Speaker 3 (00:44):
Hey, how are you doing this morning?
Speaker 2 (00:45):
I'm good. I'm good, Anthony, I'm really good.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
I've got so many paper notes before I can throw
it to you that I have to make sure I
get everything in. I've got so much, and I've got
to go back and find it, because Anthony, I've got
too many things to remember in your sixty six. You
just can't handle it. But we know that we're going
to jump into this transfer portal. We're going to talk
about Niko the quarterback at tennessee all the national news,
(01:12):
the four million dollars and all the uproar. We're going
to speak about that directly and I'm going to give
people my view on it, and I don't have a
dog in the fight. That's the one great thing, yes,
that I'm getting. I'm watching right down on the ESPN
Haley van Litt being drafted by the Chicago Sky, which
you'll get into.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Eleventh. Overall, congratulations the Haley former Cardinals.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
We've got Georgia Amore any that little girl can score it,
and we'll talk about that. I'll let you give that later.
But number six, I mean to the miss six. So
we've got a lot of things to talk about. But
before we get into all of those things, Anthony, I
want to do the news of the day. And first
and foremost, it's the fifteenth, Anthy. If you didn't know that,
(01:56):
it's tax time, and if you didn't know that, you
better have your taxes turned into day. The post office
will be busy today. So I just want everyone to
understand that that.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Is that day.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Yes, that is that day, April the fifteenth, that goes
down in infamy.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Anthony. Everybody understands. Oops.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Either you're happy you're getting something back, or you're sad
like myself wondered how much they're going to bust my
head open for this year. It's one of the two, Anthony.
There's no in between around tax time. But all I
can say is this, I got my taxes in on time.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Anne.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
I come home yesterday and my wife says, hey, guess
what what? Well, I just saw the email. I said,
what what Our tax consultant wants back from you. I'm like, oh,
when she sent it sometime last week. I'm like, oh,
that's good, Anthony, Mama got me. She got me. But
(02:52):
it's simple. The things she wants is simple, so I'll
get it to her. But yep, it is the fifteenth.
So if you had forgotten, I just wanted to remind
you it's here now. Second thing, Anthony, piece of business
that we have to talk about is the Oriol's fundraiser. Guys,
you have seen all the devastation. I mean, we have
(03:15):
seen all of the devastation that has transpired throughout Louisville
and Kentucky. Liza been lost through this flood, and what
a horrific time that some people are going through. I
watched some of my sponsors, Christy at Riverroad Barbecue and
(03:35):
they're trying to again re establish their business right there
at Zorn Avenue and River Road. Railroad Barbecue some of
the best barbecue in the city of Louisville. And I'm
watching on the news and she is speaking about there
was nine feet of water on their property and then
they're building nine feet of water. So, guys, there are
(03:55):
a lot of people that are going through a lot
of things that we need to try to help, and
that's what the Orioles is doing.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
So we had Lori dioron yesterday. Used to be a
University of Louisville cheerleader, really really great. She's an auctioneer.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
So if you need an auctioneer, Lourie's the one because
she really knows how to raise money.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
I've seen her do it. I've been at some of
her functions.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
I was speaking about today's event at the di Oreos
on River Road right here truly again a driver from
US forty two and River Road on the left hand side.
It goes all day. Now, I do want to get
some things out. The live auction and the music is
from five to nine this afternoon. But as for the proceeds,
(04:44):
a lot of the proceeds will be going to the
restaurants up and down River Road to help their employees.
So again I wanted to make sure that we let
everyone know all day today, but there will be auction items.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
All of the auction money goes to them.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
And also there'll be music played this afternoon five to nine,
not all day, but still please try to stick your
head in support the community, all of them, from Captain's
Quarters to River Road Barbecue. I mean, it's just amazing
what has happened the Pine Room, what has happened on
River Road with all our restaurants. So without having Thunderrover Louisville,
(05:26):
which was a huge fundraiser, we're gonna try to get
it in. So right now, I just hate to tell you.
Kim mcpete's hit me saying busy week, maybe a short notice.
He's gonna let me know on our show, which i'll
get to. We always have a show at Wagner's Restaurant.
So I sent Ken mcpete something this morning about five forty.
(05:47):
You all know he was the Derby and Oaks winner
from last year. Great guy Lexington, guy played basketball. Wife's
a huge Cardinal fan. But we're all going back and forth.
We're getting that show together. Lee Wagner is saying that
he going to try to get Bob Badford at the
show either the twenty eighth or twenty ninth of April.
But let's make sure that we support the Orioles today.
(06:09):
Let's get out and let's make sure so we can
help dey Orioles, support all the restaurants up and down
River Road, all of them. And think about the poor
vendors that miss thunder over Louisville. Guys that I mean,
this is thunder over Louisville. We probably I guarantee you
as sixty seventy percent of a lot of the vendor's
income for the year that was canceled.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
So if you can do, that's all that I want
to tell you. If you can help, please help.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
But today at the Oriols we have a fundraiser for
all the other restaurants on River Road. And like I
told you, I'll get into it later today about the
show at Wagner's either the twenty eighth or twenty ninth of.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
April, Derby week. Of course, Lee.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Wagner, whoever show there, we bring in great people. And
Kim mcpete right now I was telling me he might
be just like last time. He ran in, gave us
five minutes and had to get out because it's such
everybody is so busy that week of Derby, but they
always fine time. So anyway, Anthony, that is the news
that I had to get out. Oh no, it's not in.
(07:17):
I just want people to know that. On the news yesterday,
talking to a real good friend of mine, he says,
have you seen the houses that are slipping into Harrits Creek.
I said, no, I haven't. I said, what are you
talking about? Yeah, you need to check the news. Houses
are slipping into Harrit's Creek. Well, guys, I grew up
(07:38):
on Harrotts Creek. I moved on Herrits Creek in nineteen
sixty nine. My home does not back up to the creek.
I'm at the far end of the neighborhood, but I
could walk to the creek in honestly, three minutes. I
walked that entire shore martin dumbarn Idea. We used to
ride our mini bikes all up and down on the
right side of Herrot's Creek going out out to the
(08:00):
Ohio River.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
So people were.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Saying houses falling, houses fall I'm like darn any houses
other than in my neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
And Sheela said, how do you know.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
I said, I've walked and ridden and driven that area
since nineteen sixty nine all the way to seventy eight.
Every summer it was my little hangout, my little quiet place.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
We just go catch frogs, fish a little bit.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Martin and I would talk junk and just whatever. We
drive our MANI bikes back there. Whatever kids would do.
And I said, that's weird.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
I haven't heard.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
So I call my brother. He says, I haven't heard.
Then a person says to me, Ryan says, it's on
the news right now.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
I turn on WDRB last night, it's eleven pm.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
The back of those homes are in my mother's neighborhood.
And I've been waiting because it has been eroding away
you off for the last fifty years. It's really catastrophic.
They're going to in my opinion, I hate this. Either
they're gonna have to. I yes, I guess you could
pay and have a company come out drop poles in
(09:13):
the ground fifty or sixty feet deep and above the ground,
probably at least fifty or sixty feet, and then put
up a retaining wall and leave those homes and fill
back in the dirt to make sure that you've got
level ground for those homes. But I'm sure that's going
to be super costly or they're going to take those
(09:35):
houses down. Guys, they're just that close to falling in.
I used to cut the grass of both of the homes.
One gentleman you used to own it was mister Austin.
The original owner of the home was mister Austin. He
was a preacher. And the other one was Clay, a
relator everybody remembers. Everybody knows Frank Clay, a realator, and
(09:57):
both of them are deceased now. They were the original
own owners and at that time their backyards were probably
fifteen yards if true backyard before it dropped off. Now
the drop off is dead underneath these homes. So, guys,
there's no way that Justin County can allow those homes.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
To fall into Harot's Creek. There's no way. So, guys,
it's going to be really catastrophic.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
I'm waiting to see how they handle this, but it's
gonna have to be handled immediately. And from the pictures
that I saw, Anthony, it's not safer. I know who
the owners are I'm not going to call them out.
I've never met them personally, but I know who they
are and.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
They better be safe.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
I don't I'm not sure if they're letting them stay
in those homes, but something's going to have to happen
immediately because if there was another bad reign, they could
truly slide into its creek, which there's no way Metro
government can allow that, no way. So guys, there are
a lot of people that this is really really catastrophic.
(10:57):
That's all I wanted people to know. I mean, people's
lives have been changed for forever. So we're already at
seven sixteen. We won't get to break any and when
we come back, we're gonna throw it to you at
a little national news and then we're gonna get into
the news of the day, which is this name egined
Likeness portal and this Nico thing that has captured America.
(11:19):
Supposedly he wants four million dollars. Tennessee didn't want to
pay it. North Carolina was supposedly going to be a
suitor at three point five million. Just to let you know,
no one knows, because last night I read the North
Carolina and Nico had come to an agreement at three
point five million this morning, there's no agreement, which is
(11:41):
what I've been trying to tell people.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
We don't know who's telling the truth. This is Esports Radio.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
After the break, we're gonna get into it, and Heaves
will be back with the national news in a second.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Welcome back to Eves Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
I'm gonna throw it to Anthony and let us give
us a little national news before we get into the
true news of the day. And it's not about ni COO.
It's just about the thought process of the payment of
college athletes.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
So anty what you got for national.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
News, brother, Yeah, probably some of the national news were
getting into. We did speak about our NBA draftees. Obviously,
we had Paige Beckers from Yukon going once to Dallas
with the number six pick. We did have Georgia Moore
went to the Washington Mystics, so congratulations to her huge accomplishment,
And obviously we did speak up earlier. We did have
Haley van Liff former Louis Vicar know actually had TCU
(12:30):
horn Frogs going out to play with her former teammate
Angel Reese at the Chicago Sky So those are the
three we want to just notarize for yes, those amazing compliments,
something that's not easy to do at any level of
any sport.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
No, so really great.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
I mean, think Paige Becker anytime someone is fifty forty
and eighty Anthony, fifty from the two, forty from the three,
and eighty from the free throw line. Real player, Georgia
amore Anthony, this little girl, I'm sorry you this you
a young lady. Six hundred points to undred assist.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Anthony.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
She's shooting runners off the wrong leg from fifteen feet
going away from the basket. She's got every shot in
the game. I mean, you all need to see the
highlight tape of that young lady. Mike, I just watched
it this morning. I'm like, I needed to watch her
at University of Kentucky. I don't know if there was
a game I should have Anthony. She's got an assortment
(13:26):
on a ray. She's a little scoring machine. Six hundred
points to another assist. And then I'm so happy for
Haley van Liz. She's gone through so much. Anthony transferring
to LSU talk a lot to a lot of degree
from Cardinal fans for leaving LSU didn't go as well.
As she wanted to, even though they did reach the
Final four, which I tell people she's a starter on
the final four team. But again, expectations are crazy on
(13:49):
athletes today, Anthony, and I was one of them, and
I put the same expectations on my players, so I'm
not bailing myself out. But I'm glad to see that
she was drafted eleventh by the sh Cargo Sky, so
she gets to play with Angel Race again, their teammates again.
So congratulations to all the draftees and Anthony. There's a
(14:10):
new league to three on three league getting it crazy.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
I think Page is going to make somewhere around eighty
five to ninety thousand dollars this year, and she'll make
two hundred and twenty thousand dollars in the three on
three leagues, so I'm glad there's a lot. I'm glad
people are able to make money. Guys, there was a
time when you had to play an NBA to reap
any benefits at all, apenny from all your work period,
(14:36):
point blank.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Guys.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
I want you'all to let y'all know I'm not crying
about it. And I was happy at my first salary
at forty thousand dollars really happy nineteen eighty two, forty thousand.
But I do want y'all to know my dad made
more than I did. Just let y'all know my dad,
microbiologist Hugh Manna, William Cherry, Dave Jones hired my dad
(15:00):
to run the laboratory, maybe more than I did. So
I'm glad. I'm sorry, guys, You're never gonna get me
to say I'm not. I worked too hard for forty
thousand bucks, period, point blank. And if I'd taken the dime,
my dad would have killed me. First thing, I signed
for free? And then am I happy about that?
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Note? Did I? Yes?
Speaker 1 (15:20):
I can take a lot of Texas antony. I signed
for free. I don't care what anyone says, no offense or.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
But's about it? All that everybody was making money. Everybody.
That's a lie.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
But you know it's easy to lie. It makes you
feel good and the people. It makes people feel good. Oh,
you were getting Dereck Smith also, I can speak for him.
I'm telling you so, guys, it just is what it is.
So I'm just glad that the young ladies are able
to go out and get some financial gains from all
(15:52):
the work that they have put in because it did
not come easy. Patri Becker two knee operations and you
know how menytimes she heard herself had to come bouncing back.
I mean, a little more girl. The only way she
has the skills she has, she had to put in
all kinds of hours, Anthony, because she is skilled. Have
you ever watched her play any Have you ever seen
(16:14):
Georgia a More play at all?
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (16:17):
I watched her play something during her regular season and
in the tournament, so she was she was phenomenal.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Obviously.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
I know they had a couple of close calls even
in the NCAA tournament. But if she wasn't on that team,
I hate to see it. I don't even think they
would have been a tournament contention team.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Absolutely, I'm with you one hundred percent, one hundred percent.
Any that little girl was a game changer, oh man.
And the same thing with Haley. So I'm happy for
all three of them. Job well done. What else we have? Brother?
Speaker 2 (16:42):
What else do we have?
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Yep?
Speaker 3 (16:46):
And also the big game we wanted to get into.
We were talking about a lot with the transfers in
the NILS. Obviously, the big controversial one is we have
with the Tennessee quarterback Nico. Obviously, he was released from
the team just a few days ago. And obviously he's
contensually signed with unc Tar Hills and Bill Belichick for
a five million dollar in IL deal. Obviously, the big
(17:06):
thing was that he won a four million dollar in
IL package upgrade rays from his original two point five
that he had signed with Tennessee last year coming into
his next season. And so you know, Tennessee.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
I just said on ESPN that North Carolina has backed
out of that agreement.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
He is not going to North Carolina.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
They're saying Tulane and UCLA now, so again continue we again,
these these crazy dollars that are being thrown out. Myself,
I just don't believe it, but we're gonna talk about it.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Continue yep.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
And obviously the three contenders that they have further replacements
for Nico at Tennessee. Obviously they're kind of in a
they're in a short short staff bundle here when it
comes to finding quarterbacks out there on the market that
they can think contend against the SEC talent. The number
one option would be would be Hayines King, which is
the Georgia Tech quarterback last year I think Haynes s
(18:01):
King did have a great season last year for the
team that they did have. He had the phenomenal games.
He's a dual threat quarterback. Not as great throwing, but
he is versatile getting out of the pocket and an
excellent scrambler, so that is also an option for him.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Didn't have Georgia Georgia Tech game. Anthony.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
That Georgia Georgia Tech game last year made me a believer.
I thought Georgia would just maul them. It was a
ball game the entire way. So yes, he is. He
is one candidate. Who's another one.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Then the second candidate is Avery Johnson who's a quarterback
at Kansas State right now. He is also one of
the good ones. He is more of a throwing quarterback.
He has a little bit more maybe a little bit
of a pocket presidence whis come to be in mobility,
but he likes to do more of an aerosolt Avery
Johnson does. And then their last option they had is
sam as Sean Levitt from Arizona State out there. Obviously,
(18:51):
he was a quarterback that was with the phenomenal running
back that had to kind of make his mark towards
the end of the season, saying that he was one
of the best running backs in college basketball outside of
Ashton GenZ. His name is.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
I love that kid. I like him better than asking gent.
I will find it during the break, but I do.
But they did not. When they got it, they were
just like Indian Anthony got knows playoffs to the real
game came out of there. That's all Arizona State. But
I do they did have qualities offensive players.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
They did.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Yes, So those are the three candidates out there to
replace Nico.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
So here's the deal. I'm gonna let you all.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
I've got a tape from Lashawn McCoy running back from
Pittsburgh talking about this situation with Tennessee and Nico the quarterback.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
And these crazy dollars.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
And I've heard all kinds of things, Like someone close
to me we were talking about they say that in
men's basketball that Michigan has got the number one payroll, okay,
and Kentucky's got the number two payroll. And I ask them, again,
how do we know? Has anyone seen a contract on
any player? I said to Anthony, I said, Anthony, if
(20:10):
it was you and we were coming and we were
going through this, I wouldn't tell us so what you made,
I would negotiate without a doubt, but I wouldn't be
out running my mouth saying this is what my son's getting.
And the teams are not showing you written proven contracts.
So how do we know. We've got everybody estimating all
the jerrys, and I mean, that's what we do. I understand,
(20:31):
but I'm trying to talk fact to people. What do
we actually know?
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Wasn't it true? Anthony?
Speaker 1 (20:37):
We heard this year that somebody said that Alabama had
thrown what five million dollars or ten million dollars that
old way.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
And I'm guys, I'm not saying Alabama did this.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
I don't want you all thinking that I'm saying that,
but we were hearing these crazy rumors. I'm just saying, guys,
in my opinion, I hope, but I just don't believe
the money is where it is other than I would.
I told you this, Handy, and I'm gonna tell everybody
when you say the Manning brand at Texas, I believe
that if you told me forty million dollars a Manning,
(21:10):
it's a brand. The name is big, no matter what
anybody wants to say, it's a legitimate brand of its own.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
It is from daddy to two sons super Bowl champions.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
The dad was never super Bowl champion Anny, but he
may have been the best of the three. That is
a brand of itself. I can believe that because of
what it brings. But these other things, I'm still a
little leery. And we're gonna talk about that. So great
job on those three names at the research and those
three quarterbacks that are in the transfer portal. So we're
at seven thirty, Shannon, I want you to play my
(21:46):
clip from la Sean McCoy running back from Pittsburgh University
talking about this Nico deal. And I want people to
know I don't have a dog in a fight. I
could care less if Tennessee's good or bad. Guys, I
really they're not Kentucky, they're not Louisvillo, they're not Indiana.
They're close, and I like to talk about them Rocky
Top to give Kentucky fans our time. But guys, I
(22:10):
don't have a dog in the fight. I don't know
Josh Haipel and I don't know Nico.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
And his family. So I want you to listen to
this clip.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
And then I'm gonna go to bro. I'm gonna come
back and speak to your second and we'll go to break.
When we come back, I'm gonna try to make some
reason of this for you all, play it for me, Shannon.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
And because it's like once the players and this is
an NFL in college, once the players have.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Power, it's a whole issue.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
It's like everybody goes in this panic mode, right, But
for all these years, the NCAA have been taking money
from these young kids.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
For years. You went back to college stories. Let me
give you one. Now, at Pittsburgh, we.
Speaker 4 (22:47):
Don't have how much of superstars like Texas, at least
not in college. On the pros, we killed them pro
but in college we didn't have all that. And I
remember being in these games where first game of the year,
we're playing against South Florida.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
They're a number fourteen in the country. We beat him.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
You know, your boy went off two touchdowns like two
and some of the yards we went though, right, And
I remember, like, you know, all these shady for Heisman,
you know, T shirts. Everybody in the crowd have my
stuff on, and you know what, I'm going back to
my room and me and my boys just trying to like, yo,
damn were hungry to nothing. Right, we bought up and
be hungry and we couldn't go out there and get
enough food to Now I call my mom my pops
to you know. But like they're making money off of stuff,
(23:22):
we ain't getting nothing. Of course, now that Rose has changed,
it's an issue. I remember in college where you see
a guy goes to the pros. It's a really really
good pro But in college, dam he ain't starting with
this guy. He started this guy and the guys he
didn't start over. They working somewhere else.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
They not have interested sports, no war. Why did that happen?
Because the coach maybe got in.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
His feelings or got mad or didn't want to play you,
maybe he had relationships with someone else. Happens all the time.
And now when the Roses, when the player, it's a problem, Niko,
I'll say this, if he was a better player, right,
and this is this true rever, If he's a better player,
if this was Shador Sanders or this is King Ward,
they would get that four minut holes right, because he's
that good. We need to get him. And then now
it's like the president's oh well, the team coach, they
stepped up. No, y'all didn't he he didn't.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Have enough power to get this to handle this.
Speaker 4 (24:02):
But I guess what the next superstar quarterback require. That's
really really that good. That man as that most of
that that team that franchise today at university, they gonna
get this thing done.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
So, guys, when we come back from break, I'm just
gonna explain it to you so that I can make
some sanity.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Of this to you. This is EVE Sports Radio for
numbers five zero two, five nine hundred.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
We'll talk to you in a second. Welcome back to
EVE Sports Radio. Seven thirty sixth April the fifteenth. Don't
forget Anthony.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
It's tax day. You got your taxes in.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
Anthony might have been, though, I'm not. I don't wait
till the last minute.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
Okay, I didn't neither Anthy. Your mother did me in.
She said that, by the way, you need to get
some things turned in.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
I said, I've been waiting to hear about that.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
But anyway, here's the issue with the Nico guys and
the payment of athletes. I understand it's so normal and
the money is so abnormal, really high, that it's hard for
me to believe the institutions are going to try to
put in a twenty million dollars salary cap once the
(25:16):
legislation is done, and hopefully that will be very soon.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Judge Wilkins is working.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
On that, which means I've had directly told to me
that teams are going to try to pay ten eleven
million to the football team, five to six million, maybe
seven to the basketball program, which puts you again at
eighteen million, and they're going to try to leave two
million dollars for the Olympic sports because there are players
(25:45):
those sports that need to receive something. Got me. That's
the formula. It doesn't mean that kids still cannot go
out and get shoe deals or clothing deals just like
professional players, because you cannot limit people's income. You heard
Lashawan McCoy, the running back, speaking about his Heisman year,
(26:07):
and all I can.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Do is the analogy is used.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
Daryl Griffin, Lamar Jackson got me, John Wall, Karl Anthony
Towns got me. Just to take think about it. All
the jerseys that were being sold were their names on them.
They couldn't make a dime. So McCoy told you that
(26:29):
they were going back to the dorm trying to find money,
calling their parents.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Mark Clayton and I told.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
You all the truth. People don't like to hear of
the truth. We would put our money together. Scooter Rodney,
Mark Clayton, Wiley Brown, Derek Smith stayed in United so
he wasn't with us, but we stayed in Miller and
I had a blow up pental wagon and Scooter had
an old, old Buick and we would ride to Kings
(26:55):
on Broadway, pick up the chicken and come back and
we'd all eat one at a time. Don't you get
to before everybody else got their second guys? That was college.
So everyone's gonna sit here and tell you, Anthony, Oh
but Jerry, that's back then. There were seventy two thousand
people who watched me play in the Final four in
nineteen eighty two. Seventy two thousand.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
I don't want to hear that.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
And the NCAA made all that money. You got me
back to back nights in nineteen eighty two, there were
seventy two thousand. There were forty plus thousand when Houston
played UCLA in the Astrodome in Houston. Elvin Hayes Kareem Okay,
I just.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Want y'all to know.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Now, stop kidding yourself about how much money has been
made by this NCAA. Don't feel sorry for them. I'm sorry,
I'm not. I'm not gonna let you. That's all there
is to it. And in the day, if they would
have proven that athlete, it happened to Louisville player's, Kentucky players, India, everywhere.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
If a package opened up had some money. If this the.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Player was ineligible, how could he take a dime? Are
you kidding me? Guys, we're comical. I've said it all
the time. I didn't know it. My dad used to
tell me this, and I'm like, boy's preaching to me,
Why are you preaching to me?
Speaker 2 (28:15):
When the bottom gets paid in America, it's always an uproar.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
But so much money has been made. Don't say millions,
say billions. You've got CTE athletes. They don't pay for it.
They could care less. They send you out of their
after your eligibility is over.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
It's over. This is amateur who come on and they
make billions. So then I heard the same story.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Why I played it from the Sean McCoy that played
at Pittsford that we mark Clayton, and I told you all,
which is one hundred per cent factual, about putting our
money together, hungry at night in college. My brothers can
tell you the same thing in Kentucky and at Ball State.
The stories of the same cafetiers weren't open, wasn't unlimited
(29:00):
at all. This and that like it is today, Thank
you Lord, it is today because they've been making money
on this for seventy or eighty years now. Tennessee, Josh
hypo Anthony is the one who threw out there, no
one's bigger than a program. I agree with that one
hundred percent. I agree with that one hundred percent. I've
(29:24):
talked to people say no one, Jerry, No, he's biggeran
a program. I agree with them one hundred percent. That
is your decision, coach to say no, you got me.
But Tennessee is the one that has come public again.
Have you all heard one word from Nico other than
Tennessee and saying he mispractice. There's one tape out there
(29:45):
that's saying he was renegotiating during the playoff games. And
all I asked Anthony was did Nico play in the
college football playoffs? Yes, he did, so guys, but we're
hearing all the maybe what if it always is the athlete? Okay,
are they asking for maybe too much? The money is crazy?
(30:06):
You know my show is based on I'm going to
tell you the truth. Absolutely, no one will pay what
they don't have. No one will pay what they're not making.
That's all I'm telling you, period, point blank. It won't happen.
They won't put themselves out of business. They will say no,
I've got no problem with Tennessee saying, then enter the
(30:30):
transfer portal. Do your thing, young man, and we're going
to enter the transfer portal and find a replacement for you,
which is exactly what's going to transpire. So everybody that's uproar,
the people that came out publicly was Tennessee. So the earnest,
in my opinion, is Tennessee to say and show this
(30:51):
contract from they were supposedly paying him in high school. Again,
I'm not saying this is factual. This is just all
the hears say that he had a million dollar deal
and they were paying him Nico at high school X
amount of dollars got me, which means, if that is true,
they believed in the young man's talent, they thought he
would be a talented player. They were going to risk
(31:13):
putting out a ten million dollar offer over the four
year period and pay him some in high school. If
it is true, I'm not saying it's true. I'm just
giving you all the thought process. So if you're going
to put up ten million dollars to a high school
kid because you think he's going to be good enough,
and then the young man says, I want to go
(31:34):
from two to four, well, if you've already put up
ten and you know he's only going to stay one
more year, guys, let's stop it. If you think your
investment was that good, which is ten million dollars, and
he is, you think that his ability is to take
you all again back to the college football playoffs, which
he did, and the team, what's the big deal?
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Okay? And if it is a.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
Big deal, all you do is tell he is agent,
which they all have, or parent. No, hit the transfer portal.
Best of luck, we'll hit the transfer portal. Sorry it
didn't work out. All that had to be said, but
that's not what was said. No one's bigger than the program.
I want people that want to be here. Okay, I
(32:19):
got you? What have all the schools done, all of
them are going to the transfer portal, and all of
them are getting players. You know what those transfer portal
players are, Anthony. So people understand those players are renegotiating
their contracts. Only difference is they said I'm going in
the transfer portal. So there's no hate. So that when
(32:40):
Louisvean and Kentucky get great teams, and they're both putting
together great teams, I have no problem with when they
put theirselves in the transfer portal. They're renegotiating their contracts,
that's all. But there's not the super duper hate that
Nico's going through. I still have it, and if someone has,
(33:00):
I got friends, guys, they ain't scared of Jerry's. They'll
tell me, trust me, and if they can find somebody
can find me to where I see the Nico regime
publicly saying four million dollars I'm hitting the road, then
I'll want to hear it and I will report it
to you. I got no dog in this fight. I
don't care anything about Nico. I can't even pronounce his
last name. I'm not gonna sit here and kid you,
(33:20):
but I'm just telling you the thought process of what's
going on. So since Tennessee has stepped forth with this,
I want to see Tennessee present the contract that they
present it to the young man that he's not honoring.
Don't throw out hearsay, show me the contract. It's not
against the rules, it's legal, that's all. That's why I
(33:41):
have a problem with Tennessee. Dan, If you're not gonna
show me the contract, shut the hell up and move
on and get in the transfer portal. It didn't work out,
But that's not what's going on. It didn't work out,
that's all. And we're all going to the transfer portal.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
No matter who you're a fan of.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
And you're getting play and it's going to make your
team exciting to watch. And it is and we watched
it last year and I enjoyed it. I don't care
what anyone says.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
So you all.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
Take a step back, because everybody we've signed that we
are all happy that we've gotten negotiated their contract through
the transfer portal. I just think Tennessee's thrown the young
man out there instead of saying we can't do it
and ICO sorry it didn't work out, like professionals, move on,
Tennessee goes to the transfer Portal. Guys, have you ever
(34:35):
been to a Tennessee football game? Have you ever seen
that stadium? How full it is? Have you ever have
you ever gone and seen one hundred and six thousand people?
Have you ever seen that river packed with boats. I'm
not saying it's right, guys, I'm just telling you it's
the way of the world. Athletes are highly overpaid. I
have told you all that my picture is in every
(34:56):
post office in America. Don't hit me with the hypocrite
stuff I've said for ten years since I've been on
this radio, and I'm gonna say it again. Anthony, my
pictures in every post office. I made a living and
raised my family through athletics.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
What a blessing. I love.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
University of Louisville got Lee, Anthony, Boy, you weren't even
born yet. But I left Louisville coach Crumb in nineteen
ninety nine and went to the Charlotte Hornets at two
hundred and fifty seven thousand dollars. I've never made that
much money in my life in one year. That's no
money today, but that was a lot of money back then.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
Got me.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
And when I went and told Coach Crumb who was
like my second dad, straight up best man in the
world of my father. I listened to Coach crumbre on't
anybody when he brought me in. You know, my dad
would just turn my butt up. And when Coach Crumb
wrote me in and gave me that letter where he
wrote me up for saying the four letter word to players, saying, Jerry,
you're smarter than that, don't show you ignorance, I was
mad at him a bit. That man loved me, He
(35:55):
was trying to educate me. He was a great man.
You got me a great man. But I still left
for that two hundred and fifty seven thousand dollars went
to Charlotte and added on to my NBA pension guys,
which I hate to tell you. When all the people
were saying Jerry's wanted a job at Louisville, It's the
last thing I needed was a job. My dad told
(36:16):
me to count dollars and pennies when I was young,
always did and always will. I made the right decision,
got me, period, But Coach Crumb. I left Coach Crumb
the best of word. Coach didn't throw me under the bus.
We offered yes, and I'm being honest with you. Louisville
came up with a pretty good package before I left,
and I said to Coach Crumb, God's on this truth, Coach,
(36:38):
I didn't make a deal to get a deal.
Speaker 2 (36:41):
Well, times have changed. Times have changed, that's all. Times
have changed.
Speaker 1 (36:47):
So I want Tennessee go get another great quarterback, and
I will pull for Hey.
Speaker 2 (36:52):
I'll give Cat fans a hard time about anything. I
hope you're good.
Speaker 1 (36:56):
I do, but I don't care. But I wish Tennessee
you would have handled it differently. Until somebody can prove
to me, send me the audio to where you hear
Nico publicly saying that Tennessee didn't do X, Tennessee didn't
do why, or we want four million dollars, or we're walking,
or we try to renegotiate before the playoff game, and
(37:18):
all the things that I've heard. I've heard these things,
but I just don't know any of them. How can
we prove it unless the person that throws out the accusations,
which is Tennessee, proves it.
Speaker 2 (37:32):
That's all.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
And guys, if y'all want to think that all these
coaches are great guys and great people, they're bad people
in every profession.
Speaker 2 (37:41):
That's all I'm telling every profession. Don't we know that?
Oh we know that, But again we don't want to
talk about that.
Speaker 1 (37:49):
Say that Jerry and then Jerry's needs a job or
needs some money or need something. So I'm gonna leave
that piece alone. I could get into that, and we
don't want to even hear it. Then it's just it's
a disgrunt with Jerry's that didn't get the opportunities, that
couldn't coach that was no good, all the things. So, guys,
all the things that Nico's heard, I've heard, Oh yes
(38:11):
I have. I've heard them the last ten years, just
trying to sit in this chair in my basement and
tell the truth, or in the studio and tell the
truth to you all. I've heard all those things. Greedy
wants a job, needs money, Oh yes I have. Oh yes,
so it's coach Beard. Oh yes, we have. Who's got
(38:31):
three places?
Speaker 2 (38:32):
We laugh on the phone all the time about it.
Boy boy boy. We didn't needest people in the world,
aren't we? Without a doubt?
Speaker 1 (38:38):
If you listen to people on this Twitter in this city,
Oh we wanted something, sounded like Nico.
Speaker 2 (38:47):
Athletes.
Speaker 1 (38:48):
Athletes are going to get paid from here on out.
Female athletes are going to get paid from here on out.
It's the nature of the business. The universities are going
to have to share this dang money. And it's about time, period,
point blank. Guys, still fun to watch great games, like
I told you, or that somebody hit me with it yesterday.
Speaker 2 (39:06):
You know they say, Michigan, Kentucky spend the months.
Speaker 1 (39:08):
How do we know until somebody shows me something, Guys,
I don't care. I just gonna pull for the games.
The NCAA, who did not put a noose on this
and a choke holde it's their fault and you'll see
them say no more often.
Speaker 2 (39:27):
That's all.
Speaker 1 (39:27):
And the young man, just like Niko right now, is
trying to find a landing spot, and.
Speaker 2 (39:32):
His value will be his value.
Speaker 1 (39:35):
If it's four million dollars good, if it's three point
five good, if it's one point five good, if it's
five hundred thousand good, whatever it is, he will find
his value and.
Speaker 2 (39:44):
He will have to play for that. That's what this is.
Speaker 1 (39:48):
But until we have contracts and proof and it's tax
day to where I know they're paying tax on this money,
and they better pay tax on his money athletes. You're
not kids anymore. I don't want to hear it. I
don't want hear you parentcy and that they're ignorant. If
you don't pay tax on this money, then you deserve
to go to jail like anybody else that didn't pay
their taxes. I paid mine, so anyway, and we got
(40:09):
to get to break. When we come back, we're gonna
talk a little bit about the NBA Playoffs that starts tonight.
Thank you, Sheen. Talk well, Annie, let me tell you what.
We only have about two minutes and it's a great finish.
We'll get into the NBA. Watch it tonight. I am
gonna watch NBA Playoffs for my payout for my contest,
because I just had a person donate the twelve dollars
(40:32):
and fifty cent that they had won two de oriols.
I mailed the checks Friday, I swear I did, so
you're gonna have to do it yourself today. Check your
mailbox and that is for Palmer, Kelly Weber, and Lassier,
Todd Laser, Todd Weber, Karen Kelly, and Jay Palmer. Your
checks have been mailed. Michael Finwick, your check has not
(40:52):
been mailed. I'm gonna mail that out today. I missed
it when Rick, my producer, last week, he sent it
to me. I don't know how I missed your name.
I did not mail your check, but the other four
checks have been mailed. That means I still owe three
more people money. So Michael, I'm sending yours today. I
have not sent yours, but the other four, Jay Palmer,
(41:14):
Karen Kelly, Todd Weber and Todd Laser your checks have
been mailed.
Speaker 2 (41:19):
So you'll have to Todd, You'll have to come to
Deruriels today.
Speaker 1 (41:24):
Donate the twelve to fifty by piece of pizza, enjoy
yourself some music, make sure the live auctions, which I
have to.
Speaker 2 (41:30):
Do that yourself.
Speaker 1 (41:31):
I'm sorry I've already mailed those out, but I appreciate
the offer.
Speaker 2 (41:35):
He said.
Speaker 1 (41:35):
He wanted me just to donate the money that he won,
like most people usually do. But you have to come out,
enjoy yourself and you know, have a little fun. I'm
going to be there today for sure. So Hey, you
got one minute? Which game?
Speaker 2 (41:47):
What do you think Golden State win tonight or not.
Speaker 3 (41:52):
I think they got a strong chance, but it's not
gonna be an easy road for we saw what happened
last time there in the plans do nothing's guaranteed. You
get a tournament, play NJA, tournament, NBA play ins. It's
it's a toss up. It's whoever comes to play that night.
And the Grizzlies aren't there, aren't a slack. They were
forty eight and thirty four, just like the Warriors were
(42:13):
throughout in the West.
Speaker 2 (42:13):
So they're a great game.
Speaker 1 (42:16):
And tell people, Kentucky fans, I know you're still upset,
but that sharp kid.
Speaker 2 (42:22):
A god, he chunked the ball.
Speaker 1 (42:24):
I mean, good gosh, that boy's got a fifty inch
vertalalra assity. You have to watch ESPN. They show highlighted
that kid. My goodness, he can play. So anyway, great basketball, Andy,
We're out of here, God willing, will be back tomorrow.
Love you all, Bye bye,
Welcome back to EVE Sports Radio. It's April the fifteenth,
twenty twenty five. It's Tuesday, and it's fairly overcast, but
it's going to be a decent day today. Not as
warm as yesterday, but a decent day.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Everyone knows that this is EVE.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Sports Radio, and everyone knows the phone number is five
zero two five one seventy nine hundred. That's five zero
two five seven one seventy nine hundred. We've got Shannon

welcome back. Everyone knows that my co host is my
(00:39):
younger son, Anthony Eves. Anthony, welcome to the show.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Hey, how are you doing this morning?
Speaker 2 (00:45):
I'm good. I'm good, Anthony, I'm really good.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
I've got so many paper notes before I can throw
it to you that I have to make sure I
get everything in. I've got so much, and I've got
to go back and find it, because Anthony, I've got
too many things to remember in your sixty six. You
just can't handle it. But we know that we're going
to jump into this transfer portal. We're going to talk
about Niko the quarterback at tennessee all the national news,
(01:12):
the four million dollars and all the uproar. We're going
to speak about that directly and I'm going to give
people my view on it, and I don't have a
dog in the fight. That's the one great thing, yes,
that I'm getting. I'm watching right down on the ESPN
Haley van Litt being drafted by the Chicago Sky, which
you'll get into.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Eleventh. Overall, congratulations the Haley former Cardinals.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
We've got Georgia Amore any that little girl can score it,
and we'll talk about that. I'll let you give that later.
But number six, I mean to the miss six. So
we've got a lot of things to talk about. But
before we get into all of those things, Anthony, I
want to do the news of the day. And first
and foremost, it's the fifteenth, Anthy. If you didn't know that,
(01:56):
it's tax time, and if you didn't know that, you
better have your taxes turned into day. The post office
will be busy today. So I just want everyone to
understand that that.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Is that day.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Yes, that is that day, April the fifteenth, that goes
down in infamy.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Anthony. Everybody understands. Oops.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Either you're happy you're getting something back, or you're sad
like myself wondered how much they're going to bust my
head open for this year. It's one of the two, Anthony.
There's no in between around tax time. But all I
can say is this, I got my taxes in on time.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Anne.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
I come home yesterday and my wife says, hey, guess
what what? Well, I just saw the email. I said,
what what Our tax consultant wants back from you. I'm like, oh,
when she sent it sometime last week. I'm like, oh,
that's good, Anthony, Mama got me. She got me. But
(02:52):
it's simple. The things she wants is simple, so I'll
get it to her. But yep, it is the fifteenth.
So if you had forgotten, I just wanted to remind
you it's here now. Second thing, Anthony, piece of business
that we have to talk about is the Oriol's fundraiser. Guys,
you have seen all the devastation. I mean, we have
(03:15):
seen all of the devastation that has transpired throughout Louisville
and Kentucky. Liza been lost through this flood, and what
a horrific time that some people are going through. I
watched some of my sponsors, Christy at Riverroad Barbecue and
(03:35):
they're trying to again re establish their business right there
at Zorn Avenue and River Road. Railroad Barbecue some of
the best barbecue in the city of Louisville. And I'm
watching on the news and she is speaking about there
was nine feet of water on their property and then
they're building nine feet of water. So, guys, there are
(03:55):
a lot of people that are going through a lot
of things that we need to try to help, and
that's what the Orioles is doing.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
So we had Lori dioron yesterday. Used to be a
University of Louisville cheerleader, really really great. She's an auctioneer.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
So if you need an auctioneer, Lourie's the one because
she really knows how to raise money.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
I've seen her do it. I've been at some of
her functions.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
I was speaking about today's event at the di Oreos
on River Road right here truly again a driver from
US forty two and River Road on the left hand side.
It goes all day. Now, I do want to get
some things out. The live auction and the music is
from five to nine this afternoon. But as for the proceeds,
(04:44):
a lot of the proceeds will be going to the
restaurants up and down River Road to help their employees.
So again I wanted to make sure that we let
everyone know all day today, but there will be auction items.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
All of the auction money goes to them.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
And also there'll be music played this afternoon five to nine,
not all day, but still please try to stick your
head in support the community, all of them, from Captain's
Quarters to River Road Barbecue. I mean, it's just amazing
what has happened the Pine Room, what has happened on
River Road with all our restaurants. So without having Thunderrover Louisville,
(05:26):
which was a huge fundraiser, we're gonna try to get
it in. So right now, I just hate to tell you.
Kim mcpete's hit me saying busy week, maybe a short notice.
He's gonna let me know on our show, which i'll
get to. We always have a show at Wagner's Restaurant.
So I sent Ken mcpete something this morning about five forty.
(05:47):
You all know he was the Derby and Oaks winner
from last year. Great guy Lexington, guy played basketball. Wife's
a huge Cardinal fan. But we're all going back and forth.
We're getting that show together. Lee Wagner is saying that
he going to try to get Bob Badford at the
show either the twenty eighth or twenty ninth of April.
But let's make sure that we support the Orioles today.
(06:09):
Let's get out and let's make sure so we can
help dey Orioles, support all the restaurants up and down
River Road, all of them. And think about the poor
vendors that miss thunder over Louisville. Guys that I mean,
this is thunder over Louisville. We probably I guarantee you
as sixty seventy percent of a lot of the vendor's
income for the year that was canceled.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
So if you can do, that's all that I want
to tell you. If you can help, please help.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
But today at the Oriols we have a fundraiser for
all the other restaurants on River Road. And like I
told you, I'll get into it later today about the
show at Wagner's either the twenty eighth or twenty ninth of.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
April, Derby week. Of course, Lee.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Wagner, whoever show there, we bring in great people. And
Kim mcpete right now I was telling me he might
be just like last time. He ran in, gave us
five minutes and had to get out because it's such
everybody is so busy that week of Derby, but they
always fine time. So anyway, Anthony, that is the news
that I had to get out. Oh no, it's not in.
(07:17):
I just want people to know that. On the news yesterday,
talking to a real good friend of mine, he says,
have you seen the houses that are slipping into Harrits Creek.
I said, no, I haven't. I said, what are you
talking about? Yeah, you need to check the news. Houses
are slipping into Harrit's Creek. Well, guys, I grew up
(07:38):
on Harrotts Creek. I moved on Herrits Creek in nineteen
sixty nine. My home does not back up to the creek.
I'm at the far end of the neighborhood, but I
could walk to the creek in honestly, three minutes. I
walked that entire shore martin dumbarn Idea. We used to
ride our mini bikes all up and down on the
right side of Herrot's Creek going out out to the
(08:00):
Ohio River.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
So people were.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Saying houses falling, houses fall I'm like darn any houses
other than in my neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
And Sheela said, how do you know.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
I said, I've walked and ridden and driven that area
since nineteen sixty nine all the way to seventy eight.
Every summer it was my little hangout, my little quiet place.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
We just go catch frogs, fish a little bit.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Martin and I would talk junk and just whatever. We
drive our MANI bikes back there. Whatever kids would do.
And I said, that's weird.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
I haven't heard.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
So I call my brother. He says, I haven't heard.
Then a person says to me, Ryan says, it's on
the news right now.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
I turn on WDRB last night, it's eleven pm.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
The back of those homes are in my mother's neighborhood.
And I've been waiting because it has been eroding away
you off for the last fifty years. It's really catastrophic.
They're going to in my opinion, I hate this. Either
they're gonna have to. I yes, I guess you could
pay and have a company come out drop poles in
(09:13):
the ground fifty or sixty feet deep and above the ground,
probably at least fifty or sixty feet, and then put
up a retaining wall and leave those homes and fill
back in the dirt to make sure that you've got
level ground for those homes. But I'm sure that's going
to be super costly or they're going to take those
(09:35):
houses down. Guys, they're just that close to falling in.
I used to cut the grass of both of the homes.
One gentleman you used to own it was mister Austin.
The original owner of the home was mister Austin. He
was a preacher. And the other one was Clay, a
relator everybody remembers. Everybody knows Frank Clay, a realator, and
(09:57):
both of them are deceased now. They were the original
own owners and at that time their backyards were probably
fifteen yards if true backyard before it dropped off. Now
the drop off is dead underneath these homes. So, guys,
there's no way that Justin County can allow those homes.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
To fall into Harot's Creek. There's no way. So, guys,
it's going to be really catastrophic.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
I'm waiting to see how they handle this, but it's
gonna have to be handled immediately. And from the pictures
that I saw, Anthony, it's not safer. I know who
the owners are I'm not going to call them out.
I've never met them personally, but I know who they
are and.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
They better be safe.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
I don't I'm not sure if they're letting them stay
in those homes, but something's going to have to happen
immediately because if there was another bad reign, they could
truly slide into its creek, which there's no way Metro
government can allow that, no way. So guys, there are
a lot of people that this is really really catastrophic.
(10:57):
That's all I wanted people to know. I mean, people's
lives have been changed for forever. So we're already at
seven sixteen. We won't get to break any and when
we come back, we're gonna throw it to you at
a little national news and then we're gonna get into
the news of the day, which is this name egined
Likeness portal and this Nico thing that has captured America.
(11:19):
Supposedly he wants four million dollars. Tennessee didn't want to
pay it. North Carolina was supposedly going to be a
suitor at three point five million. Just to let you know,
no one knows, because last night I read the North
Carolina and Nico had come to an agreement at three
point five million this morning, there's no agreement, which is
(11:41):
what I've been trying to tell people.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
We don't know who's telling the truth. This is Esports Radio.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
After the break, we're gonna get into it, and Heaves
will be back with the national news in a second.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Welcome back to Eves Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
I'm gonna throw it to Anthony and let us give
us a little national news before we get into the
true news of the day. And it's not about ni COO.
It's just about the thought process of the payment of
college athletes.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
So anty what you got for national.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
News, brother, Yeah, probably some of the national news were
getting into. We did speak about our NBA draftees. Obviously,
we had Paige Beckers from Yukon going once to Dallas
with the number six pick. We did have Georgia Moore
went to the Washington Mystics, so congratulations to her huge accomplishment,
And obviously we did speak up earlier. We did have
Haley van Liff former Louis Vicar know actually had TCU
(12:30):
horn Frogs going out to play with her former teammate
Angel Reese at the Chicago Sky So those are the
three we want to just notarize for yes, those amazing compliments,
something that's not easy to do at any level of
any sport.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
No, so really great.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
I mean, think Paige Becker anytime someone is fifty forty
and eighty Anthony, fifty from the two, forty from the three,
and eighty from the free throw line. Real player, Georgia
amore Anthony, this little girl, I'm sorry you this you
a young lady. Six hundred points to undred assist.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Anthony.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
She's shooting runners off the wrong leg from fifteen feet
going away from the basket. She's got every shot in
the game. I mean, you all need to see the
highlight tape of that young lady. Mike, I just watched
it this morning. I'm like, I needed to watch her
at University of Kentucky. I don't know if there was
a game I should have Anthony. She's got an assortment
(13:26):
on a ray. She's a little scoring machine. Six hundred
points to another assist. And then I'm so happy for
Haley van Liz. She's gone through so much. Anthony transferring
to LSU talk a lot to a lot of degree
from Cardinal fans for leaving LSU didn't go as well.
As she wanted to, even though they did reach the
Final four, which I tell people she's a starter on
the final four team. But again, expectations are crazy on
(13:49):
athletes today, Anthony, and I was one of them, and
I put the same expectations on my players, so I'm
not bailing myself out. But I'm glad to see that
she was drafted eleventh by the sh Cargo Sky, so
she gets to play with Angel Race again, their teammates again.
So congratulations to all the draftees and Anthony. There's a
(14:10):
new league to three on three league getting it crazy.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
I think Page is going to make somewhere around eighty
five to ninety thousand dollars this year, and she'll make
two hundred and twenty thousand dollars in the three on
three leagues, so I'm glad there's a lot. I'm glad
people are able to make money. Guys, there was a
time when you had to play an NBA to reap
any benefits at all, apenny from all your work period,
(14:36):
point blank.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Guys.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
I want you'all to let y'all know I'm not crying
about it. And I was happy at my first salary
at forty thousand dollars really happy nineteen eighty two, forty thousand.
But I do want y'all to know my dad made
more than I did. Just let y'all know my dad,
microbiologist Hugh Manna, William Cherry, Dave Jones hired my dad
(15:00):
to run the laboratory, maybe more than I did. So
I'm glad. I'm sorry, guys, You're never gonna get me
to say I'm not. I worked too hard for forty
thousand bucks, period, point blank. And if I'd taken the dime,
my dad would have killed me. First thing, I signed
for free? And then am I happy about that?
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Note? Did I? Yes?
Speaker 1 (15:20):
I can take a lot of Texas antony. I signed
for free. I don't care what anyone says, no offense or.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
But's about it? All that everybody was making money. Everybody.
That's a lie.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
But you know it's easy to lie. It makes you
feel good and the people. It makes people feel good. Oh,
you were getting Dereck Smith also, I can speak for him.
I'm telling you so, guys, it just is what it is.
So I'm just glad that the young ladies are able
to go out and get some financial gains from all
(15:52):
the work that they have put in because it did
not come easy. Patri Becker two knee operations and you
know how menytimes she heard herself had to come bouncing back.
I mean, a little more girl. The only way she
has the skills she has, she had to put in
all kinds of hours, Anthony, because she is skilled. Have
you ever watched her play any Have you ever seen
(16:14):
Georgia a More play at all?
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (16:17):
I watched her play something during her regular season and
in the tournament, so she was she was phenomenal.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Obviously.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
I know they had a couple of close calls even
in the NCAA tournament. But if she wasn't on that team,
I hate to see it. I don't even think they
would have been a tournament contention team.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Absolutely, I'm with you one hundred percent, one hundred percent.
Any that little girl was a game changer, oh man.
And the same thing with Haley. So I'm happy for
all three of them. Job well done. What else we have? Brother?
Speaker 2 (16:42):
What else do we have?
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Yep?
Speaker 3 (16:46):
And also the big game we wanted to get into.
We were talking about a lot with the transfers in
the NILS. Obviously, the big controversial one is we have
with the Tennessee quarterback Nico. Obviously, he was released from
the team just a few days ago. And obviously he's
contensually signed with unc Tar Hills and Bill Belichick for
a five million dollar in IL deal. Obviously, the big
(17:06):
thing was that he won a four million dollar in
IL package upgrade rays from his original two point five
that he had signed with Tennessee last year coming into
his next season. And so you know, Tennessee.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
I just said on ESPN that North Carolina has backed
out of that agreement.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
He is not going to North Carolina.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
They're saying Tulane and UCLA now, so again continue we again,
these these crazy dollars that are being thrown out. Myself,
I just don't believe it, but we're gonna talk about it.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Continue yep.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
And obviously the three contenders that they have further replacements
for Nico at Tennessee. Obviously they're kind of in a
they're in a short short staff bundle here when it
comes to finding quarterbacks out there on the market that
they can think contend against the SEC talent. The number
one option would be would be Hayines King, which is
the Georgia Tech quarterback last year I think Haynes s
(18:01):
King did have a great season last year for the
team that they did have. He had the phenomenal games.
He's a dual threat quarterback. Not as great throwing, but
he is versatile getting out of the pocket and an
excellent scrambler, so that is also an option for him.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Didn't have Georgia Georgia Tech game. Anthony.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
That Georgia Georgia Tech game last year made me a believer.
I thought Georgia would just maul them. It was a
ball game the entire way. So yes, he is. He
is one candidate. Who's another one.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Then the second candidate is Avery Johnson who's a quarterback
at Kansas State right now. He is also one of
the good ones. He is more of a throwing quarterback.
He has a little bit more maybe a little bit
of a pocket presidence whis come to be in mobility,
but he likes to do more of an aerosolt Avery
Johnson does. And then their last option they had is
sam as Sean Levitt from Arizona State out there. Obviously,
(18:51):
he was a quarterback that was with the phenomenal running
back that had to kind of make his mark towards
the end of the season, saying that he was one
of the best running backs in college basketball outside of
Ashton GenZ. His name is.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
I love that kid. I like him better than asking gent.
I will find it during the break, but I do.
But they did not. When they got it, they were
just like Indian Anthony got knows playoffs to the real
game came out of there. That's all Arizona State. But
I do they did have qualities offensive players.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
They did.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Yes, So those are the three candidates out there to
replace Nico.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
So here's the deal. I'm gonna let you all.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
I've got a tape from Lashawn McCoy running back from
Pittsburgh talking about this situation with Tennessee and Nico the quarterback.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
And these crazy dollars.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
And I've heard all kinds of things, Like someone close
to me we were talking about they say that in
men's basketball that Michigan has got the number one payroll, okay,
and Kentucky's got the number two payroll. And I ask them, again,
how do we know? Has anyone seen a contract on
any player? I said to Anthony, I said, Anthony, if
(20:10):
it was you and we were coming and we were
going through this, I wouldn't tell us so what you made,
I would negotiate without a doubt, but I wouldn't be
out running my mouth saying this is what my son's getting.
And the teams are not showing you written proven contracts.
So how do we know. We've got everybody estimating all
the jerrys, and I mean, that's what we do. I understand,
(20:31):
but I'm trying to talk fact to people. What do
we actually know?
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Wasn't it true? Anthony?
Speaker 1 (20:37):
We heard this year that somebody said that Alabama had
thrown what five million dollars or ten million dollars that
old way.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
And I'm guys, I'm not saying Alabama did this.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
I don't want you all thinking that I'm saying that,
but we were hearing these crazy rumors. I'm just saying, guys,
in my opinion, I hope, but I just don't believe
the money is where it is other than I would.
I told you this, Handy, and I'm gonna tell everybody
when you say the Manning brand at Texas, I believe
that if you told me forty million dollars a Manning,
(21:10):
it's a brand. The name is big, no matter what
anybody wants to say, it's a legitimate brand of its own.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
It is from daddy to two sons super Bowl champions.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
The dad was never super Bowl champion Anny, but he
may have been the best of the three. That is
a brand of itself. I can believe that because of
what it brings. But these other things, I'm still a
little leery. And we're gonna talk about that. So great
job on those three names at the research and those
three quarterbacks that are in the transfer portal. So we're
at seven thirty, Shannon, I want you to play my
(21:46):
clip from la Sean McCoy running back from Pittsburgh University
talking about this Nico deal. And I want people to
know I don't have a dog in a fight. I
could care less if Tennessee's good or bad. Guys, I
really they're not Kentucky, they're not Louisvillo, they're not Indiana.
They're close, and I like to talk about them Rocky
Top to give Kentucky fans our time. But guys, I
(22:10):
don't have a dog in the fight. I don't know
Josh Haipel and I don't know Nico.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
And his family. So I want you to listen to
this clip.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
And then I'm gonna go to bro. I'm gonna come
back and speak to your second and we'll go to break.
When we come back, I'm gonna try to make some
reason of this for you all, play it for me, Shannon.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
And because it's like once the players and this is
an NFL in college, once the players have.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Power, it's a whole issue.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
It's like everybody goes in this panic mode, right, But
for all these years, the NCAA have been taking money
from these young kids.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
For years. You went back to college stories. Let me
give you one. Now, at Pittsburgh, we.
Speaker 4 (22:47):
Don't have how much of superstars like Texas, at least
not in college. On the pros, we killed them pro
but in college we didn't have all that. And I
remember being in these games where first game of the year,
we're playing against South Florida.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
They're a number fourteen in the country. We beat him.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
You know, your boy went off two touchdowns like two
and some of the yards we went though, right, And
I remember, like, you know, all these shady for Heisman,
you know, T shirts. Everybody in the crowd have my
stuff on, and you know what, I'm going back to
my room and me and my boys just trying to like, yo,
damn were hungry to nothing. Right, we bought up and
be hungry and we couldn't go out there and get
enough food to Now I call my mom my pops
to you know. But like they're making money off of stuff,
(23:22):
we ain't getting nothing. Of course, now that Rose has changed,
it's an issue. I remember in college where you see
a guy goes to the pros. It's a really really
good pro But in college, dam he ain't starting with
this guy. He started this guy and the guys he
didn't start over. They working somewhere else.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
They not have interested sports, no war. Why did that happen?
Because the coach maybe got in.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
His feelings or got mad or didn't want to play you,
maybe he had relationships with someone else. Happens all the time.
And now when the Roses, when the player, it's a problem, Niko,
I'll say this, if he was a better player, right,
and this is this true rever, If he's a better player,
if this was Shador Sanders or this is King Ward,
they would get that four minut holes right, because he's
that good. We need to get him. And then now
it's like the president's oh well, the team coach, they
stepped up. No, y'all didn't he he didn't.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Have enough power to get this to handle this.
Speaker 4 (24:02):
But I guess what the next superstar quarterback require. That's
really really that good. That man as that most of
that that team that franchise today at university, they gonna
get this thing done.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
So, guys, when we come back from break, I'm just
gonna explain it to you so that I can make
some sanity.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Of this to you. This is EVE Sports Radio for
numbers five zero two, five nine hundred.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
We'll talk to you in a second. Welcome back to
EVE Sports Radio. Seven thirty sixth April the fifteenth. Don't
forget Anthony.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
It's tax day. You got your taxes in.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
Anthony might have been, though, I'm not. I don't wait
till the last minute.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
Okay, I didn't neither Anthy. Your mother did me in.
She said that, by the way, you need to get
some things turned in.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
I said, I've been waiting to hear about that.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
But anyway, here's the issue with the Nico guys and
the payment of athletes. I understand it's so normal and
the money is so abnormal, really high, that it's hard for
me to believe the institutions are going to try to
put in a twenty million dollars salary cap once the
(25:16):
legislation is done, and hopefully that will be very soon.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Judge Wilkins is working.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
On that, which means I've had directly told to me
that teams are going to try to pay ten eleven
million to the football team, five to six million, maybe
seven to the basketball program, which puts you again at
eighteen million, and they're going to try to leave two
million dollars for the Olympic sports because there are players
(25:45):
those sports that need to receive something. Got me. That's
the formula. It doesn't mean that kids still cannot go
out and get shoe deals or clothing deals just like
professional players, because you cannot limit people's income. You heard
Lashawan McCoy, the running back, speaking about his Heisman year,
(26:07):
and all I can.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Do is the analogy is used.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
Daryl Griffin, Lamar Jackson got me, John Wall, Karl Anthony
Towns got me. Just to take think about it. All
the jerseys that were being sold were their names on them.
They couldn't make a dime. So McCoy told you that
(26:29):
they were going back to the dorm trying to find money,
calling their parents.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Mark Clayton and I told.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
You all the truth. People don't like to hear of
the truth. We would put our money together. Scooter Rodney,
Mark Clayton, Wiley Brown, Derek Smith stayed in United so
he wasn't with us, but we stayed in Miller and
I had a blow up pental wagon and Scooter had
an old, old Buick and we would ride to Kings
(26:55):
on Broadway, pick up the chicken and come back and
we'd all eat one at a time. Don't you get
to before everybody else got their second guys? That was college.
So everyone's gonna sit here and tell you, Anthony, Oh
but Jerry, that's back then. There were seventy two thousand
people who watched me play in the Final four in
nineteen eighty two. Seventy two thousand.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
I don't want to hear that.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
And the NCAA made all that money. You got me
back to back nights in nineteen eighty two, there were
seventy two thousand. There were forty plus thousand when Houston
played UCLA in the Astrodome in Houston. Elvin Hayes Kareem Okay,
I just.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Want y'all to know.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Now, stop kidding yourself about how much money has been
made by this NCAA. Don't feel sorry for them. I'm sorry,
I'm not. I'm not gonna let you. That's all there
is to it. And in the day, if they would
have proven that athlete, it happened to Louisville player's, Kentucky players, India, everywhere.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
If a package opened up had some money. If this the.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Player was ineligible, how could he take a dime? Are
you kidding me? Guys, we're comical. I've said it all
the time. I didn't know it. My dad used to
tell me this, and I'm like, boy's preaching to me,
Why are you preaching to me?
Speaker 2 (28:15):
When the bottom gets paid in America, it's always an uproar.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
But so much money has been made. Don't say millions,
say billions. You've got CTE athletes. They don't pay for it.
They could care less. They send you out of their
after your eligibility is over.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
It's over. This is amateur who come on and they
make billions. So then I heard the same story.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Why I played it from the Sean McCoy that played
at Pittsford that we mark Clayton, and I told you all,
which is one hundred per cent factual, about putting our
money together, hungry at night in college. My brothers can
tell you the same thing in Kentucky and at Ball State.
The stories of the same cafetiers weren't open, wasn't unlimited
(29:00):
at all. This and that like it is today, Thank
you Lord, it is today because they've been making money
on this for seventy or eighty years now. Tennessee, Josh
hypo Anthony is the one who threw out there, no
one's bigger than a program. I agree with that one
hundred percent. I agree with that one hundred percent. I've
(29:24):
talked to people say no one, Jerry, No, he's biggeran
a program. I agree with them one hundred percent. That
is your decision, coach to say no, you got me.
But Tennessee is the one that has come public again.
Have you all heard one word from Nico other than
Tennessee and saying he mispractice. There's one tape out there
(29:45):
that's saying he was renegotiating during the playoff games. And
all I asked Anthony was did Nico play in the
college football playoffs? Yes, he did, so guys, but we're
hearing all the maybe what if it always is the athlete? Okay,
are they asking for maybe too much? The money is crazy?
(30:06):
You know my show is based on I'm going to
tell you the truth. Absolutely, no one will pay what
they don't have. No one will pay what they're not making.
That's all I'm telling you, period, point blank. It won't happen.
They won't put themselves out of business. They will say no,
I've got no problem with Tennessee saying, then enter the
(30:30):
transfer portal. Do your thing, young man, and we're going
to enter the transfer portal and find a replacement for you,
which is exactly what's going to transpire. So everybody that's uproar,
the people that came out publicly was Tennessee. So the earnest,
in my opinion, is Tennessee to say and show this
(30:51):
contract from they were supposedly paying him in high school. Again,
I'm not saying this is factual. This is just all
the hears say that he had a million dollar deal
and they were paying him Nico at high school X
amount of dollars got me, which means, if that is true,
they believed in the young man's talent, they thought he
would be a talented player. They were going to risk
(31:13):
putting out a ten million dollar offer over the four
year period and pay him some in high school. If
it is true, I'm not saying it's true. I'm just
giving you all the thought process. So if you're going
to put up ten million dollars to a high school
kid because you think he's going to be good enough,
and then the young man says, I want to go
(31:34):
from two to four, well, if you've already put up
ten and you know he's only going to stay one
more year, guys, let's stop it. If you think your
investment was that good, which is ten million dollars, and
he is, you think that his ability is to take
you all again back to the college football playoffs, which
he did, and the team, what's the big deal?
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Okay? And if it is a.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
Big deal, all you do is tell he is agent,
which they all have, or parent. No, hit the transfer portal.
Best of luck, we'll hit the transfer portal. Sorry it
didn't work out. All that had to be said, but
that's not what was said. No one's bigger than the program.
I want people that want to be here. Okay, I
(32:19):
got you? What have all the schools done, all of
them are going to the transfer portal, and all of
them are getting players. You know what those transfer portal
players are, Anthony. So people understand those players are renegotiating
their contracts. Only difference is they said I'm going in
the transfer portal. So there's no hate. So that when
(32:40):
Louisvean and Kentucky get great teams, and they're both putting
together great teams, I have no problem with when they
put theirselves in the transfer portal. They're renegotiating their contracts,
that's all. But there's not the super duper hate that
Nico's going through. I still have it, and if someone has,
(33:00):
I got friends, guys, they ain't scared of Jerry's. They'll
tell me, trust me, and if they can find somebody
can find me to where I see the Nico regime
publicly saying four million dollars I'm hitting the road, then
I'll want to hear it and I will report it
to you. I got no dog in this fight. I
don't care anything about Nico. I can't even pronounce his
last name. I'm not gonna sit here and kid you,
(33:20):
but I'm just telling you the thought process of what's
going on. So since Tennessee has stepped forth with this,
I want to see Tennessee present the contract that they
present it to the young man that he's not honoring.
Don't throw out hearsay, show me the contract. It's not
against the rules, it's legal, that's all. That's why I
(33:41):
have a problem with Tennessee. Dan, If you're not gonna
show me the contract, shut the hell up and move
on and get in the transfer portal. It didn't work out,
But that's not what's going on. It didn't work out,
that's all. And we're all going to the transfer portal.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
No matter who you're a fan of.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
And you're getting play and it's going to make your
team exciting to watch. And it is and we watched
it last year and I enjoyed it. I don't care
what anyone says.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
So you all.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
Take a step back, because everybody we've signed that we
are all happy that we've gotten negotiated their contract through
the transfer portal. I just think Tennessee's thrown the young
man out there instead of saying we can't do it
and ICO sorry it didn't work out, like professionals, move on,
Tennessee goes to the transfer Portal. Guys, have you ever
(34:35):
been to a Tennessee football game? Have you ever seen
that stadium? How full it is? Have you ever have
you ever gone and seen one hundred and six thousand people?
Have you ever seen that river packed with boats. I'm
not saying it's right, guys, I'm just telling you it's
the way of the world. Athletes are highly overpaid. I
have told you all that my picture is in every
(34:56):
post office in America. Don't hit me with the hypocrite
stuff I've said for ten years since I've been on
this radio, and I'm gonna say it again. Anthony, my
pictures in every post office. I made a living and
raised my family through athletics.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
What a blessing. I love.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
University of Louisville got Lee, Anthony, Boy, you weren't even
born yet. But I left Louisville coach Crumb in nineteen
ninety nine and went to the Charlotte Hornets at two
hundred and fifty seven thousand dollars. I've never made that
much money in my life in one year. That's no
money today, but that was a lot of money back then.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
Got me.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
And when I went and told Coach Crumb who was
like my second dad, straight up best man in the
world of my father. I listened to Coach crumbre on't
anybody when he brought me in. You know, my dad
would just turn my butt up. And when Coach Crumb
wrote me in and gave me that letter where he
wrote me up for saying the four letter word to players, saying, Jerry,
you're smarter than that, don't show you ignorance, I was
mad at him a bit. That man loved me, He
(35:55):
was trying to educate me. He was a great man.
You got me a great man. But I still left
for that two hundred and fifty seven thousand dollars went
to Charlotte and added on to my NBA pension guys,
which I hate to tell you. When all the people
were saying Jerry's wanted a job at Louisville, It's the
last thing I needed was a job. My dad told
(36:16):
me to count dollars and pennies when I was young,
always did and always will. I made the right decision,
got me, period, But Coach Crumb. I left Coach Crumb
the best of word. Coach didn't throw me under the bus.
We offered yes, and I'm being honest with you. Louisville
came up with a pretty good package before I left,
and I said to Coach Crumb, God's on this truth, Coach,
(36:38):
I didn't make a deal to get a deal.
Speaker 2 (36:41):
Well, times have changed. Times have changed, that's all. Times
have changed.
Speaker 1 (36:47):
So I want Tennessee go get another great quarterback, and
I will pull for Hey.
Speaker 2 (36:52):
I'll give Cat fans a hard time about anything. I
hope you're good.
Speaker 1 (36:56):
I do, but I don't care. But I wish Tennessee
you would have handled it differently. Until somebody can prove
to me, send me the audio to where you hear
Nico publicly saying that Tennessee didn't do X, Tennessee didn't
do why, or we want four million dollars, or we're walking,
or we try to renegotiate before the playoff game, and
(37:18):
all the things that I've heard. I've heard these things,
but I just don't know any of them. How can
we prove it unless the person that throws out the accusations,
which is Tennessee, proves it.
Speaker 2 (37:32):
That's all.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
And guys, if y'all want to think that all these
coaches are great guys and great people, they're bad people
in every profession.
Speaker 2 (37:41):
That's all I'm telling every profession. Don't we know that?
Oh we know that, But again we don't want to
talk about that.
Speaker 1 (37:49):
Say that Jerry and then Jerry's needs a job or
needs some money or need something. So I'm gonna leave
that piece alone. I could get into that, and we
don't want to even hear it. Then it's just it's
a disgrunt with Jerry's that didn't get the opportunities, that
couldn't coach that was no good, all the things. So, guys,
all the things that Nico's heard, I've heard, Oh yes
(38:11):
I have. I've heard them the last ten years, just
trying to sit in this chair in my basement and
tell the truth, or in the studio and tell the
truth to you all. I've heard all those things. Greedy
wants a job, needs money, Oh yes I have. Oh yes,
so it's coach Beard. Oh yes, we have. Who's got
(38:31):
three places?
Speaker 2 (38:32):
We laugh on the phone all the time about it.
Boy boy boy. We didn't needest people in the world,
aren't we? Without a doubt?
Speaker 1 (38:38):
If you listen to people on this Twitter in this city,
Oh we wanted something, sounded like Nico.
Speaker 2 (38:47):
Athletes.
Speaker 1 (38:48):
Athletes are going to get paid from here on out.
Female athletes are going to get paid from here on out.
It's the nature of the business. The universities are going
to have to share this dang money. And it's about time, period,
point blank. Guys, still fun to watch great games, like
I told you, or that somebody hit me with it yesterday.
Speaker 2 (39:06):
You know they say, Michigan, Kentucky spend the months.
Speaker 1 (39:08):
How do we know until somebody shows me something, Guys,
I don't care. I just gonna pull for the games.
The NCAA, who did not put a noose on this
and a choke holde it's their fault and you'll see
them say no more often.
Speaker 2 (39:27):
That's all.
Speaker 1 (39:27):
And the young man, just like Niko right now, is
trying to find a landing spot, and.
Speaker 2 (39:32):
His value will be his value.
Speaker 1 (39:35):
If it's four million dollars good, if it's three point
five good, if it's one point five good, if it's
five hundred thousand good, whatever it is, he will find
his value and.
Speaker 2 (39:44):
He will have to play for that. That's what this is.
Speaker 1 (39:48):
But until we have contracts and proof and it's tax
day to where I know they're paying tax on this money,
and they better pay tax on his money athletes. You're
not kids anymore. I don't want to hear it. I
don't want hear you parentcy and that they're ignorant. If
you don't pay tax on this money, then you deserve
to go to jail like anybody else that didn't pay
their taxes. I paid mine, so anyway, and we got
(40:09):
to get to break. When we come back, we're gonna
talk a little bit about the NBA Playoffs that starts tonight.
Thank you, Sheen. Talk well, Annie, let me tell you what.
We only have about two minutes and it's a great finish.
We'll get into the NBA. Watch it tonight. I am
gonna watch NBA Playoffs for my payout for my contest,
because I just had a person donate the twelve dollars
(40:32):
and fifty cent that they had won two de oriols.
I mailed the checks Friday, I swear I did, so
you're gonna have to do it yourself today. Check your
mailbox and that is for Palmer, Kelly Weber, and Lassier,
Todd Laser, Todd Weber, Karen Kelly, and Jay Palmer. Your
checks have been mailed. Michael Finwick, your check has not
(40:52):
been mailed. I'm gonna mail that out today. I missed
it when Rick, my producer, last week, he sent it
to me. I don't know how I missed your name.
I did not mail your check, but the other four
checks have been mailed. That means I still owe three
more people money. So Michael, I'm sending yours today. I
have not sent yours, but the other four, Jay Palmer,
(41:14):
Karen Kelly, Todd Weber and Todd Laser your checks have
been mailed.
Speaker 2 (41:19):
So you'll have to Todd, You'll have to come to
Deruriels today.
Speaker 1 (41:24):
Donate the twelve to fifty by piece of pizza, enjoy
yourself some music, make sure the live auctions, which I
have to.
Speaker 2 (41:30):
Do that yourself.
Speaker 1 (41:31):
I'm sorry I've already mailed those out, but I appreciate
the offer.
Speaker 2 (41:35):
He said.
Speaker 1 (41:35):
He wanted me just to donate the money that he won,
like most people usually do. But you have to come out,
enjoy yourself and you know, have a little fun. I'm
going to be there today for sure. So Hey, you
got one minute? Which game?
Speaker 2 (41:47):
What do you think Golden State win tonight or not.
Speaker 3 (41:52):
I think they got a strong chance, but it's not
gonna be an easy road for we saw what happened
last time there in the plans do nothing's guaranteed. You
get a tournament, play NJA, tournament, NBA play ins. It's
it's a toss up. It's whoever comes to play that night.
And the Grizzlies aren't there, aren't a slack. They were
forty eight and thirty four, just like the Warriors were
(42:13):
throughout in the West.
Speaker 2 (42:13):
So they're a great game.
Speaker 1 (42:16):
And tell people, Kentucky fans, I know you're still upset,
but that sharp kid.
Speaker 2 (42:22):
A god, he chunked the ball.
Speaker 1 (42:24):
I mean, good gosh, that boy's got a fifty inch
vertalalra assity. You have to watch ESPN. They show highlighted
that kid. My goodness, he can play. So anyway, great basketball, Andy,
We're out of here, God willing, will be back tomorrow.
Love you all, Bye bye,
