Speaker 1 (00:01):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio. That's go. Let's go, Arnie.
We don't have much time. We only got two hours.
We gotta get after it. By a loser. If I
go to Ben and Jerry's and just get vanilla, no,
why do you have You know there's actually the Ben
and Jerry's here in Vermont has flavors that you guys

(00:22):
have even heard of. They don't sell nastally. I just
want you to know that to start the show off.
Go ahead, Okay, I screamed today too. I cheated as well,
so you and I. But I was at the actual
place and I took my picture under the half baked side.
I don't know if you saw that on my on
my Twitter account, you'll have to go and look at that.
My whole goal was to try to keep my mind
clear for the show tonight, so I did not allow

(00:45):
social media to uh sway me in in one fashion
or the other until I don't know, Arnie, right about
say five o'clock Pacific time, I clicked on Twitter and
I lost my mind over what I saw, which which
we'll get you coming up in just a bit. But
allow me to take care of the great paper. Go
before you talk about yourself. Uh, fifteen minutes could save

(01:05):
you or more on car insurance. All you have to
do is visit Geico dot com for a free rate quote.
We have a busy show tonight. We're gonna get you
ready as only the stink ingenious scan for the World
Cup Finals, semifinals and finals. I mean, when you think
Soccer Insider Arenie, I'm not the picks have been dead
on so far in this world. I've been in Soccer
Insider now for about three weeks and I've just been fantastic.

(01:28):
I have to go and even pat myself on the back.
It's kind of feel good. Um. I have a story
that we'll get to from Pennsylvania about a couple who
decided that they needed to kill fireflies because they thought
they were aliens. He hasn't who hasn't had that problem?
So it happens to the best of us, of course,
of course, and it already gave me homework this week, guys,

(01:51):
Eric Bobo Di Seger, You'll be impressed with the work
I put into this. But the big lead loved them.
Some lists how to rundown of the best values from
a contractual perspective in the NFL heading into twenty. I
don't want to send you that I shouldn't have, send
you that you shouldn't have, because I think you probably
forgot you even sent it to me. But now you're
gonna geek out. And then I made the big mistake

(02:11):
of right before the show, I saw a list of
like the best college football conferences, and you, well, this
is the list season, and we don't do the Mountain
Rushmore is around here, but definitely we're definitely list junkies.
But you said, hey, come up with the biggest I
guess you could say, Secky Busses on the old contractual

(02:33):
situation in the NFL the least uh. I guess you
could just say, who are the most overpaid? You talk
about the best values, who are the worst values in
the NFL. I've got my own list that will get
to coming up later on in the show. Plus is
anti mentioned, we've got conference talk in college football. As always,
we love to hear from you throughout the night at
Stinking Genius One that's on. If you ever want to

(02:55):
truly truly take over the show, all you have to
do is tweet at Arnie. It's like it's like if
shinye flashlight to a kiddie poom. He just flocks right
to It's like a little light. And then I don't
pay attention to Plank at all, and then he says
something to me. I go, what what just happened? You
can implode the whole show, stinking genius want s C
I and K I and genius in the number one
I'm at Plank show. But we gotta start with something

(03:16):
on you that I don't I don't know if I'm
if I'm missing a storyline somewhere. I don't know if
there's a narrative that's playing out that I'm not hip to.
I mean, I'm a little older, I'm stuck here in
the Midwest, so so maybe I'm missing some outrage. But
why would anyone be mad about Lebron James coming to
the Los Angeles Lakers? And why would there be a

(03:38):
boy that whole three hundred dollar bounty? Well, I mean,
you talk about paying some bills there, But why would
anyone want to deface a mural of what might be
the best thing to happen to the Lakers in the
better part of the last six seven years From first

(03:59):
tell the story? What exactly because I don't know if
everybody around the country heard about the Do I call
it a bounty? Is this not bounty gate? I don't
even know what they call it there, Laker Gate, Lebron Gate,
I don't know what it is. Twitter Gate, maybe okay,
lebron gate, because everything in sports has to have a
gate attached to it. There was a mural uh an

(04:22):
incredibly well put together mural painted Lincoln Boulevard right now
far from Venae Speech where I like to hang out shirtless.
I just want to throw that out there, which is
now I think, helping y'all with whatever you had for
dinner tonight. But it was a mural showing Lebron in
the Lakers uniform and calling him the King of l

(04:42):
a and went up right outside his arnie laid out
of barbecue joint in Venice, Texas, Venice Beach. Excuse me.
There was a fan on Twitter who called himselves the
unofficial spokesperson for the Laker fan base. Now, if you
give yourself that title, kudos, but again, you are giving
yourself that title. Offered three hundred dollar cash reward for

(05:04):
the vandalization of the mural, and I guess when someone
questioned question him on it. He basically said that, hey, uh,
no murals until he wins a title in l A,
which again is just I'm sorry. I didn't know we
had rules for painting murals. There's a damn murraal of
Steven Adams up in Oklahoma City. I don't think anyone's
gonna go deface it because he hasn't won a title.

(05:26):
But I digress. Someone took him up on the offer,
and three people took him up on the offer, from
what I heard, more than one, okay, three? Then the
one I saw was yellow spray paint that says we
don't want you a fraud and three and six as
a reference to Lebron. I thought the three and six

(05:47):
was another person. It might be. It might be because
there's also no king that's painted on there as well.
To uh. User on Twitter actually took credit for the vandalism,
posted video of the proof and for the three d
dollar reward before deleting their account, which again not probably
smart to put that evidence out there. But again, this

(06:09):
dude offered up someone to vandalize wall, so I hope
you actually pay out for it. But again, I mean,
I I don't understand Arnie. Maybe I'm shortsighted, Maybe I
think a mural has to be earned, not given. But
is this the dumbest thing that we've There is no
backlash to this, right, there could possibly be inger amongst
the Laker fan base about Lebron coming. This is idiocy, right,

(06:32):
first tell me that you know we we we joke
around about it, but really, I mean, first of all,
why would you do that to hurt the painter, the artist,
I mean, to to do that to their work. Second
of all, what is the big deal? What's going on here?
You know I heard Koby on uh with Doug Gottlieban
and Jason Smith and he you know, he he was great.

(06:53):
Think there's no animosity between him and Lebron. And you
know whose team and who owns l A And I
never even heard of such a thing. Why this is
going on? And why this is even Laker fans? Laker
fans are the ones complaining? Is that a Kobe always
be a Kobe team? Well, Lebron take it over. I mean,
it's it's pure stupidity. I I never even heard of

(07:16):
such a thing, like you said, so for them to
even you know, contemplate and debate this all over sports
radio in Los Angeles is ridiculous to begin with, Chris,
I just can't fathom this is going on. I mean,
this is just it blows my mind. And maybe maybe
I'm as Eddie Murphy once said, and I don't remember
if it was delirious or raw. If you give a

(07:36):
starving person a cracker, they it's the greatest thing they've
ever had in their life. He makes them steam. That's great, cracker.
Maybe that's me now as a Laker fan that it's
it's been a while now, granted eight years. Still, it's
been a while since this team was relevant in a
championship conversation when they went back to back in two
thousand and ten, when they had beaten Boston and won

(07:58):
the previous year. But Arnie, just let me lay out
a couple of numbers, just just quickly, and we can
move on from this and hopefully this is a hey
how about that? And maybe it's not as big of
a deal as people are making it out to be.
But I just want to make this real clear. The
Lakers have won more than thirty games one time in
the last five seasons, and that was thirty five wins

(08:20):
this year. They process Chris Trust. The process, well, the
process wasn't very much a positive move in the right direction.
On the graph, there was twenty seven wins, wins, seventeen wins,
and thirty five during those five seasons in which the
Lakers were mired in last place, not only consistently in

(08:41):
the lottery, but around the top three picks in the
draft Lebron James. And those five seasons won sixty eight
playoff games. You heard me right, sixty eight playoff games,
which is more than about the last two seasons combined
for the Lakers, and it's more than the first three
seasons during that five year run for the Acres. So
are you morons? I mean, I don't think anyone's sitting

(09:03):
around worried about getting credit. I think people want to
see teams improve. And if you're worried about whether or
not there's gonna be a title about King of l
A or what, this is just I'm sorry, but it's
the dumbest thing I've ever heard in my life. And
if this dude is the unofficial leader of the fans,
then he needs to be unofficially fired. It's the dumbest
thing I've ever heard. You have to understand too. There's

(09:25):
a lot of knuckleheads and probably you wanted to face
the mural, and they don't even care about basketball, the Lakers, Cleveland,
Lebron or Kobe or anything like that. Just a bunch
of knuckleheads that are that are doing it. I've actually
we put it up on the faith on Twitter on
Fox Sports Radio, so I'll retweet that out. But you know,
just to see them do something to a work of
art like that, because I mean, it was a beautiful mural,

(09:47):
not what I don't know if they could touch it
up or if they do it all over again, but
I mean, it's really bs. I think I have to
have a security guard around that thing. Lebron James Arnie
one more playoff games in the last five years is
then the Lakers won total games during this five year
stretch in the first three years combined. Why, I mean, listen,

(10:07):
I understand that you're looking at it from a pure well,
the same guy that band there would be the same
guy cheering for Lebron once they start winning games and
going to an NBA championship. Oh my gosh, I just
I don't it doesn't make any sense to me whatsoever.
I don't. I don't understand anger if you want to
be I even had a problem with the way thunder

(10:28):
fans acted when Kevin Durant left. I have a problem
whenever you're up burning jerseys. You know, this is the
eight year anniversary of the decision. Did you know that
it was eight years ago on this day when Lebron
James came out and said I'm taking my talents to
South Beach eight years ago today. I didn't have a
problem when he did that. I mean, most of these

(10:50):
guys gave their franchises plenty of years, and yet here's
a dude that finally decided to go to a place
where thirty five wins last year when he won fifty
and made it to the NBA Finals. But hey, you're
taking it more personal, you see. You're because the people
that are tweeting in or like lock them off, you know,
more of a work of art. You're taking it more personal,

(11:10):
like like they've faced Lebron himself or something like that. Well,
now here's I guess maybe it's maybe this is one
of those situations where I just need to have a
little conversation in the mirror where I realized that some
people haven't really paid attention the last five years. I
guess they don't really understand what has happened. You you

(11:30):
joke about trusting the process, Maybe you haven't really watched
the games I have. I remember dumping it download of
Robert Sockra to get a big bucket. I remember those
moments where you're just keeping your fingers crossed that Brook
Lopez can knock down the side. Come on, it's a
whole new era in Laker basketball. Ensure, it's a franchise

(11:51):
that expects success. But my god, ARN'TI I mean to
have this kind of attitude over a stupid mural and
a dude that basically went to a free agent situation
that over these last five years everybody has said no to.
It makes zero sense to me. Again, I'm sorry to
jump in because I just saw that again. I'll bring

(12:11):
the show to a grinding hall. You know what somebody
tweeted at me, steak of genius. As a guy who's
grown up in southern California and coach high school basketball
here for the past four years, I want nothing to
do with Lebron coming here. It has nothing to do
with Kobe and I. Then what does it have to
do but have nothing to do with Kobe. What does
it have to do with that? Chris? Is that guy

(12:32):
being serious right now? I mean, Pumpkin King two, Are
you really being serious? Why wouldn't he That's a serious tweet.
I just why don't you want better players on your team?
Why would anyone come out that be like? I don't
want Aaron Rodgers as my quarterback, Arnie, Uh, he can

(12:54):
go do his own thing. Get Aaron Rodgers out of here.
Do you know who I don't unless you're in my
baseball team. I don't want Clayton Kershaw. Get him. I
mean you're thinking he's like a Peyton Manning were at
the end of his career. People, I don't want Peyton
Manning on might team. He's old and washed up. Do
people think Obron's gonna be old and washed up? I
don't know. Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox If

(13:15):
you want to jump in on this also, you can
hit us up on Twitter if you want to bring
the show to a grinding halt. Tweet at Stinking Genius.
That's at stink Ingenius. Want S T I and k
I Ingenius to the number one at Plank show. This
is more than just about defacing a mural. This is
about apparently this narrative that's playing out that a Lebron
James is and welcome in l A. Are we crazy?

(13:35):
All right? When we come back to the Geico Fox
Sports Radio Studios, the NBA has stolen a lot of
the offseason conversations from from the NFL, and maybe for
good reason, but we have some football news to get to,
including maybe some positive notes for New York Jets fans.
We'll do it next with Arnie and Plank on a
Fox Sports Sunday. I guess this is a real thing.
I'll explain in moments. It's Arnie and Plank on a

(13:57):
Fox Sports Sunday. Plus I gotta make Jets fans happy,
and we're coming to your life. And the guy called
Fox Sports Radio Studios fifteen minutes could save you or
more at car Insurance, there's a guy could have a
free read quote. Okay, so again, I I don't know
why or how Joseph, who seems like a very sharp dude.

(14:18):
Joseph Underscore rhads right. So Saban retires from BAMA. A
few years later, they hire Pete Carroll and someone paints
a mural calling him, King, you don't think some Bama
fans might deface it. You don't get it, uh, Joseph,
I don't think you understand. No, it's not no, it's

(14:40):
not Arnie, Arnie. It's an awful point. Here is why
if Nick Saban has two badg two bad years, they're
ready to fire him. Okay, and I appreciate you trying
to understand SEC football, Joe, but you have no clue
because if Nick Saban were to have a run like
Kobe Bran did down the stretch of his career, you

(15:02):
would probably have Bama fans actually putting up the statue
of the coach who's going to replace him? Is he
going to miss the playoffs for six years and finished
dead last in the SEC? Then yeah, I don't have
a problem with anyone putting up a mural. This isn't
a I thought as by the way I'm coming, I
thought this was a great point. Go ahead on you.
But well, coming from a guy who lives in the

(15:23):
city where they had to shut down the Kevin Durant restaurant, right,
is that which is still the dumbest thing in the
history man, I mean you talk about I mean they're
still everything that demark got me. But what do you
mean by that? I just it's reality. It's just you
have to understand that they don't care. Are you saying
you agree with that? So you know, I see that

(15:44):
point a little bit dull. I I see exactly what
he's saying. He made me think of that. You know,
the natty natural tweets him. Is there anything better than
listening to to middle aged white guys from the burbs. Well,
first of all, I take exception to middle aged white
and purb but that's beside the point about a lebron
mural and graffiti. Something tells me neither one of you

(16:04):
would go in that neighborhood to see the mural. And
you open your show with this, Well, first of all,
it's not even a bad neighborhood. It's it's Vetta's beach.
What what's he talking about? I don't even know why.
Why do you think that's a bad neighborhood all of
a sudden, that's ridiculous. I no, no, I gotta go
back to this. You see this morons point on the
have you watched CC football? I'm sorry, Arnie, but you

(16:28):
can't see that. You know what I'm moving on? I
like this point that was actually made by I believe
was what Dr D on Twitter, who had laid out
what I think most people need to either embrace or
truly understand, because I don't think Lebron James is coming
here to try to be the bad guy. He's not
coming here to try to be evil, which I don't get.

(16:49):
David writes, Lebron hasn't come to l A to take
our legacy from us. He's here to add to it.
Maybe the king of l A today, but he wasn't
the king yesterday and he won't be the king tomorrow.
People need to appreciate enjoy and chill. That should say,
people need to appreciate enjoy and chill. I guess I
just I don't understand any animal. If it was up

(17:12):
to you, um, right next to the Shock and Kobe
and kareem Uh statues, you'd have a Lebron statue right well,
you are really going from zero. Hold on, let me
let me jump in here. So as a Kobe fan,
it just the fact that Lebron James comes in and

(17:33):
I can see where they're coming from. That you have
Debron James coming in who's kind of been like an
arch enemy of the Lakers because for a lot of
Kobe fans and Laker fans, Kobe, Kobe Bryant has been
looked over as far as being considered one of the goats.
When you talk the category of goat, there's two people
that are brought up. It's Kobe, I mean, is Michael
Jordan's and Lebron James. Kobe Bryant is nowhere in that

(17:55):
category at all at all. And you know that Chris
like nobody considers be one of the goats. Yet Kobe
has five rings, got an m v P, got Finals MVP,
and was robbed from m VP a couple of times.
Let's not bring up the fact that Steve Nash beat
him one year when his numbers were horrible. Anyway, now,
as coming from your point of view, I understand as

(18:16):
a Lakers fan, you know we got Lebron James. We
now have a chance to be as a franchise, to
be considered great again. We now have a chance to
make the playoffs, which we haven't made in what like
five years, and we have a chance to actually have
a above five season. So as a fan, it's exciting.
But as a Kobe fans like Yo but you guys

(18:36):
are not paying attention to the fact that Kobe is
this is still Kobe's home, like this is still Kobe
And now the fact that Lebron's coming. People want to
just completely bypass the fact that Kobe Bryant ever played
for the Lakers. Well, I guess you guys forget that
Kobe wasn't even drafted, as it doesn't matter. He never
but he never put on a Charlotte uniform. I don't again,

(19:00):
I just guess for me personally, anytime you go out
and get a player that's really good and comes in
and it's going to make your team better, complaining about
that makes no sense to me. Outside of maybe the
city that lost him, It just does. Have you ever
heard in any sport where a guy was coming in
to make the team better that was really, really good
and got such not I'm not gonna say overall, but

(19:20):
got some negative feedback like oh no, no, no, I
mean unless he got a bad attitude or was a
cancer in the locker room or clubhouse, which Lebron isn't.
I've never really understood. I I can't think of another
guy that's joined the team where people like no, no, no,
we can't have m no way, you know, I just
I can't. I can't fathom. I can't fathom this is

(19:40):
going on right now. You know you're a Laker fan,
so your Laker buddies out there doing all this. This
just doesn't make any sense. I mean, of all the
things that I thought would be conversation pieces tonight, I thought,
and we're gonna get to it, Kawhi Leonard, I thought,
what's going on there in that mess? Everybody don't don't
say that allegedly. Chris Broussard says, that's bush. I wanted

(20:04):
to believe it. Come on, the Dallas Cowboys still being
in play for Earl Thomas, the possibility of of of
maybe us getting a little bit carried away with lists.
But this is this is really um this is really
happening here tonight. And by the way, Bill hits hits
us up and absolutely makes the best point in the world.
He says, why not make Raider fans happy instead of

(20:26):
Laker fans? Chris, I think you're right. I don't think
I can win this. I still can't fathom that that
anyone would try to make a comparison to a Nick
Saban mural Off a painting on the side of a
wall of a barbecue restaurant in Venice. I just mind
blown by what are allegedly smart people. We tried to

(20:47):
explain it in your language, Chris sec college football, that's
what you understand. Well, obviously we are speaking some incredibly
different languages. All right. Hey, with that said, I promised
some jets talk here. Let's get it in. Tons of
stuff on on Twitter. Keep it coming. We'll get to
it at planking shot, at stinking Genius one. But Arnie,
I loved what Josh McCown had to say because I

(21:08):
honestly think everyone's getting set up for the huge letdown
with a guy like Sam Donald. And I love Donald
to death, but listen, my, my, my most listen to
show on Fox Sports Radio outside of hours, because I'm
sitting in here for two hours he is is probably
the Jason Smith Show with Michael Harmon, and I just
I don't know, I don't know if if I could

(21:31):
really handle what's going to happen if Sam Donald fails
to Jason Smith. I I worry about his well being.
I worry about his health. I laugh at people that
have the team's real bad so I enjoy stuff like that,
because all your teams are great, so you're able to
sit on your mighty perch and just kind of laugh
at them. Josh McCown said this, and again, Josh McCown

(21:53):
is kind of their stable guy right now. He's the
guy that's been in the league for a little bit
and is going to allegedly start a season. Why Donald
gets better and and improves or I guess grasps the
NFL system. Here's what McCown said, quote with Sam, we
have the right guy. He's wired the right way. He
loves the game, he asks the right questions, and he's

(22:15):
willing to work. That's the foundation you have to have. That.
So in in an era where most of the news
from some of the rookie quarterbacks hasn't necessarily been great,
Baker's had a couple of bad practices, so we lose
our minds about that. Uh Rosen was slow to learn
a few things. I guess they're all gushing about Josh Allen,
but Arnie baby steps maybe the sleeping on Donald being

(22:37):
a guy that starts the season for the Jets potentially, Well,
is it gonna be baby steps for all of them?
I mean, how many quarterbacks look look at Troy Aikman.
What did he come and do it his first year?
I mean it was it was horrible. What were they
like one in fifteen or something like that. It was.
It was discussed. Even Dan Marino didn't get off to
such a great start. They had the use of like
midway through the season. So yeah, no matter who the

(22:57):
quarterback is, even if they've gone into be one of
the best and and you know, a Hall of Famer,
it's always tough at the beginning. And what makes you
think that it wasn't gonna be tough for these guys
at the beginning? I just I think sometimes we set
these unrealistic expectations, especially for guys taking pretty high in
the draft, right, you expect him to come in right
away and just everything's gonna click and and again, I

(23:20):
already hear the victory parade being planned. Weeknights are on
Fox Sports Radio with Jason and Michael. I just now
feel a little bit better about the long term health
of our evening host here on Fox Sports for the Jets. Yeah,
and as soon as you planned him, the Marcus Cousins
signed with the Warriors on well, yeah, you don't really
need him Anyway, when we come back to the guy,

(23:40):
go Fox Sports Radio Studios. You're all fired up. Let's
get to Twitter. But first he's got an update on
everything going on in the world of sports. He is
Steve to say, what's going on? Steve Good evening, And
already I looked at up. Troy Aikman was winless his
first year. I said, what were then sixteen? And they
would have been bad the year. Afoord to get him
number one, but they were still bad his rookie year,

(24:03):
and Peyton Manning his first year he was also awful.
They both Aikman and Manning started out with a ton
of interception many He had like two playoff wins and
it was like first seven years or something like that. Well,
but the whole regular season his rookie year when he
played every game as the number one, pick three, and thirteen,
and then the next two hundred games with the Cults
he won one for out of the two. You know,

(24:26):
give it a little time. We have plenty of NBA
news to pass along for this Sunday night. The Bulls
matched an offer sheet to keep Zach Levine. Sacramento would
offered four years nearly eighty million dollars. He only played
twenty four games last year, coming back from a torn
a cl Center Brook Lopez reached a one year agreement
with Milwaukee for three and a half mill He'd averaged
thirteen points a game is only season as a Laker.

(24:48):
Center Zaza Petulia agreed to a one year deal with
the Pistons. He didn't start a game in the postseason
this year for Golden State, guard Chris Paul officially resigned
with Houston and wo g ESPN reporting that the Spurs
decline to match Kyle Anderson's offer sheet. He'll go to
Memphis four years, thirty seven million dollars. The Sunday Night
ball game was in Anaheim. The Angels were down three

(25:08):
nothing early on a Yasiel Puig homer, Angels win for
three over the Dodgers show Hey Otani a pinch homer
for the lead in the seventh. We left with an
injury tonight, strained oblique at the plate and likely will
go on the disabled list. The Dodgers are still one
game back of Arizona for first place in the NL West.
Diamondbacks lost at home in sixteen innings to San Diego

(25:29):
four to three. San Francisco, a thirteen to eight winner
over St. Louis Pablo Sandoval, a homer and five r
bis and as Seattle, five r b I s for
Ryan Healy and a six four Mariner win against Colorado.
Edwin Diaz, the closer for the MS this year, his
thirty fifth save, and he was added to the All
Star team as the Rosters came out tonight. Finally, in golf,

(25:50):
first player in LPGA Tour history to go lower than
thirty under par for a tournament's say. Young Kim dominated
in Wisconsin. In fact, she finished at thirty one under
thirty one birdies for the weekend and at the p
g A event. Kevin Nah the winner at the Greenbrier
by five strokes. Bubba Watson fell to a tie for thirteen.
Phil Nicholson shot seventy four today, including a two stroke

(26:11):
penalty actually assessed himself this time. He tied for sixty
fifth place and the World Cup is off until Tuesday semifinal.
There's a Wednesday semifinal with England as well. Back to you,
thanks Steve to say here as we come to you
live from the Geico Fox Sports Radio studios. What does
it mean when Geico says just fifteen minutes could save
you fifteen cent or more on car insurance and means

(26:31):
you probably should have gone to Geico dot com fifteen
minutes ago. You know, I may get fired for this, Chris,
but I'm gonna say it anyway. Um, I just heard
the secret saying what the golf the women's golf one
minus thirty birdies? I mean, incredible scores. Could you imagine
if that was the men's that we get no buzz whatsoever.
But when the course is bad, that's all we talk about.

(26:54):
It goes to show you we want courses that are bad,
not courses that are great. Didn't even know that somebody
could shoot them. I just thirty one. Couldn't even care less.
You're like that. I like the way I tied that
in there. Huh. I didn't even know there was golf
going on this weekend, To be honest with you, I
just I just knew that Phil Micholson and Tiger Woods
we're gonna play for ten million dollars, and then Phil

(27:15):
tried to cheat again today. That's all I knew from golf.
I did learn something, though, from what you and Saega
just talked about. Like I got a hit on golf,
aren'ty But yeah, that's what I know, because well, you know,
let's get back to fighting about this. Hey, can I
do you post this just real quick before we move on,
because we have football to get to tonight. We got

(27:35):
a lot of other things. If I were a baseball fan,
I would be so mad at us right now, because boy,
nothing fires up people like All Star Outrage, which, by
the way, we won't get to on the show tonight,
so if you're tuning in for that, I want to
wait till Big Ben comes. I love All Star Outrage,
but I just here's here's what's funny to me. A
conversation about trying to understand disappointment from a fan base

(27:59):
with a guy coming in, uh do it is right?
I am just an absolute disbelief that this is a
take from a fan base, specifically the Lakers. And then
you want to get into some sort of semantics conversation
about well, if they crowd mcking and nobody's crowning anyone
a king, it's a stupid mural outside of a barbecue restaurant,

(28:19):
but it's it's a nice mural. But as far as
debate topics, it's stupid. But Here's what I don't get, Arnie.
How does this then develop into a fight about where
Kobe is in the pants? And I'm not point fingers
anyone here but a Kobe versus Lebron or then at
some point I'm sure someone's gonna bring up Michael Jordan's

(28:40):
how does this conversation about not being excited about the
NBA season? Are grateful to have the opportunity to watch
one of the goats play on your team? How does
that then turn into a debate or a conversation about
who's actually better than the other guy? I mean, well,
because Kobe has always held the title of the best laker,
you know what I mean. So I think that's what

(29:01):
people are getting all defensive about. Please don't get started
on that. Better than Magic, better than Kareem, better than
check Um, Yes, yes, yes, okay, So that's why that's
why people are getting a little defensive on that, Chris Well.
And by the way, I have to laugh at this
because it might be the tweet of the night, which
we'll get us to some college football chat. Uh, Tommy

(29:22):
Morrison checking in on Twitter tonight. Gotta love that. If
you look at the current talent, I think it's more
likely Lebron and the Lakers losing the first round of
the NBA playoffs and then win the title. And then
he adds, I'd like to cut through the noise tonight
and go ahead and congratulate the Golden State Warriors on
their fourth title in five years. You know, I was
digging a little bit. The Warriors won their first title

(29:45):
in that season, and they had I think they had
been knocked out of the first round of the playoffs
the year before. I think they were beaten like either
by the Clippers of the Rockets in the first year.
And I just went back because I know it's a
little bit of a different world because they've been in
the finals four straight years. They've won three to last four.
But you know, heading into that fourteen fifteen season where

(30:05):
they were projected by bleacher Report to finish, they were
projected as the next to last team in the playoffs
in the Western Conference. They were projected as the seventh
best team in the West, and they went on to
win and basically started dynasty. So I mean, again, I'm
not trying to tell you that the team that's projected
to be the seventh best team in the West of
this year is going to go in a title. But again,

(30:28):
there might be that team out there. Right now, we
automatically just assume in the Lakers, Lakers of the third
best team according to Vegas, right right, You're right. I
fall into this trap a lot to where I say, listen,
nothing bad has happened to the Warriors this offseason. But man,
I keep going back to the conversations after the finals
and how it appeared as if there were some some

(30:49):
bumps during the season. Arnie, there were a few emotional
ruts that they went through, telling me they're gonna keep
those smooth. Whenever you add Boogie Customs to the mix
and you change a little bit of that, I the
dynamic of your locker room. I know they're not rushing
him back or anything because it's gonna be putting up
negative points. I mean, I don't understand that without Boogy
they're gonna be a great team. Now, uh, they added him,

(31:11):
all of a sudden, they're gonna lose like, what, five
extra games. I don't understand the ration. No, no, no, listen,
they already lost five extra games from the year before.
But I'm just laying out from the gosh I've used
narrative A thousand times, the buzz that had come out,
what David West said, what a couple of other guys said.
Even their owner came out and talked about how challenging

(31:32):
of a year it was, and now things will never
know when things they'll never talk about. I mean, I
get it that a lot of those fingers were pointed,
maybe something that Drant was struggling with. I don't know, Arnie,
but I mean, you smooth that out and you get
another mal content in that locker room that come on,
what's been the recitation of the This is why Steve

(31:53):
Kurt doesn't call into the show, because you go ahead
and sabotage it. If I've Kurd, I'm listening to this.
I like the way I'm gonna call it, even if
he is my best friend from high school. No way
I'm calling in now. I think your proclamation that you
beat him in one on one might be the bigger
concern for him calling in. But but seriously, that that's

(32:16):
really our only hope. I think, more than anything else,
is that whatever issues that seemed to kind of persevere
through that locker room early on, that they they grow
with a guy like cousin now, I'm not rooting against
Golden State. I did greatness. I want to see them
at their best. But I'm not that kind of rubber
stamps it that is on the sun in the face.

(32:37):
To Steve Kerr, who has done a great job. I mean,
think about the egos he's had the coach right now
with Draymond Green, Kevin Rand, I mean even Steph Curry,
who could have a bad attitude if you wanted to,
doesn't um and even Quay So I think Curs done
a phenomenal job with the team. You really kind of
change with the wind when it comes to I gotta
tell you the truth there, Mr Well, I always go

(33:00):
go Oklahoma, Oklahoma, but you sure can't say go Arizona, Arizona.
Oh my gosh. You try to just paint yourself as
some sort of objective maker. I'm sorry, I I apologize. Hey,
by the way, before we got a break, let me
add one more thing to this, Arnie, just and again,
I'm not trying to. I don't want to make anyone

(33:22):
at the game mad. Love you guys, but start thinking
about two not just what a personality like DeMarcus Cousins
might do. But you're also looking at free agency looming
for someone like Clay Thompson. You're also looking at Draymond
Green's kind. I think, what would he be a restricted
free agent? And again I don't believe the salary cap

(33:45):
really exists, so we can keep giving them every player
because it doesn't exist. So there's a lot of things
that as you start looking at next season for the NBA,
and everyone just hands the Warriors the trophy. Sure, they're
the defending champs. Yes, it's hard to slow dow Kevin Durant,
but it might not being on the court thing that
slows this team down. I will say this to Kevin Durant,

(34:06):
will not retire a Golden State Warrior that I promise
you that that I'll bet every time I have in
the world, I would give him another two probably two years,
and then maybe three, and then he'll be gone. Well,
when we come back to the Geico Fox Sports Radio studios,
so let's pass through all the Kawai information. Then we'll
spend our final hour going all in on college football.

(34:27):
And I put together a list. I made a list
for the show. We'll dive into it head first tonight
with Arnie and Plank on a Fox Sports Sunday. There's
a better way to buy home insurance with Progressives new
home Quote Explorer tool. Get a custom quote and a
great rate all online. See for yourself how much you
could say at Progressive dot Com. It's Arnie and Plank

(34:50):
on a Fox Sports Sunday. We welcome in the Man,
the Myth, the Legend, Steve to Sager. Get caught up
on everything that's going on. We've got to spend some
time though tonight. Guys on this Kauai stuff, aren't you
are you? Are you buying quickly that he actually hid
from the Spurs or I want to believe it? I
do want Yeah, I do kind of believe it. I
want to believe it. I think it's I think it's

(35:11):
just goes into the whole month or the whole story.
I could totally see that happen. We're not hiding, but
you know, not hiding in his house, but hiding out
in the gym. They come to want to watch them workout,
and they go ahead and run them from one gym
into another. Nobody knows where to find them. It's like
a bad comedy. I'd love to see something like that.
It would be good to say what you got tonight. Well,

(35:32):
let's start with hoops. Since the Rockets beat Golden State tonight.
People a little late it was summer lakes. Wow. Meanwhile,
your next Kevin Knox had another nineteen points. They did
lose to the Jazz and Atlanta Hawk's first round rookie
Trey Young. They acquired on draft Knight from Oklahoma nine
scoreless minutes and left with a bruise quad in the

(35:54):
lost two Portlands Lakers Knicks NBA championship next season. Can't wait. Yeah,
I already asked for the time off so I can
go to the games. We've asked for time off on
your behalf many times. I've not got. Lakers first rounder
Moe Wagner one for nine shooting in the first half.
He's now two for eleven from the floor. It's the

(36:14):
third quarter. It's mid third quarter. In the scores only
thirty nine thirty five. Lakers over the Bulls in a
late game tonight. Uh for Sacramento, Justin Jackson from the
North Heroline guitar Heels had twenty eight points. They lost
to the Clippers. A reminder, the World Cup continues on
Fox TV. They've got the rest of the tournaments Tuesday
semifinal Belgium against France, the only two top ten ranked

(36:37):
teams still in the tournament, two pm Eastern time Tuesday
on Fox TV, and then two pm Eastern Wednesday, England
against Croatia. Next week. The third place game Saturday is
early morning and the Sunday final is early morning eleven
am Eastern for the final. Remember they used to do
that in the Double A tournament, of a third place game,
we would want to play in that they did used

(36:58):
to have a third place game. People don't know that
when you got the trip to the final four, it
guaranteed you. I mean even through the late seventies. I
remember once there was of course the network wouldn't televise
the third place game, but once the third place game
went along, they were wondering if it was still gonna
be going. When the network went on the air for
the game, everybody was actually going to tune in for
that night anyway. The starters for the Baseball All Star

(37:21):
Game are out. How about this American League outfielder Mookie
Bets of Boston batting about three forty, Mike Trout of
the Angels, seven full season, seven All Star appearances, and
Aaron judge of the Yankees, also from Boston, starting at
d H J. D. Martinez the American League infield first
base from the White Sox Jose A. Bray You. The
most votes went to Jose al To a second basement

(37:44):
of Houston shortstop from the Orioles. At least Manny Machado
is still playing for the Orioles for now. He's starting
at shortstop third base Cleveland's Jose Ramirez. And we had
a game at Arizona today that went sixteen innings. San
Diego won four three the go ahead home run for
Will Myers, who hit three home runs last night, and
they still lost twenty to five. That's anyway. Today he's

(38:07):
coming to beat in the sixteenth thinning with two outs
because the picture got the first two outs. The picture
in the fifth sixteenth thinning for Arizona was the guy
who started at catcher. They ran out of pictures, so
their tenth picture of the day, they just had the
catcher become the picture. He gets a couple outs and
then he gets what looks like ball four on Will Myers.
They say no, no, no, it's ball three. Come back here,

(38:29):
and then he hits a home run on the Padres
win four to three over five hundred pitches thrown in
that game today it was five and a half hours,
sixteen innings, the equivalent of almost two full games. The
Padres closer Brad Hand, who was named to the All
Star Team while the game was still going on. He
got the win. He threw two innings. Other National League
relievers name to the All Star team Kendley Jansen and

(38:52):
the Dodgers Washington Shawn Doolittle in the games in d C.
The games on Fox TV a week from Tuesday. By
the way, Bryce Harper of Washington will start a lot
of Homer's but batting under two twenty year next year.
Good luck on that. Yeah, good luck on that. This
is not a good When they say contract year, usually

(39:13):
people perform better. Like maybe not. Uh. National League starting
pitchers to choose from Jacob Degram, John Lester, Max Scherzer.
With the game in Washington, I assume we'll get the nod.
The only one Philly that's in the game Aaron Nola
having a great year as a starting pitcher. Philly lost
today four one at Pittsburgh, but Atlanta lost ten three
at Milwaukee. So the Phillies and Braves still tied for

(39:34):
first in the NL East who had that. Meanwhile, Milwaukee
with the win, but the Cubs one on a tenth
inning bases loaded walk six five over the Reds. Brewers
are first in the ed L Central game and a
half ahead of the Chicago Cubs, and like clockwork, Milwaukee
place Ryan Brown back on the disabled list with a
strain back. Uh. We have the Yankees rookie, maybe Rookie

(39:56):
of the Year this year, glaybar tore is being named
as an All Star reserve although he is injured. Keep
in mind that are they're always replacements coming up. So
I want him traded to the Mets when we give
up one of our pictures. That'll happen. Yeah, well wait
wait wait, wait, wait, we give it about a premium
value for value, I get it. They're not going to
trade the rookie of the year and the Rays pitcher
Blake Snell, leading the league in the r A, not

(40:17):
named to an All Star team yet again, there will
be injuries and replacements, no doubt over the next week.
Nineteen eighty one was the last time the men's basketball
tournament held a consolation third place game, when Virginia beat
L s U seventy eight to seventy four things you
learn late night on Fox Sports Radio. All right, we've

(40:38):
got some college football talk. Next, he's anti Spanier. I'm
Chris Plank. It's aren't In Plank on a Fox Sports
Sunday our number two yep from the Guy. Go Fox
Sports Radio Studios. Fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent
or more on car insurance. Visit guy dot com for
a free rate quote. Now, Chris, I'm sorry to jump
in here. I just if you cannot be so selfish

(40:59):
just for one second, get and not talking about yourself,
so I can congratulate Brady Quinn and his lovely wife
on their new addition to their family, Teagan Quinn. Uh
is the new addition, baby Teagan uh? So, congratulations. I
heard if it was a boy, it was going to
be Arnold Quinn. So I was sorry about that. No,

(41:21):
Arnold would have been a good name, So Arnold Quinn.
I'm surprised they didn't use like a football name like
oh start, like like like a fighting Irish Quinn or
South Bend Quinn or you know something like that. You
know what I'm saying. I don't think it's a great name.
We got I named my kids Shafe for Sha Stadium,
and if it was a girl would have been Madison

(41:41):
from Madison Square Garden. Do you realize you realize what
would happen to me if I tried to name any
of my three children after a sporting him in Sooner
Plank or something. Well, I mean, let's see, my four
year old was yeah, yeah, so my four year old
would have easily had been Boomer. I mean absolutely yeah.

(42:04):
But unfortunately not even a middle name. Your wife wouldn't
even give you the middle room. No, are you serious? Useless?
I mean, mind's Elliott? What am I gonna do with that?
For crying out lot, I'd rather have a cool middle name. Yeah,
and I'm not floating around going by George. Welcome to
the George and Elliott Show from now on. Your name
is Elliott. How about this going through high school? Arnold Elliott? Yeah,

(42:28):
oh good luck. And me trying to get a girlfriend,
Oh my gosh, I didn't even think of that, and
my mine was George Christopher, so that was there was
no nickname. We don't have a fake name here. Do
people still do that in radio? There's no fake names
around here. So yeah, George Christopher didn't work, but I
think I had a sports day like Storm Spaniard or something.

(42:51):
Come on, Arnie, it's time to it's time to change
your whole. I'll take request on Twitter. What should I
change my name to? Um that Arizona Wildcat, Arizona span
your year, you could go back. You know people have
names remember like Cincinnati and stuff like that Indiana that
you know when you play poker. You know what I

(43:13):
will say? Uh, we need to put the mount rushmore
of potential names for Arnie on a Twitter poll, and
then we would reach peak run out of things to
talk about season in Fox in Sports Radio. That would
that would be the peak moment right there? Did I
mention that we come to you alive from the guy
called Fox Sports Radio Studios where fifteen minutes could save
you are more on car insurance. All you have to

(43:35):
do is visit guy code dot com for a free
rate quoting. Yes, congratulations to Brady and his wife a healthy,
beautiful baby girl, So kudos to him, and uh, goodbye
sleep for a couple of weeks for Brady. Quinn still
think Arnold is a middle name. Could Arnold? You can
work that one out with with Brady. So as as

(43:56):
we speak, as we push past midnight on the Eastern
and Central time zones, we are now forty seven days
away from the start of the college football season. People
know this, but the college football season actually has a
handful of games in the last Saturday in August. Now

(44:16):
we are fifty four games, fifty four days away from
what everyone's talking about, which is, oh you and Florida Atlantic.
We are fifty nine. We pushed past sixty into the
fifties for the NFL season. But are you ready? Oh no, no,
you gotta give me preseason games. You can't do that.
I'm getting We are twenty three days away from the

(44:39):
exhibition opener. Days off. Um hey, By the way, Baseball
for the All Star break, which is the All Star Game,
is a week from next Tuesday. Baseball is essentially off Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.
There's one game on Thursday, so you basically have four
days off in baseball. But with that said, next week,

(45:01):
next week, the Baltimore Ravens report to camp. The first
team to report is on July eleventh. So listen, we're
getting there, slowly, but surely, slowly but surely, we're getting there.
So obviously you you would and I both love the
win total conversations. I think we had a few of
them as they've been trickling out here and there. We

(45:24):
love all the debates about the best conferences in college football,
and we'll get to the win totals here in just
a bit. That's always fun for Arnie's picks. But I
gotta tell you something, Um, I got a little bit
of a problem with Athlon Sports here and I explain why,
and I think you should too, because they have basically
gone with the easy number one pick when they're breaking

(45:45):
down their power rankings for conferences. I don't think there's
too much argument around the SEC being the best conference
in college football? Is there? I mean, i'd like to
think that someone is there to knock them down, and
i'd like to think that there is someone waiting. And yes,
I know that die hard Clemson fans would say, well,
two years ago we beat Alabama. That's great, But you

(46:06):
know what, I just I don't think there's anyone that
has anything right now for the SEC, not just with
what Alabama is doing, but Arnie, what Kirby Smart has
started to do with Georgia, They're not going anywhere Auburn
seems to have a quarterback now. I think the tide
is turning a bit for Florida and Tennessee, Texas A
and M. It will be interesting to see how jimb
I mean, that's a huge investment of Texas A and

(46:27):
M has put in Jimbo Fisher and l s who
appears Stop me if you've heard this before to have
a quarterback. So it's it's almost as if the rich
is getting richer. So if we're talking conference rankings, it's
hard not to have the SEC number one is no.
But you know what I think is that's where kids
want to play for some reason. It's all about playing
in the South. And if that's true, I'm surprised that

(46:49):
the Big twelve hasn't gotten better players because they've got
those type of teams that kids want to go to.
I understand why you don't want to play in the
Pack twelve. Maybe the Big ten's got a stigma about
it that the kids don't want to go too. And
I thought that the A, C, C or whatever they
call themselves now UH should have done a better job.
Also are recruiting, so that conference in the Big twelve

(47:09):
should have done a better job getting there, getting there
in the Big twelve with what Herman and Riley are
doing in Texas and Oklahoma respectively. Alright, just real quick,
we'll run through these, because there's really only five worth
talking about. Unfortunately, no offensive American Athletic conference, but just
saying they have the Big Ten number two, and I
think the Big Ten is gonna get a little bit
of disrespect this year because it's very deep. They got

(47:31):
a lot of good teams. But would you put the
Big Ten is the second best conference this year? Arnie
are do you think maybe the A C C or
the Pack twelve or the Big twelve could slide in
there behind the SEC r You know, I like my
Pack twelve, but I mean it was ranks so low,
which I don't understand why it gets such a bad rap.
I mean, for some reason, uh, you know, because they're
so balanced that they don't have a team, an upper

(47:54):
echelon team like when Alabama dominates the rest of the
SEC or something like that. So I feel like they
get bad Knock on that, Chris, It's a matter of
whether or not that's a great debate. I mean, if
an incredible debate to have, are you truly in a
league that's so good and so balanced that good teams
are just beating each other up, which I think could

(48:15):
happen to Big Ten this year. Or is it just
a munch of really bad teams? And it's funny because
if you try to say, well, let's look at the
bull season, well, what does everyone tell you at the
Bull season is just an exhibition? Takes a series, right
And then if you say, well, okay, let's look at nonconference,
well you can't take a nonconference season, all right, So
how do you truly cage and judge? And we have

(48:37):
cupcakes like Alabama does every year. I mean, well, they
do play tough game early, but the SEC, that's cupcake
city with the out of conference schedule. So number one overall,
as we mentioned, is the SEC. Their projection projection is
Alabama to win the conference. The Big Tin is second
with Ohio State, and then the a C C Against
slides into third. Listen, I'm not gonna sit here in
homer out too much for the Big Twelve. I think

(48:59):
they're the best conference in college football. But I'm a
Homer what do I know? But to have the A
C C their third is a little bit confusing. Now,
don't get me wrong, Dabo and Brent Venables have an
incredible group defensively coming back, Arnie, And I think Miami
and what Justin Finte is doing at Virginia Tech. I
think they're going to be better. But their third Big

(49:19):
twelve is fourth, and then the Pack twelve is there
at number four. But again that's why I shouldn't have
even sent it to you. But you know what, I
think you only sent it to me to make me
feel good because you knew where I was going. Next,
as we come to Alive in the Geico Fox Sports
Radio studios, the over under on win losses as we
celebrate creeping under forty seven days until kickoff of the

(49:40):
college football season. And I have a big problem here
with your Arizona Wildcats because according to the LV the
Las Vegas super Book, your Wildcats are at seven and
a half over under. And you know, Kevin Sumlin's m
O is hot out of the gate. Yeah, I mean

(50:00):
he is a guy that first couple of years great recruits,
does a good job of inspiring those that are already there.
Was great at Houston, was great early on at Texas
A And m Arnie am I crazy if I want
to take over seven and a half for your Arizona Wildcats. No,
remember what was it a couple of years ago? It
was more than that now, three or four years ago

(50:21):
when they made that run and I'm like, watch up
from my Wildcats and almost you know when the whole thing,
Oh my goodness, man, I was on board that of
the year. I how long ago was that? But no,
this could be another great year. If you look at
their quarterback situation. When you have a quarterback uh like
like they look, it's unbelievable. Khalil Tate and I think
he's gonna be a legit Heisman Trophy candidate. It was

(50:42):
a legit Heisman Trophy candidate last year. Put a mindset
of what Johnny Manziel was able to do at Texas
A and M and apply that to Khalil Tate. Put
a mindset of what Kate's much better than Johnny Manzel
ever was well, well, Manzel did win a Heisman trow
of fee, so we got a little time to get there.
But I'll say this much, Kevin Sumlan did a pretty

(51:05):
incredible job of implementing an offense at work for Johnny Manzel.
A couple of others. I want to get your take on.
Then I'll move past college football and get back to
NBA fighting here. I want to make sure we get
a little football in. What about Florida State? Florida State
seven and a half this year for the over under
Willie Taggard comes over from Oregon State. I'm not so sure. Yeah,
new coach. That's a tough conference and they have a

(51:26):
tough feradic conference schedule. I believe that most teams, I'm
not so sure. I'd like to go over on that.
I have a hard time with the teams that are
around ten. Oklahoma is their Ohio State is at ten
and a half. They have UH, Georgia is at ten. Alabama.
I think was that it doesn't make it everything that
the quarterback broke his hand on the not throwing her

(51:46):
hand or no, not at all. I don't. I don't
think so. But again, I mean that's you don't know.
Colleges aren't required to give you injury information, and I
don't know if that's gonna change over time, whenever we
get into UH gambling and house become more widespread. I
don't know if that changes. They hate to use the
term hide behind, but with the hippo laws, they don't

(52:06):
necessarily have to give you, so I mean they're making
it sound like it's very minimal, and it was to
his left hand, and I guess it was whenever a
ski rope snack back and hit him ride on the hand.
So I don't know how serious that injury is to
Jake from But you're looking at ten and a half
for Georgia, eleven and a half for Alabama, and how
about a big eleven eleven for Clemson. I mean, damn,

(52:28):
these teams only played twelve regular season games, with the
thirteenth game for a conference championship and maybe maybe the
possibility of fifteen total games. So you're looking at eleven
and a half. You're basically projecting them to go undefeated
in the regular season pretty much. By the way, I
hate to put you on the spot, but I gotta
feel in you probably know the answer anyway. What's the

(52:48):
first big matchup that we're looking for, like that first
big weekends or something like, oh, this is because usually
it comes on like that Monday for a holiday or
something like that. You know what I'm saying, what's the
first big matchup that we're looking forward to? In college
football six o'clock Saturday, August would Prairie View and Rice. Uh.

(53:12):
You know last year and the year before that, we
really had home run matchups in the first week Washington,
I knows in that September one weekend, I know that
we have a handful of them this year. I mean again,
games like Oregon State Ohio State that is packed twelve
versus big Michigan Dame probably the key game of that

(53:32):
first weekend. Yeah, I take that for what it's worth.
I kind of dig in Tennessee West Tennessee West Virginia
game I think is pretty big. I love Washington Auburn,
which is at the Mercedes been Stadium in Atlanta. Do
you love Michigan last year as well? Has has anyone
done less and get more credit than Jim Harmon? But

(53:54):
I still like them. I think they'll I think they'll
get Notre Dame. I don't know why I keep liking Michigan.
I learned my lesson by the way. The two big games.
The Sunday game is Miami l s U and then
that Monday game is Virginia Tech in Florida State. So
it's a conference games, so it's a garbage game on Monday.
But I don't think you have your home runs like
Alabama USC a couple of years ago. You had a couple.

(54:14):
I mean, listen, Auburn Washington, whoever wins that game is
gonna shoot up the polls depending on where both of
those teams are ranked in the preseason. So it's not bad,
not great. I mean where you still got like grand blame.
You left out the biggest game my Arizona Wildcats against me.
Why the reason why Brady hasn't talked Brady Pep hasn't
talked to me in three years now? Yeah, I think

(54:35):
it's also because you called him soft and you kind
of called him out and called him a garbage team.
But that doesn't mean you have to take offense to it,
you know, right right? No, no, no strategy imagination. So
there's my attempt to throw some college football out there.
As we count down now officially seven days to the
start of the college football season and just fifty four

(54:57):
away from the first full weekend, it's football. Listen, we've
talked a lot of lebron tonight, let's get the other
side of the Kauai saga. What's really going on. We'll
get details next, he's Arnie Spanier. I'm Chris Plank from
the Getico Fox Sports radio studios. It's Arnie and Plank
on a Fox Sports Sunday. It's Arnie and Plank on
a Fox Sports Sunday. Don't forget. We are counting down

(55:17):
to what everyone came here for tonight. Arnie's picks. What
do you Picknick say? I mean, it's it's easy when
it's football season. We got plenty of games you can.
I mean, heck, it's kind of easy even doing baseball season.
I pick. I picked Wimbledon if that was going on.

(55:38):
Oh yeah, I mean I got a hate on the
tick right on. I'm gonna pick Jimmy Connors. Watch out
for him, you know. Jonas brought this story up earlier,
but real quick. No updates on the Brandon Browner saga,
which is played out tonight. NBC l A has reported
that Browner was arrested on charges of kidnapping, a burglary, fall, imprisonment,

(56:01):
and violation of a restraining order. So we'll continue to
keep you up to date if any news breaks on this.
It's at least for brown or his fourth arrest in
the last year, which is never good. For anyone trying
to you know, just since we're doing some football and
we're gonna finish up on that, I just want to
ask you one question. When a guy signs a contract, right,

(56:21):
I guess the most important thing, at least to the
players probably money after money, and they get the contract
they get. Should the next important thing be all about winning? Chris?
Isn't that the next important thing for an athlete or no?
You would think everyone has their own different priorities, but
it would be important to me. I want to win? Well,
what what? What? What's your number one priority? Then? For

(56:42):
as a fan winning, then I take it right? Of
course I love to win. So if Derek Carr was
going to get a six game suspension and you knew
he can cut that in half and have a three
game suspension if you rat it out a teammate or
another guy and another team or another coach, shouldn't they
do that because they get back in the field sooner.
And that's that's I guess the rule. According When I

(57:04):
was reading about the Julian Edelman suspension, you know, I've
been perplexed by the NFL's sudden willingness to do deals
with guys and I don't know what they gained from
the jamis Winston saga. I think there's a lot to
learn from that steal, because still, because what he had
started at a four game according to early reports, then
it became three games. Uh. Some are saying he might

(57:27):
even be able to play it down to two games,
but we're a long way from that. But I don't
I don't understand this sudden interest by a league that
had ruled with an iron fist to suddenly want to
do deals and try to do deals. And I guess what,
Edelman just kinda I mean, he went with the old
snitches get stitches mindset, didn't he do? You do you
think that's wrong? You think it's wrong to out somebody

(57:50):
who blatantly cheats, and you're gonna go ahead and keep
your mouth shut. So like if if if you were
in high school and you're competing for a scholarship and
you do the person cheated, you shouldn't write Matt let
them have the scholarship. I don't understand why if somebody
else is doing something wrong, why not get back and
get yourself back on the football field early and and
and have somebody else punished instead of you. Taken all

(58:11):
the punishment and hurting your team like that. That's a
little selfish. Well help me, but better understand this because
we still don't even know what he took, right, we
don't know what he tested positive for. And then he
tried to go after the NFL and a technicality. They
come back and say, hey, we'll we'll minimize that if
you kind of tell us what you would take. I
think you could have gotten from a four game to

(58:32):
a two. Well, they uphelded the suspension, and I guess
there was talking that he could have gotten a two
games suspension instead of four if he would have said, Okay, uh,
you know what did you take? Or you know where
did you get it from? What other coaches are involved,
what other players are involved, Roll over on somebody and
we'll cut it in half. Does this not reek, boy?

(58:53):
I hate to feed into any patriot paranoia, Not that
you guys have anything to be paranoid about. You win
all the time. But does this not feed into that
belief that maybe the league in a lot of ways,
Roger Goodell looks at Tom brady is as the golden goose,
and that's who he's going to get, because I mean
the way or another, We're going to get right. So

(59:14):
so maybe their thought is if he can bust out
TV twelve his vitamin company, then maybe out of nowhere
they have another charge. They can go after Tom Brady
for I'm just vamping here, I'm just throwing it off
the wall. You imagine if Edelman rolled over on Brady
and said, yes, I got it from Tom. It's his fault,

(59:35):
let's go after him. Good, you have good. You imagine
need after need have to leave Fox Bro. If that
was true, well, and I guess, I guess to you
you can't help. But wonder anymore, what's what's real and
what isn't with the NFL on unknown substances and exactly
what they're out to do. Are they trying to clean
up the game or are they just are they trying
to find the kingpin? If you will? Is there a

(59:57):
pusher out there that they're going I don't know. If
they're trying make deals with guys it makes happen, But
you would tell Derek car cut it from six to
three suspension. If you have to roll over on somebody
who's on another team or another coach, you would do
that in a Heartpea Chris cattle Away d Cart. Unless
your backup plays well, then go ahead and certain suspension,

(01:00:20):
and then we can debate about whether or not you
get your job back or if you have to earn
it back on the first player that rats somebody out.
What sports talk radio is gonna be like for that week. Unbelievable,
it's gonna happen. You know, at some point it's going
to happen. But yeah, so his suspension is upheld. We're
reaching that time of the year whenever you have a

(01:00:40):
few more either drug suspensions or violations of the Conduct
Code suspension, so we shmight not be done. We we
should air that too. Could you imagine another play going Okay,
you got me, but here are the other ten names
that are guilty, and I'm gonna read him an alphabetic quarter.
Could you imagine the radio that would be? Oh my goodness.
By the way, Matt Ryan checked in on Twitter at

(01:01:03):
Stinking Genius one s T I and k I and
Genius the number one at Plank Show, and of course
everybody should be following us at Fox Sports Radio. Matt right,
no one listens for Arnie's picks. We only listen to here.
If Steve Kerr will finally call in. It's going to
take a miracle, but it would be amazing to hear
Kerr bash. Well, if if you wouldn't, you know, say
bad things about the Golden State Warriors, I'd have a

(01:01:24):
better chance of getting him to call on in there. Chris,
you know what I've got a I've got a chow
coming up next week. I'm gonna go back through old
shows and just put together all the times when you
destroyed the Warriors. I called him soft and Steph Curry
and his mouth piece. I mean, come on, I have
somebody else that I'm stalking now too. I always have
two I always have two numbers. Steve Kerr and the

(01:01:47):
other person I called I've had on my show locally
in Vermont and I I started texting him and he
doesn't text me back. Now is Kobe Altman the gym
for the Cavaliers? Oh? I thought you're gonna say the
guy got fired. Well, he's got a lot to do
right now, Altman does, So why don't leave? I mean
there's no games going on, I mean, how busy can
he really be? All right? Well, when we come back

(01:02:08):
to the because you want the College at Delaware right, Middlebury, Middlebury,
come on, I'll get it right me and my regionality
is very limited when it comes to the Northeast. I've
got to be better when we come back to the
guy called Fox Sports Radio Studios. More of your tweets
and which side are you on? Well, just just as

(01:02:29):
a quick thought, Arnie, are you on the side of
one Kawhi Leonard? Are you on the side of the Spurs?
Are you on the side of the I'm sympathetic to
the San Antonio Spurs. I I really am, and unfortunately
they're in a bad position. So I feel bad for
them because I believe their side more so than Kawhi
Leonard's side. Well, when we come back, we'll tell you

(01:02:51):
exactly the I guess you could say nuclear bomb that
was dropped last week by Mike Wright and what the
Kauai camp allegedly did. And then our man Fox Sports Radio,
Chris Broussard, coming in and waving the finger to Kimbay
Matambo style and saying, uh, not so fast. We'll play
that for you and get you more as we count
down to not only the start of the NFL season,

(01:03:11):
but college football as well. I've got a few overpaid
underpaid guys to get into and oh yeah, we got
We've got to get to our story about two people
who tried to shoot fireflies because they thought they were
a Steve to say, and it wasn't Steve to say.
I would believe it. You know. I read a story tonight.
The Royals, who have lost nine in a row. They

(01:03:33):
signed a sixteen year old pitcher from Japan sixteen, instead
of going to the famed high school baseball tournament, the
equivalent of their March Madness there, he's gonna come over
here and they think, after the paperwork, he's gonna make
it to the US next month already and play some
instructional league this year and then start a quote standard
seven year minor league contract. No, let's let's put them

(01:03:54):
right up in the big weeks. Now, let's go ahead
and do it. Let's see what the kids got. Six
to one seventy somebody born in two thousand two was
just signed by a major league team for KRANTA. Doesn't
seem possible. Wow, you're old well. Tonight in Araheim, the
Angels beat the Dodgers for three. Dodgers got an early
three run homer from Yasi Opie, but he later left
with a strange oblique likely will go on the disabled

(01:04:16):
list for the Halos, Albert pools with a solo homer
career home run number six seven and then show Hey
Otani the pinch homer for the lead in the seventh.
The guy who in the offseason picked the Angels over
the Dodgers. Good move considering he's with a d H league.
He can do nothing but d H these days due
to the arm injury. San Diego in sixteen and Ings

(01:04:37):
won four three at Arizona, getting a home run off
Jeff Mathis the starting catcher. San Francisco and Seattle got
home wins ten inning victories for the Yankees and Cubs.
Houston won at sixth straight. Boston won at six in
a row. That was the game at Kansas City, seven
four red Sox. Boston's record sixty one and twenty nine.
There's still two games up on the Yankees for best

(01:04:58):
overall mark Kansas City meanwhile last place in the a
L Central and sixty three. The All Star starters for
the game a week from Tuesday named Tonight, including most
of the rosters A L and n L, and that
American League outfielder Mookie bets Mike Trout and Aaron Judge.
Fox TV will have the All Star Game from DC
a week from Tuesday. Bryce Harper is going to be

(01:05:21):
starting in the outfield. I assume Max Jerzy will be
picked as the starting pitcher he is on the roster.
Fox TV will have Tuesday's World Cup semi final. That's
the next game in the tournament Tuesday, two pm Eastern Time,
Belgium against France. The next day, Wednesday, the semifinal is
England against Croatia. Online car shopping can be confusing, not anymore.
With True Price from True Car, now you can know

(01:05:42):
the exact price you'll pay for your next car. So
visit Truecar to enjoy a more confident car buying experience.
Wimbledon took today off. They take the middle Sunday of
the tournament off. And I saw this headline from Las Vegas.
Travis Pastrana land Caesar's Palace jump in tribute. He was
doing like fifty years ago Evil Kinevel had this huge

(01:06:03):
crash and massive injuries trying to jump the fountains at
Caesar's Palace. Pastrando did three jumps, all apparently successful for
a TV event. A couple of them were re enacting
the Evil Kinevil stunts of the seventies sixteen Greyhound buses
to jump over another fifty two stack cars. So quite
a day for what do I know about that? But
the Evil Kinevil thing was like such a big television event, massive, yeah,

(01:06:27):
and this is like nothing, this is coming in under
the radar. This is that was right up there with
Bobby Riggs against Billy gene King. Of course, there are
only three channels back then, are this? And Travis Pastrana
just jumped like an angle over a part of the pool.
I mean, come on, dude, I love the death He's
one of my favorites. But I mean both Eric Roberts
are producing and I were laughing as we were watching this,

(01:06:50):
and maybe it was just the camera angles, but it's
he wasn't really jumping over the whole fountain. At least
it wasn't like the Michael Phelps thing. It wasn't like
a car tune Peter generated fountain that he was. No,
he passed away. I think it was about ten years
ago behind on that one. Thanks Steve, we come to

(01:07:13):
live from the Geico Fox Sports Radio Studios. What does
it mean when Geico says just fifteen minutes could save
you fifteen cent or more on car insurance. Well, it
means you probably should have gone to Geico dot com
fifteen minutes ago. We are fifteen minutes away from Arnie's picks.
I'm very intrigued to see what. I can't wait to
see what I am going to pick. I am intrigued though,

(01:07:33):
to get into this saga. We've been teasing it and
waiting on it. Uh, Twitter has been great tonight. I'm
not ignoring it. It's just it's through the Arnie names
like Laker, span Yard. If I was going to change
my name, there was so many good ones out there.
U C. L A. Dodger, Frank has some good, good ones.
We'll get you. I mean, I'm not planning on your
picks eating up the entire final So I'm just I'm

(01:07:54):
just saying I feel like we'll have some time. So
real quick, let's reset this debate from the past week.
Our man Chris Broussard kind of set the record straight,
but before he did, Spurs reporter Mike Wright made some
pretty incredible claims about just how challenging it was for
the Spurs to get any information about Kawhi Leonard during

(01:08:16):
his injury. Listen to this from his podcast last week.
Spurs were in the dark most of the season. Some
of the things that were happening was crazy. There was
a point during his rehab process in New York some
of the Spurs brass went out to see him. As
soon as those guys arrived to the building, Kauai's people
grabbed him as sequested him to another part of the building,
so the Spurs people couldn't even see him. Now now

(01:08:36):
again again, pretty ridiculous, right building? How big is this
building that they can hide him like that? I want
another There are they running around back halls? I mean,
is there some sort of code word Kauai? Eagle eagle landed,
eagle landed, go go go? Are they running him out
with like trench coats and hiding him? Uh? They were
One more quick point here on how tough it was
to get answers. You go through the entire season and

(01:08:59):
Pop was asked these questions over and over and over again.
And the thing was Pop didn't have the answers because
the whole rehab process was out of his hand. He
didn't know anything. So when he's saying You'll have to
ask his group. It's not like you're trying to take
a shot at Kawai and his people. It's that he
doesn't know he was he was taking a shot at
Kawai as people stop. Of course he was, of course.

(01:09:22):
But here's what Chris Brussard said. I believe this was
on a Coward show on Friday. But I just spoke
with somebody close to Kauai less than an hour ago
and they vehemently denied this story, called it bs called
it bs um. They said that everything they did in

(01:09:44):
New York was under the parameters of the Spurs. Spurs
knew what was going on, that trainers were up there
from the Spurs working out with Kauai, that Spurs brass
came up there and saw Kauai and knew what was
going on. So Michael Wright is a respected reporters, so
I don't want to, you know, go against it. Somebody

(01:10:04):
obviously told him this. He's certainly not making it up.
But I'm just telling you I've talked to a person
close to Kauai who wouldn't know who said that this
is ridiculous. So here's my question, why would the Spurs
want bad information out there on Kauai. Maybe I need
to be educated, but aren't I mean, they're they're trying
to get huge return. If they're gonna trade him right now,

(01:10:26):
why would they want information out there? Why would someone
from the Spurs camp plant that information about Kauai. That's
what blew my mind through this whole saga, because what
what'd you hear to the Sixers right now? That came out? Yeah,
I got that as a tweet. Now there's a report
that he doesn't really want to go to the Lakers.
He'd rather go to the Clippers. But the Clippers, I mean,

(01:10:47):
who You're the Clippers gonna trade for Quiet? What do
they have? You know? Because I've told you this story before.
Besides me being best friends with Steve kerr Um, you know,
we had another high school teammate that an assistant coach
on Popovich's staff right now, you know that, right the
shooting coach, the shooting got Chip Enguin. What do you
mean the shooting coach one of the best shooters I've
ever seen in my life. He's the one that's been

(01:11:09):
working with Kawhi Leonard over the last so many years
to make him the shooter that he's turned in now, Um,
I would love to get Chip on, but from what
I hear, and I didn't get this from Chip as
I haven't tucked the chip in a lot of time.
But from what I hear, this has gone on way
back so early that it was it was evident that
he was never gonna come back to the Furst to
begin with anyway, and he was just waiting for a

(01:11:31):
way to get out. That's why I really thought he
was gonna be a member of the Lakers by the
time we got back on the show today. And I
still think he's gonna be a member of the Lakers.
I'm not buying into the seventy Phildelphia seventy sixers things
unless they're not taking the best offer, and then that's
a big mistake. Yeah, I think they're gonna I think
they're gonna take the best offer. And really, who who
can give you the best assets? The Lakers or the Sixers,

(01:11:54):
And and I don't know. The Sixers won't give you
the best offer because they know what's happening after one
year and if you if you step back for a moment,
you can't play this. Well, we'll just wait till free
agency and honestly this the Spurs can't either. You and
I have had this debate alot. Either can the Celtics.
Kyrie is not coming back to the Celtics, so you've
got the deal him also, right, I mean I don't

(01:12:17):
hear much of a market for Kyrie though right now?
Do you go to the New York Knicks is where
I'll end up? Well, I understand that, but I don't
hear anything about them trying to move him right now.
And I mean you're up there, so maybe I'm missing something.
But are they secretly not? Every trade is out in
the open. Well, first, I don't think something. Fans really

(01:12:39):
believe it. I mean they thought the great run they
had last year and getting Kyrie, Backe and Gore Heyward back,
they think it's their chance to make a championship run.
But you know, when this year ends and they're not
gonna deal midway through, I think they're gonna take their chances,
um because they really not gonna get much of return
except for maybe some draft picks. So they'll take their
chances and see if they can win a champion chip

(01:13:00):
this year, Chris, they won't get much in return because
if they wait and I don't think they really care
because they're going all in unless he gets hurt again
in Boston. But Arnie, the Spurs are risking a lot here.
I mean, Tony Parker's he's in Charlotte now, but his
career is basically over. Man, who's done? Who are you
building that franchise around? Right now? You let Kyle Anderson? Yeah,

(01:13:23):
Sean Elliot's gone. Are you can't use Avery Bradley or
Steve Kerr. They're all gone. Okay, they've all they've all retired.
You can't use them, But this is your guy, so
you're going to have to get a substantial return. I
love Popovitch, I love R. C. Beauford, I love everything
about the Spurs, And you can get everyone in San

(01:13:43):
Antonio all riled up about Kaua. I hate him, can't
believe he's doing this. But who are you building around?
Who's your guy? Are you? If he goes, you're essentially
hitting reboot on that franchise. I mean, Marcus Aldrich, come on,
Jack averyboot right now? Anyway? I mean, it was like
you're gonna win a championship with Kawai winner and anyway
on that team. Probably not, but you feel a little

(01:14:04):
bit better if you had a committed Kauai for the
next five years along with that's never happening, you know that.
I don't know if LaMarcus Aldridge would be committed, but hey,
that's how they viewed things. And then suddenly, boom, you
hit this roadblock and next thing you know, you got
a deal. I still don't believe he's gonna end up
a Laker, but honestly, Arnie, I don't see where else
he could go about Damian Lillard. Do you believe he's

(01:14:26):
going to be a Laker? If Lillard's coming to the Lakers,
he's gonna wear his Raiders tattoo, and he's taken over
the NBA? What am I gett a little carried away
here in Portland's now. I think it's gonna be fun
to watch the NBA offseason again the next few weeks
using material life. You think that's that's that's a bogus
rumor that because he did put something out one of

(01:14:46):
those cryptic tweets on on Twitter, did he not or what? Yeah?
He said? What I'm someone said, are you would you
be happy playing with Lebron? He goes, I'm typically a
happy guy, or something like that. I'm not I'm not
buying of the crap that's out there right now, honestly.
In fact, I don't buy that Kawai's people hit him
in New York. I don't buy that the Sixers aren't
necessarily offering anything for him. And I don't buy that

(01:15:07):
the Spurs would float that information out there. Guy, Sure
as hell don't buy that the Lakers have inquired about
Oh gosh, who was the laundry list of guys Arnie,
john Wall, Damian Lillard, Clay Thompson, I mean, you name it.
Apparently the Lakers and an impuiant about him. It's gonna
be a mess man. Poor guys going to l A.
All right, when we come back to the Geico Fox

(01:15:28):
Sports Radio studios, we wrap it up the only way
we know how, with Arnie's Picks. That's next with Arnie
and Plank on a Fox Sports Sunday. Great news, Arnie's
picks are coming up next. Even better news. There's a
quick way you could save money. Switch to Geico. Go
to Geico dot com and in fifteen minutes you could
say or a Moron car insurance special. Thanks to Eric Roberts,

(01:15:51):
our producer, every time when I'm a little bit down
during the day, I laughed thinking about Arnie introducing himself
to Eric whenever he was in the Geico Fi Sports
radio studios. The best thing is is like I get,
I get, he's out another side. Yeah, you met him before.
Great job tonight, Eric, But it's not a great job.
He hasn't talked to me in a month. I didn't

(01:16:13):
even know he was still the producer of the show.
He replied to your Facebook message last not even let
me on Facebook. Right now, I'm here, I got I
have to like literally lean over Bobo. So it's like
it's just a process many plank is with within arms
reaching me Bobo. I gotta be over Bobo to talk
to Arnie. It's just tough anything like that. Bobo is

(01:16:35):
the key communicator with Arnie, and that's kind of what
he does beyond the great music, the great music and
the bumps, the wheels to steal and the sager on
up day take don't go anywhere because Ben Mallard, I'm
sure we'll find something wrong with Lebron like basically y'all
have anyway, So it'll be a fun four hours filled

(01:16:56):
with love and hate with the Ben Mallor show coming
up next, Arnie. Do you want to get the tweets
before or after your picks? Let's go after. I'm chopping
at the bit. I've been breaking down soccer. I've been
My picks have been unbelievable. So let's get right out
of put me in the brood bow bow. Let's go
ahead and get these picks, and let's start with England
and Croatia. I've been breaking down this game, Chris, every

(01:17:18):
which way imaginable. I mean, Harry Kane on offense, Harry
Kane on defense, Harry Kane and goal. Is there more
I need to say on that? Yeah, but just just
go with it. Give me England then for an apparent
no reason whatsoever, and I'm gonna take France over Belgium.
I was really never much of a Waffle fan anyway.
I mean, I do like the chocolates, but I think

(01:17:40):
France is a better team here, So I mean, tell
me you get breakdowns better than that. I am picked
my Bakers in the Summer League to win the championships.
I am gonna go in crown him champions if they
win the Summer Way, and so I will be a
laker by the time we get on the air next Sunday,
you picked the Summer League game. It's not that thin
out there right now. I mean we got I sent

(01:18:02):
you are dragging on the Summer League. Yes, the Summer
League is the worst thing ever. Let me tell what
are you what? Because you get these idiotic, definitive statements
about guys that you never hear from again. Hey, let
me tell you something. What I dig being in Vegas
watching it? What I love to be in Sacramento watching it.
You bet, but don't take it for what it's. My

(01:18:23):
brother went with his friend. They bought seats courtside bucks
apiece and they just hang out there all day. Yeah.
From a spectator perspective, I bet it's awesome. Oh, he
said it was great. He called to congratulate me. He goes, congratulations, Like, okay,
what what now with the BLOGI He goes, Kevin Knox
is just phenomenal to steal of the draft. I mean

(01:18:45):
he just was going on and on about him. Yeah,
he is being inducted into the Summer League Hall of Fame.
I'm sure there's a couple of other great names that
had great Summer League performances, but the NFL preseason Hall
of Fame. Yeah, exactly exactly. Bryce Butler is in that,
so good luck. Hey, couple of quick notes here, real
quick before we get to the tweets of the show. Uh,

(01:19:06):
Michael Mulville, who covers our multi hill I believe it is,
who covers TV ratings, dropped this nugget earlier today. So far.
Uh the Round of eight viewership that the numbers are
still rolling in pulled numbers four point five million area
viewership wise four point five mill. Just a scotch off

(01:19:26):
the NBA playoff Frank Kings this year at four point
eight mill. The Friday morning match kept the World Cup
for getting there. But pretty impressive, Artie, to be that
close to the NBA finals. Are excuse me to the
NBA playoff numbers, and I guess more fuel for you
to talk about the decline of the NBA's talent, right,
And I'm a little shocked about that. I shouldn't be,
because I've been telling you that the NBA is going

(01:19:48):
to have a problem with star power and I was
exactly right on that with all that years ago. That
was Scott writes anyone, And as we quickly get to
Twitter before we get out of here. Anyone who thinks
Kobe belongs in the goat conversation isn't rational. There's no
sound argument, so of course they see Lebron as a threat,
which gets me to this tweet, which was absolutely fantastic.

(01:20:10):
I never thought of it this way. Who was at
Carlos as a member of a few Laker fan pages.
He's more of an expert than I am. I've come
to accept that Laker fans are divided into two groups
of fans, Laker fans and Kobe Bryant fans, and these
are the ones behind the backlash on Lebron. And then
I like this from Hate Everything More, who writes nice

(01:20:32):
choices for your name, Arnie, but only because worst run
franchise in sports Spanier is too wordy, Plus it never
fit on a license. Well, I mean, for the most part,
a majority of your team's aren't really run that well.
About Mush Spaniard, I kind of like that, dude, Mush
would be an odd You should go with that instead
of the stinking genius, and it'd be much easier to

(01:20:54):
save your Twitter handle. Man, I having a spell out
stinking every time at one. Oh my gosh, we have
a future in this business finally alright, great tweets, Tonight guys,
fun show, Arnie have a great week too. For Bobo,
for Eric, for Stephen, for Arnie, I'm Chris Planks. Stick
