Speaker 1 (00:00):
Then we go one hour today, Fred Rogan, Rodney Pete
on a five to seventy LA Sports only an hour
for us because the Dodgers an early start once again.
Hopefully the results will be better than yesterday. After the
early start there, Dustin made it look crisp, didn't look sharp.
Battle back and forth a couple of times, the Dodgers
had three run leads, lost them. Tanner Scott gave up
(00:23):
a home run, and when it was all said and done,
the Dodgers lost a slugfest. Rodney and even Dave Roberts
said afterwards, we got to win that game.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Yeah, yeah, and they probably should have won it. If
you know, if they're probably at home, they win that game.
Cubs have been playing well. You can't discart that the
Cubs have been, if not d but certainly one of
the top three surprise teams in the league this year.
They offensively are at the top of most of the
list in Major League Baseball. So they're no slouts. But
(00:57):
in anytime you play in Wrigley Field, it's everything becomes tricky.
You know, the wind was blowing out to start the game,
then the winds started blowing in at the end of
the game and then it swirled, you know, and next three.
I mean, so it's it's a crazy place to play,
but you're right, they probably should have won that game.
But you look up in the cups, say we should
(01:17):
have won that game. You know, we we fought off,
they got off to a fast you know, start meeting
the Dodgers. We caught him and went ahead, and we're
cruising for a minute, but we probably should have won
that game. So, you know, it was one of those
games that went back and forth. But it did feel
like late the Dodgers when they went up ten to seven,
had it had it in the bag. Especially you know,
(01:39):
the way the bullpen has been pitching this season, you
felt like there's no way they're coming back from from
three down.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
To beat us. And they did.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Got a big hit from Al Tucker again, one of
the hottest players in the league, and he ran into
a two run homer and and and put it a
one run ball game. And then they got a home
run in the ninth. But I don't think it's one
of those let's go overly and analyze this, this this
(02:10):
whole situation. Uh here in July, they're still you know,
in the top five and record in Major League Baseball,
and they're not a team that is playing and hitting
on all cylinders. When you look around at all the
teams in the league, they talk about different teams like
the Mets. The Mets are playing out of their mind.
The Mets are off to a hot start. The Giants
(02:31):
are off to a crazy hot start, the Padres great start.
You know, the Chicago Cubs are on fire. They're blowing
people away and and people are surprised. Nobody's saying that
about the Dodgers. Nobody's saying that. They're saying about the Dodgers.
You know, they're off to a slow start. They're off
to they're they're not they're not playing like the superstar
(02:51):
team that they are. They're not doing all yet they
got one, what the second or third best record in
baseball and they're yeah, and they're not playing well. So
just think when they do start playing well and they
start talking about them the way they're talking about the
Mets of the Cubs or or you know, some of
these other teams that have gotten off to a hot start,
(03:13):
then what happens. So I'm not worried, Fred, I'm not
worried they're gonna have some games like this, you know,
it's a it's a it's a it's gonna be an
interesting season because I think the problem is people the
expectations are that's the Dodger gonna blow everybody away, especially
the way they started. But think about how they started.
(03:34):
Think about how they started and won those first eight games.
Five of them they were they were come from behind
games that they probably shouldn't have won, and they did.
And it was kind of fool's goal to start the
season because oh, they're gonna go one in sixty two
and oh they're gonna.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
Roll through this whole division and hold through Major League Baseball.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
But they they were squeaking by those first eight games
that they won, and it wasn't a cakewalk like they
blew people out ten to two, and every one of
those games they had to come back. So they have
not found their stride yet and I think they will.
But to be sitting here in a situation where there's
they've only lost eight games, it's still gonna be pretty good,
(04:19):
but just not up to Dodgers standards, I think with
most people want to feel.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Firing on all cylinders. That that's been a phrase that's
been used let's just be honest. Uh, that doesn't matter
right now. It makes no difference. Don't get caught up
in this. It makes no difference, you know. And you
need to be firing on all cylinders. In September, that's
when you need to be firing on all cylinders. Even
if the Dodgers aren't all the way through, they're still
(04:46):
going to be there at the end. So be hot
when you need to be hot. But really, Dustin May
had a bad game, and that's the first bad game
he's had. I'm they shredded him last night. Just a
bad outing. So do you say, oh, we're in trouble now,
or do you say he had a bad game, because
he certainly didn't have any bad games before that this year.
Other thing is Tanner Scott is still working through some things.
(05:09):
I know the Dodgers paid him a good amount of
money for three years, top closer in the game last year.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
I got it.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
He's still working through things, and he'd be the first
one to admit that to you. So it is very early.
The thing is, if you're a Dodger fan, you don't
want to see that happen, and quite frankly, nobody does.
They should have won that game. You can't give up
those leads. You just can't. And then you mentioned Kyle Tucker.
Kyle Tucker, you know, Kyle Tucker is Rodney Mike Trout
(05:37):
before Mike Trout made any commercials, Mike Trout before he
allowed people to even know he existed. Kyle Tucker is
the best player in baseball.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
You don't know.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Yeah, Kyle Tucker is a guy you could build your
whole team around. And you don't even know who he is.
He was really good in Houston, just took care of
his business, just minded as an own business.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
But lost between Bregman and Altuve and all those those
names that they had down in Houston, you didn't even
think about him. But probably their most consistent and arguably
their best player and best hitter. Right The only reason
he's not there is because he's going to require an
awful lot of money. He'll be a free agent after
this season, and they didn't want to pay him.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
They thought they.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Couldn't afford him, so they moved him. Now, Kyd said
we'll take him, no problem. You know, you could build
any team in baseball around that guy, that's how good
he is. He is one of the most consistent players
in the game. He is one of the best players
in the game, and he's one of the players that
you've never even heard of. When they do those promos
from Major League Baseball, you don't see Kyle Tucker in there.
(06:45):
You don't see Kyle Tucker dancing on the bench after
a home run. You don't see Kyle Tucker all over
social media. All he does is show up and do
his job every day and do it better than anybody.
So for him to homer is no surprise. Yeah, Kyle
Tucker's actually the kind of guy the Dodgers would sign.
No they don't. Yeah, he's Tommy Edmond. He's like, he
(07:08):
comes up when you need him to come up, and
he makes a big play when you need him to
make a big play or big hit. He is what
Tommy Edmonds has become.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
You now, Tommy Edmonds plays in LA so you know,
he's a star now and everybody knows his name, and
he was a you know, NLCS MVP, but he also
plays for the Dodgers. Most people didn't know who Tommy
Edmund was outside the Dodger organization before he came here,
you know. But a lot of teams had their eye
(07:37):
on him, and more so, the Dodgers had their eye
on him for a number of years that they wanted him,
and we couldn't figure it out. Why did they want
this guy so bad? And then and then he gets
here and you go, oh, okay, I get it. Now
this guy can play. He's a baseball player. That's the
same thing with Kyle Tucker. It's like inside baseball people know.
But if you're you know, a fan watching the game
(07:59):
and you're not in Chicago right now, you didn't spend
time in Houston, you really don't have a big, you know,
a dicktionary or book on Kyle Tucker and what his
career is like.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
But he's a player. And I say that with it
a fore it. Let me tell you who Kyle Tucker is. Seriously,
you want to know who he is. He's Won Soto,
you know who he is. Fornette Tattoos Junior. He's that good.
He is that good and people just don't realize it.
(08:32):
Like when Mike Trout was winning the Most Valuable Player
awards for the Angels, it was the quietest MVP you've
ever heard in your life. He made no noise on
on social media, wasn't a look at me kind of guy,
didn't try to steal the news conference, shot out and
played showing out and played better than anybody for a
(08:54):
number of years in baseball. It's Kyle Tucker. Is he
got to make seven hundred and sixty million like Juan Soto?
Probably not if he had the same demeanor and personality
as one Soto mighty maybe, but he seems like the
guy that's okay, you know what, it's give me six
and called a day. He's that guy. I just want
(09:16):
to play some ball. I want to be paid what
I want to be paid. I want to be taken
care of. And and that's who he is. That's why
no one's.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
Heard of him.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
But as you said, if you know baseball, you have
heard of him. You have.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Yeah, in a loss like yesterday, as early as it is, though,
that that's demoralizing, Rodney. That's a tough one. I don't
care what part of the season it's in. That's a
tough one to sleep after.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Yeah, you know, especially a good team that you possibly
could see down the road the way it's going. They're
a team that's going to probably make the playoffs. They're
going to be battling with Milwaukee all season long for
that division.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
But yeah, yeah, it is.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
It is one that you look up and as often
as you've played the Cubs already this season, you want
to beat them and you want to look up at
the end of the year and go, Okay, we're playing
them and that game back in April it mattered because
we're playing them at home and we've got the advantage,
(10:23):
so you know, and it stings. It stings because they
are a good team and you had that game and
based on your early history, the strength of your team
has been the bullpen and what they've been able to
do to shut people down.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
And when you got to lead like that late in
the game.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
It usually feels pretty good for the Dodgers, and they
let that one get away. So yeah, it'll stink for
a minute until the day they go out and play.
We'll we'll see how it goes. But yeah, it's gonna stink.
You know, it's only a two game series. So if
this was a four game series, you know, and they
had a chance to play three more, maybe different. But
in a two game series where you had a chance
(11:01):
to take the first one in Chicago, yeah, that hurts
to put more pressure on today's game for them.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
All right, let's move to the Lakers now. Last night,
as they said, he JJ Reddick got red in the face.
JJ Reddick basically exploded at one point lost his mind.
He had seen enough, he had had enough, and it
was to a point where he needed to let somebody
know that this is not going to work. And the
(11:28):
Lakers came out Rodney and did what they needed to do.
They imposed their will. They held Minnesota at eighty five points.
You know, difficult that is in today's NBA. That's a
team that's working. That's a team that showed up to play.
And really, the Lakers last night were not a team
that got pushed around. Lebron had a good game, Luca
again had a great game, Austin Reeves had a good game.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
And there you go.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
They controlled the tempo, they dominated physically, and that's all
it took to beat Minnesota.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
You go, well, at least it was a wake up call. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
I didn't think they would need a wake up call,
but maybe they did.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
I don't know if.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
It felt like to me, you play it all the time,
it felt like to me that JJ Reddick time out
blow up, that he had and it was like, are
you epping kidding me?
Speaker 3 (12:29):
What are we epping doing? Time out, get out of here.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
It was a Tommy litsorta I'm going to get my
guys fired up, and I'm just doing this to get
the crowd into it and get my guys riled up.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Kind of a Hollywood show a little bit.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
I don't think it was real in terms of him
being deep down pissed off Matt as he showed he was.
I thought it. I thought it was an act. Okay,
when coaches get a technical on purpose, you know, because
they want to they want a bigger, deeper meeting down
the road for the team to see that, and I
thought that was That was part of JJ's little rant
(13:11):
right there that he had. I was like, Okay, I
got to do something changing things up, and and it worked.
It worked because, like you said, they went on it.
They not only just an offensive because they really didn't
go to offensives there, but they defensively, they as you mentioned,
they shut down a playoff team in Minnesota that it's
(13:31):
got a lot of firepower and that can score, and
they kept them under ninety points and that was that's
a credit to them playing defense and wanting to and
hustling and being aggressive last night. And I just think,
you know, based on the night before or the game before,
JJ felt like he needed to kind of light a
(13:53):
fire during mid game, and and that's what he did
on his rant.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
So you think.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
You think it was I don't want to say orchestrated.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Yeah, you can say that. I think it was. You know,
like you're talking. Remember Tommy used to come out, I, Hey, look,
you're doing a fantastic job. I just want you to
know you're calling the best game you've ever called in
your life.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
We always love it when you're here at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Ump in our game.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
I'm just doing all this to get my guys up
and get the fans into this thing.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
But this is nothing about you. This is all about
my team.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
And he's yelling and ranting and raving and throwing his
arms everywhere, and he's complimenting the umpire the whole time.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
But everybody else thinks he's yelling and screaming and cussing
the umpire out.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Yeah. I thought it was one of those moments.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Okay, did did the did the players know it with
one of those moments?
Speaker 3 (14:45):
Uh? I?
Speaker 2 (14:48):
I don't think no. But the only one I think
maybe have known that was one of those moments was
probably Lebron. By Lebron because he says something at the end,
at the end of the game, after the game, to
the point I forget what the exact what was that,
we know JJ's gonna fly off the handle or something
(15:09):
like that. He said, we know JJ's gonna go off
from time to time, so we expected kind of things.
So I think he might have known that, Hey, this
is this is JJ trying to fire us up. But
I don't think the rest of the guys do that. No,
I don't think they did, especially the younger guys are
the guys that are newer to the team. I don't
(15:29):
think they knew, you know. And and Luca's gonna be
Luca either way, so he's oblivious to any of that.
He's just gonna go out and play his game. But
I think, you know, guys like Austin Reeves and Vincent
and Vanderbilt and and Ruey and all those guys looked
at that and go, oh my god, we can we
better get our blank together, We better get our blank together.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
And they did well.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
If you're Minnesota now, obviously they're going home, so that
gives them a little pep in their step. But I
think now in the back of their mind they really
because after the first game, they came out, they were
fired up, they were able to basically pound the Lakers
right in the mouth, and they were thinking, Okay, all right,
we can beat these guys. After last night, they're probably
thinking this is not going to be easy now, and
(16:16):
if they could beat one in Minnesota right off the bat,
I think that basically takes.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Did you think that they thought it was gonna be easy?
Speaker 1 (16:24):
I think they know no, But I believe they probably
felt after winning the first game, as they did, we
got these guys. We got them, We understand what to do.
We know we're stronger, we know we can be more physical.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
We got it.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
So let's get out there and do the same thing again.
Because in this game last night, the difference was the
Lakers actually showed up as a group, they actually competed
with them physically.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
I mean, if you go out Rodney and and you're
playing quarterback and your team just completely dominates the other
team physically, runs the ball up and down the field,
you have time to throw, you beat them good but
you've also beat them down. You gotta believe the next
time out, the next time out, you can do it again.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
The difference is the next time out they're going to
start playing that way too. And I think it kind
of throws you off a little bit. What what is
this just a little bit just all of a sudden,
force is being met with force instead of we're just
plowing over you. And when that happened, that tells the
(17:42):
other team, That tells the Timberwolves these guys are as
strong as we are, We're not going to be able
to pound them physically.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Let's just put it like that.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
We thought after that first game we could do that,
we were more dominant physically. Now we realize we're not.
And I think that changes have just that little tweak.
We're not going to be able to bully these guys
like we did in Game one.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Uh maybe maybe, But it's a it's a it's a
long series, and and every game takes on its its
own complexion, and it could be that they've came in
and hit the Lakers in the mouth in Game one
and it felt like, Okay, look we did what we
were supposed to do. We came out here and we split.
(18:31):
That was our job. It's come out here and split.
You know, these first two games, we got the first one,
so the second game, you know, there's a could be
a natural tendency to kind of let down a little
bit or be a little bit overconfident. As you mentioned
they you know, we did that in the first game,
so we're gonna do it in the second game. When
every game is different, there's a different energy, there's a
(18:52):
different vibe to it. You know, the Lakers came out
flat in game one. You think they were gonna come
out and flat and game two, No, they're gonna come
out swinging in game two because their backs are against
the wall now. And so it's it could be a
part of you know, the Timberwolves like, Okay, now we're
going back home. We're going back home one one and
one as opposed to going back home down oh two.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
So we're as confident as we could be.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
They got to come to our building now, They got
to come to our building now, and they got to
play in front of our crowd, and and we're as
good as anybody, and I think that and the and
then the big thing that they got going for him
is that their superstar. Their guy does not lack any confidence.
He is not going to be intimidated by anybody or anything,
(19:38):
and so aunt Edwards is always going to believe he
can beat anybody in line up and play better than
anybody across from it, it doesn't matter who it is.
So when you got that guy as your leader, they
are not going to be intimidated.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
They're not going to, you know, shy away from the moment.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
They'll be ready to play, and and the Lakers better
be ready to play and they go back to Minnesota
as well.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
All Right, Well, I think, with all due respect to
ant Edwards, who was just terrific to watch, really so
much fun, the best player in the court is Luca.
And no disrespect to anybody on either team. You had
thirty seven of the first one thirty one last night.
The playoffs is where he really shines. He's the best
player in the court. So I understand the concern about
(20:23):
stopping Anthony Edwards, but I think they better figure out
a way to stop Luca.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
I hope they do, because if they.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Do, Lebron's going to score fifty nine points because they
can't stop them both.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Well, Luca, I don't think they Luca score forty. They
just can't let Lebron, you know, have a triple double,
and they can't let Austin Reeves score twenty points or
nineteen whatever he had and the other guys get going.
You know, Luca's going to find a way offensively get
his his You know, they can exploit him defensively, which
they you know, they did in Game one, and other
(20:54):
teams have done that. But what I'm amazed about is
how much Lebron is flying around the court, both sides
of the ball, up and down the court. At his age,
at this point in the season, the energy level that
he has given is blowing me away. And you know,
(21:15):
both those guys together a are playing fantastic. It is just,
you know, it's going to always come down to the
sporting cast how well Austin Reeves play, really plays, you know,
Vincent Bounderbelt, all these other guys plays, Jackson Hayes. But
those two are going to get theirs. And I think,
you know, Minnesota knows that and they're okay with that.
But you know, it's going to come down to the
(21:36):
other guys. He was playing ten years ago, the way
he's playing defense and running the court, up and down
the court. I mean he's doing given goes, getting the rebound,
kicking it out, and.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
He's part of the fast break.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
You know, you you don't see that from a forty
year old guy, and we're seeing that from him, which
is in itself is incredible.

Kings tonight. This person has been out for a year.
Someone is coming back specifically for this game, and we'll
talk about it. It's Roddy Pete fred Rogan. Let's go Freddy.
Eric Dickerson will be with us tomorrow during the one
o'clock hour. We'll talk NFL Draft, We'll talk whatever else
(22:46):
is on his mind. We'll refer to him in the
third person, which apparently he likes. So Ed will be
on the show during the one o'clock hour tomorrow. Now,
before we go any further, and I told somebody who
was going to mention this to you last night, Rodney
run into somebody. His name is Dave. Dave's from Palm Desert.
That does not ring a bell, does it. No, it
(23:08):
does not, Okay, and it shouldn't because you don't know Dave. Okay,
But Dave certainly has been a fan of yours forever.
And he said, to tell you, the best play Rotten
he ever made was at the end of the half
of the Ucla game where he threw a pick and
ran the guy down. Yes, he thought that was the
very best play you made in your collegiate career. Can
you talk about that play for Dave and everybody that
(23:28):
may not have seen it, and probably most people didn't.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Well, first of all, appreciate that Dave for mentioning that. Yeah. Well,
actually it's the number one play that people talk about
in my usc career, be honest with you, that they
bring up they bring up a lot of things, but
they bring up the play right before half and we're
playing Ucla in my junior year, and it's both teams
(23:58):
are pretty good.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
Ucla was rankedier than us. They had had a really
good year.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
They were loaded on on offense, Troickman's first year there
after transferring from Oklahoma, Gaston Green in the background, Ken
Norton on defense. I mean, they had they were loaded
with players, and so we had had a tough first
half and we moved the ball up and down the
field on it, but we just couldn't. We couldn't score.
We kicked a couple of field goals, we funneled the
(24:28):
ball going in. We got some penalties after you know
that wiped away some touchdown. So we just we were
just pissed because we couldn't we couldn't put points on
the board. And right before half, we're driving to score
and I think they're up thirteen to three or something
like that, and we got a chance to close the
gap and on our own five yard line or their
(24:48):
five yard line, we're going in. There's like ten seconds
left to go in the in the half, and we
were going for one more play and I rolled to
my left to try try to throw the ball into
the corner and it gets tipped tipped up in the air,
and then it gets intercepted by the late great Eric Turner,
who played at UCLA. It was an All American, ended
(25:09):
up playing for Cleveland in the NFL for a number
of years, Pro Bowl player. He intercepted at the goal line.
And mind you, this is right before half. They're up
thirteen to three, and he starts running and then I'm
looking up and going, oh my god, I gotta I
gotta go get him There's nobody else around to go
(25:30):
chase him down. So yeah, I ended up running and
faster than I've ever ran in my life and caught
him right around the five yard line as time ran
out in the half and kind of saved them, kind
of opening up the gap go ahead and having all
the momentum coming out for the second half, didn't allow
(25:52):
him to score a touchdown. So it went from a
terrible play by me throwing an interception right before half
and then turned into kind of a momentum swing by
me stopping him from scoring right before half because we
came back in the second half, ended up having a
really good second half and beating him, and that game
was for the Rose Ball and we ended up going
to the Rose Bowl.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
But yeah, that is It's crazy.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
How you know all the things you do that you
remember for throwing an interception at you, that's that's the
number one thing that people remember for me.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
All right, So you through the interception, Yeah, he picks
it off. I'm sure in the back of your mind
you're going, God, damn it. Yeah, all right, So now
we got that. All of a sudden, he starts running
and you start running.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
Yeah all right.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
What what runs through your mind as you're now chasing him,
because you know you got to do something here? What
is going through your mind?
Speaker 3 (26:46):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (26:47):
You know, Well, look all you're thinking about as a
quarterback that one of the worst things that can happen
to you is you throw pick six, right, And that's
the thing, you like, one of the worst things can happened.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
So you don't ever want to do that.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
And oftentimes you'll see the guy that saves the tackle
on an interception going for a touchdown is usually most
of the time it's the quarterback that is the last resort.
So in my mind, I'm thinking, I just I can't
let him score. I just cannot let him score. And
so I'm chasing. And if we line up and ran
a forty yard dash, Fred. He probably beat me ten
(27:23):
out of ten times and beat me by a nice
good margin. But at that moment, usually, oftentimes the bastest
player on the field is the quarterback who just threw
the interception. And I was able to get another gear
going and go get him and look up and thank
god because because it was so late in half, there
was only ten seconds left in the half when I
(27:44):
threw the interception. Is that time ran out when I
tackled him at the five yard line before he got
a chance to score. So they didn't even get a
chance to kicking a field goal right before half either,
because time ran out and I was able to stop that.
So yeah, you're thinking, I just I gotta do it
whatever I can. I cannot let him score right here.
This is gonna be disastrous if I did.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Can you hear the crowd?
Speaker 2 (28:08):
No, not at that moment, not that moment. It's just
it's just all in your head. It's uh, you know,
things get quiet at that moment, and you're thinking, I
gotta find something in me to go get him.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
I cannot let him score.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
And you're just finding different ways to just try to
try to run as fast as you can, different angles
do I take this and the angle you know, left
about ten yards into the interception because he got ahead
of me and I had to go chase him. So
I was running from behind, I think, and thank god,
he probably thought he had you know, he had a
(28:41):
walk in. But as I went to go get him,
I was like I got closer and closer and closer.
It was like, I just gotta I gotta bring him
down before halftime.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
And yeah, it was.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
It was one of those plays that looking back at it,
it was a big momentum swing.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Does he say anything to you?
Speaker 2 (28:59):
He passed away, Fred, Unfortunately he uh Eric had a
you know cancer, But yeah, he passed away at the
moment during the game after you made oh no, no, no,
not at that moment. Although I might have grabbed his
face backs a little bit on the tackle, which I
(29:21):
think I think if you go back and look at
the video that that I think he gestured that I
pulled his face mask. But if I did, it was
I just barely touched it.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
I didn't.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
I didn't bring him down by the face mask. No,
that might have been it. But no, he didn't say anything.
But I know they were the whole team as we
ran up the tunnel because you run up the same
tunnel at the coliseum. There were a lot of choice
words coming from the the U c l A Players
as we as we ran up that tunnel, as if
(29:53):
that was the game was over at that point pretty much.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
All right, have you ever wanted to be a fly
on the wall?
Speaker 3 (30:00):
Where? I always want to be a fly on the wall?
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (30:01):
All right.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
I like when it happens, And to me, it happens
more than most people because I'm so innocuous, and I
end up places where I shouldn't and I look so
clueless that nobody really knows I'm there.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
Dock or you end up places where you shouldn't.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
I always have, and I just always seem so lost.
I just show up places and no one even really
thinks about it because they can't figure out who I
am or what I'm doing there, so they continue their conversations,
and then you become a fly on the wall. Last night,
that's time, I'm sitting somewhere mindy my own business, not
talking to a single person. As a matter of fact,
(30:38):
you know what I'm doing. I'm having a little salad,
having a little salad. Yeah, Okay, there are these two
people at this table. I'm by myself. These two people
apparently know each other, but it was a table where,
you know, if there's a seat, you sit out. So
they're talking and one guy says to the other one, yeah,
the Kings they're done, they're done. And a guy goes, oh,
(31:03):
I know, I know, I know. You know when they
blew that lead the other night, they were finished. And
the guy says, yeah, you know, they scored on that
lucky goal to win the game.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
He sayeh, I know, I know, but I'll tell.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
Edmonton's way too strong for these guys, way too much
for these guys. There's no way they can stop Connor
McDavid again. I mean, he scored that late goal, but
there's no way. Guy's oh yeah, yeah yeah, and he goes,
as a matter of fact, I don't know if there
could have been an easier first round matchup for the Oilers.
(31:34):
And a guy said, sure, yeah, I hear that. Really,
what is it with the Kings? I mean they're good
and everything, but you know.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
Okay, so when this is happening, Fred, what's going on
in your body right now? You're like boiling right, You're
like you can't wait to say something I know you.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
Right right, But I'm thinking to myself, these guys don't
even know who I am, and basically, despite the fact
that I'm sitting right there, don't even know I exist.
So then I thought to myself, so if I enter
into this conversation, what have I done. I've inserted myself
into something where these guys aren't going to care and
they think I'll be a complete idiot. So I just
(32:14):
listened to this Rodney. I just keep listening, and yeah,
I'll tell you what, It's gonna be a different game.
Sure you have that right. I mean, Kings are fine,
but come on, Edmundson is the best team in hockey.
So I started thinking to myself, how many people really
that follow the NHL believe that, how many people really
believe that that, Oh my god, this is just gonna
(32:37):
be now, they're going to destroy them, just run them over.
And I thought, that's how little respect the Kings get.
That's how little respect nationally the Kings get that. Oh,
sure you know what they are, roadkill a speed bump.
Then they got in a way, but that's not going
(32:58):
to be an issue because we oh, they're going to
just get rolled over here pretty quick. And I sat
there and listened to that, and I thought, you know,
maybe I'll say something. Maybe I'll tell the guys what
a bunch of thugs the oilers are and how dirty
they are. I was thinking of that, and I said, no, nope,
I just finished my salad. I just looked at the
two of them. Then I considered the two of them
(33:19):
after looking at them that were saying it. And you
wouldn't invite either one of these guys to your house
to a party. You wouldn't even It's like, I don't
know who you are, but you're certainly not coming to
my house.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
For any party.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
Guys, And I thought, uh, okay, So it's a respect issue.
That's the issue here. It's a respect issue. And they
go back at it tonight. Now Evander King, who by
the way, wins the award for being a dirtier player
than Darnell Nurse. I mean, Evander King is dirty. He
(33:51):
hasn't played in a year after a couple of surgeries.
He'll be back tonight. He will be back in action tonight.
He's coming back for tonight. Just to short things up, back,
there are these coming back.
Speaker 3 (34:08):
A much needed returns. What you're saying oh yeah, you know.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
I mean, now, you know, you just don't hope those
guys aren't wearing brass knuckles tonight because basically they brought
him in now and he is an old time enforcer.
Plus he can play a little bit. I'm not saying
he can't, but he is. He's a dirty player. So
(34:32):
you know have Evander Kine who is a dirty player.
Darnell Nurse, he'll be back tonight for another one after
the other night.
Speaker 3 (34:41):
He's a dirty player.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
And if you just look at them, I think if
the Kings jump out to will lead tonight, and I
pray they do, because then you will start to see
this air of desperation. And that's when it's going to
get fun, when Edmund and turns to an air of desperation. Look,
they thought they should have won. These guys at the
(35:04):
table last night, thought they should have won the other
night when they came from behind and with that magnificent Kings.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
Kings gave it up more so than Edmonton. Really one
w that's what that's what they said. One that came now,
Edmonton should have won. And oh I didn't say anything.
You didn't say anything. You just let it go. What
a bigger, that's you.
Speaker 4 (35:27):
You know it.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
It's sort of like Rodney and I don't know, and
if you're far more recognizable than I am. But it's
like if you're an event Dodger Stadium or even at
the crypt hockey basketball whatever, and you're sitting there and
there's some people behind you, yeah, and they will not
shut up.
Speaker 3 (35:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:44):
And these people know everything right, everything, they do everything,
I mean everything, And you're listening to this and you're
sitting there and you're thinking to yourself, Man, if we
had you on the air right now and you were
saying that stuff, I think when we got done with you,
you'd be trembling and never call back. I mean, that's
(36:06):
how absurd the stuff is. And you sit there and
you listen to it, and sometimes the people I'm with
look at me to say something I never do, right,
I never say a word.
Speaker 3 (36:18):
That's your time. Were you by yourself or you somebody
with people that.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
Oh I'm with somebody, you know they're something next to me.
They can hear it too, because it depends on who
you're with.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
Because if you're with somebody that is, like you said,
that's cool and quiet, they know who you are. They
know that you know, you're probably gonna let this go,
but sometimes you could be with just as much of
an instigator as those people were, which I've been because
we both know my friend Chris Hale. Right, oh god, yeah,
(36:49):
so we knowing back back at we're at Notre Dame,
Notre Dame USC a few years back. This is the
last year of Clay Hill and it's not going well
for USC.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
Wait, hold your story, Hold your story. We'll finishing when
we come back. Yeah, deal, Yeah, we're only an hour
today now, we're getting all that right, that's right, Okay,
So when we come back, finish the story, then we'll
say goodbye.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
Yep, all right, then Today's afternoon Delight is forever a
dom Dalla. The Australian house DJA officially dropped his track
over the weekend after surprising the audience at his Madison
Square Garden performance with an appearance by rap star Kid Cuddy,
(37:35):
who is a featured artist on this song. Social media
post about the collab, he wrote, I grew up on
Cuddy's music and it was, like many of you, the
soundtrack to my youth. When we got in the studio,
the first thing he said to me was domb I
don't write sad music anymore. I want to write the
happiest song I've ever done again. Today's Afternoon Delight is
(37:59):
forever a dom Dalla and Kid Cuddy. An Afternoon Delight
is brought to you by Draft Kings Pick six. Download
the Draft Kings Pick six up and used Code Blue Crew.

Speaker 3 (38:13):
That's right, use cloth, Code Blue.
Speaker 2 (38:16):
Crew, better payouts, bigger wins all season long, only with
Draft Kings Pick six. All right, Freddy, So I know
we ain't got a minute or so. So we're at
Notre Dame and this is the last year of Clay Hilton.
Se is looking probably gonna go in a different direction
coaching wise, and there's big talk, you know, and then
Notre Name Stadium's got an old stadium. They got those
(38:38):
long line and urinals stacked up and people are in
line for it. So in line Chris Hale the instigator,
People are talking about who do you think us he's
gonna get as a coach. Who do you think USC
should bring in as a coach. They can probably get anybody,
but who do you think they should bring in, and
of course Chris Hale says loud, loud and a big crowd.
(38:59):
You know, I think they bring in Rodney Peach should
be the head coach. Rodney Peach, didn't you bring it?
Speaker 3 (39:04):
And there's.
Speaker 2 (39:06):
There's a guy about five people ahead of us that
turns around loud that k know who I am, doesn't
know I'm in line, and said.
Speaker 4 (39:14):
Rodney Pete, No, I grew up in Detroit. He's terrible.
Speaker 3 (39:18):
I hated him there and he's to be the worst
coach ever. What in the world you talking about?
Speaker 2 (39:23):
And of course Chris breaks out and last and last
and walks up.
Speaker 3 (39:27):
To the guy in the urinal in the bathroom.
Speaker 2 (39:31):
Hey, I want to introduce you to Rodney Pete and
the guy. The guy must have wanted to crawl into
a hole, and he started to apologize and do all
those things.
Speaker 3 (39:42):
So we all finished, we go back. He's done before us.
Speaker 2 (39:45):
We come out of the bathroom getting ready to go
back to our seats, and we run into the guy
going back to our seats, and the first thing he
said to me was, Hey, do you mind if I
get a picture in an aunograph from you?
Speaker 3 (40:01):
Like?
Speaker 2 (40:01):
What what you talk good about? You just dogged me
in the ural front of like four hundred people, and
now you want to picture in an autograph.
Speaker 3 (40:12):
I was like, oh my god.
Speaker 2 (40:14):
But yeah, that's a moment where you know, you're just
sitting back hearing people talking. You don't want to say anything,
and I certainly wasn't going to say anything. But of
course you know, you're with the wrong crowd. And they
said something because if you would have been with the
wrong crowd, they would have said something to those guys.
Speaker 3 (40:27):
Hey, you know this is Fred Rogan.
Speaker 2 (40:28):
Fred Rogan knows more about sports and his little finger
than you do all your whole damn body. And he's
he's been a broadcast in this town for forty years.
What are you talking about? The Kings are terrible and
this and that, and they would have put you on
the spot. But thank god you aren't with that crowd. No,
and of course you were. That's the price you pay, yeah,
(40:50):
for being Chris Hale's friend.
Speaker 3 (40:51):
Exactly, exactly, all right.
Speaker 1 (40:54):
Three hours for us tomorrow. Eric Dickerson will be here.
We'll talk somebout draft during the one o'clock hour. Uh
and uh, we'll talk about what happened with the Kings.
Go Kings Go, Go, Kings Go, Let's go, Ronnie, thanks
for the hour, Kevin, great work, and Rodney, we get
them tomorrow, right ho.
Then we go one hour today, Fred Rogan, Rodney Pete
on a five to seventy LA Sports only an hour
for us because the Dodgers an early start once again.
Hopefully the results will be better than yesterday. After the
early start there, Dustin made it look crisp, didn't look sharp.
Battle back and forth a couple of times, the Dodgers
had three run leads, lost them. Tanner Scott gave up
(00:23):
a home run, and when it was all said and done,
the Dodgers lost a slugfest. Rodney and even Dave Roberts
said afterwards, we got to win that game.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Yeah, yeah, and they probably should have won it. If
you know, if they're probably at home, they win that game.
Cubs have been playing well. You can't discart that the
Cubs have been, if not d but certainly one of
the top three surprise teams in the league this year.
They offensively are at the top of most of the
list in Major League Baseball. So they're no slouts. But
(00:57):
in anytime you play in Wrigley Field, it's everything becomes tricky.
You know, the wind was blowing out to start the game,
then the winds started blowing in at the end of
the game and then it swirled, you know, and next three.
I mean, so it's it's a crazy place to play,
but you're right, they probably should have won that game.
But you look up in the cups, say we should
(01:17):
have won that game. You know, we we fought off,
they got off to a fast you know, start meeting
the Dodgers. We caught him and went ahead, and we're
cruising for a minute, but we probably should have won
that game. So, you know, it was one of those
games that went back and forth. But it did feel
like late the Dodgers when they went up ten to seven,
had it had it in the bag. Especially you know,
(01:39):
the way the bullpen has been pitching this season, you
felt like there's no way they're coming back from from
three down.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
To beat us. And they did.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Got a big hit from Al Tucker again, one of
the hottest players in the league, and he ran into
a two run homer and and and put it a
one run ball game. And then they got a home
run in the ninth. But I don't think it's one
of those let's go overly and analyze this, this this
(02:10):
whole situation. Uh here in July, they're still you know,
in the top five and record in Major League Baseball,
and they're not a team that is playing and hitting
on all cylinders. When you look around at all the
teams in the league, they talk about different teams like
the Mets. The Mets are playing out of their mind.
The Mets are off to a hot start. The Giants
(02:31):
are off to a crazy hot start, the Padres great start.
You know, the Chicago Cubs are on fire. They're blowing
people away and and people are surprised. Nobody's saying that
about the Dodgers. Nobody's saying that. They're saying about the Dodgers.
You know, they're off to a slow start. They're off
to they're they're not they're not playing like the superstar
(02:51):
team that they are. They're not doing all yet they
got one, what the second or third best record in
baseball and they're yeah, and they're not playing well. So
just think when they do start playing well and they
start talking about them the way they're talking about the
Mets of the Cubs or or you know, some of
these other teams that have gotten off to a hot start,
(03:13):
then what happens. So I'm not worried, Fred, I'm not
worried they're gonna have some games like this, you know,
it's a it's a it's a it's gonna be an
interesting season because I think the problem is people the
expectations are that's the Dodger gonna blow everybody away, especially
the way they started. But think about how they started.
(03:34):
Think about how they started and won those first eight games.
Five of them they were they were come from behind
games that they probably shouldn't have won, and they did.
And it was kind of fool's goal to start the
season because oh, they're gonna go one in sixty two
and oh they're gonna.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
Roll through this whole division and hold through Major League Baseball.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
But they they were squeaking by those first eight games
that they won, and it wasn't a cakewalk like they
blew people out ten to two, and every one of
those games they had to come back. So they have
not found their stride yet and I think they will.
But to be sitting here in a situation where there's
they've only lost eight games, it's still gonna be pretty good,
(04:19):
but just not up to Dodgers standards, I think with
most people want to feel.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Firing on all cylinders. That that's been a phrase that's
been used let's just be honest. Uh, that doesn't matter
right now. It makes no difference. Don't get caught up
in this. It makes no difference, you know. And you
need to be firing on all cylinders. In September, that's
when you need to be firing on all cylinders. Even
if the Dodgers aren't all the way through, they're still
(04:46):
going to be there at the end. So be hot
when you need to be hot. But really, Dustin May
had a bad game, and that's the first bad game
he's had. I'm they shredded him last night. Just a
bad outing. So do you say, oh, we're in trouble now,
or do you say he had a bad game, because
he certainly didn't have any bad games before that this year.
Other thing is Tanner Scott is still working through some things.
(05:09):
I know the Dodgers paid him a good amount of
money for three years, top closer in the game last year.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
I got it.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
He's still working through things, and he'd be the first
one to admit that to you. So it is very early.
The thing is, if you're a Dodger fan, you don't
want to see that happen, and quite frankly, nobody does.
They should have won that game. You can't give up
those leads. You just can't. And then you mentioned Kyle Tucker.
Kyle Tucker, you know, Kyle Tucker is Rodney Mike Trout
(05:37):
before Mike Trout made any commercials, Mike Trout before he
allowed people to even know he existed. Kyle Tucker is
the best player in baseball.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
You don't know.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Yeah, Kyle Tucker is a guy you could build your
whole team around. And you don't even know who he is.
He was really good in Houston, just took care of
his business, just minded as an own business.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
But lost between Bregman and Altuve and all those those
names that they had down in Houston, you didn't even
think about him. But probably their most consistent and arguably
their best player and best hitter. Right The only reason
he's not there is because he's going to require an
awful lot of money. He'll be a free agent after
this season, and they didn't want to pay him.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
They thought they.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Couldn't afford him, so they moved him. Now, Kyd said
we'll take him, no problem. You know, you could build
any team in baseball around that guy, that's how good
he is. He is one of the most consistent players
in the game. He is one of the best players
in the game, and he's one of the players that
you've never even heard of. When they do those promos
from Major League Baseball, you don't see Kyle Tucker in there.
(06:45):
You don't see Kyle Tucker dancing on the bench after
a home run. You don't see Kyle Tucker all over
social media. All he does is show up and do
his job every day and do it better than anybody.
So for him to homer is no surprise. Yeah, Kyle
Tucker's actually the kind of guy the Dodgers would sign.
No they don't. Yeah, he's Tommy Edmond. He's like, he
(07:08):
comes up when you need him to come up, and
he makes a big play when you need him to
make a big play or big hit. He is what
Tommy Edmonds has become.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
You now, Tommy Edmonds plays in LA so you know,
he's a star now and everybody knows his name, and
he was a you know, NLCS MVP, but he also
plays for the Dodgers. Most people didn't know who Tommy
Edmund was outside the Dodger organization before he came here,
you know. But a lot of teams had their eye
(07:37):
on him, and more so, the Dodgers had their eye
on him for a number of years that they wanted him,
and we couldn't figure it out. Why did they want
this guy so bad? And then and then he gets
here and you go, oh, okay, I get it. Now
this guy can play. He's a baseball player. That's the
same thing with Kyle Tucker. It's like inside baseball people know.
But if you're you know, a fan watching the game
(07:59):
and you're not in Chicago right now, you didn't spend
time in Houston, you really don't have a big, you know,
a dicktionary or book on Kyle Tucker and what his
career is like.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
But he's a player. And I say that with it
a fore it. Let me tell you who Kyle Tucker is. Seriously,
you want to know who he is. He's Won Soto,
you know who he is. Fornette Tattoos Junior. He's that good.
He is that good and people just don't realize it.
(08:32):
Like when Mike Trout was winning the Most Valuable Player
awards for the Angels, it was the quietest MVP you've
ever heard in your life. He made no noise on
on social media, wasn't a look at me kind of guy,
didn't try to steal the news conference, shot out and
played showing out and played better than anybody for a
(08:54):
number of years in baseball. It's Kyle Tucker. Is he
got to make seven hundred and sixty million like Juan Soto?
Probably not if he had the same demeanor and personality
as one Soto mighty maybe, but he seems like the
guy that's okay, you know what, it's give me six
and called a day. He's that guy. I just want
(09:16):
to play some ball. I want to be paid what
I want to be paid. I want to be taken
care of. And and that's who he is. That's why
no one's.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
Heard of him.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
But as you said, if you know baseball, you have
heard of him. You have.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Yeah, in a loss like yesterday, as early as it is, though,
that that's demoralizing, Rodney. That's a tough one. I don't
care what part of the season it's in. That's a
tough one to sleep after.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Yeah, you know, especially a good team that you possibly
could see down the road the way it's going. They're
a team that's going to probably make the playoffs. They're
going to be battling with Milwaukee all season long for
that division.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
But yeah, yeah, it is.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
It is one that you look up and as often
as you've played the Cubs already this season, you want
to beat them and you want to look up at
the end of the year and go, Okay, we're playing
them and that game back in April it mattered because
we're playing them at home and we've got the advantage,
(10:23):
so you know, and it stings. It stings because they
are a good team and you had that game and
based on your early history, the strength of your team
has been the bullpen and what they've been able to
do to shut people down.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
And when you got to lead like that late in
the game.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
It usually feels pretty good for the Dodgers, and they
let that one get away. So yeah, it'll stink for
a minute until the day they go out and play.
We'll we'll see how it goes. But yeah, it's gonna stink.
You know, it's only a two game series. So if
this was a four game series, you know, and they
had a chance to play three more, maybe different. But
in a two game series where you had a chance
(11:01):
to take the first one in Chicago, yeah, that hurts
to put more pressure on today's game for them.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
All right, let's move to the Lakers now. Last night,
as they said, he JJ Reddick got red in the face.
JJ Reddick basically exploded at one point lost his mind.
He had seen enough, he had had enough, and it
was to a point where he needed to let somebody
know that this is not going to work. And the
(11:28):
Lakers came out Rodney and did what they needed to do.
They imposed their will. They held Minnesota at eighty five points.
You know, difficult that is in today's NBA. That's a
team that's working. That's a team that showed up to play.
And really, the Lakers last night were not a team
that got pushed around. Lebron had a good game, Luca
again had a great game, Austin Reeves had a good game.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
And there you go.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
They controlled the tempo, they dominated physically, and that's all
it took to beat Minnesota.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
You go, well, at least it was a wake up call. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
I didn't think they would need a wake up call,
but maybe they did.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
I don't know if.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
It felt like to me, you play it all the time,
it felt like to me that JJ Reddick time out
blow up, that he had and it was like, are
you epping kidding me?
Speaker 3 (12:29):
What are we epping doing? Time out, get out of here.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
It was a Tommy litsorta I'm going to get my
guys fired up, and I'm just doing this to get
the crowd into it and get my guys riled up.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Kind of a Hollywood show a little bit.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
I don't think it was real in terms of him
being deep down pissed off Matt as he showed he was.
I thought it. I thought it was an act. Okay,
when coaches get a technical on purpose, you know, because
they want to they want a bigger, deeper meeting down
the road for the team to see that, and I
thought that was That was part of JJ's little rant
(13:11):
right there that he had. I was like, Okay, I
got to do something changing things up, and and it worked.
It worked because, like you said, they went on it.
They not only just an offensive because they really didn't
go to offensives there, but they defensively, they as you mentioned,
they shut down a playoff team in Minnesota that it's
(13:31):
got a lot of firepower and that can score, and
they kept them under ninety points and that was that's
a credit to them playing defense and wanting to and
hustling and being aggressive last night. And I just think,
you know, based on the night before or the game before,
JJ felt like he needed to kind of light a
(13:53):
fire during mid game, and and that's what he did
on his rant.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
So you think.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
You think it was I don't want to say orchestrated.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Yeah, you can say that. I think it was. You know,
like you're talking. Remember Tommy used to come out, I, Hey, look,
you're doing a fantastic job. I just want you to
know you're calling the best game you've ever called in
your life.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
We always love it when you're here at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Ump in our game.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
I'm just doing all this to get my guys up
and get the fans into this thing.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
But this is nothing about you. This is all about
my team.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
And he's yelling and ranting and raving and throwing his
arms everywhere, and he's complimenting the umpire the whole time.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
But everybody else thinks he's yelling and screaming and cussing
the umpire out.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Yeah. I thought it was one of those moments.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Okay, did did the did the players know it with
one of those moments?
Speaker 3 (14:45):
Uh? I?
Speaker 2 (14:48):
I don't think no. But the only one I think
maybe have known that was one of those moments was
probably Lebron. By Lebron because he says something at the end,
at the end of the game, after the game, to
the point I forget what the exact what was that,
we know JJ's gonna fly off the handle or something
(15:09):
like that. He said, we know JJ's gonna go off
from time to time, so we expected kind of things.
So I think he might have known that, Hey, this
is this is JJ trying to fire us up. But
I don't think the rest of the guys do that. No,
I don't think they did, especially the younger guys are
the guys that are newer to the team. I don't
(15:29):
think they knew, you know. And and Luca's gonna be
Luca either way, so he's oblivious to any of that.
He's just gonna go out and play his game. But
I think, you know, guys like Austin Reeves and Vincent
and Vanderbilt and and Ruey and all those guys looked
at that and go, oh my god, we can we
better get our blank together, We better get our blank together.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
And they did well.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
If you're Minnesota now, obviously they're going home, so that
gives them a little pep in their step. But I
think now in the back of their mind they really
because after the first game, they came out, they were
fired up, they were able to basically pound the Lakers
right in the mouth, and they were thinking, Okay, all right,
we can beat these guys. After last night, they're probably
thinking this is not going to be easy now, and
(16:16):
if they could beat one in Minnesota right off the bat,
I think that basically takes.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Did you think that they thought it was gonna be easy?
Speaker 1 (16:24):
I think they know no, But I believe they probably
felt after winning the first game, as they did, we
got these guys. We got them, We understand what to do.
We know we're stronger, we know we can be more physical.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
We got it.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
So let's get out there and do the same thing again.
Because in this game last night, the difference was the
Lakers actually showed up as a group, they actually competed
with them physically.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
I mean, if you go out Rodney and and you're
playing quarterback and your team just completely dominates the other
team physically, runs the ball up and down the field,
you have time to throw, you beat them good but
you've also beat them down. You gotta believe the next
time out, the next time out, you can do it again.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
The difference is the next time out they're going to
start playing that way too. And I think it kind
of throws you off a little bit. What what is
this just a little bit just all of a sudden,
force is being met with force instead of we're just
plowing over you. And when that happened, that tells the
(17:42):
other team, That tells the Timberwolves these guys are as
strong as we are, We're not going to be able
to pound them physically.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Let's just put it like that.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
We thought after that first game we could do that,
we were more dominant physically. Now we realize we're not.
And I think that changes have just that little tweak.
We're not going to be able to bully these guys
like we did in Game one.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Uh maybe maybe, But it's a it's a it's a
long series, and and every game takes on its its
own complexion, and it could be that they've came in
and hit the Lakers in the mouth in Game one
and it felt like, Okay, look we did what we
were supposed to do. We came out here and we split.
(18:31):
That was our job. It's come out here and split.
You know, these first two games, we got the first one,
so the second game, you know, there's a could be
a natural tendency to kind of let down a little
bit or be a little bit overconfident. As you mentioned
they you know, we did that in the first game,
so we're gonna do it in the second game. When
every game is different, there's a different energy, there's a
(18:52):
different vibe to it. You know, the Lakers came out
flat in game one. You think they were gonna come
out and flat and game two, No, they're gonna come
out swinging in game two because their backs are against
the wall now. And so it's it could be a
part of you know, the Timberwolves like, Okay, now we're
going back home. We're going back home one one and
one as opposed to going back home down oh two.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
So we're as confident as we could be.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
They got to come to our building now, They got
to come to our building now, and they got to
play in front of our crowd, and and we're as
good as anybody, and I think that and the and
then the big thing that they got going for him
is that their superstar. Their guy does not lack any confidence.
He is not going to be intimidated by anybody or anything,
(19:38):
and so aunt Edwards is always going to believe he
can beat anybody in line up and play better than
anybody across from it, it doesn't matter who it is.
So when you got that guy as your leader, they
are not going to be intimidated.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
They're not going to, you know, shy away from the moment.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
They'll be ready to play, and and the Lakers better
be ready to play and they go back to Minnesota
as well.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
All Right, Well, I think, with all due respect to
ant Edwards, who was just terrific to watch, really so
much fun, the best player in the court is Luca.
And no disrespect to anybody on either team. You had
thirty seven of the first one thirty one last night.
The playoffs is where he really shines. He's the best
player in the court. So I understand the concern about
(20:23):
stopping Anthony Edwards, but I think they better figure out
a way to stop Luca.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
I hope they do, because if they.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Do, Lebron's going to score fifty nine points because they
can't stop them both.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Well, Luca, I don't think they Luca score forty. They
just can't let Lebron, you know, have a triple double,
and they can't let Austin Reeves score twenty points or
nineteen whatever he had and the other guys get going.
You know, Luca's going to find a way offensively get
his his You know, they can exploit him defensively, which
they you know, they did in Game one, and other
(20:54):
teams have done that. But what I'm amazed about is
how much Lebron is flying around the court, both sides
of the ball, up and down the court. At his age,
at this point in the season, the energy level that
he has given is blowing me away. And you know,
(21:15):
both those guys together a are playing fantastic. It is just,
you know, it's going to always come down to the
sporting cast how well Austin Reeves play, really plays, you know,
Vincent Bounderbelt, all these other guys plays, Jackson Hayes. But
those two are going to get theirs. And I think,
you know, Minnesota knows that and they're okay with that.
But you know, it's going to come down to the
(21:36):
other guys. He was playing ten years ago, the way
he's playing defense and running the court, up and down
the court. I mean he's doing given goes, getting the rebound,
kicking it out, and.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
He's part of the fast break.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
You know, you you don't see that from a forty
year old guy, and we're seeing that from him, which
is in itself is incredible.

Kings tonight. This person has been out for a year.
Someone is coming back specifically for this game, and we'll
talk about it. It's Roddy Pete fred Rogan. Let's go Freddy.
Eric Dickerson will be with us tomorrow during the one
o'clock hour. We'll talk NFL Draft, We'll talk whatever else
(22:46):
is on his mind. We'll refer to him in the
third person, which apparently he likes. So Ed will be
on the show during the one o'clock hour tomorrow. Now,
before we go any further, and I told somebody who
was going to mention this to you last night, Rodney
run into somebody. His name is Dave. Dave's from Palm Desert.
That does not ring a bell, does it. No, it
(23:08):
does not, Okay, and it shouldn't because you don't know Dave. Okay,
But Dave certainly has been a fan of yours forever.
And he said, to tell you, the best play Rotten
he ever made was at the end of the half
of the Ucla game where he threw a pick and
ran the guy down. Yes, he thought that was the
very best play you made in your collegiate career. Can
you talk about that play for Dave and everybody that
(23:28):
may not have seen it, and probably most people didn't.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Well, first of all, appreciate that Dave for mentioning that. Yeah. Well,
actually it's the number one play that people talk about
in my usc career, be honest with you, that they
bring up they bring up a lot of things, but
they bring up the play right before half and we're
playing Ucla in my junior year, and it's both teams
(23:58):
are pretty good.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
Ucla was rankedier than us. They had had a really
good year.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
They were loaded on on offense, Troickman's first year there
after transferring from Oklahoma, Gaston Green in the background, Ken
Norton on defense. I mean, they had they were loaded
with players, and so we had had a tough first
half and we moved the ball up and down the
field on it, but we just couldn't. We couldn't score.
We kicked a couple of field goals, we funneled the
(24:28):
ball going in. We got some penalties after you know
that wiped away some touchdown. So we just we were
just pissed because we couldn't we couldn't put points on
the board. And right before half, we're driving to score
and I think they're up thirteen to three or something
like that, and we got a chance to close the
gap and on our own five yard line or their
(24:48):
five yard line, we're going in. There's like ten seconds
left to go in the in the half, and we
were going for one more play and I rolled to
my left to try try to throw the ball into
the corner and it gets tipped tipped up in the air,
and then it gets intercepted by the late great Eric Turner,
who played at UCLA. It was an All American, ended
(25:09):
up playing for Cleveland in the NFL for a number
of years, Pro Bowl player. He intercepted at the goal line.
And mind you, this is right before half. They're up
thirteen to three, and he starts running and then I'm
looking up and going, oh my god, I gotta I
gotta go get him There's nobody else around to go
(25:30):
chase him down. So yeah, I ended up running and
faster than I've ever ran in my life and caught
him right around the five yard line as time ran
out in the half and kind of saved them, kind
of opening up the gap go ahead and having all
the momentum coming out for the second half, didn't allow
(25:52):
him to score a touchdown. So it went from a
terrible play by me throwing an interception right before half
and then turned into kind of a momentum swing by
me stopping him from scoring right before half because we
came back in the second half, ended up having a
really good second half and beating him, and that game
was for the Rose Ball and we ended up going
to the Rose Bowl.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
But yeah, that is It's crazy.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
How you know all the things you do that you
remember for throwing an interception at you, that's that's the
number one thing that people remember for me.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
All right, So you through the interception, Yeah, he picks
it off. I'm sure in the back of your mind
you're going, God, damn it. Yeah, all right, So now
we got that. All of a sudden, he starts running
and you start running.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
Yeah all right.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
What what runs through your mind as you're now chasing him,
because you know you got to do something here? What
is going through your mind?
Speaker 3 (26:46):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (26:47):
You know, Well, look all you're thinking about as a
quarterback that one of the worst things that can happen
to you is you throw pick six, right, And that's
the thing, you like, one of the worst things can happened.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
So you don't ever want to do that.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
And oftentimes you'll see the guy that saves the tackle
on an interception going for a touchdown is usually most
of the time it's the quarterback that is the last resort.
So in my mind, I'm thinking, I just I can't
let him score. I just cannot let him score. And
so I'm chasing. And if we line up and ran
a forty yard dash, Fred. He probably beat me ten
(27:23):
out of ten times and beat me by a nice
good margin. But at that moment, usually, oftentimes the bastest
player on the field is the quarterback who just threw
the interception. And I was able to get another gear
going and go get him and look up and thank
god because because it was so late in half, there
was only ten seconds left in the half when I
(27:44):
threw the interception. Is that time ran out when I
tackled him at the five yard line before he got
a chance to score. So they didn't even get a
chance to kicking a field goal right before half either,
because time ran out and I was able to stop that.
So yeah, you're thinking, I just I gotta do it
whatever I can. I cannot let him score right here.
This is gonna be disastrous if I did.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Can you hear the crowd?
Speaker 2 (28:08):
No, not at that moment, not that moment. It's just
it's just all in your head. It's uh, you know,
things get quiet at that moment, and you're thinking, I
gotta find something in me to go get him.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
I cannot let him score.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
And you're just finding different ways to just try to
try to run as fast as you can, different angles
do I take this and the angle you know, left
about ten yards into the interception because he got ahead
of me and I had to go chase him. So
I was running from behind, I think, and thank god,
he probably thought he had you know, he had a
(28:41):
walk in. But as I went to go get him,
I was like I got closer and closer and closer.
It was like, I just gotta I gotta bring him
down before halftime.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
And yeah, it was.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
It was one of those plays that looking back at it,
it was a big momentum swing.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Does he say anything to you?
Speaker 2 (28:59):
He passed away, Fred, Unfortunately he uh Eric had a
you know cancer, But yeah, he passed away at the
moment during the game after you made oh no, no, no,
not at that moment. Although I might have grabbed his
face backs a little bit on the tackle, which I
(29:21):
think I think if you go back and look at
the video that that I think he gestured that I
pulled his face mask. But if I did, it was
I just barely touched it.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
I didn't.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
I didn't bring him down by the face mask. No,
that might have been it. But no, he didn't say anything.
But I know they were the whole team as we
ran up the tunnel because you run up the same
tunnel at the coliseum. There were a lot of choice
words coming from the the U c l A Players
as we as we ran up that tunnel, as if
(29:53):
that was the game was over at that point pretty much.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
All right, have you ever wanted to be a fly
on the wall?
Speaker 3 (30:00):
Where? I always want to be a fly on the wall?
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (30:01):
All right.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
I like when it happens, And to me, it happens
more than most people because I'm so innocuous, and I
end up places where I shouldn't and I look so
clueless that nobody really knows I'm there.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
Dock or you end up places where you shouldn't.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
I always have, and I just always seem so lost.
I just show up places and no one even really
thinks about it because they can't figure out who I
am or what I'm doing there, so they continue their conversations,
and then you become a fly on the wall. Last night,
that's time, I'm sitting somewhere mindy my own business, not
talking to a single person. As a matter of fact,
(30:38):
you know what I'm doing. I'm having a little salad,
having a little salad. Yeah, Okay, there are these two
people at this table. I'm by myself. These two people
apparently know each other, but it was a table where,
you know, if there's a seat, you sit out. So
they're talking and one guy says to the other one, yeah,
the Kings they're done, they're done. And a guy goes, oh,
(31:03):
I know, I know, I know. You know when they
blew that lead the other night, they were finished. And
the guy says, yeah, you know, they scored on that
lucky goal to win the game.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
He sayeh, I know, I know, but I'll tell.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
Edmonton's way too strong for these guys, way too much
for these guys. There's no way they can stop Connor
McDavid again. I mean, he scored that late goal, but
there's no way. Guy's oh yeah, yeah yeah, and he goes,
as a matter of fact, I don't know if there
could have been an easier first round matchup for the Oilers.
(31:34):
And a guy said, sure, yeah, I hear that. Really,
what is it with the Kings? I mean they're good
and everything, but you know.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
Okay, so when this is happening, Fred, what's going on
in your body right now? You're like boiling right, You're
like you can't wait to say something I know you.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
Right right, But I'm thinking to myself, these guys don't
even know who I am, and basically, despite the fact
that I'm sitting right there, don't even know I exist.
So then I thought to myself, so if I enter
into this conversation, what have I done. I've inserted myself
into something where these guys aren't going to care and
they think I'll be a complete idiot. So I just
(32:14):
listened to this Rodney. I just keep listening, and yeah,
I'll tell you what, It's gonna be a different game.
Sure you have that right. I mean, Kings are fine,
but come on, Edmundson is the best team in hockey.
So I started thinking to myself, how many people really
that follow the NHL believe that, how many people really
believe that that, Oh my god, this is just gonna
(32:37):
be now, they're going to destroy them, just run them over.
And I thought, that's how little respect the Kings get.
That's how little respect nationally the Kings get that. Oh,
sure you know what they are, roadkill a speed bump.
Then they got in a way, but that's not going
(32:58):
to be an issue because we oh, they're going to
just get rolled over here pretty quick. And I sat
there and listened to that, and I thought, you know,
maybe I'll say something. Maybe I'll tell the guys what
a bunch of thugs the oilers are and how dirty
they are. I was thinking of that, and I said, no, nope,
I just finished my salad. I just looked at the
two of them. Then I considered the two of them
(33:19):
after looking at them that were saying it. And you
wouldn't invite either one of these guys to your house
to a party. You wouldn't even It's like, I don't
know who you are, but you're certainly not coming to
my house.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
For any party.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
Guys, And I thought, uh, okay, So it's a respect issue.
That's the issue here. It's a respect issue. And they
go back at it tonight. Now Evander King, who by
the way, wins the award for being a dirtier player
than Darnell Nurse. I mean, Evander King is dirty. He
(33:51):
hasn't played in a year after a couple of surgeries.
He'll be back tonight. He will be back in action tonight.
He's coming back for tonight. Just to short things up, back,
there are these coming back.
Speaker 3 (34:08):
A much needed returns. What you're saying oh yeah, you know.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
I mean, now, you know, you just don't hope those
guys aren't wearing brass knuckles tonight because basically they brought
him in now and he is an old time enforcer.
Plus he can play a little bit. I'm not saying
he can't, but he is. He's a dirty player. So
(34:32):
you know have Evander Kine who is a dirty player.
Darnell Nurse, he'll be back tonight for another one after
the other night.
Speaker 3 (34:41):
He's a dirty player.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
And if you just look at them, I think if
the Kings jump out to will lead tonight, and I
pray they do, because then you will start to see
this air of desperation. And that's when it's going to
get fun, when Edmund and turns to an air of desperation. Look,
they thought they should have won. These guys at the
(35:04):
table last night, thought they should have won the other
night when they came from behind and with that magnificent Kings.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
Kings gave it up more so than Edmonton. Really one
w that's what that's what they said. One that came now,
Edmonton should have won. And oh I didn't say anything.
You didn't say anything. You just let it go. What
a bigger, that's you.
Speaker 4 (35:27):
You know it.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
It's sort of like Rodney and I don't know, and
if you're far more recognizable than I am. But it's
like if you're an event Dodger Stadium or even at
the crypt hockey basketball whatever, and you're sitting there and
there's some people behind you, yeah, and they will not
shut up.
Speaker 3 (35:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:44):
And these people know everything right, everything, they do everything,
I mean everything, And you're listening to this and you're
sitting there and you're thinking to yourself, Man, if we
had you on the air right now and you were
saying that stuff, I think when we got done with you,
you'd be trembling and never call back. I mean, that's
(36:06):
how absurd the stuff is. And you sit there and
you listen to it, and sometimes the people I'm with
look at me to say something I never do, right,
I never say a word.
Speaker 3 (36:18):
That's your time. Were you by yourself or you somebody
with people that.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
Oh I'm with somebody, you know they're something next to me.
They can hear it too, because it depends on who
you're with.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
Because if you're with somebody that is, like you said,
that's cool and quiet, they know who you are. They
know that you know, you're probably gonna let this go,
but sometimes you could be with just as much of
an instigator as those people were, which I've been because
we both know my friend Chris Hale. Right, oh god, yeah,
(36:49):
so we knowing back back at we're at Notre Dame,
Notre Dame USC a few years back. This is the
last year of Clay Hill and it's not going well
for USC.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
Wait, hold your story, Hold your story. We'll finishing when
we come back. Yeah, deal, Yeah, we're only an hour
today now, we're getting all that right, that's right, Okay,
So when we come back, finish the story, then we'll
say goodbye.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
Yep, all right, then Today's afternoon Delight is forever a
dom Dalla. The Australian house DJA officially dropped his track
over the weekend after surprising the audience at his Madison
Square Garden performance with an appearance by rap star Kid Cuddy,
(37:35):
who is a featured artist on this song. Social media
post about the collab, he wrote, I grew up on
Cuddy's music and it was, like many of you, the
soundtrack to my youth. When we got in the studio,
the first thing he said to me was domb I
don't write sad music anymore. I want to write the
happiest song I've ever done again. Today's Afternoon Delight is
(37:59):
forever a dom Dalla and Kid Cuddy. An Afternoon Delight

we ain't got a minute or so. So we're at
Notre Dame and this is the last year of Clay Hilton.
Se is looking probably gonna go in a different direction
coaching wise, and there's big talk, you know, and then
Notre Name Stadium's got an old stadium. They got those
(38:38):
long line and urinals stacked up and people are in
line for it. So in line Chris Hale the instigator,
People are talking about who do you think us he's
gonna get as a coach. Who do you think USC
should bring in as a coach. They can probably get anybody,
but who do you think they should bring in, and
of course Chris Hale says loud, loud and a big crowd.
(38:59):
You know, I think they bring in Rodney Peach should
be the head coach. Rodney Peach, didn't you bring it?
Speaker 3 (39:04):
And there's.
Speaker 2 (39:06):
There's a guy about five people ahead of us that
turns around loud that k know who I am, doesn't
know I'm in line, and said.
Speaker 4 (39:14):
Rodney Pete, No, I grew up in Detroit. He's terrible.
Speaker 3 (39:18):
I hated him there and he's to be the worst
coach ever. What in the world you talking about?
Speaker 2 (39:23):
And of course Chris breaks out and last and last
and walks up.
Speaker 3 (39:27):
To the guy in the urinal in the bathroom.
Speaker 2 (39:31):
Hey, I want to introduce you to Rodney Pete and
the guy. The guy must have wanted to crawl into
a hole, and he started to apologize and do all
those things.
Speaker 3 (39:42):
So we all finished, we go back. He's done before us.
Speaker 2 (39:45):
We come out of the bathroom getting ready to go
back to our seats, and we run into the guy
going back to our seats, and the first thing he
said to me was, Hey, do you mind if I
get a picture in an aunograph from you?
Speaker 3 (40:01):
Like?
Speaker 2 (40:01):
What what you talk good about? You just dogged me
in the ural front of like four hundred people, and
now you want to picture in an autograph.
Speaker 3 (40:12):
I was like, oh my god.
Speaker 2 (40:14):
But yeah, that's a moment where you know, you're just
sitting back hearing people talking. You don't want to say anything,
and I certainly wasn't going to say anything. But of
course you know, you're with the wrong crowd. And they
said something because if you would have been with the
wrong crowd, they would have said something to those guys.
Speaker 3 (40:27):
Hey, you know this is Fred Rogan.
Speaker 2 (40:28):
Fred Rogan knows more about sports and his little finger
than you do all your whole damn body. And he's
he's been a broadcast in this town for forty years.
What are you talking about? The Kings are terrible and
this and that, and they would have put you on
the spot. But thank god you aren't with that crowd. No,
and of course you were. That's the price you pay, yeah,
(40:50):
for being Chris Hale's friend.
Speaker 3 (40:51):
Exactly, exactly, all right.
Speaker 1 (40:54):
Three hours for us tomorrow. Eric Dickerson will be here.
We'll talk somebout draft during the one o'clock hour. Uh
and uh, we'll talk about what happened with the Kings.
