the way,
it helps you in the base pass. That's part of
how they've changed their acquisition of personnel via the draft
or a free agency.
Speaker 4 (34:09):
That's a great point, Doug, and I think that's why
this week and again the baseball draft has for a
long time sort of been the realm of the die
hard fan or the longtime fantasy league owner and then
the keeper league or people that are really into the
prospect world. But Paul's schemes proves it. That was last
year and how impactful that can be. And I think
(34:31):
Bryce Terrange was a draft pick by the Brewers. The
smaller your payroll, the smaller your market, the more that
you have to hit on the draft, the more important
it is. And you're right in this new model of
baseball where the shift is out, you've got a better
pace to the game. Base running is more important. Being
able to really cover your position with athleticism is more important.
(34:54):
That's where Bryce Terrang becomes all the more crucial to
a team. I think overall the Milwaukee lineup ha a
lot of younger position players. William Contreras is twenty six
years of age. I still think of him as a
pretty young player. Joey Ortiz played tremendously well coming in
in that trade from Baltimore, Blake Perkins playing center for
They've got a twenty year old right fielder in Jackson Shurio.
(35:16):
It was interesting, Doug I was actually talking about a
cross sports comparison. I was at the NHL Draft in
Vegas last month, and one of the gms there ATIL Armstrong,
we had a great point. He said, Listen, when you're
negotiating with free agents, their agents and their salary demands
can block what you're trying to do. When you're negotiating
on a trade, the other team's desires can block what
you want to do. The draft is the one time
(35:38):
of the year whereas an organization, it's all right there
in front of you. You are totally the master of
your own destiny. And I love that thinking. I think
it really empowers teams to do the right things. And
that's where it's one day you're or in this case
with baseball, it's the three day draft. The three days
where you can say all of these players are what
(36:00):
we wants to represent for our organization, and certainly that's
probably something that coach and Gottlieb could say as well
about your the culture. But that's certainly what the Brews
are doing very very well as well.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
John Paul, you are the best. Enjoy the All Star
Game tonight. Look forward to seeing your work and hearing
your work. He's our Fox Sports Radio MLB insider. He

I got to see your team this season. I'm excited
about it.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
I was. I drove to Traverse City through the up yesterday.
How was it amazing?
Speaker 4 (36:33):
Isn't it beautiful? I was. I was born up there.
We could do the whole this is your life, but
I was. I was born in Marquette. That's my You're

behind the bench wherever you want. Okay, love it.

(37:56):
to hear how Tiger Woods responded to Colin Montcomery. It
was great, we'll get to that upcoming. But continued talks
and rumors of expansion in college football. Florida State still
upset at being kind of left out of the conference shuffle.
They don't like the deal they have with television, and
it appears that the SEC yesterday Greg sankei is like, eh,
(38:20):
we're good, and though the Big ten may expand, Florida
State does not fit what they want Clemson either. Part
of what Greg Sankee's not saying is a poorly kept
secret that in the SEC Kentucky, South Carolina, Georgia and
Florida have an alliance. I tell people all along that
(38:51):
Survivor is, by my estimation, the best show in terms
of helping you understand how business relationships work. Right. So
much of it is about alliances, and yes, people will
turn on you in those alliances, a lot of them will,
(39:11):
you know, just for self preservation. But that's all. This
is a case of right, would the SEC like to
have Florida State and Clemson? Yeah? Probably Louisville and Georgia Tech.
Sure that gives them twenty teams, all regionally based. You
already miss Missippi state, you have Auburn, Alabama. You already
(39:31):
have Texas and Oklahoma, though not in the same state
and natural rival rivals. Right, you know, Arkansas has their
own state. There's no other big time Division one, but
they'll net. Memphis will never get in because of Arkansas.
But the point is that those schools, and I believe
when they got Missouri right, Missouri was a part of
(39:54):
that alliance, and A and M for a long time
thought that was their deal too. Hey, nobody else from
Texas is getting in, but Texas is. It's just too
big to say no to. Once they could get them,
the SEC took them. But that does open up the
door for the Big twelve, and the Big twelve would
(40:15):
more than make it work. And the question is where
would the Big twelve stop? Right? Would they stop with
just those two? Would they add Louisville, which would make
sense with Cincinnati giving them an old Metro Conference USA.
I don't know if you guys remember they're actually in
the Great Midwest Conference together. Like, where would they stop?
But Clemson in South Carolina. They have value, maybe not
(40:38):
the value of a North Carolina because of North Carolina
their academic credentials are better. But the SEC saying hey,
we're good, and the Big twelve saying we're open for business.
That tells you all you need to know. Stut Gottlieb
Show here on Fox Sports Radio. Man, there's a lot
of stuff going on. I thought we had one of
(40:58):
the best back and forth we've ever had in our
show prep meeting Jason when we were talking about Brandon.
Iok do you remember what was discussed?
Speaker 3 (41:06):
I do, Man, I'll never forget it. To be honest,
I should have been recording. It was much better than
anything we've ever done on there.
Speaker 1 (41:14):
I would agree. Here's the basis of it, Manci Okay,
here's the basis of it. We're going through all the
different topics right that we want to get to. I mean,
you had the national anthem and then she comes out
and she's like, hey, I was drunk. I'm going to
rehab like that whole thing. It's one of those It's
like when you're telling your mama jokes and somebody says
your mama's got cancer, right, Like my mom has cancer,
(41:36):
Like whoa like, are we allowed to make fun of
this chick we've never heard of because she was drunk.
Now she says she's going to rehab. I don't know.
We have a lot. There's obviously more brownie stuff. There's
what were the other topics? There's the conference expansion is
there's a little Caitlin Clark there as well. There's a
(41:58):
good amount of topics. And I had started with when
I picked up the phone, I was talking to Jason,
was like, all right, we got Brandon Ayuk. We got
I started to get through, we got the DeVante Adams
sound from NFL films where he's like getting me out
of here in the talks. And after we got done
going through the topics, I believe you circled back and
you're like, where do you want to put Brandon Ayuk?
(42:20):
And I said, I think we're gonna have to leave
that to Manci. And you said, if that doesn't say
all it needs to be said for Brandon Ayuk, I
don't know what else there is. Correct.
Speaker 3 (42:30):
Yeah, I thought that was a great line.
Speaker 1 (42:32):
Yeah, it was a great line.
Speaker 3 (42:33):
Was a good one.
Speaker 8 (42:35):
I mean, yeah, that's pretty much.
Speaker 3 (42:36):
Yeah, I think it is a one liner. Yeah, so
it led your newscast, and our point in our production
meeting was there are so many other good things to
talk about today and Brandon Ayuk just doesn't rise to
the level of interest to even cover today.
Speaker 8 (42:53):
Yeah, especially when the reports are that they're not going
to trade him.
Speaker 3 (42:57):
He's just asking for one exactly right.
Speaker 1 (43:00):
Yeah, Okay, So I'll give you an example here, monseie.
What I'm talking about. This stuff is gold. This is gold.
So Colin Montgomery said that tiger Woods should call it
a career because he didn't seem to enjoy a single
shot at the US Open. Okay, So they get ready
(43:22):
for the Open Championship. Okay, they get ready for the
Open Championship, which is the used to be the British Open.
Has always been called the Open Championship, but only now
we've taken to calling at the Opening Championship. And this
was tiger Wood's response when asked when he would call
it a career.
Speaker 9 (43:36):
You know, there was comments, you know, last week from
Colin Montgomery who said, why is he here? He should retire.
Let's not point to this. Do you feel that's about
hopeful and you've done the right to you make the
decision when you decided, Well.
Speaker 10 (43:49):
As a past champion, I'm exempt to him sixty Colin's not.
He's not a pass champion, so he's not exempt, So
he doesn't get the opportunity to make that decision I do.
Speaker 9 (44:00):
I mean, you've you've disseelved that you saw when I get.
Speaker 10 (44:03):
To at his age, I like that decision?
Speaker 3 (44:06):
Why he doesn't?
Speaker 1 (44:08):
That's awesome. Do you know what that's called monsiere? You
know that's called what that's called being a badass. Yeah,
that's called let that's called letting you know, that's called
letting you nuts? Hanging a little bit right there, that's
called you know that is that's the don't you know
who I am?
Speaker 2 (44:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (44:24):
Don't you know who I am? Which I will point
out I get pulled over last night, So I did
you say that?
Speaker 8 (44:33):
Don't you know who I am?
Speaker 1 (44:35):
I've never said that, have ever ever said that? Because
I'm not Tiger effing Woods. So yesterday I drove twelve
hours twelve So my daughter Harper's in town and she
has a there's a gigantic writing show. Many people know
fall me. She's a superstar equestrian, and I had to
(44:59):
make the call. She she could fly and you gotta
fly to Chicago and then fly there. You can't fly
even though it's like an hour if you fly from
Green Bay to Traverse City. If you look at a map,
Traverse City is on virtually the tip of the state
of Michigan Lower Michigan as it's called. It's on the tip.
It's beautiful, and Green Bay is close to the it's
(45:22):
close to the northeastern tip of the state of Wisconsin.
So if you had a little puddle jumper, you can
jump over there in an hour. Otherwise you got to
drive around and it's six hours. If you go to
the upper Peninsula of Michigan, you go all the way
up above close to Canada, and then you come back
down through the mac Macinac Mackinaw Bridge, which is one
(45:45):
of the oldest, biggest, longest bridges in the country. And
she's freaked out about bridges because of the Baltimore Bridge collapse.
Or you go through Chicago, but that'd take it like
eight hours, and that's that's a no go. So I
thought up to myself, my daughter's eighteen, she's going to
college in the fall, and I'm like, how many times
in my life am I going to get six six
(46:07):
and a half hours in a car with my daughter,
and it was awesome. It was great. We stopped a
couple of times. We started a tractors supply, which she loves.
I have. I got a new puppy. I don't know.
I told you guys, I got a new pup. Puppy.
I got a puppy.
Speaker 8 (46:24):
That's how you start the show.
Speaker 2 (46:26):
Dog.
Speaker 1 (46:27):
I got a puppy.
Speaker 8 (46:28):
What kind of puppy?
Speaker 1 (46:29):
A sheepydoodle?
Speaker 8 (46:31):
I don't know what that is, like, I'm gonna look
it up.
Speaker 5 (46:32):
Say it again.
Speaker 1 (46:33):
Sheep dog, poodle, sheep a doodle. I already have a
sheep a doodle, but he's not he doesn't he's not
with me. He's alive, but he doesn't stay with me anymore. So, uh,
you know, so I wanted to get I need a
recruit a sheep a dooodle. So I got a sheep
a doodle that came in Sunday night. So we took
the dog with us. The dog was awesome, cute, and
we drove six anyway. So I was gonna stay the
(46:54):
night and get up in the morning and drive back
and do the show. Instead, I was like, ah, and fine,
I'll turn around all just we had a great dinner,
walked around Travers City a little bit. She's staying with
a friend, and now we're coming back. So fifty one
in a thirty five at one thirty in the morning. Now,
(47:18):
I will give the Michigan local Police officer credit. He
ticketed me at five miles an hour over. But the
point is when you pull somebody over at one thirty
in the morning, they either have to be going ninety
or be drunk right otherwise you're like, hey, man, slow
it down. So it's a route too, which goes right
along Lake Michigan, like all along Luke Lake, Michigan. You know,
(47:43):
it's a two lane highway most of the way, and
so I you know, so you come into these small
little towns right on the lake, and I get you
got to slow it down. But I wasn't like jam
and jammin. But I had my bluetooth going. I was
listening to a podcast. My puppy was asleep. It's like
one thirty in the morning. I'm drinking some coffee and
(48:03):
the guy's like, do you know what I pulled joke for?
I was like, probably speeding, yes, okay, And then he
starts getting into your driver's licenses California. These plates are
from Wisconsin. It's not your car. And I didn't do
the do you know who I am? Because I'm just
a radio host and basketball coach. But Tiger Woods he
(48:26):
was pushed to the point of and the best part
of do you know who I am? Was he didn't
say do you know who I am? He just said
do you know.
Speaker 8 (48:34):
Who I am?
Speaker 1 (48:36):
And the last guy I can remember doing that was
Kevin Durant when Pat Beverley and those guys talked ish
about him and then he gave him fifty and he's like,
you know who I am? I'm Kevin Durant. I loved it.
Can we hear it again? I just want to listen
to Tiger Woods once again. Take his junk out and
put it right there on the table.
Speaker 9 (48:55):
Do you know there was Coleman's you know last week
from callh Motgomery who said, why is he here? He
should drink tier. Let's a point to this. Do you
feel that's about Hopeful? And you've filmed the right to
you make the decision when you decided, Oh.
Speaker 10 (49:07):
Well, as a past champion, I'm exempt to him sixty
Colin's not He's not a past champion, so he's not exempt,
so he doesn't get the opportunity to make that decision
I do.
Speaker 9 (49:19):
I mean, you've you'veiled, you've disserlved it.
Speaker 10 (49:21):
You've saw when I get to baby out his age,
I make that decision. Why he doesn't.
Speaker 1 (49:26):
How great is that It wasn't just he said, you
know who I am? You know him past champion. You
know Colin Montgomery who's somehow in the Hall of Fame
only never won crap on the PGA Tour and didn't
win the Open Championship, which as a as somebody from
Europe he should win. And they know, yeah, by the way,
he's old. That's the other part that he said, that's
as good as sound as you're ever going to get.
(49:49):
That's as good a don't you know who I am?
Without saying don't you know who I am? That was
big time. Well done Tiger Woods. And it's interesting we're
talking about Dan Patrick. Know Dan had an interview with
Tiger once that was fantastic and they were playing golf
together or no, he said they were. He was doing
(50:09):
an interview about playing golf with him, and he's like,
how much Dan asked Colin excuse me. Dan asked Tiger
how much would we play for, and Tiger's response was
whatever amount makes you nervous. I thought that was a
perfect response to man. Tiger's good on his feet, really
good on his.
Speaker 3 (50:28):
Feet, And that got the assumption there is that no
amount makes me nervous.
Speaker 1 (50:33):
Correct, well, big bank, take a little bank.

This way tire buying should be welcome in Hope. You're great,
absolutely great. We've done this thing where no one is
(00:46):
ever allowed to be honest anymore. That's what it is.
And to start this radio show, I'll admit something. Okay,
I have not gotten every every analysis of every player right.
(01:07):
Matter of fact, I've gotten some very wrong. Some I've
over sold and thought they were better than they were.
Some I've undersold, and especially in basketball, like look, I'll
admit it. I didn't think Lamar Jackson was going to
be a very good pro I've always been a guy
that thought Sam Donald has the makeup of somebody who
would be better. I'm wrong. I am hopeful that Sam
(01:33):
Donald gets his chance with a good football team this
year in a good system, one that he knows, coming
up from San Francisco with the Minnesota Vikings. But let's
be honest, he's become a journeyman. Lamar Jackson's been a
two time MVP, and all I had with my data
was my eyes and people I talked to, and you know,
(01:55):
the last couple of times I saw him play, Lamar
Jackson's last bowl game was against Misissippi State. He was awful, awful,
and we took the questions about his speed and his
lack of desire to play another position, and we made
it into we made it into a million things. It
was not what it was. Was like he was so
(02:17):
inaccurate at times that a lot of people are like,
are you are you sure you're going to play them
at quarterback? Because as incredible as he is with the football, like,
you got to be accurate be an NFL quarterback, and
you got to be able to throw outside the numbers
and push the ball downfield more than just out of
play action, but Lamar Jackson has improved steadily, was initially
(02:43):
put in a system where it brought out the best
in him. And conversely, Sam Donald was playing for a
terrible team, a terrible coach, lost his confidence and all
of his bad habits came out, and he's now on
his fourth team in the NFL. So I've not got
(03:05):
everyone right. This one, I've gotten right. Okay, Bronnie James
is struggling, and I'm not dancing on his grave. I'm
not laughing at him. I'm telling you I know what
it takes to make an NBA team, and I saw
all this coming. If you've listened to this show for
the last year and a half, you're sitting there nod
(03:27):
in your head, going you were right. But I'm not
like rubbing your nose and not taking a victory lap
in it. I'm telling you that what happens out of it,
and it still happened today, is that people make it
out that you're hating or even trolling when you give
an opinion that is not seen as positive towards lebron
James Junior Akka Bronnie James. Two things happen in succession. First,
(03:57):
there was some lip reading of Jalen Brown last night.
Jalen Brown went to the game last night with Angel
Reese and his girlfriend. His girlfriend is a former WNBA player.
I think she's played for like eight teams, and at
some point during the game, when Bronnie struggled, he shot
two airballs. He wasn't particularly good. Jalen Brown turned to
her and said, I don't think he's a pro, and
(04:21):
she said, yeah, I think he'll play in the G
League and he said, no, he'll be on the Lakers.
Because of his name. It was pretty obvious lipperating. I'm
not a lip reading specialist. I'm definitely not the lip
reader on Seinfeld, but it's not that hard to guess
(04:42):
that that was what he was lipping. So instead of
denying it, here's what Jalen Brown said when he quote
tweeted it earlier today. It's a flex to have your
son alongside you in the NBA, or a flex on
greatness and longevity. Bronnie has all the tools around him
to be successful. I look forward to watching his growth.
(05:02):
In other words, do you not realize that this doesn't happen?
Jalen Brown did not deny what we all read his
lips to saying, and even in his statement of he
has all the tools around him, he didn't say he
has all the tools. He says he has everybody helping
him in order for him to be a pro. A
(05:27):
couple of days ago, I was asked on Twitter if
Bronnie James would be my best player. I can't remember
what the actual question was, but it was essentially, would
Bronnie start for you? And my answer, well, my answer
so here's the question, Doug, is Bronnie good enough to
(05:48):
start for your team Wisconsin? Be honest? Answer the question, Doug,
could you work with them and get them NBA ready? Okay?
And my answer was he would compete to start. Well,
I like how he moves the ball and defence, he
wouldn't be my point. I don't see Buma's point guard.
He doesn't play point guard. He doesn't want the ball,
he doesn't run a team, he doesn't want to defend
(06:09):
the point guard. He didn't play like a point so
he wouldn't be my point. My wings are bigger, and
without seeing him with us, I think it would be
hard for him to start to be honest, here's what
Dan Patrick said about that tweet.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
I do like Doug Gottlieb was trolling people and somehow
got a chance to use Bronnie James into a story
about Doug's new job as the head coach of Wisconsin
Green Bay basketball team, where Doug says Bronnie probably wouldn't
start for my team at Wisconsin green Bay, to which
(06:46):
I'd say, Doug, that's kind of an indictment on your
coaching if he can't start for your team. Yes, he
would be able to start for your team in Wisconsin
green Bay. But Doug did what you're supposed to do
in this business. Is he trolled people. Probably got a
lot of clicks there.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
So again, like Dan takes actual analysis. Somebody asked me
a question, I answered the question about my team. That's
an indictment on my coaching. What are you talking about?
How about just you know, Actually, Dan, you can text
me and ask me my roster. Well, who do you
(07:27):
have started at the wings? I have a young man
named Anthony Roy will very likely start at a wing
for me. He was a Naial American. Now he's well traveled.
We're actually his fifth school. He's played Division one basketball
in New Mexico State at San Francisco. He's just older,
more experienced than Frankly. He's a better I have to
have somebody who can score. Anthony Roy can score the
(07:50):
other wing. I have a lot of other options, one
of which is Foster Wonders, who's an elite, elite shooter.
I think he shot one in the mid forties from
three last year and he's six foot five. So Dan,
none of this has I have done. Van Santorro, who's
only played a year, barely played at Providence last year.
(08:11):
He's six foot eight. If you actually read my tweet,
it's an accurate, accurate depiction of what I think of him.
He's not a point guard. My point guard would be
Jeremiah Johnson, very likely. Jeremiah Johnson is a top one
hundred and fifty recruit. He's actually older than Bronnie James.
He's twenty going to be twenty one years old. I
(08:32):
think he's a better pro prospect than Bronnie James. He's
about six foot two. He's a tremendous scorer. He played
for Ote this year. None of this is trolling, So look,
we got to get out of the hole. Well, if
you had negative comments about Bronnie, all I've ever said
is was a joke. He was a McDonald's All American last year.
(08:55):
It's equally laughable that he was drafted this year and
that people actually fell for the whole Rich Paul, Oh,
there's no, We're not gonna there's no, there's no package
deal with him and Lebron. Other teams. We told him
not to draft him. Nobody thought he was going to
be drafted or should be drafted that spot. And we
put a young man in a position to fail to fail.
(09:20):
And now what's very likely happened is you kill any
of his confidence. And now even if he ever develops
and becomes good enough to get real minutes in the NBA,
no one's gonna take it seriously. JJ Reddick said he'd
earned it because he'd worked hard. This is nothing more.
And I coached AAU basketball so Dan, I actually know
what the hell I'm talking about. Every parent you have,
(09:42):
myself included with my own kid, believes their kid is
a little bit better or a lot better than they
actually are. And I think what happened with Lebron is
one he thinks his kid's really good, and too he
sees how hard this kid works, not having the perspective
of hey, everybody works that hard, like you would believe
the volume of shots and work that my players do
(10:06):
last year. As you know, I consulted oklhom state that
those guys did. There's a young man named John Michael Wright.
Shout out to John Michael Wright. He shot twenty five
thousand threes last summer. They used the technology called shot tracker.
They documented he shot twenty five thousand threes last summer. Amazing.
(10:32):
And all Lebron's guilty of is being the overly ambitious
parent and using all of his weight to get his
kid to a level that's beyond his level of competency.
As we told you before, that's Peter principle. And when
Jalen Brown says it, he means it. Of course he
(10:53):
means it. When I say it, of course I mean it.
But instead this gets skewed into the eu AE or
now i'm what was I a'most trolling? Wasn't trolling. It
was asked a question. I gave an honest answer. That's
not trolling.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Go ahead, Jay, what did jj Reddit call it? Engagement farming?
I guess this is what Dan is accusing you of. Yes,
the thing that Dan just doesn't quite have is the
context here like that tweet. When I read it first,
it was unsurprising to me because I've heard you for
the last eighteen months give your evl of Brownie, So
(11:31):
to me, it wasn't a surprise at all. But I
think what the New York Post picked it up, awful
Announcing picks it up, and then it's in the blogosphere.
And just because it goes viral doesn't mean that the
source is looking for clicks. You're almost looking at it backwards,
I think. And I don't fault Dan because he kind
of probably just helicoptered in here. But just because your
(11:54):
tweet goes viral doesn't mean you're looking for engagement Like
that spons to that question on Twitter was very consistent
with what you've been saying about Brownie for the last
eighteen months.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
And oh yeah, by the way, there's a portion of
it where like I like the players that I recruited.
By the way, I would love to coach Bonnie James
at this level. I've told people, which now people are
coming around to, he should have gone to Doukine. Go
to Dukane play for a year two years, get supreme
self confidence in what you're doing, establish an identity for
(12:30):
who you are. I mean, if you really want to
get down to what happened, was the first game or
two he just went out there and played and people
were like, well, he's not attacking, he's not doing much,
Like that's actually how he plays. I've seen him play
one hundred times. That's how he plays. And then when
he had that really tough one where he was what
was he like? He was He shot the ball very poorly.
(12:52):
I want to say four for thirteen, but I could
be wrong with the stats. The point is that that
was a game and where and he had no assists.
That was a game where he was trying to do
something which kind of step out of body, which is
trying to be an offensive guy and take over games
like that ain't who he is. Now. Look, that's not
(13:13):
bad if you come to Green Bay and a coach
is behind you and doing it. If you go to Dukane,
which is a higher level than the A ten is
a higher level than our level.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
You go to.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Dukane and your coach gives you the green light like
eventually you can get there. But that's not what the
NBA is, and he's not good enough to do that
in the g League, and I think the process of
trying to get into that point is going to kill
his confidence. And if it doesn't kill his confidence, it's
gonna kill everybody around hm, because the're all gonna roll
their eyes because it's supposed to be professional basketball, and
(13:47):
professional basketball is supposed to be about winning games and
winning games, about being putting the best players out there.
But I thought that was I mean, we could do
a whole show on the Bronni thing on how so
many of these people just lined up to say all
(14:07):
these incredible things about him, either not having watched him play,
or not having the ability to properly analyze what they've seen,
or just scared to tell what they actually think because
somehow they think Bronnie's gonna get lebron is gonna you know,
wipe them off of any TV or radio broadcast.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
You know.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
And again maybe it's it's like the Trump thing, like, look,
he he just everybody who said anything bad about him,
He got them like ostracized, ostracized, ostracized, no matter how
true they were, you know. And now because you know,
Biden just appears too old to do the job, and
(14:54):
because some crazy person took a shot at him like
it's a rap and now he's gonna win and that
gets rewarded. So maybe that's Lebron's thing, is like, look,
it works for other people. You're really powerful, and somebody
says anything negative even when it's even when it's true,
you just use your power. Maybe that's the lesson that
(15:16):
I'm missing. I'm just sitting here telling you what I see,
what I think Jalen Brown did the same thing got
caught on camera, and oh yeah, by the way, good
for Jalen Brown. There was no denial of what he said. None.
That takes some chutzpah. And in this day and age,
(15:37):
we just don't have it unless you're on a hot
take show. And those shows, which one of them is
coming to an end, reflect poorly upon us because I
think Dan thinks that's what everybody does, and I don't.
I don't say things for effect. I don't care. I
naturally piss people off. It's a gift. But if you
(15:59):
got pissed over me telling you what my actual basketball
analysis of of Lebron James Junior or Bronnie James is,
that's on you, not on me. I stand by it.
I like how he guards I likes how he moves
the ball. I like how he gets along with teammates. Okay,
but it wouldn't be my starting point. He's definitely not
(16:19):
better than Anthony Roy for what I need. And if
I had a third, third spot for him, it'd be tough.
It's not a no, never, it's a it'd be tough.
Speaker 5 (16:29):
This is the best of the Don dot Leap Show
on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Pretty appropriate song here Doug Gottlieb Show on Fox Sports Radio.
Mm hmmmm, so good. The only issue Ryan with this
song is she did ode right? This is how she died,
Chase Duke, Can you confirm or deny?
Speaker 3 (16:58):
Oh? I confirm, yes?
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Yeah, I mean that is the only thing about it.
It's the perfect song for this. So I never heard
of Ingrid Andress. Had anyone ever heard of Ingrid and
I listened to country music. Apparently she's a GRAANDMA nominated artist.
She's Is she a country artist?
Speaker 3 (17:16):
I don't know. She kind of sounds more alternative to me.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
But I thought so too. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
I think she's just in the genre of drunk drunk artists.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Yeah, I get it again. My my question is there's
a bunch of things, but the big question. So she
announced it on social media. Oh just you know. Yeah,
here's her national anthem from last night.
Speaker 6 (17:39):
Oh say, can you see by the dawns? Like? What's
so proudly?
Speaker 3 (17:53):
We by the trial light?
Speaker 6 (17:58):
Lastly, who's broad shape?
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Sound?
Speaker 6 (18:04):
Bat through the pairs?
Speaker 4 (18:11):
Fine?
Speaker 6 (18:13):
Oh the rest, but we watch We're so gayly stream.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Rod gets read the bombs burst yay, bra do the
n Yeah we hait. The plans bad uh No, parts
of that are are particularly good. She started out, Okay,
kind of breath et. But I guess the thing is
(18:46):
it's one of those we all think when we get
up there and sing karaoke and we've been drinking, we
sound good. Yeah, that's that's what a Grammy Award winning
artist sounds like when she's been drinking and she gets
up there a cappella. Anyway, So she announced on social
media she's going to rehab thus the plane, and I
(19:09):
think sometimes maybe the statement is what has people wondering, like, Okay,
she taking this thing seriously. I'm not going to bs, y'all.
I was drunk last night. I'm checking myself in the
facility today to get the help I need. That was
not me last night. I apologize Dan will be all
the fans and this country I love so much for
that rendition. I'll let y'all know how rehab is. I
hear it's super fun. This is one of those like
(19:33):
you start joking people and they go like, yeah, you're like, yeah,
you can't say your mama jokes and my mom's got cancer?
Can we not make fun of her now because she's
going to rehab? Jase, do what you're ruling.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
I think you can totally make fun of it because
it was her choice to make that decision, and.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
I thought you're powerless over it when you're if you're
an alcoholic, you're powerless over those decisions.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
Well, I mean you're still going to serve the time
if you do U Y and kill somebody.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Under understand, Ryan, Ryan, what is your feeling on whether
or not we can make fun of her when she's
hammered but says she's going to rehab.
Speaker 7 (20:13):
I think you can still make fun of her. And
it reminds me of a great Norm MacDonald rest in
power joke. Yeah, you have a disease, but I think
you have the best one correct line.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Lie uh Manci, what's your what you're calling? Are you
allowed to make fun of how some how a drunk
acts when they're drunk and then they check in a rehab.
Speaker 8 (20:41):
I even with the fellas. I also, can we just
make fun of the incident, but not making fun of her,
because I mean that was like, we're.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Like when Hasselhoff was eating was it a cheeseburger? Off
the ground? Is that right? Do I remember this correctly?
Speaker 4 (20:58):
When?
Speaker 1 (20:58):
When when when the Hoff was just completely hammered and
he was like he was like eating the eating a cheeseburger?
I want to say, off like off the ground? Is
that my? I remember that, Jay, Dude, this is much.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
More vaguely, vaguely remember this. I vaguely remember that one.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Like people crushed Hasselhof for it, and he was a drunk,
So it's, uh, it's a different one.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
It was to me, it was the least offensive of
the two. In other words, Mancie, I'm going to ask
you to please clarify who this is. Marcello Hernandez uh huh.
He's famous. I don't know, and me look him up. Okay,
so he's the guy that did the introductions for the
home run derby last night. I actually thought he was
(21:43):
pretty good. Oh no, I thought he was pretty good.
This is where we take issue. So Marcello Hernandez, I
guess is also a SNL. Yeah, he is an achro
okay over the top, ridiculous shouting into the microphone. And
I think him having eight no names to introduce as
a problem because if if you're just a sports fan
(22:04):
and not a baseball fan, you tune into this and
it's like, why is this guy yelling at me? Who
are these people that he's talking about?
Speaker 4 (22:10):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (22:10):
It just seemed utterly ridiculous. And then you had the
national anthem and I'm like, man, can majorly Baseball get
one thing right? Ever? It just never seems to get
anything right. Last week was their draft, and the thing
that people most talked about from the draft on Twitter
was how bad they botched up the technology on the
(22:31):
introductions of the players, Like, why can't we get anything
right in baseball?
Speaker 8 (22:35):
I thought the intros were really great.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
Actually, I'm going to try to hold.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Yeah, I'm I'm with Jason. I was just over the top,
just too too much, wwe to like too much? Too much.
I don't know, It's it's a hard one. It's it's
a space that only two people occupy and they're both brothers, right,
(23:03):
and they do UFC and boxing together. But outside of that,
very few people can own those type of introductions. Let's
get you to Manci Belangos Stug Gottlieb show here on
Fox Sworts Radio. Let's welcome in. He's the absolute best
in the business. He's John Palmerrose. Of course, he's Fox
Sports Radio's MLB insider and he worked for the MLB network.
(23:28):
What can you say, like, I don't even I don't
even know who won the home run Derby last night.
I don't know anyone talking about the home run Derby
last night because they couldn't get past the intros in
the national Anthem JP.
Speaker 4 (23:39):
Yes, that certainly became quite a story the anthem, and
obviously some continued follow ups with that story here today
as well. But yes, the eventual winner of the home
run Derby was Taaskar Ernandez of the Dodgers, who had
actually two very close matches, the semi final against Alec
Bohm and then the final against the hometown favorite because
(24:02):
he's from the area, Bobby Witt Junior. So the new
format seemed to have a lot of fans. People like
the pace of it, the excitement created some late drama.
And who would have thought that when the season began
that the man of Monday Night, at least at the
All Star Game, was wearing a Dodger uniform. But he
was not Otani or Bets or Freeman, but tascar Adnandez,
(24:25):
who was one of the best findings I believe, Doug,
in terms of dollar for dollar last offseason.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Okay, let's let's dive into as we get ready for
the second half of the season. What do you think
is the biggest question mark in baseball heading into part two?
Speaker 4 (24:41):
What are the Dodgers going to do with their pitching staff.
It's amazing to say it, Doug, but there was not
a team that needed the All Star Break more than
the Los Angeles Dodgers. I just could not have fathomed
that when the season began that they would have all
these different arms on the IL. But there's basically an
(25:02):
entire rotation plus for the Dodgers all on the injured list.
You can begin with Glass now, Kershaw is still there,
Yamamoto is there. They've sent Bobby Miller to the minor
League's Walker Buehlers on the IL. Dust and Dusty Mayze
out for the season. It's an amazing amount of attrition
on that rotation. At the moment. They had to start
(25:22):
openers in basically three of the last four games, Doug,
before the All Star break. So they are now under pressure.
They did all that spending in the off season, and
yet they're scrambling. They are scrambling for pitching. They believe
the glass now and Kershaw will be able to start
games for them at some point in time this month, Doug.
But this is now in a lot of ways, if
(25:44):
you're selling pitching, if you're the White Sox, if you're
the Tigers, if you're possibly the Cincinnati Red the Toronto
Blue Jays, you have the ideal scenario. You have got
a team with a massive budget and a good farm
system with from tremendous pressure to add of the deadline,
and the Los Angeles Dodgers now faced exactly that pressure
(26:05):
ahead of July thirtieth, all right.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
And before we can get to that, of course, you've
got the All Star Game tonight. What's the level of
excitement seeing Paul Skeen's the guy who's the first number
one pick to go basically straight to the biggs, you know,
pitching college baseball, right, to the bigs now right to
starting the UL Star Game. What's the level of excitement
around the league to get a talent like this that
(26:28):
has been the talent has been translatable, you know, so
oftentimes college stars it takes them a while. What's the
level of excitement.
Speaker 4 (26:36):
Like I think that to your point, and in Monthy's
update coming in, I mean, I said to me, there's
such a curiosity about if we're going to see Aaron
Judge bat against him and have Juan Soto making I
think a really fun prediction that Judge is going to
bat in the first inning, which I love, by the way,
and just think about it. There are a lot of
(26:56):
starting pitchers, a lot of very quality starting pitchers in
the league right now, But for how many other pitchers, Doug,
would you and I be talking hours before first pitch
wondering who's going to come to the point in the
first inning with such curiosity and excitement. You're right, Paul
Skins was the number one pick in the draft basically
this week one year ago, and that to me is
(27:20):
emblematic of the way that developing baseball players has changed.
I think we're seeing in certain these schemes is an exception,
but we're seeing more and more players and pitchers especially
rushed because there's an awareness that, hey, given the amount
of injuries that we're seeing in Major League Baseball right now,
it is in our best interest and probably even the
(27:40):
player's best interest in a certain financial sense, to have
as many of his pitches as possible count in the
Major League. That's the goal here, get him up to
where his pitches have the best chance to help us
win a World Series. And at the moment, the Pittsburgh Pirates,
while there are distance away from being of that caliber
and chasing after a World Series title, certainly playing very well,
(28:03):
much much better baseball of late, and I for one
just cannot wait to tune into Night on Fox and
hear what Johnson Bulls has to say in the first
sitting about what he's using ball schemes. That is what,
as Tory Leavello said, the NL manager, why he shows
schemes to start this game. It is what the people
want to see.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
Yeah, and that's why in the All Star Game did
Rob Manfred talked about using robot umpires in spring training?
How close to reality is that?
Speaker 4 (28:32):
I think, Doug, We're getting closer. We are getting we're
getting closer. It's now And for clarification, what robot umpires
means to I think us as the baseball community is
you're still going to see an umpire behind the plate,
but the misses and the challenge system, which it seems
like a lot of people like to correct basically the
egregious miss the pitch that's called a ball and is
(28:57):
actually a strike or vice versa and totally wings the
leverage in and out bat totally changes everything in terms
of what's what's happening. That is the kind of situation
that will be reviewed via the challenges and the rest
of the game is going to be normal, but you
now have the ability just like we just got done
watching Wimbledon. It's that level of technology to where we
(29:18):
see the outcome, we see the ability to then discern, okay,
was it a ballrus strike? And the ruling Doug is instantaneous?
Is it is second? And I think in terms of
the pace of play and the overall concerned about the game,
I think it actually helps because the amount of time
that you used to see the umpire turn and look
(29:40):
at the dug out and he says, hey, where'd you
have that? That pitches up, that, pitches down that, then
that's out. That's all gone because you just tap your helmet,
review it and within five seconds you have the answer.
So I think it's it's going to be a much
better system for everybody involved.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Yankees lost a to the last twelve and Brian Cashman
took to the road with the team. What changes do
you see for them in the second half of the season.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
My goodness, it is I think a team that has
a lot of pressure. I think even more so, probably
than the Dodgers in the strange way because the Dodgers
are at the beginning of this Otani era as much
as the Dodgers steel pressure to win. Mookie Betts is
still part of their team next year. Freddy Freeman is
(30:24):
still part of their team next year. Show is still there,
Will Smith is still there. Yamamoto is still there. With
the Yankees. It's it's the big one two punch between
Judge and Soto and one of them. Soto is a
free agent when the season is over, and if the
last couple of weeks Doug have shown anything it is
that this team really is dependent upon those two players.
(30:47):
Ben Rice has coming and played a very good first base.
But the Baltimore Orioles right now have the better lineup
depth one through nine, and you could actually argue that
the Orioles, even though they're bullpen perfections, that even that
bullpen is probably better than what the Yankees have right now.
The Yanks have it all Start Closer and Clay Holmes,
but the bridge is not what you would expect it
(31:09):
to be. So it's it's always a fun deadline, Doug,
when teams like the Dodgers and the Yankees have a
lot of pressure on them to do something. And one
more team I'm watching carefully, the Seattle Mariners. Jerry Depoto,
Justin Holland are their front office. They almost always make
a move, and they only have a one game lead
(31:30):
on the Houston Astros, who have gotten up off the
canvas and made this into a prey compelling American League
West Racers begin the second half. So I can't wait, Doug.
It's gonna be a lot of fun tonight and then
a lot of fun ahead of the trade deadline on
July the thirtieth.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
I've got to see the Brewers play in person. I
don't know how they've done this thing with all their
pitching injuries. I know Knig's back close to coming back,
Hughes in Triple A, so is Joe Ross. But this
thing's kind of held together patchwork with all the injuries
they've had. Brewer's going to make any moves here late.
Speaker 4 (32:03):
I think they will, but it's probably going to be similar,
Doug to what we've already seen them do with the
Aaron Stavali deal, where I think they're going to look
to incrementally improve their team. Maybe they would make a
play for someone like Frankie Montossle the Cincinnati Reds, who's available.
I know it's in division, but the Reds to me
look like a selling team. Maybe a pitcher like a
(32:26):
yuse Ki Succi with the Toronto Blue Jays. I can
see that kind of a move. I don't think it's
going to be a massive salary or a massive long
term commitment. The Brewers really do a great job of
managing well their identity and what they've got. And to
your point, it's been the somewhat unheralded trio of Colin Ray,
(32:47):
Freddie Peralta, Tobias Myers who have really kept this group
going from a rotation perspective, and again I mentioned Aaron Savali.
He has come in, he has started a couple of
games and done quite well in his brief time in
a Milwaukee Brewers uniform. So I think they'll probably make
an upgrade there with their with their rotation, at least
a back end guy who either start a game or
go potentially into the bullpen. And I love their everyday
(33:09):
line up. I think Bryce Terrang has really emerged as
a nice player. Doug, He's already stolen thirty basism. He's
a tremendous athlete. I mean, he's he is the kind
of athlete that I believe that that would look good
run on the floor for the for the Green Bay Phoenix.
This is what I would say Dog in terms of
he's a good enough athlete that I think he could
play for the Phoenix in the Horizon League.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
You know, it's it's interesting you bring that up.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
I was.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
I was with their front office. It was in draft day.
I was down there when I threw out the first
pitch and they were talking about, like, look, everyone in
their position players at some point in their lives was
a shortstop and they're drafting athleticism over everything else. It's like, Hey,
if you're an athlete you can hit, we want you.
That's legit, that's and they feel like the rules of
the game have changed so that athleticism is paramount in
(33:58):
any position you play. And oh yeah, by the way,
it helps you in the base pass. That's part of
how they've changed their acquisition of personnel via the draft
or a free agency.
Speaker 4 (34:09):
That's a great point, Doug, and I think that's why
this week and again the baseball draft has for a
long time sort of been the realm of the die
hard fan or the longtime fantasy league owner and then
the keeper league or people that are really into the
prospect world. But Paul's schemes proves it. That was last
year and how impactful that can be. And I think
(34:31):
Bryce Terrange was a draft pick by the Brewers. The
smaller your payroll, the smaller your market, the more that
you have to hit on the draft, the more important
it is. And you're right in this new model of
baseball where the shift is out, you've got a better
pace to the game. Base running is more important. Being
able to really cover your position with athleticism is more important.
(34:54):
That's where Bryce Terrang becomes all the more crucial to
a team. I think overall the Milwaukee lineup ha a
lot of younger position players. William Contreras is twenty six
years of age. I still think of him as a
pretty young player. Joey Ortiz played tremendously well coming in
in that trade from Baltimore, Blake Perkins playing center for
They've got a twenty year old right fielder in Jackson Shurio.
(35:16):
It was interesting, Doug I was actually talking about a
cross sports comparison. I was at the NHL Draft in
Vegas last month, and one of the gms there ATIL Armstrong,
we had a great point. He said, Listen, when you're
negotiating with free agents, their agents and their salary demands
can block what you're trying to do. When you're negotiating
on a trade, the other team's desires can block what
you want to do. The draft is the one time
(35:38):
of the year whereas an organization, it's all right there
in front of you. You are totally the master of
your own destiny. And I love that thinking. I think
it really empowers teams to do the right things. And
that's where it's one day you're or in this case
with baseball, it's the three day draft. The three days
where you can say all of these players are what
(36:00):
we wants to represent for our organization, and certainly that's
probably something that coach and Gottlieb could say as well
about your the culture. But that's certainly what the Brews
are doing very very well as well.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
John Paul, you are the best. Enjoy the All Star
Game tonight. Look forward to seeing your work and hearing

How was it amazing?
Speaker 4 (36:33):
Isn't it beautiful? I was. I was born up there.
We could do the whole this is your life, but
I was. I was born in Marquette. That's my You're

I come see us. We got Oakland, we got Detroit.

behind the bench wherever you want. Okay, love it.

(37:56):
to hear how Tiger Woods responded to Colin Montcomery. It
was great, we'll get to that upcoming. But continued talks
and rumors of expansion in college football. Florida State still
upset at being kind of left out of the conference shuffle.
They don't like the deal they have with television, and
it appears that the SEC yesterday Greg sankei is like, eh,
(38:20):
we're good, and though the Big ten may expand, Florida
State does not fit what they want Clemson either. Part
of what Greg Sankee's not saying is a poorly kept
secret that in the SEC Kentucky, South Carolina, Georgia and
Florida have an alliance. I tell people all along that
(38:51):
Survivor is, by my estimation, the best show in terms
of helping you understand how business relationships work. Right. So
much of it is about alliances, and yes, people will
turn on you in those alliances, a lot of them will,
(39:11):
you know, just for self preservation. But that's all. This
is a case of right, would the SEC like to
have Florida State and Clemson? Yeah? Probably Louisville and Georgia Tech.
Sure that gives them twenty teams, all regionally based. You
already miss Missippi state, you have Auburn, Alabama. You already
(39:31):
have Texas and Oklahoma, though not in the same state
and natural rival rivals. Right, you know, Arkansas has their
own state. There's no other big time Division one, but
they'll net. Memphis will never get in because of Arkansas.
But the point is that those schools, and I believe
when they got Missouri right, Missouri was a part of
(39:54):
that alliance, and A and M for a long time
thought that was their deal too. Hey, nobody else from
Texas is getting in, but Texas is. It's just too
big to say no to. Once they could get them,
the SEC took them. But that does open up the
door for the Big twelve, and the Big twelve would
(40:15):
more than make it work. And the question is where
would the Big twelve stop? Right? Would they stop with
just those two? Would they add Louisville, which would make
sense with Cincinnati giving them an old Metro Conference USA.
I don't know if you guys remember they're actually in
the Great Midwest Conference together. Like, where would they stop?
But Clemson in South Carolina. They have value, maybe not
(40:38):
the value of a North Carolina because of North Carolina
their academic credentials are better. But the SEC saying hey,
we're good, and the Big twelve saying we're open for business.
That tells you all you need to know. Stut Gottlieb
Show here on Fox Sports Radio. Man, there's a lot
of stuff going on. I thought we had one of
(40:58):
the best back and forth we've ever had in our
show prep meeting Jason when we were talking about Brandon.
Iok do you remember what was discussed?
Speaker 3 (41:06):
I do, Man, I'll never forget it. To be honest,
I should have been recording. It was much better than
anything we've ever done on there.
Speaker 1 (41:14):
I would agree. Here's the basis of it, Manci Okay,
here's the basis of it. We're going through all the
different topics right that we want to get to. I mean,
you had the national anthem and then she comes out
and she's like, hey, I was drunk. I'm going to
rehab like that whole thing. It's one of those It's
like when you're telling your mama jokes and somebody says
your mama's got cancer, right, Like my mom has cancer,
(41:36):
Like whoa like, are we allowed to make fun of
this chick we've never heard of because she was drunk.
Now she says she's going to rehab. I don't know.
We have a lot. There's obviously more brownie stuff. There's
what were the other topics? There's the conference expansion is
there's a little Caitlin Clark there as well. There's a
(41:58):
good amount of topics. And I had started with when
I picked up the phone, I was talking to Jason,
was like, all right, we got Brandon Ayuk. We got
I started to get through, we got the DeVante Adams
sound from NFL films where he's like getting me out
of here in the talks. And after we got done
going through the topics, I believe you circled back and
you're like, where do you want to put Brandon Ayuk?
(42:20):
And I said, I think we're gonna have to leave
that to Manci. And you said, if that doesn't say
all it needs to be said for Brandon Ayuk, I
don't know what else there is. Correct.
Speaker 3 (42:30):
Yeah, I thought that was a great line.
Speaker 1 (42:32):
Yeah, it was a great line.
Speaker 3 (42:33):
Was a good one.
Speaker 8 (42:35):
I mean, yeah, that's pretty much.
Speaker 3 (42:36):
Yeah, I think it is a one liner. Yeah, so
it led your newscast, and our point in our production
meeting was there are so many other good things to
talk about today and Brandon Ayuk just doesn't rise to
the level of interest to even cover today.
Speaker 8 (42:53):
Yeah, especially when the reports are that they're not going
to trade him.
Speaker 3 (42:57):
He's just asking for one exactly right.
Speaker 1 (43:00):
Yeah, Okay, So I'll give you an example here, monseie.
What I'm talking about. This stuff is gold. This is gold.
So Colin Montgomery said that tiger Woods should call it
a career because he didn't seem to enjoy a single
shot at the US Open. Okay, So they get ready
(43:22):
for the Open Championship. Okay, they get ready for the
Open Championship, which is the used to be the British Open.
Has always been called the Open Championship, but only now
we've taken to calling at the Opening Championship. And this
was tiger Wood's response when asked when he would call
it a career.
Speaker 9 (43:36):
You know, there was comments, you know, last week from
Colin Montgomery who said, why is he here? He should retire.
Let's not point to this. Do you feel that's about
hopeful and you've done the right to you make the
decision when you decided, Well.
Speaker 10 (43:49):
As a past champion, I'm exempt to him sixty Colin's not.
He's not a pass champion, so he's not exempt, So
he doesn't get the opportunity to make that decision I do.
Speaker 9 (44:00):
I mean, you've you've disseelved that you saw when I get.
Speaker 10 (44:03):
To at his age, I like that decision?
Speaker 3 (44:06):
Why he doesn't?
Speaker 1 (44:08):
That's awesome. Do you know what that's called monsiere? You
know that's called what that's called being a badass. Yeah,
that's called let that's called letting you know, that's called
letting you nuts? Hanging a little bit right there, that's
called you know that is that's the don't you know
who I am?
Speaker 2 (44:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (44:24):
Don't you know who I am? Which I will point
out I get pulled over last night, So I did
you say that?
Speaker 8 (44:33):
Don't you know who I am?
Speaker 1 (44:35):
I've never said that, have ever ever said that? Because
I'm not Tiger effing Woods. So yesterday I drove twelve
hours twelve So my daughter Harper's in town and she
has a there's a gigantic writing show. Many people know
fall me. She's a superstar equestrian, and I had to
(44:59):
make the call. She she could fly and you gotta
fly to Chicago and then fly there. You can't fly
even though it's like an hour if you fly from
Green Bay to Traverse City. If you look at a map,
Traverse City is on virtually the tip of the state
of Michigan Lower Michigan as it's called. It's on the tip.
It's beautiful, and Green Bay is close to the it's
(45:22):
close to the northeastern tip of the state of Wisconsin.
So if you had a little puddle jumper, you can
jump over there in an hour. Otherwise you got to
drive around and it's six hours. If you go to
the upper Peninsula of Michigan, you go all the way
up above close to Canada, and then you come back
down through the mac Macinac Mackinaw Bridge, which is one
(45:45):
of the oldest, biggest, longest bridges in the country. And
she's freaked out about bridges because of the Baltimore Bridge collapse.
Or you go through Chicago, but that'd take it like
eight hours, and that's that's a no go. So I
thought up to myself, my daughter's eighteen, she's going to
college in the fall, and I'm like, how many times
in my life am I going to get six six
(46:07):
and a half hours in a car with my daughter,
and it was awesome. It was great. We stopped a
couple of times. We started a tractors supply, which she loves.
I have. I got a new puppy. I don't know.
I told you guys, I got a new pup. Puppy.
I got a puppy.
Speaker 8 (46:24):
That's how you start the show.
Speaker 2 (46:26):
Dog.
Speaker 1 (46:27):
I got a puppy.
Speaker 8 (46:28):
What kind of puppy?
Speaker 1 (46:29):
A sheepydoodle?
Speaker 8 (46:31):
I don't know what that is, like, I'm gonna look
it up.
Speaker 5 (46:32):
Say it again.
Speaker 1 (46:33):
Sheep dog, poodle, sheep a doodle. I already have a
sheep a doodle, but he's not he doesn't he's not
with me. He's alive, but he doesn't stay with me anymore. So, uh,
you know, so I wanted to get I need a
recruit a sheep a dooodle. So I got a sheep
a doodle that came in Sunday night. So we took
the dog with us. The dog was awesome, cute, and
we drove six anyway. So I was gonna stay the
(46:54):
night and get up in the morning and drive back
and do the show. Instead, I was like, ah, and fine,
I'll turn around all just we had a great dinner,
walked around Travers City a little bit. She's staying with
a friend, and now we're coming back. So fifty one
in a thirty five at one thirty in the morning. Now,
(47:18):
I will give the Michigan local Police officer credit. He
ticketed me at five miles an hour over. But the
point is when you pull somebody over at one thirty
in the morning, they either have to be going ninety
or be drunk right otherwise you're like, hey, man, slow
it down. So it's a route too, which goes right
along Lake Michigan, like all along Luke Lake, Michigan. You know,
(47:43):
it's a two lane highway most of the way, and
so I you know, so you come into these small
little towns right on the lake, and I get you
got to slow it down. But I wasn't like jam
and jammin. But I had my bluetooth going. I was
listening to a podcast. My puppy was asleep. It's like
one thirty in the morning. I'm drinking some coffee and
(48:03):
the guy's like, do you know what I pulled joke for?
I was like, probably speeding, yes, okay, And then he
starts getting into your driver's licenses California. These plates are
from Wisconsin. It's not your car. And I didn't do
the do you know who I am? Because I'm just
a radio host and basketball coach. But Tiger Woods he
(48:26):
was pushed to the point of and the best part
of do you know who I am? Was he didn't
say do you know who I am? He just said
do you know.
Speaker 8 (48:34):
Who I am?
Speaker 1 (48:36):
And the last guy I can remember doing that was
Kevin Durant when Pat Beverley and those guys talked ish
about him and then he gave him fifty and he's like,
you know who I am? I'm Kevin Durant. I loved it.
Can we hear it again? I just want to listen
to Tiger Woods once again. Take his junk out and
put it right there on the table.
Speaker 9 (48:55):
Do you know there was Coleman's you know last week
from callh Motgomery who said, why is he here? He
should drink tier. Let's a point to this. Do you
feel that's about Hopeful? And you've filmed the right to
you make the decision when you decided, Oh.
Speaker 10 (49:07):
Well, as a past champion, I'm exempt to him sixty
Colin's not He's not a past champion, so he's not exempt,
so he doesn't get the opportunity to make that decision
I do.
Speaker 9 (49:19):
I mean, you've you'veiled, you've disserlved it.
Speaker 10 (49:21):
You've saw when I get to baby out his age,
I make that decision. Why he doesn't.
Speaker 1 (49:26):
How great is that It wasn't just he said, you
know who I am? You know him past champion. You
know Colin Montgomery who's somehow in the Hall of Fame
only never won crap on the PGA Tour and didn't
win the Open Championship, which as a as somebody from
Europe he should win. And they know, yeah, by the way,
he's old. That's the other part that he said, that's
as good as sound as you're ever going to get.
(49:49):
That's as good a don't you know who I am?
Without saying don't you know who I am? That was
big time. Well done Tiger Woods. And it's interesting we're
talking about Dan Patrick. Know Dan had an interview with
Tiger once that was fantastic and they were playing golf
together or no, he said they were. He was doing
(50:09):
an interview about playing golf with him, and he's like,
how much Dan asked Colin excuse me. Dan asked Tiger
how much would we play for, and Tiger's response was
whatever amount makes you nervous. I thought that was a
perfect response to man. Tiger's good on his feet, really
good on his.
Speaker 3 (50:28):
Feet, And that got the assumption there is that no
amount makes me nervous.
Speaker 1 (50:33):
Correct, well, big bank, take a little bank.
