It's the way that tire buying should be. Do doo
b b b b b ba. It usually takes a
couple of days. And that's what happened here. Where you
(00:49):
see a story and you're like, man, how did that
go down? And then you know the postsportem you get
somebody who goes back and gets the details to why
something that at the time seems so crazy actually happened.
There's a writer named Bridgid Kennedy I have not heard of.
(01:09):
I will say that Bridget did a good job, but
really what is Bridget?
Speaker 2 (01:15):
We think? Said woman.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
I'm not trying to be offensive. I don't know, but
I would guess it's not Bridget, it's Bridgid. Anyway, what
the writer did was basically compile quotes and the story
from all these other stories about what led to Mike
Malone's dismissal as head coach, Like less than two weeks
(01:39):
before the playoffs. This was from Tim McMahon and Ramona
Shelbourn at ESPN. Everybody in the organization was miserable. That's
what Josh Conki felt is a bad vibe. He can't
operate like that. He felt like if you remove those
two people, everyone could just focus on doing their job,
and the change was needed. Kronky won a clean house
(02:03):
at All Star Break, but in an eight game winning
streak he decided not to. There were certain trends that
were very worse worrisome, Kronky said in house meeting earlier
this week. At a certain point in time, they would
get masked by a few wins here or there, and
the world of professional sports were winning and losing is
your currency. Winning can mask a lot.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Very true.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
So what and Bridget is a young woman, but really
it's I don't Jason, would you call it like aggregated
two point zero. Right, it's not just purely aggregation, but
it's where you aggregate a bunch of different stories and
then print out quotes within it from those stories come
(02:49):
compiled together. How would you Is that just all aggregation
or is that like an aggregation advanced sort of thing.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
No.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
I think it sounds like the very definition of aggregation.
Take from a multiple sources, put it into one story,
make it your own. It helps radio producers, really does.
Because I could have read Ramona Shelburne's piece tonight today,
but I didn't have twenty thousand words to read in
(03:17):
my prep today. So I like when they aggregate, make
it easy for me take all the high level stuff.
This like the Don Draper of sports writing.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Well, last year they fire Frank Ogel, And when you
have a guy for one year and then you fire him,
you basically lay all the blame at his feet in
Phoenix and now in Phoenix is bad again.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
You're like, well, maybe it's not Frank Vogel for Denver.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
I think it's a lot of questions as to timing
and as I've been told, and some of this that
is in these articles is that Memphis firing their coach,
you know, like a week and a half before gave
them the oh we can fire our coach now, we'll
do this now as well. It is a copycat league
and people trying to spark energy, spark intentionality right before
(04:09):
the playoffs. This is not a new idea. This is
simply the way that the Nuggets are doing. But the
everybody is miserable is yeah, that's when it's time to go.
That's the time to go. You just can't just not
a place that people want to work. And not that
it matters the ancillary staff if they're miserable, but at
(04:31):
some point it does creep in there and then you
gotta wonder. You know, there were some reports that among
the kind of protected class with the players, Russell Westbrook
was among that protected class, and you're like, why would
Russell Westbrook still be protected class? He's not good enough
for that, And it's an interesting one. Right wherever he's gone,
(04:54):
it hasn't been great. I think it ended off in
pretty good, in a pretty good place with the Clippers,
but it wasn't great for the most part. The Lakers
were an abject disaster. You know, he's been bouncing team
to team to team and none of them have been
left feeling great vibes. It's one of those buyer beware
for you're the Nuggets. You look at the production, you
know who he is. You look at him coming off
(05:15):
the bench, and and the attitude he plays with and
the fact he's unselfish, and you assume, hey, this one's great,
when it doesn't feel like at this point in time,
he's a positive. He's a net positive for your team
wins and loses an overall vibe wise, he's a net negative.
(05:36):
He's a net negative. But you know, like the more
the stories come out, the more you sit there and
go like, yeah, why did they do this sooner? Like, well,
they were winning before. There's an expression that was given
to me by Dick Bennett, who's a legendary coach here
at Green Bay, and he told us very early on,
(05:58):
don't accept in winning, which you wouldn't accept in losing.
And it's really hard, right, like two guys aren't getting along.
You know, you got to make a change. Well, we
won eight games a road at the All Star break,
not going to make a change now. Nope, don't accept
winning what you wouldn't accept in losing. Don't accept in winning,
(06:18):
So Hey, I want to give a space for a
time for a Master's update. I think I'm kind of
jealous of buyer Jase two, like he has a thing
that he like sets his whole year. I take days
off and I watch and I just don't have that.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Right. Here's here's an honest question, Jason.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
If you were at home and that music came on
and you're watching golf, how many holes could you make
it before you fall asleep?
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Yeah, it's pretty Uh, I don't know, maybe two or three?
Speaker 2 (07:00):
What about you, Sammy?
Speaker 4 (07:02):
How many holes can I watch before falling asleep?
Speaker 5 (07:04):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (07:04):
Huh uh yeah? Maybe I almost five to nine.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
I feel like the Masters, especially with the music and
with the ambient sound. I feel like it's as close
to reading a novel as anything. And when I say
reading a novel, people are like, what do you read anymore? No,
because once I get to like the third page, I'm asleep.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
So you don't need melatonin anymore. You need a book.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
I've never need a melotonin. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
I thought you a bit of a I thought you
had you were a bit of a finicky sleeper at times. No,
you have trouble getting You do have trouble getting a sleep. No, okay,
that's good.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Stay staying occasionally, you know, I'll be up at four.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
We get that book out then.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
But falling asleep, yeah, I guess, or or the Masters.
Speaker 6 (07:45):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
It is very zen in a very golf zen way.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Yeah, but I mean do we really? Are you really
as fired up about? Like I'm not criticizing Dan, Dan
this is he loves it.
Speaker 4 (07:59):
You could hear the joyin his voice yesterday. Yeah, like
you could hear bliss. He's just as I said he
to Jason. He was a pig and slop just rolling around.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Just I don't have a sport or something I watch
on TV that brings me.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
That much joy.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
Really, even basketball, No, No, I love.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
I love coaching basketball, playing basketball, watching basketball, But no
I don't. There's not like, no, I don't geek out
over watching a basketball event.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
No, Gusta Georgia is a little more aesthetically pleasing than
a basketball court. A little flowers.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
You watch you watch your mouth there, Sonny, you watch
your mouth there.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
I mean, if you show me the you show me
the Hoosiers court, then I might change my mind. That's
a nostalgic trip.

Speaker 1 (09:00):
Got leap show here on Fox Sworts Radio. Ah, watching
somebody's ball roll into the water. That looks familier, that
looks familiar. St Bernhart Longer and we want to talk
about Bernhard Longer. Then he just want to hit one
of the drink. So we're gonna go to dan Byer
(09:20):
shortly he's he's at home.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
This is what he does. If you're just joining us.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Dany is not like our our most avid golfer and
golf fan, but he loves this event. And so he
takes to the first two days off of work, sits
his house, puts it on, a bunch of TVs, does stuff,
does tuas work whatever, takes care of Brody, and watches
the Masters, and like Bustman's holiday, he will hop on
with us and tell us what's going on. Kind of cool.
(09:47):
We're efforting to get him red efforting to get him Obviously,
he's very concerned with Bernhard Longer's lie. Now that he's
gonna have to drop brought Roy McElroy's had a very
good second day, so was Bryson Shambeau and Scottie Scheffler.
Justin Rose still remains atop of the field. We're getting
all that with Dan Byer upcoming here on the Doug
(10:07):
Gottlieb Show on Fox Sports Radio. Stug Gottlieb Show here
on Fox Sports Trade. Let's welcome in our good friend
Dan Byer. Who's uh, you've heard of Butler's Cabin? Have
you heard of Buyer's Cabin? It broadcasting night for buyers.
Speaker 6 (10:23):
A nice at Buyer's Cabin?
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Is it?
Speaker 6 (10:29):
Is that your mug or my mug? Doug? Is that?
I think that's mine?
Speaker 1 (10:34):
It's yours. It's delicious, it's the vodka the Senate. I'm
watching Freddy Couples kind of hang around here. Is he's
one over now?
Speaker 2 (10:44):
It seems like he's he's fading a little bit.
Speaker 6 (10:47):
I'd love for Freddy Couples to be the story. And
he was a little bit yesterday with his with his
chip ends. But Freddy Couples isn't even the oldest guy
in his sixties to be the story right now. I mean,
Freddy's at sixty five, ye, Bernard Longer's sixty seven, turns
(11:09):
sixty eight this summer, announced he's going to be playing
in his last Masters this week, this could be his
final round, and he right now is hovering around the
cut line. I only say that because he just put
it in the water on fifteen, but he was even
pared through fourteen holes today and the cut line is
(11:30):
sitting there at plus two. So even if Bernhard is
able to get up and down for a bogie, he's
still on the right side of the cut line. And
for a guy that's sixty seven years old, closer to
sixty eight than he is sixty six, I mean, cheez crazy,
considering just the state of the game, the state of
(11:50):
this course. He hits it like two thirty. He set
off the tee, So I mean he's it's crazy of
what Bernhard Long is doing, but he's going to battle
to make the cut. But he and Freddy have been
a good story, and when I think's been a really
good Master so far.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Okay, let's talk about Rory's comeback. I'm looking at him
atop leaderboard.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
What happened.
Speaker 6 (12:11):
What happened yesterday was basically a couple of bad shots.
The chip on fifteen was the killer, but otherwise, if
you look at what he did for a majority of
his whole round, he was really really solid. So to
leave at even par, I think a lot of us
thought Rory's going to be dejected, He's not going to
be able to bounce back from this, considering Justin Rose
(12:35):
was sitting there in the lead at seven unders, so
you're seven shots back of the lead. And then he
comes out today and doesn't make any of the mistakes
that he made on fifteen seventeen yesterday, and today plays
flawless golf, shoots six under sixty six and is now
in the thick of things. And I think that you
could argue that he is playing the best golf of
(12:57):
anybody in this field right now, including the leader leader
Justin Rose, and including Bryson de Shambeau's supperers sandwiched in
between Rose and Rory. It truly was two bad shots
for Rory McElroy yesterday that just put him behind the
eight ball, and I think a lot of us just
felt maybe Rory's got the fragile mind. He's been working with,
(13:20):
you know, this famed sports psychologist Bob Rotella, and it
apparently really helped Rory because he was he was spot
on today, not a blemish on the scorecard, and now
absolutely in the thick of.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Things Steut Gottlieb show here on Fox Sports Trader, that's
the voice of our good friend Dan Byer, who is
our who's our resident everything when it comes to the Masters,
I'm looking at the leader board. Bryson's at seven under,
seven under sixty eight in the clubhouse.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
How's he played.
Speaker 6 (13:54):
It's played very well. And this is this is the
scary part of it for Rory. It could be deja
vous all over again from the US Open that happened
at Pinehurst, where Bryson was able to was able to
best Rory and had that great shot out of the
sand on the seventy second hole and made his pot,
something that Rory wasn't able to do at Pinehurst last summer.
(14:18):
And it's this is where the live PGA Tour stuff
really kind of really comes into focus, Doug, because yeah,
it's gonna be awesome if these two are battling down
the stretch again. But this is what we're missing then
throughout the rest of the season is then Deshamba goes
his way, Rory goes his way. They reconvene at the
(14:39):
PGA then they separate again, and then they come back
at the US Open. This could be a rivalry that
we see. I mean, Bryson's been in contention maybe should
have won the PGA last year when Xander Schaffley ended
up winning the first of his two majors. But so
Bryson bounced back from that almost win at the PGA
and won the UN Open, and you would have this
(15:02):
rivalry with he and Rory going head to head. I
would expect many of people in looking at the weekend
to say, it's either going to be Bryson. It's either
going to be Rory, or it's going to be Scotty Scheffler,
who is still in the thick of things. But this
is the part that stinks about the Live split. And
I do think that Bryson stays motivated. I'm not sure
(15:24):
like John Ram has gone the other way with his
game and in signing Live, and a lot of people
have talked about how Rom's kind of fallen off the
map when he was world number one at one point,
where Live hasn't been good for him. I do think
that it's been good for Bryson in the way where
he's able to do other things he still stays competitive,
but he does his YouTube stuff, does his social media stuff,
(15:46):
can tinker as much as he wants, and he's completely
revamped his image. But he's been he's been a story
in golf in the last year or so because of
what he's done in these majors, and you have to
consider him a threat at Augusta as a legit, legit guy,
considering your one shot off the lead. He only had
one blemish on his score card today, Bogiet sixteen. Otherwise
(16:08):
it's just been pretty darn near solid golf for Bryson
to Shamba the whole way.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
All right, sets up for a great weekend, right, I
mean you have big names atop, I mean Justin Rose,
Bryceon to Shambeau and uh and Rory McRoy, Roy Macrofler, Scotti,
Scheffler atop that this is kind of dream scenario a
little bit going into the weekend.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (16:33):
Yeah, this is also a secret of the Masters.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Yeah, there's no secret.
Speaker 6 (16:37):
There's no no names, correct, There's it's a limited field
where a US Open you're gonna have one hundred and
fifty six guys in it. This year they had ninety
five players in the Masters, and they felt that it
was a larger field than other years. Some years they've
been in the high eighties. And when you consider when
you consider Fred Gubbles and Bernard Longer, who we talked
(16:59):
about off the top, realistically, those guys aren't in contention.
There's usually a handful of amateurs now and again Sam
Bennett a couple of years ago contended, but the amateurs
aren't necessarily contending. Sure, so when you look at the field,
maybe there's sixty guys that have a chance, maybe like
two thirds of the field. And this allows like the
(17:19):
stars and the cream to rise to the top. It's
a sneaky way of doing it that I don't think
a lot of people realize. But it always provides great
drama and Masters and Augusta National could do whatever they want,
and it provides just great theater. And this is one
of it. Look at all the names. Heck, Justin Rose
(17:40):
is gonna be a great story in his mid forties.
He's gonna have all of the old guys like you
and me maybe pulling for him to get that one
last last chance to get the green jacket. So, yeah,
it's gonna be a great weekend with this point.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Yeah, it should be any any issues at the weather.
Speaker 6 (17:56):
No, So there was a little weather warning sign that
popped up earlier because there were storms in the area,
but there shouldn't be anything. Sunny skies, beautiful weekend set
to uh set to take place, so it sets up
pretty well. Looks like Bryson will probably be in that
last group with Justin Rose, with Rory gonna be in
the second to last pairing going out tomorrow. Extended TV coverage, Doug.
(18:19):
For those that have Paramount Plus, they're gonna be starting
two hours earlier on the streaming service of coverage and
then they'll switch over to CBS both Saturday and Sunday.
So yeah, it should should be a great weekend with
whether or not being an issue. Shouldn't be super hot,
it's not gonna be cold, no rain. It gonna be
(18:40):
a good one, Doug. I'm excited.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Should be a good one.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Well, listen, enjoy the couple days off. I know we'll
hear you on Sunday.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
You do work on Sunday, right, so you get to yes,
get to be on the radio during during Masters, I.
Speaker 6 (18:51):
Will be broadcasting live from Buyer Cabin Cabin Sunday.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Great interviews with Byer Cabin.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
There just it really you get a sense of what
the mass are really like when you spend some time
in buy your cabin.
Speaker 6 (19:03):
I'm gonna go chop some wood, get it ready for
the fireplace for this weekend, and enjoy the golf.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Definitely, enjoy your family, enjoy the golf. Thanks so much, Dan,
Thanks Doug, Dan Buyer from Buyer Cabin. A tradition unlike
any other. You guys do know that a golf termament
is like the world's worst thing to go and see right,
(19:31):
like it's beautiful, but yeah, it's like chasing a moving target.
You either walk around and walk with guys that you
think are good are going to be good, and again
you have no control of whether they are good or
not good, or you then PLoP yourself down at one
hole and then you see how every player plays that
(19:53):
one hole and yeah, I know there's some movement in between.
And once you get to be an expert or whatever,
but you're going to the Masters, you know, you finally
get one of those Master's badges and then you got
to make that decision. What do I do now, Jase
dou have you ever been to a golf tournament?
Speaker 4 (20:14):
Yeah, many times, and then what do you do.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
It falls in the category of I like, if I'm
in good company and I have a beer in my hand,
I could enjoy anything, and you get some exercise, you
get some son.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
So the actual, the actual golf.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
I don't know enough about golf to be impressed with
golf or whatever, but I do like the experience.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
You know.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Yeah, my issue with watching golf is I play golf.
I know a little golf, not a lot. But for
whatever reason, golfer guy has a tendency to kind of
over share their golf opinion or narrate the golf when
you're sitting there and watching it. My buddy Scott is
having people over this afternoon, just redid his house. He
(21:03):
lives on a lake, right, He's like, come over, let's
watch the Masters. And the problem is like they're really
really golfers, Like what is he in a seven?
Speaker 2 (21:11):
From there?
Speaker 1 (21:11):
No way he's hitting a seven. It's just like a
conversation that I can like is that good? Is that bad?
Is that risky? Is that cool? You know, oh he's
sitting in a seven? Or you just pretend like you
know what they're talking about. Oh he's hitting a seven.
From there, he's hitting a seven from there.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
You know a person, I'd go with a four wood.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
Yes, I would go with the four mix.
Speaker 4 (21:31):
I'd mix up the lingo and like say, like a
four wood or something weird. That's doesn't make sense in.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Many In many ways, it does go back to what
we've talked about with hockey guy and WNBA girl whatever,
where we don't really know what you're you're about your sport,
and then when we do pay attention to it, we
seem to get chastised for not knowing about your sport
even though we're trying to learn about it.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
I don't know, I just feel like golf guy.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Oh, golf guy also has a tendency to relay it
to their own personal course, or maybe they want a
humble brag that they played Augusta once. You know, and
I played Augusta. Yeah great, you knew somebody. You got
on the course, you spent a bajillion dollars and it
was not tricked out like it is for the Masters.
But by all means share with me your thoughts on
the same golf course, albeit with a completely different golfer.
(22:20):
Sorry if I'm ranting and raving, but I just My
thing with golf is like for Dan, he does a
great job of being very normal and but a lot
of times why I wouldn't want to go to a
golf tournament as you're sitting there and there's a bunch
of guys and they're just like saying things that I
don't know what they're talking about.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Can you believe he's using a seven there?
Speaker 4 (22:41):
I'd just be there to socialize quietly.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Albeit how do you socialize?
Speaker 4 (22:45):
I don't know. I mean he's moving around, everyone's moving around.
But you're in a big cluster of people, and like
Jason said, you're out amongst the trees, the beautiful landscaping.
I got a beer. I was wandering around, getting progressively
more intoxicated. It sounds like a wonderful afternoon to me,
just out in though, as long as it's not too
muggy down there in AUGUSTA.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
No, it's not muggy now it's April.
Speaker 4 (23:05):
Dan says it can get muggy. He did say that
it can be days where it's quite humid, even in April.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
But hey, it's warm. That stuff looks good right now.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
April humidity feels good, especial if you come out of
the cold. You're like, man, I heat me up. I landed,
I did I recruit. I was recruiting a kid in
South Carolina last week before we went to the final four,
and I was like, this feels amazing.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
This feels amazing.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
That's why I like the winter's out here in California.
The summer is a little too hot, a little too hot,
but the winter out here it's like sixties, fifties, seventies.
It's great.

the press, the press. What do you got?
Speaker 5 (25:39):
All right, coach, We're gonna start with NFL news today.
The Browns and quarterback Joe Flacco a little reunion. They've
agreed on a one year, four million dollar deal. It
can be worth up to thirteen million with incentives. Reunion,
you know, he was in Cleveland one Comeback Player of
the Year in twenty twenty three. So now the Browns
(26:02):
have three quarterbacks on their roster Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett,
Deshaun Watson.
Speaker 7 (26:08):
They also have.
Speaker 5 (26:10):
The number two pick in the upcoming draft, so obviously
signing Joe Flacco kind of indicates maybe that they're not
going to take a quarterback with the number two overall pick.
Maybe Travis Hunter is going to be a Cleveland Brown.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Uh maybe.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
I mean, like, look, Placo is he's basically like a
quarterback coach who can't play quarterback. Yeah, I mean, he's
a in case everything goes wrong, he's fine, Right, That's.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Really what it is. So I don't think we'll go ahead.
Speaker 5 (26:50):
I'm sorry, no, no, just you do think there's a there's
a chance still that they may get a fourth quarterback.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
I don't think it's likely, but again, I do feel
like that they are in the let's pass. None of
these guys fit what we need, so the variety, Yeah,
don't don't reach for a need. But again we've been
told that the Giants, Hey, don't rule them out. Where
is a seria where they take one? Is a seia
(27:18):
where they trade out of that pick.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
As well, you know, yeah, sure, so we.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Don't know what happens, but yes, it does seem to
be trending the way you're.
Speaker 5 (27:24):
Talking about it seems that way, and it seems I mean,
I'm sure they're going to decide, but like Joe Flacco
is QB.
Speaker 4 (27:30):
One right now?
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Yeah, so again that's not QB one money, right, No,
I don't. That's where it does leave you. Maybe they
do draft a guy, or maybe there's another trade to
be made.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Who knows, who knows?
Speaker 5 (27:42):
Yeah, yeah, it's just it's interesting because they have the
two the second overall picks. It's just interesting.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
I'm just going to say this, according to our lads,
which I've always thought was a curious name. Our lads,
Joe Flacco is QB one. Can you pick at QB two,
Deshaun Watson QUB three.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
Well, Deshaun Watson's not gonna play guys. He tours Achilles
again second time. Yeah, so like you're acting like he's
got me on the active roster.
Speaker 5 (28:10):
He's just making lots of money to just sit there.
Must be nice. Yeah, all right, interesting and the draft
less than two weeks, so we'll see what happens. Two
games left in the regular season of the NBA coach
and the Western Conference is a mess, So many things
can happen in these last two games. Oklahoma City they're
(28:32):
the number one seed, they've clinched it. The Rockets they
are the number two seed. But the Lakers right now
are in the third seed.
Speaker 7 (28:40):
They could keep that.
Speaker 5 (28:42):
They just need to win one more game against Houston
and against Portland. Things looking good for them, that's true.
Nuggets right now are fourth. They could go up to
the third seed. They would have to win their next
two games against Memphis and Houston gets messier. Clippers who
(29:02):
also have the same record as the Nuggets forty eight
and thirty two, and Warriors are right after them forty
seven and thirty three. So the Clippers have two games
left against the Warriors that doesn't help us, and against
Sacramento we could clinch a top seed sixth seed if
we win both games. That's just gonna be tough, and
maybe even get the third seed if the Lakers happen
(29:24):
to lose. But it's so messy. Warriors still have to
play the Clippers, and they.
Speaker 4 (29:29):
Also have to play Portland.
Speaker 5 (29:31):
The highest possible seed for the Warriors would be to
get the four seed. Lowest possible they could still end
up as the eighth seed with these last two games.
Right now, Grizzlies are in seventh place in the Western Conference.
They don't control their own destiny. They still have to
play though Dallas and Denver. Their highest possible finish is
the four seed. Lowest possible finish is the eighth seed.
(29:54):
And then there's the Timberwolves, who right now are in
the eighth seed. They need to play against Utah and
Brooklyn kind of easy. They can actually still end as
the fourth seed, possibly end as the eighth seed if
they don't win these games and everybody else wins, and
then the Kings are in ninth place and the Dallas
Maverickstar in tenth place.
Speaker 4 (30:15):
It is so messy.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
It is two games left, Well, it get clean up.
Let's you have the play in tournament.
Speaker 5 (30:22):
You do have the play in tournament, but you know
they're seating here. So it's like, I've never been play
to lose because you think you're gonna get a better,
you know, opponent in the playoffs. Like I hate that mentality,
especially you know when it's so messy like this all
as a Clippers fan, I don't want to see the
Denver Nuggets in the first round. That's the one where
(30:45):
I think, and I also just maybe I just think
the Nuggets can can get far. I just think Nikola
jokicch is great, and I think like he can literally
do whatever he wants, and I just I don't. I
just don't want to see them in the first round.
Give me someone else, give me the Lake. I'd rather
see the Lakers in the first round. Coach, as a
Clippers fan, you would, I really would?
Speaker 4 (31:08):
I really?
Speaker 5 (31:08):
I think Zubots I think Zubots has a better matchup
against LA than against you know, the Nuggets.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Okay, yeah, I would love to see the battle of
La in the in the first round.
Speaker 5 (31:19):
I read too, it would be It would be fun
and for the first time that the Lakers actually have
to travel somewhere when they play the Clippers, not just
go down the hall. Yeah, that would that would be nice.
So we'll see what happens. Two games to go a
regular season. The East is pretty much set, which is
why we're not diving into it. But we'll see what
happens with these last two games. We'll move on to
(31:39):
the w NBA who is trying to follow in what
the NBA has done the last three years having a
Rivals Week. That's what they're gonna do this year. The
inaugural Rivals Week will start in August, and it's obviously
going to start with Caitlin Clark the Fever taking on
Angel Reese and the Chicago sky me literally squeezing all
(32:02):
of the juice out of this rivalry quote unquote between
Clark and Angel Reese that they can give the people
what they want. Other games that are gonna happen that
you know, could be good matchups in the.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
W Obody cares about other games, Moncey, Well.
Speaker 5 (32:20):
No.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
Body cares about any other games unless Caitlin Clark is
in them.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
Yeah, yeah, what else do you got?
Speaker 5 (32:36):
Okay, no, no, let me ttoush. I was gonna say,
you're not wrong, but the people that are fans all read.
Speaker 4 (32:44):
The show.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
Next press topic.
Speaker 5 (32:50):
All right, fine, we move on since that's the only
thing that is important to you on that one. Uh
let's you know, you talked about it a little bit
already earlier on the show. But I feel like this
whole Tennessee quarterback Nico Iva literally a sitout holding.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
That's a joke.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
It say you sign a contract, that's your contract. Get
your ass to practice. This is what drives everybody crazy
is you have athletes, they have agents.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
They want to act like their professionals.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
Okay, then they sign a contract, they agree, and then
they hear somebody else got something more, so they go, oh,
he got some more. That's not how a contract works.
You sign a contract, oral agreement, written agreement.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
It's written. Okay, get the practice otherwise we doccupay.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Like again, we continue to create some fictional environment where
somebody can sign a crash agree to it, right. You
allow all these other quarterbacks to go elsewhere, and then
he's like, yeah, you know this guy over down the
street got more money than me, so I want more. No,
it's not how anybody's job works. Once do you agree,
Once you signed the line that's dotted until the term
(34:04):
is up. That's how much you're getting. That's how you're getting.
That's what my Gundhi said last year. Don't have your
agent's call.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
We're done. This is where we are.
Speaker 5 (34:13):
I could not agree with you more. You're twenty years old,
you're making two more than two million, and apparently you
want four million. I don't follow Tennessee like closely. Is
he a good quarter? Like should he be askering?
Speaker 2 (34:24):
He started as a freshman last year, he started as
a freshman.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
What he's what what he's being told is, hey, going
rate has gone up, so you're undervalued, to go get
your value. Like that's not that's not how it works.
Once you signed that, once you signed the contract.
Speaker 5 (34:38):
Absolutely Also yeah, no, just no sympathy, right like I can't,
I don't, I don't get it at all, And I
just feel like it's a bad it's gonna said a
bad precedent. But this is the beginning of what's gonna
happen because of nil.
Speaker 4 (34:49):
Looks a lot like NFL training camps. The guy's holding out.
Speaker 5 (34:52):
Yeah, and again, but these are that's now, that's even
more of a blurred line between college and the NFL
because the money that's been you know, given to these
student athletes.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
Well, the issue, the issue, and we talked about a
lot the final four last year, is that the feeling
is collective bargaining is something that can navigate, that can
change this, and there is a way to collective bargain
without making them employees.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
When they're employees.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
It offered it changes all of the tax situation around
everything in college athletics, as well as a litany of
other issues. That's why they're trying to keep them away
from being employees. But again, once you sign any sort
of contract, employment or otherwise, that's it.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
That's supposed to be it. Yeah to me, and his
money paid.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
That man his money as long as he getting paid
his money, and if he didn't show up, they didn't
get his money.
Speaker 5 (35:46):
Unreal. And that's the press.
Speaker 2 (35:49):
That get out there impressed.
Speaker 7 (35:51):
That was the press.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
And by the way, I'm sure there'll be somebody tweeting
me out like I here's a coach. You'll like, I'm
just saying what everybody thinks.
Speaker 2 (35:59):
Stop it.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
Nobody thinks that's that's good business to like, you agree
to terms and then you're like, oh wait, he got
how much?
Speaker 2 (36:05):
Yeah I want more?
Speaker 1 (36:06):
Doesn't work that way. Now, next time you get a
chance to renegotiate. If the term ends at the end
of the season, then by all means, renegotiate where you want,
hold out eever you want. But once that contract is signed,
you're in.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
You're in. You know. The thing about Augusta is it's it's.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
Got a little Rose Bowl to it, but not really right.
I've always said that how many people have turned down
the Rose Bowl in January first, like Margaret, you know,
packed the Winnebago, We're moving to California. Augusta is beautiful,
but I don't think it makes people want to move
to Augusta, Georgia. I do think it makes golfers want
to golf, and it does. Like man, and I can
(36:50):
tell you now, when you're living in the northern part
of the Midwest and things are just now starting to
green up, You're like, that doesn't even look like the
same planet that I live on. There's no flowers in
bloom here yet. It doesn't even like now, in two
three weeks it'll look just like that. But well, Lison,
(37:11):
enjoy the Masters this weekend and the music, and then
of course you have the last weekend of the NBA,
where as Montseed laid out for you, it's a mess.
I don't know who's gonna be what Seed or whatever.

It's the way that tire buying should be. Do doo
b b b b b ba. It usually takes a
couple of days. And that's what happened here. Where you
(00:49):
see a story and you're like, man, how did that
go down? And then you know the postsportem you get
somebody who goes back and gets the details to why
something that at the time seems so crazy actually happened.
There's a writer named Bridgid Kennedy I have not heard of.
(01:09):
I will say that Bridget did a good job, but
really what is Bridget?
Speaker 2 (01:15):
We think? Said woman.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
I'm not trying to be offensive. I don't know, but
I would guess it's not Bridget, it's Bridgid. Anyway, what
the writer did was basically compile quotes and the story
from all these other stories about what led to Mike
Malone's dismissal as head coach, Like less than two weeks
(01:39):
before the playoffs. This was from Tim McMahon and Ramona
Shelbourn at ESPN. Everybody in the organization was miserable. That's
what Josh Conki felt is a bad vibe. He can't
operate like that. He felt like if you remove those
two people, everyone could just focus on doing their job,
and the change was needed. Kronky won a clean house
(02:03):
at All Star Break, but in an eight game winning
streak he decided not to. There were certain trends that
were very worse worrisome, Kronky said in house meeting earlier
this week. At a certain point in time, they would
get masked by a few wins here or there, and
the world of professional sports were winning and losing is
your currency. Winning can mask a lot.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Very true.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
So what and Bridget is a young woman, but really
it's I don't Jason, would you call it like aggregated
two point zero. Right, it's not just purely aggregation, but
it's where you aggregate a bunch of different stories and
then print out quotes within it from those stories come
(02:49):
compiled together. How would you Is that just all aggregation
or is that like an aggregation advanced sort of thing.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
No.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
I think it sounds like the very definition of aggregation.
Take from a multiple sources, put it into one story,
make it your own. It helps radio producers, really does.
Because I could have read Ramona Shelburne's piece tonight today,
but I didn't have twenty thousand words to read in
(03:17):
my prep today. So I like when they aggregate, make
it easy for me take all the high level stuff.
This like the Don Draper of sports writing.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Well, last year they fire Frank Ogel, And when you
have a guy for one year and then you fire him,
you basically lay all the blame at his feet in
Phoenix and now in Phoenix is bad again.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
You're like, well, maybe it's not Frank Vogel for Denver.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
I think it's a lot of questions as to timing
and as I've been told, and some of this that
is in these articles is that Memphis firing their coach,
you know, like a week and a half before gave
them the oh we can fire our coach now, we'll
do this now as well. It is a copycat league
and people trying to spark energy, spark intentionality right before
(04:09):
the playoffs. This is not a new idea. This is
simply the way that the Nuggets are doing. But the
everybody is miserable is yeah, that's when it's time to go.
That's the time to go. You just can't just not
a place that people want to work. And not that
it matters the ancillary staff if they're miserable, but at
(04:31):
some point it does creep in there and then you
gotta wonder. You know, there were some reports that among
the kind of protected class with the players, Russell Westbrook
was among that protected class, and you're like, why would
Russell Westbrook still be protected class? He's not good enough
for that, And it's an interesting one. Right wherever he's gone,
(04:54):
it hasn't been great. I think it ended off in
pretty good, in a pretty good place with the Clippers,
but it wasn't great for the most part. The Lakers
were an abject disaster. You know, he's been bouncing team
to team to team and none of them have been
left feeling great vibes. It's one of those buyer beware
for you're the Nuggets. You look at the production, you
know who he is. You look at him coming off
(05:15):
the bench, and and the attitude he plays with and
the fact he's unselfish, and you assume, hey, this one's great,
when it doesn't feel like at this point in time,
he's a positive. He's a net positive for your team
wins and loses an overall vibe wise, he's a net negative.
(05:36):
He's a net negative. But you know, like the more
the stories come out, the more you sit there and
go like, yeah, why did they do this sooner? Like, well,
they were winning before. There's an expression that was given
to me by Dick Bennett, who's a legendary coach here
at Green Bay, and he told us very early on,
(05:58):
don't accept in winning, which you wouldn't accept in losing.
And it's really hard, right, like two guys aren't getting along.
You know, you got to make a change. Well, we
won eight games a road at the All Star break,
not going to make a change now. Nope, don't accept
winning what you wouldn't accept in losing. Don't accept in winning,
(06:18):
So Hey, I want to give a space for a
time for a Master's update. I think I'm kind of
jealous of buyer Jase two, like he has a thing
that he like sets his whole year. I take days
off and I watch and I just don't have that.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Right. Here's here's an honest question, Jason.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
If you were at home and that music came on
and you're watching golf, how many holes could you make
it before you fall asleep?
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Yeah, it's pretty Uh, I don't know, maybe two or three?
Speaker 2 (07:00):
What about you, Sammy?
Speaker 4 (07:02):
How many holes can I watch before falling asleep?
Speaker 5 (07:04):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (07:04):
Huh uh yeah? Maybe I almost five to nine.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
I feel like the Masters, especially with the music and
with the ambient sound. I feel like it's as close
to reading a novel as anything. And when I say
reading a novel, people are like, what do you read anymore? No,
because once I get to like the third page, I'm asleep.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
So you don't need melatonin anymore. You need a book.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
I've never need a melotonin. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
I thought you a bit of a I thought you
had you were a bit of a finicky sleeper at times. No,
you have trouble getting You do have trouble getting a sleep. No, okay,
that's good.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Stay staying occasionally, you know, I'll be up at four.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
We get that book out then.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
But falling asleep, yeah, I guess, or or the Masters.
Speaker 6 (07:45):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
It is very zen in a very golf zen way.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Yeah, but I mean do we really? Are you really
as fired up about? Like I'm not criticizing Dan, Dan
this is he loves it.
Speaker 4 (07:59):
You could hear the joyin his voice yesterday. Yeah, like
you could hear bliss. He's just as I said he
to Jason. He was a pig and slop just rolling around.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Just I don't have a sport or something I watch
on TV that brings me.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
That much joy.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
Really, even basketball, No, No, I love.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
I love coaching basketball, playing basketball, watching basketball, But no
I don't. There's not like, no, I don't geek out
over watching a basketball event.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
No, Gusta Georgia is a little more aesthetically pleasing than
a basketball court. A little flowers.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
You watch you watch your mouth there, Sonny, you watch
your mouth there.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
I mean, if you show me the you show me
the Hoosiers court, then I might change my mind. That's
a nostalgic trip.

Speaker 1 (09:00):
Got leap show here on Fox Sworts Radio. Ah, watching
somebody's ball roll into the water. That looks familier, that
looks familiar. St Bernhart Longer and we want to talk
about Bernhard Longer. Then he just want to hit one
of the drink. So we're gonna go to dan Byer
(09:20):
shortly he's he's at home.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
This is what he does. If you're just joining us.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Dany is not like our our most avid golfer and
golf fan, but he loves this event. And so he
takes to the first two days off of work, sits
his house, puts it on, a bunch of TVs, does stuff,
does tuas work whatever, takes care of Brody, and watches
the Masters, and like Bustman's holiday, he will hop on
with us and tell us what's going on. Kind of cool.
(09:47):
We're efforting to get him red efforting to get him Obviously,
he's very concerned with Bernhard Longer's lie. Now that he's
gonna have to drop brought Roy McElroy's had a very
good second day, so was Bryson Shambeau and Scottie Scheffler.
Justin Rose still remains atop of the field. We're getting
all that with Dan Byer upcoming here on the Doug
(10:07):
Gottlieb Show on Fox Sports Radio. Stug Gottlieb Show here
on Fox Sports Trade. Let's welcome in our good friend
Dan Byer. Who's uh, you've heard of Butler's Cabin? Have
you heard of Buyer's Cabin? It broadcasting night for buyers.
Speaker 6 (10:23):
A nice at Buyer's Cabin?
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Is it?
Speaker 6 (10:29):
Is that your mug or my mug? Doug? Is that?
I think that's mine?
Speaker 1 (10:34):
It's yours. It's delicious, it's the vodka the Senate. I'm
watching Freddy Couples kind of hang around here. Is he's
one over now?
Speaker 2 (10:44):
It seems like he's he's fading a little bit.
Speaker 6 (10:47):
I'd love for Freddy Couples to be the story. And
he was a little bit yesterday with his with his
chip ends. But Freddy Couples isn't even the oldest guy
in his sixties to be the story right now. I mean,
Freddy's at sixty five, ye, Bernard Longer's sixty seven, turns
(11:09):
sixty eight this summer, announced he's going to be playing
in his last Masters this week, this could be his
final round, and he right now is hovering around the
cut line. I only say that because he just put
it in the water on fifteen, but he was even
pared through fourteen holes today and the cut line is
(11:30):
sitting there at plus two. So even if Bernhard is
able to get up and down for a bogie, he's
still on the right side of the cut line. And
for a guy that's sixty seven years old, closer to
sixty eight than he is sixty six, I mean, cheez crazy,
considering just the state of the game, the state of
(11:50):
this course. He hits it like two thirty. He set
off the tee, So I mean he's it's crazy of
what Bernhard Long is doing, but he's going to battle
to make the cut. But he and Freddy have been
a good story, and when I think's been a really
good Master so far.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Okay, let's talk about Rory's comeback. I'm looking at him
atop leaderboard.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
What happened.
Speaker 6 (12:11):
What happened yesterday was basically a couple of bad shots.
The chip on fifteen was the killer, but otherwise, if
you look at what he did for a majority of
his whole round, he was really really solid. So to
leave at even par, I think a lot of us
thought Rory's going to be dejected, He's not going to
be able to bounce back from this, considering Justin Rose
(12:35):
was sitting there in the lead at seven unders, so
you're seven shots back of the lead. And then he
comes out today and doesn't make any of the mistakes
that he made on fifteen seventeen yesterday, and today plays
flawless golf, shoots six under sixty six and is now
in the thick of things. And I think that you
could argue that he is playing the best golf of
(12:57):
anybody in this field right now, including the leader leader
Justin Rose, and including Bryson de Shambeau's supperers sandwiched in
between Rose and Rory. It truly was two bad shots
for Rory McElroy yesterday that just put him behind the
eight ball, and I think a lot of us just
felt maybe Rory's got the fragile mind. He's been working with,
(13:20):
you know, this famed sports psychologist Bob Rotella, and it
apparently really helped Rory because he was he was spot
on today, not a blemish on the scorecard, and now
absolutely in the thick of.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Things Steut Gottlieb show here on Fox Sports Trader, that's
the voice of our good friend Dan Byer, who is
our who's our resident everything when it comes to the Masters,
I'm looking at the leader board. Bryson's at seven under,
seven under sixty eight in the clubhouse.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
How's he played.
Speaker 6 (13:54):
It's played very well. And this is this is the
scary part of it for Rory. It could be deja
vous all over again from the US Open that happened
at Pinehurst, where Bryson was able to was able to
best Rory and had that great shot out of the
sand on the seventy second hole and made his pot,
something that Rory wasn't able to do at Pinehurst last summer.
(14:18):
And it's this is where the live PGA Tour stuff
really kind of really comes into focus, Doug, because yeah,
it's gonna be awesome if these two are battling down
the stretch again. But this is what we're missing then
throughout the rest of the season is then Deshamba goes
his way, Rory goes his way. They reconvene at the
(14:39):
PGA then they separate again, and then they come back
at the US Open. This could be a rivalry that
we see. I mean, Bryson's been in contention maybe should
have won the PGA last year when Xander Schaffley ended
up winning the first of his two majors. But so
Bryson bounced back from that almost win at the PGA
and won the UN Open, and you would have this
(15:02):
rivalry with he and Rory going head to head. I
would expect many of people in looking at the weekend
to say, it's either going to be Bryson. It's either
going to be Rory, or it's going to be Scotty Scheffler,
who is still in the thick of things. But this
is the part that stinks about the Live split. And
I do think that Bryson stays motivated. I'm not sure
(15:24):
like John Ram has gone the other way with his
game and in signing Live, and a lot of people
have talked about how Rom's kind of fallen off the
map when he was world number one at one point,
where Live hasn't been good for him. I do think
that it's been good for Bryson in the way where
he's able to do other things he still stays competitive,
but he does his YouTube stuff, does his social media stuff,
(15:46):
can tinker as much as he wants, and he's completely
revamped his image. But he's been he's been a story
in golf in the last year or so because of
what he's done in these majors, and you have to
consider him a threat at Augusta as a legit, legit guy,
considering your one shot off the lead. He only had
one blemish on his score card today, Bogiet sixteen. Otherwise
(16:08):
it's just been pretty darn near solid golf for Bryson
to Shamba the whole way.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
All right, sets up for a great weekend, right, I
mean you have big names atop, I mean Justin Rose,
Bryceon to Shambeau and uh and Rory McRoy, Roy Macrofler, Scotti,
Scheffler atop that this is kind of dream scenario a
little bit going into the weekend.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (16:33):
Yeah, this is also a secret of the Masters.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Yeah, there's no secret.
Speaker 6 (16:37):
There's no no names, correct, There's it's a limited field
where a US Open you're gonna have one hundred and
fifty six guys in it. This year they had ninety
five players in the Masters, and they felt that it
was a larger field than other years. Some years they've
been in the high eighties. And when you consider when
you consider Fred Gubbles and Bernard Longer, who we talked
(16:59):
about off the top, realistically, those guys aren't in contention.
There's usually a handful of amateurs now and again Sam
Bennett a couple of years ago contended, but the amateurs
aren't necessarily contending. Sure, so when you look at the field,
maybe there's sixty guys that have a chance, maybe like
two thirds of the field. And this allows like the
(17:19):
stars and the cream to rise to the top. It's
a sneaky way of doing it that I don't think
a lot of people realize. But it always provides great
drama and Masters and Augusta National could do whatever they want,
and it provides just great theater. And this is one
of it. Look at all the names. Heck, Justin Rose
(17:40):
is gonna be a great story in his mid forties.
He's gonna have all of the old guys like you
and me maybe pulling for him to get that one
last last chance to get the green jacket. So, yeah,
it's gonna be a great weekend with this point.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Yeah, it should be any any issues at the weather.
Speaker 6 (17:56):
No, So there was a little weather warning sign that
popped up earlier because there were storms in the area,
but there shouldn't be anything. Sunny skies, beautiful weekend set
to uh set to take place, so it sets up
pretty well. Looks like Bryson will probably be in that
last group with Justin Rose, with Rory gonna be in
the second to last pairing going out tomorrow. Extended TV coverage, Doug.
(18:19):
For those that have Paramount Plus, they're gonna be starting
two hours earlier on the streaming service of coverage and
then they'll switch over to CBS both Saturday and Sunday.
So yeah, it should should be a great weekend with
whether or not being an issue. Shouldn't be super hot,
it's not gonna be cold, no rain. It gonna be
(18:40):
a good one, Doug. I'm excited.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Should be a good one.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Well, listen, enjoy the couple days off. I know we'll
hear you on Sunday.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
You do work on Sunday, right, so you get to yes,
get to be on the radio during during Masters, I.
Speaker 6 (18:51):
Will be broadcasting live from Buyer Cabin Cabin Sunday.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Great interviews with Byer Cabin.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
There just it really you get a sense of what
the mass are really like when you spend some time
in buy your cabin.
Speaker 6 (19:03):
I'm gonna go chop some wood, get it ready for
the fireplace for this weekend, and enjoy the golf.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Definitely, enjoy your family, enjoy the golf. Thanks so much, Dan,
Thanks Doug, Dan Buyer from Buyer Cabin. A tradition unlike
any other. You guys do know that a golf termament
is like the world's worst thing to go and see right,
(19:31):
like it's beautiful, but yeah, it's like chasing a moving target.
You either walk around and walk with guys that you
think are good are going to be good, and again
you have no control of whether they are good or
not good, or you then PLoP yourself down at one
hole and then you see how every player plays that
(19:53):
one hole and yeah, I know there's some movement in between.
And once you get to be an expert or whatever,
but you're going to the Masters, you know, you finally
get one of those Master's badges and then you got
to make that decision. What do I do now, Jase
dou have you ever been to a golf tournament?
Speaker 4 (20:14):
Yeah, many times, and then what do you do.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
It falls in the category of I like, if I'm
in good company and I have a beer in my hand,
I could enjoy anything, and you get some exercise, you
get some son.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
So the actual, the actual golf.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
I don't know enough about golf to be impressed with
golf or whatever, but I do like the experience.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
You know.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Yeah, my issue with watching golf is I play golf.
I know a little golf, not a lot. But for
whatever reason, golfer guy has a tendency to kind of
over share their golf opinion or narrate the golf when
you're sitting there and watching it. My buddy Scott is
having people over this afternoon, just redid his house. He
(21:03):
lives on a lake, right, He's like, come over, let's
watch the Masters. And the problem is like they're really
really golfers, Like what is he in a seven?
Speaker 2 (21:11):
From there?
Speaker 1 (21:11):
No way he's hitting a seven. It's just like a
conversation that I can like is that good? Is that bad?
Is that risky? Is that cool? You know, oh he's
sitting in a seven? Or you just pretend like you
know what they're talking about. Oh he's hitting a seven.
From there, he's hitting a seven from there.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
You know a person, I'd go with a four wood.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
Yes, I would go with the four mix.
Speaker 4 (21:31):
I'd mix up the lingo and like say, like a
four wood or something weird. That's doesn't make sense in.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Many In many ways, it does go back to what
we've talked about with hockey guy and WNBA girl whatever,
where we don't really know what you're you're about your sport,
and then when we do pay attention to it, we
seem to get chastised for not knowing about your sport
even though we're trying to learn about it.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
I don't know, I just feel like golf guy.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Oh, golf guy also has a tendency to relay it
to their own personal course, or maybe they want a
humble brag that they played Augusta once. You know, and
I played Augusta. Yeah great, you knew somebody. You got
on the course, you spent a bajillion dollars and it
was not tricked out like it is for the Masters.
But by all means share with me your thoughts on
the same golf course, albeit with a completely different golfer.
(22:20):
Sorry if I'm ranting and raving, but I just My
thing with golf is like for Dan, he does a
great job of being very normal and but a lot
of times why I wouldn't want to go to a
golf tournament as you're sitting there and there's a bunch
of guys and they're just like saying things that I
don't know what they're talking about.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Can you believe he's using a seven there?
Speaker 4 (22:41):
I'd just be there to socialize quietly.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Albeit how do you socialize?
Speaker 4 (22:45):
I don't know. I mean he's moving around, everyone's moving around.
But you're in a big cluster of people, and like
Jason said, you're out amongst the trees, the beautiful landscaping.
I got a beer. I was wandering around, getting progressively
more intoxicated. It sounds like a wonderful afternoon to me,
just out in though, as long as it's not too
muggy down there in AUGUSTA.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
No, it's not muggy now it's April.
Speaker 4 (23:05):
Dan says it can get muggy. He did say that
it can be days where it's quite humid, even in April.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
But hey, it's warm. That stuff looks good right now.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
April humidity feels good, especial if you come out of
the cold. You're like, man, I heat me up. I landed,
I did I recruit. I was recruiting a kid in
South Carolina last week before we went to the final four,
and I was like, this feels amazing.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
This feels amazing.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
That's why I like the winter's out here in California.
The summer is a little too hot, a little too hot,
but the winter out here it's like sixties, fifties, seventies.
It's great.

(24:10):
This is the DG Show live two places Fox Sports
Radio in Sherban Oak California and Green Bay, Wisconsin. Should
point out that draft week we still got. It's two
weeks from today. The NFL Draft will take place here,
whether it is warming up, warming up? What's that like?
What's that mean for Green Bay? Right now? Green Bay
(24:30):
right now outside is fifty five degrees and it's like
thirty one at night. I believe that week it's supposed
to be in the sixties and forties at night, which is, look,
is it warm?
Speaker 6 (24:49):
No?
Speaker 1 (24:51):
But will it feel warm? It'll feel great at night.
It'll be wear a jacket. I bring this up because
we'll be broadcasting live all a week long from two places,
the Legacy Hotel and the Bar at Holmgren. And there
is there are so many people coming to town. We'll
(25:11):
have an unbelievable, unbelievable amount of guests, and the podcast
to be all loaded up as well. So that is
there's one week essentially in between now and draft week.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
Can't wait, can't wait. Let's get the Montster blagnas in
the press, the press. What do you got?
Speaker 5 (25:39):
All right, coach, We're gonna start with NFL news today.
The Browns and quarterback Joe Flacco a little reunion. They've
agreed on a one year, four million dollar deal. It
can be worth up to thirteen million with incentives. Reunion,
you know, he was in Cleveland one Comeback Player of
the Year in twenty twenty three. So now the Browns
(26:02):
have three quarterbacks on their roster Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett,
Deshaun Watson.
Speaker 7 (26:08):
They also have.
Speaker 5 (26:10):
The number two pick in the upcoming draft, so obviously
signing Joe Flacco kind of indicates maybe that they're not
going to take a quarterback with the number two overall pick.
Maybe Travis Hunter is going to be a Cleveland Brown.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Uh maybe.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
I mean, like, look, Placo is he's basically like a
quarterback coach who can't play quarterback. Yeah, I mean, he's
a in case everything goes wrong, he's fine, Right, That's.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Really what it is. So I don't think we'll go ahead.
Speaker 5 (26:50):
I'm sorry, no, no, just you do think there's a there's
a chance still that they may get a fourth quarterback.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
I don't think it's likely, but again, I do feel
like that they are in the let's pass. None of
these guys fit what we need, so the variety, Yeah,
don't don't reach for a need. But again we've been
told that the Giants, Hey, don't rule them out. Where
is a seria where they take one? Is a seia
(27:18):
where they trade out of that pick.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
As well, you know, yeah, sure, so we.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Don't know what happens, but yes, it does seem to
be trending the way you're.
Speaker 5 (27:24):
Talking about it seems that way, and it seems I mean,
I'm sure they're going to decide, but like Joe Flacco
is QB.
Speaker 4 (27:30):
One right now?
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Yeah, so again that's not QB one money, right, No,
I don't. That's where it does leave you. Maybe they
do draft a guy, or maybe there's another trade to
be made.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Who knows, who knows?
Speaker 5 (27:42):
Yeah, yeah, it's just it's interesting because they have the
two the second overall picks. It's just interesting.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
I'm just going to say this, according to our lads,
which I've always thought was a curious name. Our lads,
Joe Flacco is QB one. Can you pick at QB two,
Deshaun Watson QUB three.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
Well, Deshaun Watson's not gonna play guys. He tours Achilles
again second time. Yeah, so like you're acting like he's
got me on the active roster.
Speaker 5 (28:10):
He's just making lots of money to just sit there.
Must be nice. Yeah, all right, interesting and the draft
less than two weeks, so we'll see what happens. Two
games left in the regular season of the NBA coach
and the Western Conference is a mess, So many things
can happen in these last two games. Oklahoma City they're
(28:32):
the number one seed, they've clinched it. The Rockets they
are the number two seed. But the Lakers right now
are in the third seed.
Speaker 7 (28:40):
They could keep that.
Speaker 5 (28:42):
They just need to win one more game against Houston
and against Portland. Things looking good for them, that's true.
Nuggets right now are fourth. They could go up to
the third seed. They would have to win their next
two games against Memphis and Houston gets messier. Clippers who
(29:02):
also have the same record as the Nuggets forty eight
and thirty two, and Warriors are right after them forty
seven and thirty three. So the Clippers have two games
left against the Warriors that doesn't help us, and against
Sacramento we could clinch a top seed sixth seed if
we win both games. That's just gonna be tough, and
maybe even get the third seed if the Lakers happen
(29:24):
to lose. But it's so messy. Warriors still have to
play the Clippers, and they.
Speaker 4 (29:29):
Also have to play Portland.
Speaker 5 (29:31):
The highest possible seed for the Warriors would be to
get the four seed. Lowest possible they could still end
up as the eighth seed with these last two games.
Right now, Grizzlies are in seventh place in the Western Conference.
They don't control their own destiny. They still have to
play though Dallas and Denver. Their highest possible finish is
the four seed. Lowest possible finish is the eighth seed.
(29:54):
And then there's the Timberwolves, who right now are in
the eighth seed. They need to play against Utah and
Brooklyn kind of easy. They can actually still end as
the fourth seed, possibly end as the eighth seed if
they don't win these games and everybody else wins, and
then the Kings are in ninth place and the Dallas
Maverickstar in tenth place.
Speaker 4 (30:15):
It is so messy.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
It is two games left, Well, it get clean up.
Let's you have the play in tournament.
Speaker 5 (30:22):
You do have the play in tournament, but you know
they're seating here. So it's like, I've never been play
to lose because you think you're gonna get a better,
you know, opponent in the playoffs. Like I hate that mentality,
especially you know when it's so messy like this all
as a Clippers fan, I don't want to see the
Denver Nuggets in the first round. That's the one where
(30:45):
I think, and I also just maybe I just think
the Nuggets can can get far. I just think Nikola
jokicch is great, and I think like he can literally
do whatever he wants, and I just I don't. I
just don't want to see them in the first round.
Give me someone else, give me the Lake. I'd rather
see the Lakers in the first round. Coach, as a
Clippers fan, you would, I really would?
Speaker 4 (31:08):
I really?
Speaker 5 (31:08):
I think Zubots I think Zubots has a better matchup
against LA than against you know, the Nuggets.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Okay, yeah, I would love to see the battle of
La in the in the first round.
Speaker 5 (31:19):
I read too, it would be It would be fun
and for the first time that the Lakers actually have
to travel somewhere when they play the Clippers, not just
go down the hall. Yeah, that would that would be nice.
So we'll see what happens. Two games to go a
regular season. The East is pretty much set, which is
why we're not diving into it. But we'll see what
happens with these last two games. We'll move on to
(31:39):
the w NBA who is trying to follow in what
the NBA has done the last three years having a
Rivals Week. That's what they're gonna do this year. The
inaugural Rivals Week will start in August, and it's obviously
going to start with Caitlin Clark the Fever taking on
Angel Reese and the Chicago sky me literally squeezing all
(32:02):
of the juice out of this rivalry quote unquote between
Clark and Angel Reese that they can give the people
what they want. Other games that are gonna happen that
you know, could be good matchups in the.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
W Obody cares about other games, Moncey, Well.
Speaker 5 (32:20):
No.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
Body cares about any other games unless Caitlin Clark is
in them.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
Yeah, yeah, what else do you got?
Speaker 5 (32:36):
Okay, no, no, let me ttoush. I was gonna say,
you're not wrong, but the people that are fans all read.
Speaker 4 (32:44):
The show.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
Next press topic.
Speaker 5 (32:50):
All right, fine, we move on since that's the only
thing that is important to you on that one. Uh
let's you know, you talked about it a little bit
already earlier on the show. But I feel like this
whole Tennessee quarterback Nico Iva literally a sitout holding.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
That's a joke.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
It say you sign a contract, that's your contract. Get
your ass to practice. This is what drives everybody crazy
is you have athletes, they have agents.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
They want to act like their professionals.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
Okay, then they sign a contract, they agree, and then
they hear somebody else got something more, so they go, oh,
he got some more. That's not how a contract works.
You sign a contract, oral agreement, written agreement.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
It's written. Okay, get the practice otherwise we doccupay.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Like again, we continue to create some fictional environment where
somebody can sign a crash agree to it, right. You
allow all these other quarterbacks to go elsewhere, and then
he's like, yeah, you know this guy over down the
street got more money than me, so I want more. No,
it's not how anybody's job works. Once do you agree,
Once you signed the line that's dotted until the term
(34:04):
is up. That's how much you're getting. That's how you're getting.
That's what my Gundhi said last year. Don't have your
agent's call.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
We're done. This is where we are.
Speaker 5 (34:13):
I could not agree with you more. You're twenty years old,
you're making two more than two million, and apparently you
want four million. I don't follow Tennessee like closely. Is
he a good quarter? Like should he be askering?
Speaker 2 (34:24):
He started as a freshman last year, he started as
a freshman.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
What he's what what he's being told is, hey, going
rate has gone up, so you're undervalued, to go get
your value. Like that's not that's not how it works.
Once you signed that, once you signed the contract.
Speaker 5 (34:38):
Absolutely Also yeah, no, just no sympathy, right like I can't,
I don't, I don't get it at all, And I
just feel like it's a bad it's gonna said a
bad precedent. But this is the beginning of what's gonna
happen because of nil.
Speaker 4 (34:49):
Looks a lot like NFL training camps. The guy's holding out.
Speaker 5 (34:52):
Yeah, and again, but these are that's now, that's even
more of a blurred line between college and the NFL
because the money that's been you know, given to these
student athletes.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
Well, the issue, the issue, and we talked about a
lot the final four last year, is that the feeling
is collective bargaining is something that can navigate, that can
change this, and there is a way to collective bargain
without making them employees.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
When they're employees.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
It offered it changes all of the tax situation around
everything in college athletics, as well as a litany of
other issues. That's why they're trying to keep them away
from being employees. But again, once you sign any sort
of contract, employment or otherwise, that's it.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
That's supposed to be it. Yeah to me, and his
money paid.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
That man his money as long as he getting paid
his money, and if he didn't show up, they didn't
get his money.
Speaker 5 (35:46):
Unreal. And that's the press.
Speaker 2 (35:49):
That get out there impressed.
Speaker 7 (35:51):
That was the press.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
And by the way, I'm sure there'll be somebody tweeting
me out like I here's a coach. You'll like, I'm
just saying what everybody thinks.
Speaker 2 (35:59):
Stop it.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
Nobody thinks that's that's good business to like, you agree
to terms and then you're like, oh wait, he got
how much?
Speaker 2 (36:05):
Yeah I want more?
Speaker 1 (36:06):
Doesn't work that way. Now, next time you get a
chance to renegotiate. If the term ends at the end
of the season, then by all means, renegotiate where you want,
hold out eever you want. But once that contract is signed,
you're in.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
You're in. You know. The thing about Augusta is it's it's.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
Got a little Rose Bowl to it, but not really right.
I've always said that how many people have turned down
the Rose Bowl in January first, like Margaret, you know,
packed the Winnebago, We're moving to California. Augusta is beautiful,
but I don't think it makes people want to move
to Augusta, Georgia. I do think it makes golfers want
to golf, and it does. Like man, and I can
(36:50):
tell you now, when you're living in the northern part
of the Midwest and things are just now starting to
green up, You're like, that doesn't even look like the
same planet that I live on. There's no flowers in
bloom here yet. It doesn't even like now, in two
three weeks it'll look just like that. But well, Lison,
(37:11):
enjoy the Masters this weekend and the music, and then
of course you have the last weekend of the NBA,
where as Montseed laid out for you, it's a mess.
I don't know who's gonna be what Seed or whatever.

On Purpose with Jay Shetty
I’m Jay Shetty host of On Purpose the worlds #1 Mental Health podcast and I’m so grateful you found us. I started this podcast 5 years ago to invite you into conversations and workshops that are designed to help make you happier, healthier and more healed. I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
