Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can you explain to me what kind of druss Roger
Goodell is on claiming that moving NFL games to streaming
as fan friendly.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
I mean, that's what he's claiming, and.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
He's trying to say that the NFL fans are all
good with that. You come on, man, what is It's
just it's it's all hogwash.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
He is gaslighting.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
He's trying to get except the fans are going, dude,
what crack are you smoking?
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Like, what are you exactly smoking? In order to try.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
To I don't want to pay to watch NFL football.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
I should be able to watch it on network television
for absolutely free.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
If didn't, he didn't, somebody ask let's bring in Alex Stone,
who's a he's a sports fan, Alex, you're a sports fan?
Speaker 5 (00:46):
Sure?
Speaker 2 (00:46):
I mean to hear something like.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
This, I was like, come on, dude, really, you're trying
to tell everybody and that's fine. If you can't take
a position on that, I understand, man, because I was.
Speaker 6 (00:55):
Curious, was he saying it won't be on regular TV
or like in addition the regular TV?
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Well he's in addition to because sometimes he's saying that,
you know, NFL games on like Amazon or Peacock. They
are fan friendly, and it makes the point that fans
are you know, bailing networks for streaming, and so he's like,
we got to go where the fans are, is what
he's trying to say.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
And nothing, I say nothing.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
At the risk of sounding like Foghorn leg sounding like
Foghorn leghorn, nothing, I say nothing. It is will ever
replace free TV over rabbit hole.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Look, I mean, look at what we're dealing with tonight.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
For instance, there's uh some people that are upset that
you know they now like for Alex's parent company, Disney,
this dispute what direct TV that's going on? Okay, Now,
luckily broadcast ABC will be airing the game as well.
But I think moving forward, I think the games are
just on Monday Night Football.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Because think about this.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
ABC's got a whole starting next week and the week after.
They have a whole slew of brand new shows that
they gotta do. They can't sim like Fall Fall Fall,
shows that the advertisers pay really big money for, so
they're not gonna be able to just every Monday night,
you know, simulcasts what's on ESPN. This is only I
think for Opening Day if.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
That thing doesn't. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but but if.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
It doesn't get cleared up soon, you're gonna have people
missing on on Monday night football. Now are those people
saying I wish there was another streaming option.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
I don't know, but I do.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Know moving forward, that's gonna be a big deal if
your team's on Monday Night and you're a direct TV
and because of this dispute.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
You won't be able to get ESPN. Yeah, Alex. We
talked to Jason Nathanson about this too.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Who uh man, he took a shot at you, by
the way. Yeah, he was like, he's like making fun
of you, he said, yeah, I'm just paraphrasing, but something
to the effect that like he was better.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
He was like I'm better than him or something.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
Yeah, that doesn't sound about right. You guys, are you
staring back to him?
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Are you staring at him right now?
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Do you?
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Guys?
Speaker 5 (03:06):
Not at the moment, but we'll be in ten minutes.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Just go, hey Blazer, let me know you took a
shot at me. Man, So I'm not happy with that.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
And I only have two words about tonight.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Go Niners, Oh, go niners.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
Okay, I'm rock perty.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Oh do you have of your fantasy quarterback.
Speaker 6 (03:23):
Well, no, who do I have? I have Josh Allen
in one league, and I have Mahomes in the other.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Oh im bad I have?
Speaker 4 (03:29):
I have MC tonight, buddy, I had the number one
overall pick in my league.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
So what did you get for that? That touchdown? Josh Allen?
I mean, good lord, he offered himself up.
Speaker 6 (03:38):
To really well yesterday that league didn't do so well.
In my Mahomes league. Actually, I'm losing against my eleven
year old son in that league. But in the Josh
Allen one, that's a work league, and I kicked some booty.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
That's good. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
So anyway, Yeah, we were talking to Jason about that,
and with the whole situation with direct to I have
direct TV, but what's in interesting is, yeah, the ESPN
it's blacked out and I checked it this morning, but
then I get ABC on there.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
So I don't understand exactly how this works.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
All I know is I told Josh I double checked
it on my guide to make sure it was going
to be on tonight because I figured we would talk
about it today and I wanted to make sure. Now,
direct TV streaming is a different story, but I don't
have the direct TV streaming. I have the regular dish
out in the you know, the backyard. Absolutely, I have that. Yeah, man,
(04:29):
as a matter of fact, dude, I love it. The
amount well, so the picture quality is far superior than
any cable service. And I also have streaming too, but
I don't have like a YouTube or a sling or
you know, any of those. As far as for normal programming,
I still use direct TV for that. But man, you know,
(04:52):
you get the pixelating and all that with the streaming,
and I'm getting one from the very top as far
as my internet service, and it's the best. It's almost
the best that you can get that is offered in
the area where I live. So I start thinking, I'm like, man,
you know Stone maybe gets on his he is a
(05:13):
virtual reality thing that he write. It's like any of
that kind of stuff starts and it's almost like, you know,
you're also sharing with the neighborhood and all this crap.
So I'm just like, man with directing me. I know
it sounds neolithic, but oh.
Speaker 5 (05:28):
No, no, you're good.
Speaker 6 (05:28):
I just we actually drove when we're driving into our
neighborhood this weekend, I saw a neighbor that had dish
up there, and I said to my wife.
Speaker 5 (05:34):
Ago, I wonder if they still use that.
Speaker 6 (05:36):
Yeah, there was getting a little rusty, but apparently the
actual dish is still a thing.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
I love it, man, when it is locked in. And
now it's to the point too. If you're getting seriously
heavy rain or some heavy snow in this literally, man,
it might be like three days, four days out of
three hundred and sixty five where you're gonna have a
little bit of interference. It's it's usually short lived. And
(06:04):
even when that happens. Now it goes to streaming, it
just clicks over and it's lower resolution, but you don't
lose any of the live programming, so it's interesting.
Speaker 5 (06:14):
It goes lower.
Speaker 6 (06:14):
So we're a YouTube TV family and we geting like
four K and it looks great.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
I would get that in a second.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
If they had Bally Sports, which has the Red Cincinnati
Reds also has the Columbus Blue Jackets. If they offered that,
which they don't hear locally, for YouTube TV, I would
have already switched because I would be paying for the
ticket too, because I'm a Steeler fan and I love
the NFL ticket.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
That's why I had direct TV. All those years.
Speaker 5 (06:37):
That's what first got h it's not available there anymore. Yeah,
you're right.
Speaker 6 (06:40):
Yeah, and the price keeps going up, but still for
like seventy four bucks, it's a lot less than a
lot of others.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
You got that right, That is one hundred percent, one
hundred percent correct. So this is interesting. The Idaho judge
is deciding to move the University of Idaho Idaho murder trials.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Alex.
Speaker 6 (06:57):
Yeah, so you remember we were talking about this and
a half ago when the judge named Judge Judge, his
name is John Judge, it's Judge Judge Judge in Lighttak County, Idaho,
that he had this hearing and it was all about
where they were going to hold the trial, which is
set for next summer, and Brian Coberger's defense attorneys argued
(07:18):
that in the small county that they're in, that there
is no way that the Coburger can get a fair
trial there, And mainly they put the focus on all
the media attention on the murders of the four University
of Idaho students, saying that there's just there's no way
because there's so much anger and passion in the community,
and they say that the Coburger he has been shown
(07:41):
as the suspect so many times in local media that
he would automatically be seen as guilty to Jerry Pool
that has seen him on the news and heard about
him and listen to podcasts and everything else, all of
them that are out there. But prosecutors said, look, just
being in the media isn't grounds to change the venue
of a trial, and that just being seen and called
(08:03):
a suspect is nottaining the jury. Pool Well, Idaho's deputy
ag said the case needs to remain in Leyta County,
that that's where it happened, that's where the jury of
peers would be.
Speaker 5 (08:14):
That they cannot move in.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
This case just does not support a change of venue
given the evidence that the court.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Has before it.
Speaker 6 (08:21):
But Brian Coberger's defense team said he cannot get a
fair trial in the local community.
Speaker 5 (08:28):
Arguable, mister Coberger.
Speaker 6 (08:29):
Has the constitutional right to a fair trial by an
impartial jury and to guarantee that this court must change venue.
So they want it moved to the Boise area, about
three hundred miles away. They say there's less attention, less passion,
there less anger against Coburger and Mark. They say that
they have a survey that showed a mob mentality in
(08:51):
the local community against Coburger, with one person even saying
that they would burn down the courthouse if he's not convicted.
Speaker 5 (08:58):
So it's been up to the judge. He did not
rule at the end of the hearing, and today he.
Speaker 6 (09:02):
Issued his ruling, and he has said this was the
hardest decision he's ever had to make. If he leaves
a trial in Layta County in the Moscow area, it
would be ripe for appeal if Coburger is convicted, saying, look,
he couldn't get a fair trial, that everybody thought he
was guilty.
Speaker 5 (09:17):
But moving it means great cost.
Speaker 6 (09:20):
He would not be tried by a jury of his peers,
a lot of other issues of families, the victims are
very much against moving it and having to travel. But
today he said the defense team did meet what he
said as a low standard of showing a reasonable likelihood
that all of the news coverage that that would compromise
a fair trial and little rural Lata County, So.
Speaker 5 (09:40):
We don't know where it's going to go. It's going
to go somewhere.
Speaker 6 (09:42):
Idaho's Supreme Court is now going to have to get
involved in name another venue maybe in Boise, But where
in Idaho it's going to go They don't know. But
this is a win for Brian Coberger.
Speaker 5 (09:52):
He wanted to move. It's going to be moved.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Yeah, I know it.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
It feels to me like with this gaining so much
nash notoriety, that it's tough with a lot of these
type you know, the these type situations with especially with
social media being so blanketed, if you will, with these
kinds of things, especially when it first happened in all
(10:16):
the difference, it would feel like Alex that it would
be hard to get any kind of a fair trial
anywhere in the United States. But the fact that some
time has gone by might make people kind of not
really forgetful, but maybe not as hot on it, if
you will. And so with them moving it, But so
is it for sure going to it has to stay
in the state of Idaho.
Speaker 6 (10:37):
Correct, It's got to remain in Idaho because it's in
state court. It's not a federal trial. But where it's
going to go probably, I mean where they've been pushing
for boys that would make the most sense of being
a bigger community that could handle a big case like this.
They had already typically a trial in Leyta County, they
put aside like fifteen hundred dollars for it. They have
(10:59):
put a side one hundred and fifty thousand dollars for
this one, and that may still not be enough, just
to deal with security and jury selection and all of that. Now,
the argument the prosecutors made, they said, look, you could
move it, just like you said, anywhere in the country,
but especially anywhere in I know, and it doesn't matter.
Everybody knows about this, and everybody in Boise he knows
(11:20):
about it, just like they do in Laytak County.
Speaker 5 (11:22):
But their argument being you got to try that.
Speaker 6 (11:24):
If he is convicted in Laytak County, they're immediately going
to appeal and say, look, we told you you couldn't
get a fair jury here. They're angry in Moscow. At
least if you get three hundred miles away, they may
know about it but not be passionately involved in it.
So the judge saying, he's got to do it, but
that does increase the price. They got to make everybody travel,
(11:46):
They got to find a jury in the area they're
going to go to, so this makes it a lot
more complex.
Speaker 5 (11:51):
But the judge said he decided he had to do it.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Yeah, in Laytak County.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
I don't know what kind of timeframe we were talking about,
but now you can add at least a couple of months, right,
I mean, if not.
Speaker 6 (12:01):
Most like, I mean, they've set a trial date for July,
June or July right around that timeframe. But no doubt
that wherever it's going to go, they're going to say, well,
now they've got to get ready, and they it could
be even.
Speaker 5 (12:11):
Later than that.
Speaker 6 (12:12):
And still Coberger's defense team says that they are going
to show that the evidence does not support what prosecutors
and a lot of media have shown that it supports.
They say that they're going to show that that he
didn't do it.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Yeah, very good, very good, excellent. Alex Stone, ABC News
out of Los Angeles, Alex, is it a.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Little bit cooler there today?
Speaker 5 (12:32):

upper nineties and then the.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
