Speaker 1 (00:00):
Thank you, John. It is eight oh five here Kentucky,
Anda's Morning News with Nick Coffee on news Radio eight
forty whas and as we get our final hour started,
I can't fight the feeling here that I need to
clarify that I'm not in support of somebody making fun
and making jokes about someone who just lost their mother recently,
who died. So I don't, I don't condone that, and
(00:23):
I hope and I believe that I did convey that
in our recent conversation there as Scott gave us the
latest update on sports. But for those who missed it,
there's a major League Baseball fan who has been banned
for life because he was accused and I guess admitted
maybe to heckling a picture and he made a reference
to the picture's mother and that picture's I mean, the
(00:44):
picture was emotional, just downright beside himself because clearly what
was said was very hurtful, so much so that he
couldn't control his emotions and he became a story. And
hear me out, I'm not, I don't, I don't. I
don't see how many get anything out of heckling players
at games. I'm not somebody that is approved to it
(01:07):
that thinks it's completely out of line. I just can't relate,
like I've never been in a game in any way
and had the urge, even though clearly when you're at
a game and there's it's a team you really care about,
You've made that emotional investment to a team. Despite that,
I've never had the urge to just yell something at anybody, player, coach, mascot, anything.
(01:28):
Just it's not who I am. And I don't say
that deack like I'm better than anybody who does. It's
just not my personality. So I just don't do it
because it's not me. But I also am not surprised
when you hear it at games, and I do think
if you pay money to go to a professional game
and these guys are making millions, they should just understand
that there's going to be a level of the opposing
fans ribbon you've giving you a hard time. What it
(01:49):
all comes down to is the line, the line that
you can and can't cross. And I don't know if
there's any definitive line that gives us the exacts as
far as what is allowed and what is not and
what's going to get your band for a lot like
this this guy, But John, are you with me at
least that it would be a totally different world of
scenarios here if he's just making a your mama joke,
(02:09):
which again those are lame, childish and probably not funny. Yeah,
but that's different than bringing up something that you know
is I mean, that's cruel.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Well, I mean, whether you're joking about you know, just
regular everything things or not, when you bring up somebody's
deceased relative mom or not, it's definitely crossing on the
You probably shouldn't.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
But if he did not put it this way, if
this fan who's been banned for life came out and
said I was just having fun, probably shouldn't have said
anything regardless, But I am so sorry I hadn't. And
again it's a reminder why you shouldn't make those kind
of jokes, because you really never know somebody's situation. But
if that was the excuse, I wouldn't say, well, okay,
nothing wrong here, nothing to see. Let's reinstate his ability
(02:50):
to go to games. But I would believe him, like
I think that's I think that's plausible in a major way.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Yeah, genuine apologies, especially if somebody sounds like they're very
sorrowful about what they did. I think they're definitely worth
forgiving him, Like.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Your mom can throw better than that, Well, my mom's dead. Thanks,
Like that's that's it. That's you probably feel like an
awful human being after you say that and realize it.
But that's different than saying, hey, buddy, oh where's your mom. Oh,
that's right, she's dead. It sounded really cruel fit different.
And by the way, if that's what if that, I
feel awful just saying that, just to give you an example.
(03:22):
But if that's what was said by the fan, then
he deserves to be banned, and he deserves even worse.
But anyways, speaking of sporting events, and I I'm going
to be in attendance with many of you because I
know this thing is sold out and it just speaks
to how big of a deal the BA, the Savannah
Banana's baseball experience has become so tonight a'ts slugger field.
I'm going for Banana Ball, meaning it won't be the
(03:44):
actual Savannah Banas, It's going to be a party animals.
And I've be impossible to ignore and not be aware
of just how much buzz this this thing has, if
we can call it a thing, because they're selling out
NFL stadiums. I remember Ember last year when the Savannah
the Savannah Bananas came themselves, was at two or three nights,
(04:05):
and I can't remember an event in Louisville where there
were as many people just Hey, who's got tickets?
Speaker 2 (04:12):
I'll pay whatever?
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Anybody know, anybody, please please we There was such a
high demand for it, and now again it's maybe not
at the same level of demand. But even though the
Bananas themselves aren't going to be here, it should still
be a party. And I'm kind of looking forward to
Thank you to one of the listeners who emailed me
just a little breakdown here as far as how this
difference from how this differs from traditional baseball, because again,
(04:35):
I know how popular they are. I know they dance
and perform, but you know, as far as the actual
game itself, if you'd have told me that they don't
actually like it's Harlem globe trotter kind of thing, I
would have I would have believed you. But apparently it
is a real game, which that I think that's a
good thing. So it's fast paced, fan focused and entertaining,
which Hey, that already makes baseball sound better to me.
(04:56):
Fast paced, fan focused and entertaining. I don't know why
I can't speak.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
He's that Kentucky crudd right, Yeah, from all this heat
we're dealing.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
But all games are capped at two hours, so no
new innings start after one hour and fifty minutes, so
that I think that's a benefit. Also, I like the
no walks on ball. Four of the batter sprints to
first and the defense must throw the ball to every
fielder before tagging the runner out. That creates, of course,
some chaos and some excitement. So looking forward to it,
I know my son moves. He's gonna be, he's gonna
(05:26):
be fired up. He just found out last night we
were going and he's he's ready. Although it's gonna be
you know, he's gonna where's the man? I mean, these
are the party animals, son, These are better these guys party.
I'm gonna have to let him know we actually are
seeing the preferable team in the whole mix here. All right,
let's get an update on traffick and weather. Also, we've
got Rory O'Neil set to join us coming up at
eight thirty from NBC. News, we'll get the latest on
(05:47):
this meeting that may be happening, maybe not between Donald
Trump and iron next week. It sounds like there's no
need for the meeting. But again we'll talk to Rory
coming up at eight thirty. Right here our news ready
to wait forty whs. It is eight seventeen Here Tucky
in his morning news with Nick Coffee on News Radio
eight forty whas. Let me get you set for the
rest of our morning here. Coming up, we'll have your
(06:07):
next update on traffic and weather in just a couple
of minutes. Also, we'll talk with Scott Fitzgerald to get
another update on sports, and then Rory on Nail of
NBC News is going to join us. And then of
course we'll finish strong here like we always do, and
then Toty Vineddie will stop by and then Tony and
Dewhite will take over, coming up at nine o'clock. So,
something we discussed earlier for those that weren't with us
is a new podcast that is launching. And I'm sure
(06:29):
a lot of you have podcasts. Fatigue. Everybody's got a podcast,
and I get it, but this one I think is
interesting because of the story. So the guy who used
to be Steve in Blues Clues, and I guess he
still is that guy, but he is starting a podcast,
and how it all came about, I just think is fascinating.
His name is Steve Burns, and he was the host
of Nickelodeon's Blues Clues from nineteen ninety six to two
(06:49):
thousand and two, and he's going to be launching a
podcast in the fall of this year that is going
to target adults millennials who in fact were close to
him via the TV show when they were young. And
I don't believe that. In fact, it says here in
the report from Variety that the podcast was inspired by
the twenty twenty one viral video where he for the
(07:10):
twenty fifth anniversary of Blues Clues, did a video and
he just appeared twenty five years later and he was
the same guy. He actually looked the same too, which
was wild, and he was talking to I guess the
target was those same people, but of course now they're
a lot older. We were right out of the pandemic,
or maybe it was still going on. I don't even know.
That's a very blurry area, but it was as if
(07:35):
everybody who hadn't thought of him in Forever Got an Update,
and he's talking about how life is hard right now
and like what's going on in the world. And he's
talking to you like he did when he was there
for you when you were seven and eight years old,
and he's talking now not about little kit things. He's
talking about real life stuff. So the amount of people
who couldn't help me get emotional about that and talk
(07:55):
about how much they needed to hear from him, that
that was a factor in this podcast kind of all
coming together and I didn't realize it, but it makes
total sense that our own John Alden, he was a
Blues Clues kid, and he shared how he earlier went
and watched the trailer for this new podcast and it
was nostalgic, right yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
And he was sitting in the big red chair kind
of similar to the same way that whenever the Blues
Clue Show would be on TV, and he kind of
talks to you through the camera. It was kind of
I don't want to say it was creepy, because it wasn't.
It just brings you back to that time when you were,
you know, six, seven years old, maybe even younger. And
I'm interested to see when this is going to come out.
I think it's going to be in the fall. Yeah,
the Fall of twenty twenty. I definitely give it a shot.
(08:35):
I don't know if it's something I'll listen to all
the time, but I'm definitely intrigued by it.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Give it a shot. Let us know if it hits
the way they are expecting, because I think if you're
somebody who watched it and it was a part of
your childhood, you made it. You had a connection with
Steve from Blues Clues, and there's still probably a connection
there to an extent. But if you give everybody the same,
like if the aesthetics are very much similar to what
you experienced as a child, the nostalgia will be unreal.
(09:00):
And then if instead of discussing the things he discussed
who seven and eight year olds, he's talking about real
life and even his experience as a real human, not
just the character on the show, I could see this
being successful. I could be totally wrong, but I just
I love how this story all all came together. And
we had a listener earlier listening on the out radio
app that used the talkback feature, and I think they
(09:20):
made here a comparison that I can't relate to because
I didn't watch this show with this man at the time,
but like, it totally checks out for me.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
I think Steve from Blues Cluz is kind of like
the same as maybe mister Rogers back in a different decade.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
So I mean, again just considering the character that what
I mean, those two guys were the show that we're
talking about, and you connected as a kid, and it
just kind of felt like a companion that was like
almost like a mentor.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Right.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Yeah, I didn't see a ton of mister Rogers. I
neither based on what I know about him. It's a
good comparison.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Have you seen the movie that came out with Tom Hanks? Yeah,
I have you seen it? Yeah, I need to watch that.
I haven't watched it, but I've heard good things about it. Yeah,
So good stuff there. And also, if you want to
interact and share thoughts on anything we're talking about or
anything in general, just know you have that option with
the Aaheart Radio app using the talkback feature. Just click
the microphone that you'll see right there on your screen
as you're listening, and it's that easy. All right, We've
(10:15):
got another update of tracking and weather coming your way,
and another update of sports as well. Right here on
news RADIOA forty whis eight forty six here Kentucky in
his morning news. We've got about fifteen minutes roughly left
before we hand it off to Tony and Dwight. And
I am a self proclaimed dork for the NFL Draft
the NBA Draft, not just because I like sports, but
because I just there's always things that come up on
(10:38):
draft night that are entertaining that have nothing to do
with the sport itself. And last night, Tony, there was
a guy named Cedric Coward, who, by the way, has
a really really interesting story, was a D three player
and transferred to a low level D one, really took off,
then transferred to I think it was Washington State, and
then he becomes a lottery pick last night, which is crazy.
(10:59):
But when he was when he was drafted, Malik Andrews,
who works for ESPN, the Four Letter Network, she had
a little bit of a goof, which is an honest mistake.
But I just want to get your thoughts as a
media mogul like yourself, somebody that's been in this broadcast
entertainment business so long. It is an honest mistake, but
the mistake could also be something that like, it wouldn't
(11:19):
shock me if she gets in trouble, let's hear it.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
So the Portland Trailblazers select Colin Coward here this is
a young man with the ultimate bet on yourself story.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
So she mentioned Colin Cowhard, who is not an NBA player,
didn't get drafted. He is somebody who is in her business.
He's a competitor, the direct competitor. He is the Fox,
Fox and ESPN or competitors. I suppose. Obviously Fox is
trying to be competitive. But if they've invested one guy
in one guy to try to give them a little
(11:54):
bit more balance between the two, it's they stole Cowherd
and paid him in say amount of money and on
draft note on ESPN, she's mentioning his name an accident,
which again it seems harmless, but also like there's a
million people watching.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
First of all, it sounds legit. It didn't sound like
a bit right, So she I think if she'd have gone, oh,
I'm sorry, I think you know, because sometimes they do
it on purpose, right. I always used to say when
the other stations would mention us when we were on
seven ninety was like, I don't care as long as
they spell the name right. And you're mentioning my name
and my station on your station. Good for you, Good
(12:29):
for you. It doesn't matter what you say. Please say
it again. I don't care what you're saying. Right, But
that sounded your head first of all, that sounded legit.
The second thing you got to look at is how
much are these people sleep walking through these drafts. You
can't possibly know everything about all these kids, can't possibly care,
you can't possibly interested in it. So that's exactly right.
(12:50):
So they're sleep walking through these you know your hour
number whatever, And then you're thinking minus all of the
prep that you did, so your brain is already broke
and you're uninterested and tired and hungry, and yes, Colin
Cowherd will pop out. By the way, you can listen
to Colin Cowherd from twelve to three on Sports Talk
seven nineteen.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Here we Go. I think it was an honest mistake
that her partners up there. It was Jay Billis and
the other analyst was Kendrick Perkins. Maybe they were just
checked out as well. But maybe this is a no
no because I don't hear this very often. I think,
in fact, I believe I was taught to do this.
I just don't do it. But if you do have
a slip up or a goof like that, just move
along as its exactly happened. But I feel like it
(13:30):
would have been a little bit I just if I
was Kendrick Perkins, I would think, you know, I would
make a slight joke about it and then move on
to at least acknowledge it. But apparently you're not supposed
to do that.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
I would have made fun of Colin Cowherd's basketball acumen
and said, oh, well, he got he wishes he got
drafted to the to the older thirty five Catholic League
may joke.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
About like the Portland Travelers are just having like a yes,
this is this is the make a wish draft picked
honor somebody who could never be sure.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
White guys they can't shoot usually don't get uh, don't
get drafted in the first round. Uh. But you know
the first round of the NBA. I used to watch
it too. The NFL draft is different because every single
one of those players are so ready. Now they used
to have to sit and get better and then play.
They they will start on their teams as rookies that
the first round is they make impacts on their.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Team and the NFL just dominates everything everything. Yeah, the
NFL draft is during the NBA playoffs, Yeah, the beginning
of it. Yeah, and so you got it and Derby
all around the same time.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
I remember a couple of years ago they were talking
about how NFL draft has just taken off. It beat
a Lebron playoff and when he was in Cleveland or something,
and it beat it, like doubled it or tripled it.
The ratings for the draft over an NBA playoff and
then and it just tells you how powerful the NFL.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
When the NFL gives us the schedule, it's a bigger
storyline talking point nationally in sports than almost anything any
other major sport does. That that to me has always
been the real Oh my god, the NBA is not
only dominating, it's that there's there's no competition.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
And to this guy, this kid's point to where he
went to, you know, whatever Division II, blah blah blah,
what worked his way up, That will tell you how
lame the basketball rankings are. Like when they come out
of high school or AAU who's good and who's not good, right,
because they fall through the cracks. Plus there's that, you know,
a lot of these schools get done with their recruiting
and a lot of people. How many times you go
(15:26):
to high school and you come back from summer before
senior year and some dudes gained forty pounds in four inches.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
One of the guys drafted drafted last night. He grew
from five to six to like six eight within an
eighteen month time and it was during the pandemic bingo.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
Yeah, so they they have that leap. Well, recruiting's already
done for most of these schools, so they fall to
a East co you know, we West coast whatever, YadA YadA,
and then they get overlooked. But now with all those
transfer yeah there are and with all this transfer, there's
good and there's mostly bad to the transfer.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Maybe it was just for effect. This guy, it's such
an unheard of great story. Look, can you believe he's here.
We didn't even know his name. Maybe they could sell
it us that I've got to something that I think
is similar that happened in the NFL. I want us
to get your thoughts quickly if this is worse or
the same. So Mark Sanchez, former NFL quarterback. He jumped
to the broadcast booth recently is being as a color analyst,
and when making a comment about a play that may
(16:20):
need to be reviewed or a challenge, he said, well, hey,
let's uh, let's throw it. Let's see what Let's see
what Gene has to say. And he wasn't He was
basically saying, we might have to have him give us
an update. Wrong network. He worked for CBS.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
He referenced the rules analysts.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
That's a little bit.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
I think he was able to keep his job, but
like one the other guy, like, imagine throwing it to
him the rest of the season. You thought you thought
you had.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
The You know, I feel I feel for him because
every time someone talks about him, they do the butt
butt fumble, and it's just like, dude, it was one
play in a career.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Yeah, and also it was a bad look for broadcasters,
who like, why do we even need people who you
never played the game? Well, you didn't even know what
neverk you worked for?
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Exactly?
Speaker 1 (17:03):
All right, let's let's hand it off Tony and right
here and news radiate forty to b h SM
Thank you, John. It is eight oh five here Kentucky,
Anda's Morning News with Nick Coffee on news Radio eight
forty whas and as we get our final hour started,
I can't fight the feeling here that I need to

eight thirty from NBC. News, we'll get the latest on
(05:47):
this meeting that may be happening, maybe not between Donald
Trump and iron next week. It sounds like there's no
need for the meeting. But again we'll talk to Rory
coming up at eight thirty. Right here our news ready
to wait forty whs. It is eight seventeen Here Tucky
in his morning news with Nick Coffee on News Radio
eight forty whas. Let me get you set for the
rest of our morning here. Coming up, we'll have your
(06:07):
next update on traffic and weather in just a couple
of minutes. Also, we'll talk with Scott Fitzgerald to get
another update on sports, and then Rory on Nail of
NBC News is going to join us. And then of
course we'll finish strong here like we always do, and
then Toty Vineddie will stop by and then Tony and
Dewhite will take over, coming up at nine o'clock. So,
something we discussed earlier for those that weren't with us
is a new podcast that is launching. And I'm sure
(06:29):
a lot of you have podcasts. Fatigue. Everybody's got a podcast,
and I get it, but this one I think is
interesting because of the story. So the guy who used
to be Steve in Blues Clues, and I guess he
still is that guy, but he is starting a podcast,
and how it all came about, I just think is fascinating.
His name is Steve Burns, and he was the host
of Nickelodeon's Blues Clues from nineteen ninety six to two
(06:49):
thousand and two, and he's going to be launching a
podcast in the fall of this year that is going
to target adults millennials who in fact were close to
him via the TV show when they were young. And
I don't believe that. In fact, it says here in
the report from Variety that the podcast was inspired by
the twenty twenty one viral video where he for the
(07:10):
twenty fifth anniversary of Blues Clues, did a video and
he just appeared twenty five years later and he was
the same guy. He actually looked the same too, which
was wild, and he was talking to I guess the
target was those same people, but of course now they're
a lot older. We were right out of the pandemic,
or maybe it was still going on. I don't even know.
That's a very blurry area, but it was as if
(07:35):
everybody who hadn't thought of him in Forever Got an Update,
and he's talking about how life is hard right now
and like what's going on in the world. And he's
talking to you like he did when he was there
for you when you were seven and eight years old,
and he's talking now not about little kit things. He's
talking about real life stuff. So the amount of people
who couldn't help me get emotional about that and talk
(07:55):
about how much they needed to hear from him, that
that was a factor in this podcast kind of all
coming together and I didn't realize it, but it makes
total sense that our own John Alden, he was a
Blues Clues kid, and he shared how he earlier went
and watched the trailer for this new podcast and it
was nostalgic, right yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
And he was sitting in the big red chair kind
of similar to the same way that whenever the Blues
Clue Show would be on TV, and he kind of
talks to you through the camera. It was kind of
I don't want to say it was creepy, because it wasn't.
It just brings you back to that time when you were,
you know, six, seven years old, maybe even younger. And
I'm interested to see when this is going to come out.
I think it's going to be in the fall. Yeah,
the Fall of twenty twenty. I definitely give it a shot.
(08:35):
I don't know if it's something I'll listen to all
the time, but I'm definitely intrigued by it.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Give it a shot. Let us know if it hits
the way they are expecting, because I think if you're
somebody who watched it and it was a part of
your childhood, you made it. You had a connection with
Steve from Blues Clues, and there's still probably a connection
there to an extent. But if you give everybody the same,
like if the aesthetics are very much similar to what
you experienced as a child, the nostalgia will be unreal.
(09:00):
And then if instead of discussing the things he discussed
who seven and eight year olds, he's talking about real
life and even his experience as a real human, not
just the character on the show, I could see this
being successful. I could be totally wrong, but I just
I love how this story all all came together. And
we had a listener earlier listening on the out radio
app that used the talkback feature, and I think they
(09:20):
made here a comparison that I can't relate to because
I didn't watch this show with this man at the time,
but like, it totally checks out for me.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
I think Steve from Blues Cluz is kind of like
the same as maybe mister Rogers back in a different decade.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
So I mean, again just considering the character that what
I mean, those two guys were the show that we're
talking about, and you connected as a kid, and it
just kind of felt like a companion that was like
almost like a mentor.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Right.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Yeah, I didn't see a ton of mister Rogers. I
neither based on what I know about him. It's a
good comparison.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Have you seen the movie that came out with Tom Hanks? Yeah,
I have you seen it? Yeah, I need to watch that.
I haven't watched it, but I've heard good things about it. Yeah,
So good stuff there. And also, if you want to
interact and share thoughts on anything we're talking about or
anything in general, just know you have that option with
the Aaheart Radio app using the talkback feature. Just click
the microphone that you'll see right there on your screen
as you're listening, and it's that easy. All right, We've
(10:15):
got another update of tracking and weather coming your way,
and another update of sports as well. Right here on
news RADIOA forty whis eight forty six here Kentucky in
his morning news. We've got about fifteen minutes roughly left
before we hand it off to Tony and Dwight. And
I am a self proclaimed dork for the NFL Draft
the NBA Draft, not just because I like sports, but
because I just there's always things that come up on
(10:38):
draft night that are entertaining that have nothing to do
with the sport itself. And last night, Tony, there was
a guy named Cedric Coward, who, by the way, has
a really really interesting story, was a D three player
and transferred to a low level D one, really took off,
then transferred to I think it was Washington State, and
then he becomes a lottery pick last night, which is crazy.
(10:59):
But when he was when he was drafted, Malik Andrews,
who works for ESPN, the Four Letter Network, she had
a little bit of a goof, which is an honest mistake.
But I just want to get your thoughts as a
media mogul like yourself, somebody that's been in this broadcast
entertainment business so long. It is an honest mistake, but
the mistake could also be something that like, it wouldn't
(11:19):
shock me if she gets in trouble, let's hear it.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
So the Portland Trailblazers select Colin Coward here this is
a young man with the ultimate bet on yourself story.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
So she mentioned Colin Cowhard, who is not an NBA player,
didn't get drafted. He is somebody who is in her business.
He's a competitor, the direct competitor. He is the Fox,
Fox and ESPN or competitors. I suppose. Obviously Fox is
trying to be competitive. But if they've invested one guy
in one guy to try to give them a little
(11:54):
bit more balance between the two, it's they stole Cowherd
and paid him in say amount of money and on
draft note on ESPN, she's mentioning his name an accident,
which again it seems harmless, but also like there's a
million people watching.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
First of all, it sounds legit. It didn't sound like
a bit right, So she I think if she'd have gone, oh,
I'm sorry, I think you know, because sometimes they do
it on purpose, right. I always used to say when
the other stations would mention us when we were on
seven ninety was like, I don't care as long as
they spell the name right. And you're mentioning my name
and my station on your station. Good for you, Good
(12:29):
for you. It doesn't matter what you say. Please say
it again. I don't care what you're saying. Right, But
that sounded your head first of all, that sounded legit.
The second thing you got to look at is how
much are these people sleep walking through these drafts. You
can't possibly know everything about all these kids, can't possibly care,
you can't possibly interested in it. So that's exactly right.
(12:50):
So they're sleep walking through these you know your hour
number whatever, And then you're thinking minus all of the
prep that you did, so your brain is already broke
and you're uninterested and tired and hungry, and yes, Colin
Cowherd will pop out. By the way, you can listen
to Colin Cowherd from twelve to three on Sports Talk
seven nineteen.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Here we Go. I think it was an honest mistake
that her partners up there. It was Jay Billis and
the other analyst was Kendrick Perkins. Maybe they were just
checked out as well. But maybe this is a no
no because I don't hear this very often. I think,
in fact, I believe I was taught to do this.
I just don't do it. But if you do have
a slip up or a goof like that, just move
along as its exactly happened. But I feel like it
(13:30):
would have been a little bit I just if I
was Kendrick Perkins, I would think, you know, I would
make a slight joke about it and then move on
to at least acknowledge it. But apparently you're not supposed
to do that.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
I would have made fun of Colin Cowherd's basketball acumen
and said, oh, well, he got he wishes he got
drafted to the to the older thirty five Catholic League
may joke.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
About like the Portland Travelers are just having like a yes,
this is this is the make a wish draft picked
honor somebody who could never be sure.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
White guys they can't shoot usually don't get uh, don't
get drafted in the first round. Uh. But you know
the first round of the NBA. I used to watch
it too. The NFL draft is different because every single
one of those players are so ready. Now they used
to have to sit and get better and then play.
They they will start on their teams as rookies that
the first round is they make impacts on their.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Team and the NFL just dominates everything everything. Yeah, the
NFL draft is during the NBA playoffs, Yeah, the beginning
of it. Yeah, and so you got it and Derby
all around the same time.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
I remember a couple of years ago they were talking
about how NFL draft has just taken off. It beat
a Lebron playoff and when he was in Cleveland or something,
and it beat it, like doubled it or tripled it.
The ratings for the draft over an NBA playoff and
then and it just tells you how powerful the NFL.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
When the NFL gives us the schedule, it's a bigger
storyline talking point nationally in sports than almost anything any
other major sport does. That that to me has always
been the real Oh my god, the NBA is not
only dominating, it's that there's there's no competition.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
And to this guy, this kid's point to where he
went to, you know, whatever Division II, blah blah blah,
what worked his way up, That will tell you how
lame the basketball rankings are. Like when they come out
of high school or AAU who's good and who's not good, right,
because they fall through the cracks. Plus there's that, you know,
a lot of these schools get done with their recruiting
and a lot of people. How many times you go
(15:26):
to high school and you come back from summer before
senior year and some dudes gained forty pounds in four inches.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
One of the guys drafted drafted last night. He grew
from five to six to like six eight within an
eighteen month time and it was during the pandemic bingo.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
Yeah, so they they have that leap. Well, recruiting's already
done for most of these schools, so they fall to
a East co you know, we West coast whatever, YadA YadA,
and then they get overlooked. But now with all those
transfer yeah there are and with all this transfer, there's
good and there's mostly bad to the transfer.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Maybe it was just for effect. This guy, it's such
an unheard of great story. Look, can you believe he's here.
We didn't even know his name. Maybe they could sell
it us that I've got to something that I think
is similar that happened in the NFL. I want us
to get your thoughts quickly if this is worse or
the same. So Mark Sanchez, former NFL quarterback. He jumped
to the broadcast booth recently is being as a color analyst,
and when making a comment about a play that may
(16:20):
need to be reviewed or a challenge, he said, well, hey,
let's uh, let's throw it. Let's see what Let's see
what Gene has to say. And he wasn't He was
basically saying, we might have to have him give us
an update. Wrong network. He worked for CBS.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
He referenced the rules analysts.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
That's a little bit.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
I think he was able to keep his job, but
like one the other guy, like, imagine throwing it to
him the rest of the season. You thought you thought
you had.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
The You know, I feel I feel for him because
every time someone talks about him, they do the butt
butt fumble, and it's just like, dude, it was one
play in a career.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Yeah, and also it was a bad look for broadcasters,
who like, why do we even need people who you
never played the game? Well, you didn't even know what
neverk you worked for?
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Exactly?
Speaker 1 (17:03):
All right, let's let's hand it off Tony and right
here and news radiate forty to b h SM
