Speaker 3 (02:58):
Well, we'll get to that in a All right, it's
time for the final hour. Fun fact facts. Yeah, we're
three fun fun fact Uh this fun fact as a sponsor,
I believe Tim Kaye.
Speaker 7 (03:11):
Yes, it is brought to you by our friends at
Concordia University. Your reminds Masters in Coaching and Athletics Administration.
Speaker 6 (03:18):
It's a fact.
Speaker 7 (03:19):
They're over two thousand graduates of this program in colleges
and high schools in the state of California alone. Accelerate
and elevate your career by joining this vast community of
excellence by going to see UI dot edu slash coaching.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Well, despite my best advice, there is no doubt that
people will go to local pubs. Tonight, they'll go to
an Irish bar. They will be in that space, even
though I warned against it. Here's a fun fact about
Irish pubs.
Speaker 6 (03:50):
Oh you don't.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Say thank you? Two please please. Pubs were often used
as temporary storage places or even morgues for dead bodies.
In fact, in the Corners Act of eighteen forty six,
it to create a dead body had to be brought
to the nearest public house for storage until further arrangements
(04:12):
could be made. Beer sellers were cool and slowed the
decomposition of the bodies.
Speaker 6 (04:18):
Makes sense.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
A little creepy that legislation stayed on the books in
Ireland until nineteen sixty two.
Speaker 6 (04:28):
What sixty years ago was still in law?
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Yeah, it sure was, brother, Wow. And that is your
final hour. Fun fact.
Speaker 6 (04:37):
That is fun And that is a fact.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
Yeah, I don't know how fun. I mean what it is.
What it is. It's time for the quick hits. Everybody
in this quick hits.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
I'll make it quick, y'all.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Yeah. The Lakers are thirteen and four and they beat
the Clippers last night. The Clippers are kind of a
sad state. The Clippers host the Grizzlies on.
Speaker 6 (05:04):
Friday, night, there's your Clipper News, and the.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Lakers host the Mavericks on Friday night, so they're both
gonna play Friday night because they can, because they are
in two separate arenas now. And after the seventeen point
loss last night, Kawhi Leonard was asked, here's more Clipper
News why the team was struggling to stay aloft this
season despite being so much better playing shorthanded in previous seasons.
(05:34):
Leonard's response raised some eyebrows, and he seemed to backtrack
when asked for a follow up. Very odd, You just got.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
To get the right lineups on the corrider. I guess
you know, get some more talent, play play with better taling.
Speaker 8 (05:47):
And you said, like get more talents that like internally externally, I'm.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
Saying, like playing better. I think we all just got
to play better, make shots, little ball, a little bit
more trust one another, and just get better.
Speaker 7 (06:03):
Hmm, So we need better talent than he says we
need to play better talent.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Give me that one more time. I mean, that's a
good follow up.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
I guess you know, get some more talent, play play
a better talent, And to what happens?
Speaker 6 (06:19):
You said, get more talents that like internally, externally.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
I'm saying, like playing better. We all just got to
play better, make shots, move the ball a little bit more,
trust one another, and then just get better.
Speaker 7 (06:33):
Okay he did backtrack there. You're clearly saying you need
better talent around you, and then when you realize what
you said, you, Hey, you know we should all have
the opportunity to clarify what we said.
Speaker 6 (06:44):
I know a way they can get better talent on
the floor. How about you be healthy?
Speaker 5 (06:48):
Right?
Speaker 6 (06:48):
Well, you played an eight of eighteen games this year.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
You're always hurt, all right, all right, you're acting all hardcore.
That's fine. I mean, I understand. He's very disappointing. The
Clippers are disappointed. The whole thing is disappointed.
Speaker 6 (07:01):
I mean, haven't the Clippers done enough to help you out.
Speaker 7 (07:03):
They went out and sold all their draft picks to
Oklahoma City years ago to get you Paul George to
be another superstar next to year, and you couldn't be
healthy enough with him to win anything.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
It's been very disappointing. And we asked Don McClain yesterday.
Speaker 6 (07:17):
They brought James Harden in for you.
Speaker 7 (07:19):
Yes, they brought a Russell Westbrook in for you they
got CP three sitting on the bench collecting dust.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
We asked McClain yesterday if there was a good chance
the Clippers would turn it around and go on a run,
and he said no. So that was very telling.
Speaker 7 (07:34):
Yeah, but that was before Dawn had a whole change
of heart and you know, taking it to them, and
you know the whole attitude taking.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
It to him at Pitties. Right now in baseball, the
Angels in third basement, Anthony red donor and talks about
buying out the final year of his contra My gosh,
potentially bringing a resolution to the seven year, two hundred
and forty five million dollar deal, one of the worst
deals ever.
Speaker 6 (07:58):
He should be arrested for stealing.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Rendon, who spent the entire twenty twenty five season recovering
from hip surgery, is expected to retire. A source set
the thirty five year old is owed thirty eight million
in twenty twenty six. A potential buyout of the remaining
money has not been finalized. Situations like this can often
get complicated, but the expectation is that Rendon will defer
(08:24):
at least part of that money, giving the team more
financial flexibility to address their needs. This offseason, so he
might not get it all he wants. It seems like
he just doesn't want to play anymore.
Speaker 7 (08:36):
I'm gonna give you some numbers here, Petros. His first
season with the Angels was twenty twenty the COVID. You remember,
he won a World Series in the fall of twenty
nineteen with the Washington Nationals. Was highly sought after. Yes,
a free agent, the Angels gave him this big contract.
Twenty twenty COVID year. He played in fifty two of
the sixty six games. Okay, that's close to a full season, right,
(08:57):
It's a shortened season, but you know he played in
most to the games. I'll give him that. Twenty twenty
one he played in fifty eight games. Twenty twenty two
he played in forty seven games. Twenty twenty three he
played in forty three games. Twenty twenty four he played
in fifty seven games.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
And then he's not in the high water mark.
Speaker 6 (09:18):
That's it.
Speaker 7 (09:18):
Well, highest was in twenty twenty one. He played fifty
eight games. Oh oh, he never had more than two
hundred and twenty eight bats in a season. He hit
no more than nine home runs in a season in
an Angel uniform. I mean an absolute danced.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
It's a really bad deal, but it feels like he
doesn't want to even go back and try to play
baseball anymore. They obviously don't want him around anymore, so
hopefully they'll find a resolution.
Speaker 7 (09:44):
I hope the Angels, if they try to work on
a deal with him, win their case and don't have
to pay him as much as they're supposed to, because
this guy has clearly stole from them the last five
years by not playing.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
I know the contracts say what they say, though you
know they owe the money you signed the deal. So
he's got him by the balls. Maybe he'll show up
in a uni. UCLA is three and seven, three and
six and the Big Ten. They head to the Coliseum
on Saturday to take on USC, who's eight and three,
six and two into Big Ten at four point thirty
(10:15):
on an NBC. Trojans are a big twenty one and
a half point favorite. Lincoln Riley here he is mister
personality on the big rivalry game.
Speaker 8 (10:24):
This team, for a lot of reasons, is very very
hungry and excited to play this game and for whatever
else comes after that. We've had a very good year
right on the verge of being a great year, but
a very good year. You know, we put ourselves in
position to really finish strong, you know, and then on
top of this obviously being a rivalry game and all
(10:47):
that comes with that, you know, Senior day, there's just
you know, a million different reasons. And the other thing
we've talked to the guys about is paving the road.
You know, Number one is is you.
Speaker 7 (10:58):
Know, wait a second, Now, this is a guy who
does that really embrace the history of USC but now
he's talking about paving a road for the guys behind you.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Yeah, he's trying to build it. Man. At least he's
saying something.
Speaker 5 (11:09):
You know.
Speaker 8 (11:10):
Number one is is you know, paving the road out
for the guys that are leaving the program to make
sure they leave on a high note. And then the
flip side of that is those guys that are leaving,
really the whole team continue to pave the road for
the next group because that's what's happened here over the
last few years and that's why you've seen this thing
continue to go up and it's going to continue to
do that.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
So, you know, this.
Speaker 8 (11:30):
Week and how we how we prepare and how we
play is a very is very key to all of that.
Speaker 7 (11:35):
If you didn't know any better, I just played to
that audio Petros, you'd be like, oh, wow, this guy
just founded this program a few years ago. Oh that's great,
a new program. They just started college football. That's great
that they'd started and you know, really building something there.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Yeah. No, he's been there a while.
Speaker 6 (11:50):
I mean, there's a whole history before you link in.
Speaker 8 (11:53):
It, because that's what's happened here over the last few years.
And that's why you've seen this thing continue to go
up and and.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
It's going to continue to do that.
Speaker 8 (12:01):
So yeah, he'sous how we prepare and how we play.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Is he's just constantly with the innuendo. And you know,
we have had very almost a great year, almost very
good year. And of course he's going to stay. He'll
be there forever. We'll be dealing with this forever.
Speaker 6 (12:19):
No, No, there are a bunch of schools that are
clamoring to get here.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
He is confirming that he's going to stay forever.
Speaker 8 (12:24):
Yeah, like I said before, I'm I'm right where I'm
supposed to be. So yeah, that's I think, nothing other
than what we're building literally and I love being here.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
And yeah, that's really the end of it.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Well, that doesn't sound that convincing, but he doesn't sound
that convincing about anything. The Rams are nine and two,
they're really good. They've won six in a row. Does
that make people care in Los Angeles? I suppose.
Speaker 7 (12:53):
I think people are excited about Matthew Stafford and m
VP possibilities, are they? I mean, David Vase tweeted out
a couple of days ago about how he's got RAMS fever.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Oh well, and there's somebody I don't know. They don't
really float my boat. None of the NFL teams do.
I'm sorry.
Speaker 6 (13:10):
Fun team to watch.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
I like Weston Western Michigan. Okay, but you're right, Yeah,
they are good. On Sunday they're gonna take on Lapentteta
and then the Chargers are seven and four and they
host Tim Kats's hapless Raiders. What come on, they are bad.
Here's Raiders head coach Pete Carrott with the Vegas media
on the matchup.
Speaker 9 (13:31):
I'd love to see us be really clean with what
we're doing again, utilize our guys. I want to see,
you know, just the temple of everything to be we're
supposed to be, and hopefully we can we can protect
the quarterbacks so he has a chance, and we'll do
that in a variety of ways. But I'd just like
to see us cleaner operate with an urgency that gives
us a chance.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Thank you, Pete Carroll, and we'll be right back. James
Worthy a man you want to hear from, a man
who built something and then watched it as a tower
over everybody else. A jazz aficionado as well, our friend

Speaker 6 (15:09):
He is the one and only James Worthy pe.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Yes, it is big game. James from Spectrum sportsnet LA.
A wonderful man, a great person, one of the greatest
basketball players of all time at a Gastonia, North Carolina,
and of course we appreciate his knowledge. The Lakers are
(15:36):
looking good, and James Worthy of champion on every level
is here to tell us just how good. So it's
great to hear from you, James, and happy Thanksgiving to
you and your family. God bless you.
Speaker 5 (15:50):
Hey, Happy Thanksgiving everybody, man, enjoy the holidays and be
safe and we try not to eat too much.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Yeah it's not easy, but Lakers look great and I
would imagine James that that you feel more and more
confident every time this team takes a floor because they
seem to be able to find ways to win, find
find ways to win with a different lineup. Just how
impressed are you with this team?
Speaker 5 (16:16):
I have to say thus far, I'm very impressed. You know,
they get an A grade thus far because of how
they have come together after really just having Luca, you know,
half a season and it being JJ's first year, I think,
coming back with a full year and you know, a
(16:39):
lot of time to convey the message what you want
from the team, and I think they've really bought into,
you know, what he's been asking for, especially on the
defensive end. And then they have a really good production
from their role players. You know, Marcus Smart, Hey, he's
(17:01):
coming in last night when Aydon was out. I like
Jake Gravia's coming in, Max Cleve, you know, he's coming
in now healthy. And then of course Luca is just
killing it. And then you got a guy like Austin
Reeves who's quietly giving you twenty five plus points and
getting to the line and then steps in you know, arguably,
(17:24):
you know, one of the best players they ever playing
the game, Lebron, who's fitting in perfectly. And when you
look at the measure, the measure is Oklahoma, Okay, who
has had their start to set out. I don't know,
eight nine, ten.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Fourth quarters.
Speaker 5 (17:42):
That's old school right there, taking care of business early,
trying to get you know, the game and get the
guys from rest. So the Lakers are, they're they're trying
to get there, and so far they're they're doing a
pretty good job of of staying together.
Speaker 6 (17:56):
James, you just said it.
Speaker 7 (17:57):
Lebron is fitting in, And this was asking you ast
couple of weeks, what's it gonna look like when Lebron
comes back and has to play with Luca and Aar
What are you seeing? How is the offense flown with
the three of them?
Speaker 5 (18:09):
This wisdom, you know Lebron is you know, he's done
it all. I mean he's entering, as you know, his
twenty third year. No one's ever done that, so he's
able to look and survey and he knows that it's
Lucas's team even though Lebron is Lebron. Never have we
had the torch being passed. I mean Jordan to Kobe,
(18:34):
you know, Kobe to Lebron, but we've never and now
Lebron to Luca. But we've never had two greats on
the same team like that. So I give Lebron a
lot of credit for you know, just letting guys play
and deliver and let guys like Ruy step up. I
like the way Ayton has, you know, he's emerged and
(18:57):
playing good and Lebron he's just gonna come in and
plug in, plug in. You know, twenty three last night,
you know, almost a triple double. He's going to plug
in and just play the games. But I guarantee you
if they need him to drop thirty five forty and dominate,
he can do that. So he's in a great He's
in a great situation right now with this team.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
You're talking about having greats on a team together, and
we've seen a lot of that more recently. You've been
on the court with a lot of greats along with
being one of the all time greats. Yourself and everybody
seems to have a different approach. But I don't know,
maybe this year is different from last year, But it
just looks like Luka Doncic is having a great time.
He seems like a fun guy to be around and
(19:40):
a fun guy to play with. Does that come out
or stand out to you when you're watching the games?
Speaker 5 (19:46):
It does? You know a lot of people think he's
a he's an old veteran, but he's young, twenty six.
He's just not getting started, man. And and this is
the time that you know, guys start to peak around
twenty seven, twenty eight, twenty nine. So he's right there.
He's gotta love la he's gotta love the weather. He's
(20:08):
gotta love, you know, being down in Manhattan Beach in
a nice mansion and the weather. He's he's adaptee the
fans loving. Uh. He's always out pre game shooting shots
and very engaging. And he loves to entertain. He's a
he's an entertainer and and but but he's also serious. Uh,
(20:29):
don't let that little smile for you. He's he's serious,
you know. And so uh, we've seen greats here since
Jerry West and Baylor and you know, Wilt Kareem, Magic
Kobe and now Lebroad and now we got this this guy.
You know, it's just amazing that that we have him,
(20:49):
and he's producing, and he's I think he's started a
home hopefully real quick.
Speaker 6 (20:53):
James.
Speaker 7 (20:54):
Last night, Chris Dunne push Luca, and then Jackson Hayes
comes in and pushes Chris Dune. And after the game,
Lucas says he's gonna pay the fine. If Jackson Hayes
gets a fine, How cool is that to see? I know,
the game's different than it was when you play, but
a little pushing, a little back and forth never hurt anybody.
And to see Jackson Hayes come in and have Luca's back,
that's a nice little team bonding thing, right.
Speaker 5 (21:16):
Hell yeah, they don't mess with our guy. That's what
we do. Man. You know, back in the day it
was like fifty bucks, you could knock the hell out
of somebody, you know, it wouldn't even get kicked out
of the game. He'd just be like nothing. So yeah,
you gotta let him know that you're not going to
You're not going to just you know, push our main
guy around. And I like to see that, you know,
(21:36):
we got your back to band of brothers.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
I've seen more pushing in the men's room. The one
and only James Worthy, Ladies and gentlemen, He's the best
and nobody's better. Happy Thanksgiving James, and have a great day.
Thanks doving the time out today. Always great to talk
to James Worthy. We'll be right back with your dead
and a live guy. Birthday of the Day.

(24:21):
to get his hands on a new role of three
to M videotape, so all he had to work with
was a leftover videotape of an old I Love Lucy episode.
It was a nineteen sixty three Army Navy game that
he used his invention for the first time. He had
developed a method to record a game, stop it, cue
the tape up to pinpoint spots, and replay it immediately
(24:43):
on the air. So in the fourth quarter of the
Army Navy game nineteen sixty three, our guy Tony Verna
told play by play announcer Lindsey Nelson that he was
going to replay a touchdown that Army quarterback Roley Stillwich scored.
As the video was replaying, the play by play announcer
Nelson felt he had to warn viewers, quote.
Speaker 6 (25:03):
This is not live, ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 7 (25:06):
Army did not score again, and with that one replay
of the Army touchdown, instant replay was born in sporting
events forever. He said he wasn't sure how it was
gonna work live on the air, impact they did test
runs before, and in the test runs, petros I Love
Lucy was in the background of the replay faintly, and
(25:27):
he thought, oh no, if I do this and it
goes bad, they're never gonna use this or want to
use this ever again. Instead, it was an instant hit.
He never got paid for inventing instant replay. He never
got the proper ignition.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
It's just like a sports production.
Speaker 7 (25:44):
He was just a director for CBS. He told the
La Times once. What bothers me the most is the
network never gave me the recognition. Money's one thing, but
they never said you did it. This wasn't a mushroom
that came out of the ground. There wasn't a button
you could hit. Someone had to come up with it.
End quote. And it was Tony Verna, who would go
(26:04):
on to produce and direct five Super Bowls, the Olympics,
various NBA finals, Stanley Cup Finals, the Kentucky Derby, even
Live Aid he directed. In nineteen ninety five, he received
the Director's Guild of America's Lifetime Achievement Award. He was
married with two kids. He passed away in twenty fifteen
down the Desert and Palm Desert at the age of
ninety one from leukemia. His lasting legacy, though, is pulling
(26:26):
back the curtain on sports and revealing what really goes
on instant replay Tony verna happy would have been ninety
second birthday.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
What a story. Yes, we all are a big part
of that now. I mean without that, how could we
have our hot opinions?
Speaker 7 (26:44):
Very outgoing Philadelphia guy who wasn't afraid to express his
opinions throughout the years and lost back in twenty fifteen
to Lukemi.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
All right, well here's some Australia news.
Speaker 6 (26:56):
Did I may?
Speaker 1 (26:57):

There's a game Friday night against somebody I don't even

to be in the lineup. It's just I don't care.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Well, we'll get to that in a All right, it's
time for the final hour. Fun fact facts. Yeah, we're
three fun fun fact Uh this fun fact as a sponsor,
I believe Tim Kaye.
Speaker 7 (03:11):
Yes, it is brought to you by our friends at
Concordia University. Your reminds Masters in Coaching and Athletics Administration.
Speaker 6 (03:18):
It's a fact.
Speaker 7 (03:19):
They're over two thousand graduates of this program in colleges
and high schools in the state of California alone. Accelerate
and elevate your career by joining this vast community of
excellence by going to see UI dot edu slash coaching.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Well, despite my best advice, there is no doubt that
people will go to local pubs. Tonight, they'll go to
an Irish bar. They will be in that space, even
though I warned against it. Here's a fun fact about
Irish pubs.
Speaker 6 (03:50):
Oh you don't.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Say thank you? Two please please. Pubs were often used
as temporary storage places or even morgues for dead bodies.
In fact, in the Corners Act of eighteen forty six,
it to create a dead body had to be brought
to the nearest public house for storage until further arrangements
(04:12):
could be made. Beer sellers were cool and slowed the
decomposition of the bodies.
Speaker 6 (04:18):
Makes sense.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
A little creepy that legislation stayed on the books in
Ireland until nineteen sixty two.
Speaker 6 (04:28):
What sixty years ago was still in law?
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Yeah, it sure was, brother, Wow. And that is your
final hour. Fun fact.
Speaker 6 (04:37):
That is fun And that is a fact.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
Yeah, I don't know how fun. I mean what it is.
What it is. It's time for the quick hits. Everybody
in this quick hits.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
I'll make it quick, y'all.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Yeah. The Lakers are thirteen and four and they beat
the Clippers last night. The Clippers are kind of a
sad state. The Clippers host the Grizzlies on.
Speaker 6 (05:04):
Friday, night, there's your Clipper News, and the.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Lakers host the Mavericks on Friday night, so they're both
gonna play Friday night because they can, because they are
in two separate arenas now. And after the seventeen point
loss last night, Kawhi Leonard was asked, here's more Clipper
News why the team was struggling to stay aloft this
season despite being so much better playing shorthanded in previous seasons.
(05:34):
Leonard's response raised some eyebrows, and he seemed to backtrack
when asked for a follow up. Very odd, You just got.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
To get the right lineups on the corrider. I guess
you know, get some more talent, play play with better taling.
Speaker 8 (05:47):
And you said, like get more talents that like internally externally, I'm.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
Saying, like playing better. I think we all just got
to play better, make shots, little ball, a little bit
more trust one another, and just get better.
Speaker 7 (06:03):
Hmm, So we need better talent than he says we
need to play better talent.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Give me that one more time. I mean, that's a
good follow up.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
I guess you know, get some more talent, play play
a better talent, And to what happens?
Speaker 6 (06:19):
You said, get more talents that like internally, externally.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
I'm saying, like playing better. We all just got to
play better, make shots, move the ball a little bit more,
trust one another, and then just get better.
Speaker 7 (06:33):
Okay he did backtrack there. You're clearly saying you need
better talent around you, and then when you realize what
you said, you, Hey, you know we should all have
the opportunity to clarify what we said.
Speaker 6 (06:44):
I know a way they can get better talent on
the floor. How about you be healthy?
Speaker 5 (06:48):
Right?
Speaker 6 (06:48):
Well, you played an eight of eighteen games this year.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
You're always hurt, all right, all right, you're acting all hardcore.
That's fine. I mean, I understand. He's very disappointing. The
Clippers are disappointed. The whole thing is disappointed.
Speaker 6 (07:01):
I mean, haven't the Clippers done enough to help you out.
Speaker 7 (07:03):
They went out and sold all their draft picks to
Oklahoma City years ago to get you Paul George to
be another superstar next to year, and you couldn't be
healthy enough with him to win anything.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
It's been very disappointing. And we asked Don McClain yesterday.
Speaker 6 (07:17):
They brought James Harden in for you.
Speaker 7 (07:19):
Yes, they brought a Russell Westbrook in for you they
got CP three sitting on the bench collecting dust.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
We asked McClain yesterday if there was a good chance
the Clippers would turn it around and go on a run,
and he said no. So that was very telling.
Speaker 7 (07:34):
Yeah, but that was before Dawn had a whole change
of heart and you know, taking it to them, and
you know the whole attitude taking.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
It to him at Pitties. Right now in baseball, the
Angels in third basement, Anthony red donor and talks about
buying out the final year of his contra My gosh,
potentially bringing a resolution to the seven year, two hundred
and forty five million dollar deal, one of the worst
deals ever.
Speaker 6 (07:58):
He should be arrested for stealing.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Rendon, who spent the entire twenty twenty five season recovering
from hip surgery, is expected to retire. A source set
the thirty five year old is owed thirty eight million
in twenty twenty six. A potential buyout of the remaining
money has not been finalized. Situations like this can often
get complicated, but the expectation is that Rendon will defer
(08:24):
at least part of that money, giving the team more
financial flexibility to address their needs. This offseason, so he
might not get it all he wants. It seems like
he just doesn't want to play anymore.
Speaker 7 (08:36):
I'm gonna give you some numbers here, Petros. His first
season with the Angels was twenty twenty the COVID. You remember,
he won a World Series in the fall of twenty
nineteen with the Washington Nationals. Was highly sought after. Yes,
a free agent, the Angels gave him this big contract.
Twenty twenty COVID year. He played in fifty two of
the sixty six games. Okay, that's close to a full season, right,
(08:57):
It's a shortened season, but you know he played in
most to the games. I'll give him that. Twenty twenty
one he played in fifty eight games. Twenty twenty two
he played in forty seven games. Twenty twenty three he
played in forty three games. Twenty twenty four he played
in fifty seven games.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
And then he's not in the high water mark.
Speaker 6 (09:18):
That's it.
Speaker 7 (09:18):
Well, highest was in twenty twenty one. He played fifty
eight games. Oh oh, he never had more than two
hundred and twenty eight bats in a season. He hit
no more than nine home runs in a season in
an Angel uniform. I mean an absolute danced.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
It's a really bad deal, but it feels like he
doesn't want to even go back and try to play
baseball anymore. They obviously don't want him around anymore, so
hopefully they'll find a resolution.
Speaker 7 (09:44):
I hope the Angels, if they try to work on
a deal with him, win their case and don't have
to pay him as much as they're supposed to, because
this guy has clearly stole from them the last five
years by not playing.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
I know the contracts say what they say, though you
know they owe the money you signed the deal. So
he's got him by the balls. Maybe he'll show up
in a uni. UCLA is three and seven, three and
six and the Big Ten. They head to the Coliseum
on Saturday to take on USC, who's eight and three,
six and two into Big Ten at four point thirty
(10:15):
on an NBC. Trojans are a big twenty one and
a half point favorite. Lincoln Riley here he is mister
personality on the big rivalry game.
Speaker 8 (10:24):
This team, for a lot of reasons, is very very
hungry and excited to play this game and for whatever
else comes after that. We've had a very good year
right on the verge of being a great year, but
a very good year. You know, we put ourselves in
position to really finish strong, you know, and then on
top of this obviously being a rivalry game and all
(10:47):
that comes with that, you know, Senior day, there's just
you know, a million different reasons. And the other thing
we've talked to the guys about is paving the road.
You know, Number one is is you.
Speaker 7 (10:58):
Know, wait a second, Now, this is a guy who
does that really embrace the history of USC but now
he's talking about paving a road for the guys behind you.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Yeah, he's trying to build it. Man. At least he's
saying something.
Speaker 5 (11:09):
You know.
Speaker 8 (11:10):
Number one is is you know, paving the road out
for the guys that are leaving the program to make
sure they leave on a high note. And then the
flip side of that is those guys that are leaving,
really the whole team continue to pave the road for
the next group because that's what's happened here over the
last few years and that's why you've seen this thing
continue to go up and it's going to continue to
do that.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
So, you know, this.
Speaker 8 (11:30):
Week and how we how we prepare and how we
play is a very is very key to all of that.
Speaker 7 (11:35):
If you didn't know any better, I just played to
that audio Petros, you'd be like, oh, wow, this guy
just founded this program a few years ago. Oh that's great,
a new program. They just started college football. That's great
that they'd started and you know, really building something there.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Yeah. No, he's been there a while.
Speaker 6 (11:50):
I mean, there's a whole history before you link in.
Speaker 8 (11:53):
It, because that's what's happened here over the last few years.
And that's why you've seen this thing continue to go
up and and.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
It's going to continue to do that.
Speaker 8 (12:01):
So yeah, he'sous how we prepare and how we play.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Is he's just constantly with the innuendo. And you know,
we have had very almost a great year, almost very
good year. And of course he's going to stay. He'll
be there forever. We'll be dealing with this forever.
Speaker 6 (12:19):
No, No, there are a bunch of schools that are
clamoring to get here.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
He is confirming that he's going to stay forever.
Speaker 8 (12:24):
Yeah, like I said before, I'm I'm right where I'm
supposed to be. So yeah, that's I think, nothing other
than what we're building literally and I love being here.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
And yeah, that's really the end of it.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Well, that doesn't sound that convincing, but he doesn't sound
that convincing about anything. The Rams are nine and two,
they're really good. They've won six in a row. Does
that make people care in Los Angeles? I suppose.
Speaker 7 (12:53):
I think people are excited about Matthew Stafford and m
VP possibilities, are they? I mean, David Vase tweeted out
a couple of days ago about how he's got RAMS fever.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Oh well, and there's somebody I don't know. They don't
really float my boat. None of the NFL teams do.
I'm sorry.
Speaker 6 (13:10):
Fun team to watch.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
I like Weston Western Michigan. Okay, but you're right, Yeah,
they are good. On Sunday they're gonna take on Lapentteta
and then the Chargers are seven and four and they
host Tim Kats's hapless Raiders. What come on, they are bad.
Here's Raiders head coach Pete Carrott with the Vegas media
on the matchup.
Speaker 9 (13:31):
I'd love to see us be really clean with what
we're doing again, utilize our guys. I want to see,
you know, just the temple of everything to be we're
supposed to be, and hopefully we can we can protect
the quarterbacks so he has a chance, and we'll do
that in a variety of ways. But I'd just like
to see us cleaner operate with an urgency that gives
us a chance.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Thank you, Pete Carroll, and we'll be right back. James
Worthy a man you want to hear from, a man
who built something and then watched it as a tower
over everybody else. A jazz aficionado as well, our friend
and hero, James Worthy.

Speaker 3 (15:12):
Yes, it is big game. James from Spectrum sportsnet LA.
A wonderful man, a great person, one of the greatest
basketball players of all time at a Gastonia, North Carolina,
and of course we appreciate his knowledge. The Lakers are
(15:36):
looking good, and James Worthy of champion on every level
is here to tell us just how good. So it's
great to hear from you, James, and happy Thanksgiving to
you and your family. God bless you.
Speaker 5 (15:50):
Hey, Happy Thanksgiving everybody, man, enjoy the holidays and be
safe and we try not to eat too much.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Yeah it's not easy, but Lakers look great and I
would imagine James that that you feel more and more
confident every time this team takes a floor because they
seem to be able to find ways to win, find
find ways to win with a different lineup. Just how
impressed are you with this team?
Speaker 5 (16:16):
I have to say thus far, I'm very impressed. You know,
they get an A grade thus far because of how
they have come together after really just having Luca, you know,
half a season and it being JJ's first year, I think,
coming back with a full year and you know, a
(16:39):
lot of time to convey the message what you want
from the team, and I think they've really bought into,
you know, what he's been asking for, especially on the
defensive end. And then they have a really good production
from their role players. You know, Marcus Smart, Hey, he's
(17:01):
coming in last night when Aydon was out. I like
Jake Gravia's coming in, Max Cleve, you know, he's coming
in now healthy. And then of course Luca is just
killing it. And then you got a guy like Austin
Reeves who's quietly giving you twenty five plus points and
getting to the line and then steps in you know, arguably,
(17:24):
you know, one of the best players they ever playing
the game, Lebron, who's fitting in perfectly. And when you
look at the measure, the measure is Oklahoma, Okay, who
has had their start to set out. I don't know,
eight nine, ten.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Fourth quarters.
Speaker 5 (17:42):
That's old school right there, taking care of business early,
trying to get you know, the game and get the
guys from rest. So the Lakers are, they're they're trying
to get there, and so far they're they're doing a
pretty good job of of staying together.
Speaker 6 (17:56):
James, you just said it.
Speaker 7 (17:57):
Lebron is fitting in, And this was asking you ast
couple of weeks, what's it gonna look like when Lebron
comes back and has to play with Luca and Aar
What are you seeing? How is the offense flown with
the three of them?
Speaker 5 (18:09):
This wisdom, you know Lebron is you know, he's done
it all. I mean he's entering, as you know, his
twenty third year. No one's ever done that, so he's
able to look and survey and he knows that it's
Lucas's team even though Lebron is Lebron. Never have we
had the torch being passed. I mean Jordan to Kobe,
(18:34):
you know, Kobe to Lebron, but we've never and now
Lebron to Luca. But we've never had two greats on
the same team like that. So I give Lebron a
lot of credit for you know, just letting guys play
and deliver and let guys like Ruy step up. I
like the way Ayton has, you know, he's emerged and
(18:57):
playing good and Lebron he's just gonna come in and
plug in, plug in. You know, twenty three last night,
you know, almost a triple double. He's going to plug
in and just play the games. But I guarantee you
if they need him to drop thirty five forty and dominate,
he can do that. So he's in a great He's
in a great situation right now with this team.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
You're talking about having greats on a team together, and
we've seen a lot of that more recently. You've been
on the court with a lot of greats along with
being one of the all time greats. Yourself and everybody
seems to have a different approach. But I don't know,
maybe this year is different from last year, But it
just looks like Luka Doncic is having a great time.
He seems like a fun guy to be around and
(19:40):
a fun guy to play with. Does that come out
or stand out to you when you're watching the games?
Speaker 5 (19:46):
It does? You know a lot of people think he's
a he's an old veteran, but he's young, twenty six.
He's just not getting started, man. And and this is
the time that you know, guys start to peak around
twenty seven, twenty eight, twenty nine. So he's right there.
He's gotta love la he's gotta love the weather. He's
(20:08):
gotta love, you know, being down in Manhattan Beach in
a nice mansion and the weather. He's he's adaptee the
fans loving. Uh. He's always out pre game shooting shots
and very engaging. And he loves to entertain. He's a
he's an entertainer and and but but he's also serious. Uh,
(20:29):
don't let that little smile for you. He's he's serious,
you know. And so uh, we've seen greats here since
Jerry West and Baylor and you know, Wilt Kareem, Magic
Kobe and now Lebroad and now we got this this guy.
You know, it's just amazing that that we have him,
(20:49):
and he's producing, and he's I think he's started a
home hopefully real quick.
Speaker 6 (20:53):
James.
Speaker 7 (20:54):
Last night, Chris Dunne push Luca, and then Jackson Hayes
comes in and pushes Chris Dune. And after the game,
Lucas says he's gonna pay the fine. If Jackson Hayes
gets a fine, How cool is that to see? I know,
the game's different than it was when you play, but
a little pushing, a little back and forth never hurt anybody.
And to see Jackson Hayes come in and have Luca's back,
that's a nice little team bonding thing, right.
Speaker 5 (21:16):
Hell yeah, they don't mess with our guy. That's what
we do. Man. You know, back in the day it
was like fifty bucks, you could knock the hell out
of somebody, you know, it wouldn't even get kicked out
of the game. He'd just be like nothing. So yeah,
you gotta let him know that you're not going to
You're not going to just you know, push our main
guy around. And I like to see that, you know,
(21:36):
we got your back to band of brothers.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
I've seen more pushing in the men's room. The one
and only James Worthy, Ladies and gentlemen, He's the best
and nobody's better. Happy Thanksgiving James, and have a great day.

Birthday of the Day.
Speaker 7 (23:16):
Happy would have been ninety second birthday to Tony Verna,
a man who changed sports forever. Born in Philadelphia to
Italian immigrants, he went to West Point briefly before getting discharged,
returned to Philadelphia.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Me dishonorably discharged.
Speaker 6 (23:34):
Honorably discharged, honorably Yes.
Speaker 7 (23:36):
He returned to Philadelphia, mon went to penn His first
job was in television at WFIL, the Philadelphia station that
carried American bandstand. From there, Tony Verna worked at other
Philadelphia stations in the.
Speaker 6 (23:49):
Early days of live television.
Speaker 7 (23:51):
By nineteen fifty five, he was directing national baseball telecasts
for CBS Sports as his long career started.
Speaker 6 (23:59):
As in the.
Speaker 7 (23:59):
Primitive pre eminent behind the scenes talent in network television
started for almost four decades. On December seventh, nineteen sixty three,
that was the day things changed for Tony Verna. He
was directing the Army Navy football game in Philadelphia for CBS.
Before the game, he drove a huge recording machine in
from New York and set it up. He was unable
(24:21):
to get his hands on a new role of three
to M videotape, so all he had to work with
was a leftover videotape of an old I Love Lucy episode.
It was a nineteen sixty three Army Navy game that
he used his invention for the first time. He had
developed a method to record a game, stop it, cue
the tape up to pinpoint spots, and replay it immediately
(24:43):
on the air. So in the fourth quarter of the
Army Navy game nineteen sixty three, our guy Tony Verna
told play by play announcer Lindsey Nelson that he was
going to replay a touchdown that Army quarterback Roley Stillwich scored.
As the video was replaying, the play by play announcer
Nelson felt he had to warn viewers, quote.
Speaker 6 (25:03):
This is not live, ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 7 (25:06):
Army did not score again, and with that one replay
of the Army touchdown, instant replay was born in sporting
events forever. He said he wasn't sure how it was
gonna work live on the air, impact they did test
runs before, and in the test runs, petros I Love
Lucy was in the background of the replay faintly, and
(25:27):
he thought, oh no, if I do this and it
goes bad, they're never gonna use this or want to
use this ever again. Instead, it was an instant hit.
He never got paid for inventing instant replay. He never
got the proper ignition.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
It's just like a sports production.
Speaker 7 (25:44):
He was just a director for CBS. He told the
La Times once. What bothers me the most is the
network never gave me the recognition. Money's one thing, but
they never said you did it. This wasn't a mushroom
that came out of the ground. There wasn't a button
you could hit. Someone had to come up with it.
End quote. And it was Tony Verna, who would go
(26:04):
on to produce and direct five Super Bowls, the Olympics,
various NBA finals, Stanley Cup Finals, the Kentucky Derby, even
Live Aid he directed. In nineteen ninety five, he received
the Director's Guild of America's Lifetime Achievement Award. He was
married with two kids. He passed away in twenty fifteen
down the Desert and Palm Desert at the age of
ninety one from leukemia. His lasting legacy, though, is pulling
(26:26):
back the curtain on sports and revealing what really goes
on instant replay Tony verna happy would have been ninety
second birthday.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
What a story. Yes, we all are a big part
of that now. I mean without that, how could we
have our hot opinions?
Speaker 7 (26:44):
Very outgoing Philadelphia guy who wasn't afraid to express his
opinions throughout the years and lost back in twenty fifteen
to Lukemi.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
All right, well here's some Australia news.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
