00:00:16.320 --> 00:00:21.600
Where are we at in society today? Come after me. I'm a man,

2
00:00:21.879 --> 00:00:26.760
I'm forty. Go ahead, make
my day every single week. I

3
00:00:26.839 --> 00:00:29.359
put my freaking heart and soul into
this. I don't go out there and

4
00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:32.520
laugh. It's not funny. Nothing's
funny to me. I don't want to

5
00:00:32.520 --> 00:00:36.039
go out there and get embarrassed on
Monday night football. For everybody, I

6
00:00:36.079 --> 00:00:40.000
think this is the beginning of a
beautiful friendship. So I ain't nothing changed

7
00:00:40.039 --> 00:00:44.399
from yesterday. Still the same person
I was yesterday, and I got the

8
00:00:44.439 --> 00:00:48.240
same thing for you that I had
yesterday. You know why I'm here.

9
00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:53.759
You play to win the day.
You don't play to just play it.

10
00:00:56.200 --> 00:01:00.439
That's a great thing about sports.
You play to win, and I don't

11
00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:03.359
care if you don't have any wins. You go play to win. When

12
00:01:03.400 --> 00:01:10.519
you start telling me it doesn't matter
to retire, get out for the matter.

13
00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:19.159
At some point winning is going to
matter to Tigers fans at some point.

14
00:01:19.719 --> 00:01:23.680
It's not right now. Apparently there's
not enough angst, there's not enough

15
00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:32.319
disappointment, there's not enough frustration.
Another loss last night to another team that

16
00:01:33.719 --> 00:01:38.719
historically what you look at how you
view them, And I suppose that's up

17
00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:45.640
to your own individual lens, But
losing to the Washington Nationals in a series

18
00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:49.159
at home with one of your better
pitchers, knowing that you had getten,

19
00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:55.640
made two more errors, and continue
to stumble away opportunities has got to be

20
00:01:56.000 --> 00:02:00.680
a little bit more frustrating than what
I've noticed, unless we're starting to look

21
00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:05.599
at it with apathy. And if
that's the case, you've crossed over a

22
00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:08.879
line. If you're the Detroit Tigers
in their organization where it just does not

23
00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:14.400
matter. People have moved on and
they're going to do something else. They're

24
00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:21.199
going to find something else to focus
their sports attention on, or just no

25
00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:25.400
longer care. And that's a serious
issue that should be more worrisome almost than

26
00:02:25.439 --> 00:02:30.000
the losses that continue to pile up
than are now five out of the last

27
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:34.719
six. Welcome everybody to a Thursday
edition of Exus and Bros. We are

28
00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:38.360
live at the Blackfield Country Club for
the tenth annual Mayer Classic. We are

29
00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:43.599
just outside the putting green. That
is just spectacular. It's going to be

30
00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:49.639
an awesome day. It is a
beautiful course. It is manicured and groomed

31
00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:54.240
to perfection. And looking forward to
watching a lot of the greatest golfers in

32
00:02:54.240 --> 00:02:58.719
the world, including Nelly Korda,
who is number one in the country,

33
00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:04.039
number one in the world. Take
dead aim at this place and we are

34
00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:07.800
well. We're hoping to talk to
some folks here who are associated with this

35
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:15.039
fine event that is under the direction
of one Kathy Cooper with Meyer, and

36
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:21.400
they will continue to push for simply
give, which is such a worthy cause

37
00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:25.800
where you are giving back to the
Michigan community, the Midwest and the food

38
00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:30.759
pantries throughout this great area. So
you can call us on the Meyer hotline

39
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:35.120
eight six six eight three eight forty
eight forty three. You can text the

40
00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:38.960
program Sports Radio to twenty one thousand. Tiger's a loser last night seven to

41
00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:43.400
five. Reese Olsen has now struggled
a little bit, and you're not gonna

42
00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:46.000
blame it along him because he's been
overall, he's been really good. Your

43
00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:51.240
offense needs to pick him up.
Remember, earlier in the year, Reese

44
00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:57.960
Olsen started out with not many wins, just one, because the offense was

45
00:03:58.080 --> 00:04:02.680
the worst while he was paid in
all of baseball. He and Jack Flaherty

46
00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:10.680
had two of the worst run supports
in all of baseball. Now, even

47
00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:15.960
though he was keeping you in games
before. Now Olsen has struggled over his

48
00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:20.360
last three starts, and your offense
isn't supporting him the way you need.

49
00:04:21.399 --> 00:04:27.879
Third straight in a row, Detroit
sloppy on defense, Olson surrenders five runs,

50
00:04:28.439 --> 00:04:33.639
Detroit gives up as a team thirteen
hits to Washington, and they end

51
00:04:33.720 --> 00:04:40.240
up losing. So the series wrap
up comes later today at Comerica Park.

52
00:04:40.879 --> 00:04:46.360
Meanwhile, on the NBA scoreboard,
the Boston Celtics are now up three games

53
00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:51.839
to none. This is the situation
the NBA was in fearful of. It

54
00:04:51.959 --> 00:04:59.360
is a less than competitive final series
than you want it. Boston outscored Dallas

55
00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:02.920
thirty five to nineteen in the third. They were up by twenty one in

56
00:05:02.959 --> 00:05:10.000
this game. The Mavericks come storming
back. For some reason, something clicked

57
00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:15.920
with Dallas. At some point in
the fourth they recognized, you know what

58
00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:19.720
are arms in a sling? We
better do something about it, and they

59
00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:24.319
actually focused on the defensive side of
the ball. So I know, I

60
00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:29.240
talk about this a lot about defense
wins championships, right. People say that

61
00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:32.560
as a cliche, but it's true. I think you have to score too,

62
00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:38.360
obviously, But I do understand why
people feel that way. Okay,

63
00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:43.800
Dallas finally got it in the fourth
quarter. They moved their feet, they

64
00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:47.759
had better help defense, their hands
were more active. Why did it take

65
00:05:47.800 --> 00:05:53.079
that long? Why does it take
until the fourth quarter. Well, you're

66
00:05:53.079 --> 00:05:58.600
getting trucked at home. The stands
are on their hands. Okay, nobody

67
00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:03.480
was standing in Dallas. They all
recognize what's going on here. Boston is

68
00:06:03.480 --> 00:06:09.439
making shot after shot. You're giving
them open looks. You're watching them cut

69
00:06:09.439 --> 00:06:13.199
to the basket, and then something
clicks. They're like, you know what,

70
00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:16.079
maybe if we played defense, it
might lead to better offense. And

71
00:06:16.160 --> 00:06:20.399
suddenly it did, and then Dallas
got back into it. They crawled to

72
00:06:20.439 --> 00:06:26.360
within two, and then Boston pushes
right back and they are now up three

73
00:06:26.439 --> 00:06:29.720
games toenne. I told you earlier
in the week, I said you're going

74
00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:32.959
to see Kyrie Irving's best game of
the series, perhaps the best of his

75
00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:36.319
playoffs. Now it wasn't the best
of his playoffs, but he did have

76
00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:43.160
thirty five on thirteen to twenty eight, shooting four triples as well. Luka

77
00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:47.240
Doncic had twenty seven. Now,
I'm kind of upset at myself right now

78
00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:54.120
because I focused more on the two
high scoring players on a team that lost,

79
00:06:54.560 --> 00:06:58.279
when you should be looking at what
Boston did. Jalen Brown, who

80
00:06:58.279 --> 00:07:00.680
I said before the series began,
I said, I think he's the best

81
00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:06.399
player in the series. I think
he's the best player on either team overall,

82
00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:12.519
not best scorer, best overall player. Somebody and I were talking about

83
00:07:12.519 --> 00:07:14.920
this the other day and they said, no, it's Luke Adncis. I

84
00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:16.959
said, why, because he's the
best scorer. I mean, he is

85
00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:21.319
a five time first team All NBA
selection in six years. That's pretty damn

86
00:07:21.319 --> 00:07:26.360
good. But he doesn't play the
defense very well. Jalen Brown does both.

87
00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:30.040
And Jalen Brown had thirty points last
night to pace the Boston attack.

88
00:07:31.079 --> 00:07:36.639
Jason Tatum had thirty one with six
boards and five assists. So you're looking

89
00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:41.879
at it where Boston's two best players, and it's fair to call them both

90
00:07:42.600 --> 00:07:48.839
though you know that combination has been
better than Dallas's best players overall. I'm

91
00:07:48.839 --> 00:07:53.360
not talking about just scoring. I'm
talking about overall game. And then you

92
00:07:53.399 --> 00:07:59.759
look at what Boston has done with
their ancillary players compared to Dallas. Dallas

93
00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:03.040
isn't get much. I don't know
how much you want to expect from Washington

94
00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:09.800
and Jones and Gafford and Clayby and
Lively. But you got to expect more

95
00:08:09.839 --> 00:08:15.000
than that if they want to have
any chance at winning any game in this

96
00:08:15.079 --> 00:08:20.680
series. One six ninety nine is
the final from Game three, also last

97
00:08:20.759 --> 00:08:26.800
night or yesterday. Unfortunately, Jerry
West has passed at the age of eighty

98
00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:33.000
six. When people talk about the
greatest basketball players of all time, it's

99
00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:37.480
such a broad category, right,
But when you talk about the greatest basketball

100
00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:41.879
players of all time, Jerry West, when you talk to fans now,

101
00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:48.480
is not very often mentioned. And
I wonder why that is, considering he's

102
00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:52.759
not just a Hall of Fame player, but he's a two time Hall of

103
00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:56.679
Fame executive. So he's been inducted
in the Hall of Fame three times.

104
00:08:56.759 --> 00:09:01.480
I want you to think about that
for a second minute. He put together

105
00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:05.840
the great Lakers teams of the eighties
and again in the two thousands, and

106
00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:11.559
when you see and hear about what
he accomplished, not just at the NBA

107
00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:16.759
level, but at the collegiate level, you might understand where I'm coming from

108
00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:20.840
a little bit better. We'll talk
about that as we roll on on an

109
00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:24.840
early Thursday morning. Just getting you
started here on Xes and Bros. From

00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:33.320
unbelievable day. We expect it to
be a great weekend here just outside ground

112
00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:37.039
rapids, and we're glad we're here

119
00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:11.559
Kyrie, when when Local fouled out, what was the mindset of the

120
00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:15.399
team and also did you feel like
at that time you had to take over

121
00:10:15.440 --> 00:10:18.399
the game? I mean, I
don't think I really had a choice.

122
00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:22.320
You know, it was unfortunate that
the foul was called. You know,

123
00:10:22.399 --> 00:10:24.399
Luca picked up his fifth and sixth, and I think in a matter of

124
00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:28.480
a three minute span or two minutes
span, so it's tough, but we

125
00:10:28.519 --> 00:10:31.399
still had to figure out a way
to win the basketball game. We put

126
00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:35.360
our best foot forward, especially being
down twenty one. You know, we

127
00:10:35.399 --> 00:10:39.120
easily could have packed up and folded, but we didn't give up. We

128
00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:41.639
kept playing and the guys that were
out there, we kept competing and felt

129
00:10:41.679 --> 00:10:46.240
like we gave ourselves a chance to
win down the stretch. That obviously made

130
00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:48.960
some big plays, some big shots, so we gotta give them credit.

131
00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:52.639
But we got to play the way
we played, you know, being down

132
00:10:52.639 --> 00:10:54.679
twenty one the whole entire game,
playing with that pace, playing with that

133
00:10:54.679 --> 00:11:00.360
that pride, you know, that's
what's got us here today. But when

134
00:11:00.399 --> 00:11:03.799
you're going to get some good juggernaut
offensive team like the Boss Sets is gonna

135
00:11:03.799 --> 00:11:13.919
make you pay for mistakes, and
you gotta give him credit back with you

136
00:11:13.960 --> 00:11:20.679
on extras and Bros. Here at
the Meyer Classic, the tenth Annuel Meyer

137
00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:24.200
Classic, the sun is starting to
rise here just to my right, I'm

138
00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:28.799
just outside the practice green here at
Blackfield Country Club. It is spectacular.

139
00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:33.919
The people here have done a wonderful
job of putting on another grade A event

140
00:11:33.879 --> 00:11:37.799
and looking forward to talking more about
it throughout the morning. Bill Simonson,

141
00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:41.679
my friend the Huge Show, will
be out here like he was yesterday,

142
00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:48.559
talking to folks and giving you an
idea of what you can expect in the

143
00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:52.600
first round on this Thursday. He'll
be out here later on today between three

144
00:11:52.759 --> 00:11:58.799
and six. Our Meyer hotline is
open for you. Anything that might be

145
00:11:58.840 --> 00:12:01.519
on your mind in the world is
sport. It's eight sixty six eight three,

146
00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:05.519
eight forty eight forty three. You
can text the program Sports Radio to

147
00:12:05.600 --> 00:12:09.639
twenty one thousand. That was Kyrie
Irving, as you could tell as by

148
00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:15.279
the question who led everybody with thirty
five points in a Dallas one oh six

149
00:12:15.480 --> 00:12:20.679
ninety nine loss last night. There's
a couple of different ways you look at

150
00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:28.919
it, and Kyrie Irving has the
right perspective from an athlete standpoint. You

151
00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:31.919
know, give them some credit,
yes, And I know you get tired

152
00:12:31.960 --> 00:12:35.360
of hearing that, as do I
quite honestly. I mean there's a lot

153
00:12:35.399 --> 00:12:39.639
of times where you're going, Okay, enough is enough. I'm tired of

154
00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:46.039
the what's the cliche in baseball,
tip the cap? Enough beat them?

155
00:12:46.440 --> 00:12:50.240
Right? At some point you're going
to say, as a fan, can

156
00:12:50.279 --> 00:12:52.360
you beat them? Go out there
and beat them. William Kyrie, Irving

157
00:12:52.679 --> 00:13:01.000
and company fought till the end,
which is noble. It is and deserves

158
00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:09.919
some recognition, some acknowledgment. But
the cynic in me immediately asks, where

159
00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:16.879
the hell was that in the second
and the third quarter? Where was the

160
00:13:16.879 --> 00:13:22.320
fight there? You didn't see it
at least it wasn't evident, especially in

161
00:13:22.360 --> 00:13:26.000
that third quarter, as I mentioned, when Boston outscored him thirty five to

162
00:13:26.120 --> 00:13:31.720
nineteen. Boston is clearly the better
team. They clearly have the better overall

163
00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:37.440
players, and they're going to win
this series. And it's going to be

164
00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:41.720
it's gonna be borderline obnoxious, but
that's the way it goes, all right.

165
00:13:41.080 --> 00:13:45.600
They were the best team during the
regular season. They have been by

166
00:13:45.639 --> 00:13:48.679
far the best team in the postseason. They've only lost twice in the playoffs.

167
00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:52.120
So that tells you something right there, right. I was talking about

168
00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:58.120
Jerry West just before the break,
and we can get back into basketball again.

169
00:13:58.200 --> 00:14:01.039
Anything that's on your mind in the
world is this show is about you.

170
00:14:01.240 --> 00:14:05.320
This show is about whatever you want
to talk about. The Meyer hotline

171
00:14:05.320 --> 00:14:11.159
eight sixty six eight three eight forty
eight forty three. Jerry West was an

172
00:14:11.320 --> 00:14:13.840
icon, or is an icon.
Just because he's passed doesn't mean he's he's

173
00:14:13.879 --> 00:14:18.039
no longer an icon. He's the
third player to ever score twenty five thousand

174
00:14:18.080 --> 00:14:22.480
points. Now, I know Lebron
James is to forty thousand, but you

175
00:14:22.480 --> 00:14:28.799
know, understand the different eras please. He played fourteen years in the NBA.

176
00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:37.840
He was an All Star all fourteen
seasons. He was a twelve time.

177
00:14:37.919 --> 00:14:41.080
Out of the fourteen years he played, twelve times, he was named

178
00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:50.879
All NBA. Think about that for
a second. This is a guy who

179
00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:56.559
played fourteen seasons, and of those
fourteen seasons, people around the NBA closest

180
00:14:56.600 --> 00:15:03.399
to the league said, you're as
good as it gets, right, he

181
00:15:03.480 --> 00:15:07.480
deserves to be I mean twelve times, twelve out of the fourteen years.

182
00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:16.559
So put that in perspective Lebron James, we'll use it for today's NBA players.

183
00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:24.120
He's played twenty one time twenty one
years. He's All NBA twenty times,

184
00:15:24.919 --> 00:15:28.759
So you're talking about very similar I
mean, Lebron James is kind of

185
00:15:28.759 --> 00:15:33.399
a free because he's gone longer than
anybody else. You're talking about similar paths

186
00:15:33.639 --> 00:15:43.320
there from what they've done. He
played in nine NBA Championship Series. Now

187
00:15:43.320 --> 00:15:48.000
he only won one, and I'm
a little disappointed. That's what I said,

188
00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:52.399
only it's hard to win, man, especially when you had those great

189
00:15:52.399 --> 00:15:58.679
Celtics teams, but he won one
of them. He's also the only player

190
00:16:00.840 --> 00:16:07.679
still the only player to win Finals
MVP from a losing team. And that's

191
00:16:07.720 --> 00:16:11.919
not the first time he did it, because he did it in college too.

192
00:16:14.639 --> 00:16:18.159
Jerry West, while playing at West
Virginia and a two time All American

193
00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:21.960
who averaged over twenty five points per
game, was named the Final four Most

194
00:16:22.039 --> 00:16:27.799
Outstanding Player and the nineteen fifty nine
NCAA Tournament despite being on a losing team.

195
00:16:29.039 --> 00:16:32.320
So he's done two things I can't
recall. If anybody else has done

196
00:16:32.360 --> 00:16:34.240
that, they haven't done it.
In the NBA, he's been on two

197
00:16:34.320 --> 00:16:38.720
teams where he's lost, but he's
been the most outstanding player. On top

198
00:16:38.720 --> 00:16:41.919
of that, he's won a championship. He's a three time member of the

199
00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:45.759
NBA Hall or the Basketball Hall of
Fame, and he's a gold medalist from

200
00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:53.080
nineteen sixty. It's a loss for
basketball and the greatness that was Jerry West,

201
00:16:53.120 --> 00:17:00.360
but the human being as well.
Yesterday here at the tenth end Annual

202
00:17:00.759 --> 00:17:06.640
Meyer Golf classic. Bill Simonson in
the afternoon had a chance to talk with

203
00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:10.799
a Hall of Famer and one of
the greatest female golfers in the history of

204
00:17:10.799 --> 00:17:15.160
the sport, Julie Inkster. I
want to play you some of that interview

205
00:17:15.359 --> 00:17:18.720
from yesterday here at Plyfield Country Club
right now. Ah, well, we

206
00:17:18.759 --> 00:17:21.599
have to do when we come back, come back. Oh, we'll do

207
00:17:21.599 --> 00:17:22.680
it when we come back. Okay, Ben says, we'll do it when

208
00:17:22.680 --> 00:17:27.599
we come back, and then we'll
use that as a springboard to our conversation

209
00:17:27.720 --> 00:17:33.960
here and golf here in just outside
Grant Rapid. Let's a It is a

210
00:17:33.039 --> 00:17:38.440
spectacular day. Many of the golfers
are are coming in here getting ready for

211
00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:44.319
their tea time. They're on the
putting green right now and they are getting

212
00:17:44.319 --> 00:17:47.200
a feel for what's going on.
Yesterday was really nice too. We showed

213
00:17:47.279 --> 00:17:52.599
up yesterday and obviously yesterday we talked
to a couple of the golfers on ex'es

214
00:17:52.640 --> 00:17:56.799
and bros. But we showed up
yesterday and we saw them coming off the

215
00:17:56.839 --> 00:18:00.200
course and talking to a lot of
the players about the thoughts on how the

216
00:18:00.279 --> 00:18:04.640
course is playing. They raved about
it, and for good reason, and

217
00:18:04.680 --> 00:18:11.200
I think getting a feel from what
they were experiencing or what they've experienced here,

218
00:18:11.559 --> 00:18:15.599
mit all, what they love is
as much as anything else, not

219
00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:18.200
just the course, not just the
area, not just the people, but

220
00:18:18.279 --> 00:18:26.680
the cause. Simply give giving food
to those less fortunate, for food pantries

221
00:18:26.960 --> 00:18:30.240
in the state of Michigan, but
not just Michigan, the Midwest. This

222
00:18:30.359 --> 00:18:33.880
is not just a Michigan. Just
because being played in Michigan doesn't mean it's

223
00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:40.839
only for Michigan families. Meyer spreads
it far and wide. A tip of

224
00:18:40.839 --> 00:18:44.960
the cap to them for certain.
When we come back a little snippet of

the tenth Annuel My Your Classic.
Glad You're with Usnexus and Bros. On

236
00:19:45.200 --> 00:19:52.359
this Thursday. In the World Golf
Hall of Fame, certain names resonate a

237
00:19:52.359 --> 00:19:57.839
little bit more than others, obviously, players like Jack Nicholas, Tiger Woods,

238
00:19:59.200 --> 00:20:03.480
Arnold Palmer, and Lead Trevino and
Ben Hogan, the greats on the

239
00:20:03.480 --> 00:20:08.359
men's side. Julie Inkster is one
of those golfers in general, not just

240
00:20:08.680 --> 00:20:14.920
on the female side, but definitely
on the female side, but overall.

241
00:20:15.799 --> 00:20:22.000
Played twenty nine years on the LPGA
Tour. Her wins ranked second in wins

242
00:20:22.000 --> 00:20:26.640
among all active players on tour.
Forget about how much she's earned, but

243
00:20:26.799 --> 00:20:33.880
she's also won Sawheim Cup. She
was a member of the World Golf Hall

244
00:20:33.920 --> 00:20:37.799
of Fame as well, and the
only golfer in LPGA Tour history to win

245
00:20:37.880 --> 00:20:44.319
two majors in a decade. For
three consecutive decades, she won three in

246
00:20:44.359 --> 00:20:48.640
the nineteen eighties, two in the
nineteen nineties and two in the two thousands.

247
00:20:48.200 --> 00:20:53.000
She really is not just a great
golfer, but also a great ambassador

248
00:20:53.039 --> 00:20:57.920
for the sport. And she was
sat by yesterday here just outside Grand Rapids

249
00:20:59.119 --> 00:21:03.119
at the Meyer Klaa and spoke with
our Bill Simonson. Is part of the

250
00:21:03.200 --> 00:21:08.079
huge show yesterday afternoon on these great
Michigan Sports Network affiliates. Here's part of

251
00:21:08.079 --> 00:21:14.440
that conversation, Julie Engster legend when
it comes to lbgs who are joining us

252
00:21:14.480 --> 00:21:18.279
green Side here, Alexi Thomson Thoms
twenty nine. I'm saying she wants to

253
00:21:18.279 --> 00:21:21.319
take a break. It could be
for good, it could be just a

254
00:21:22.359 --> 00:21:26.559
sabbatical, however you want to phrase
it. Your thoughts on the pressures along

255
00:21:26.640 --> 00:21:32.880
with bigger persons, more TV coverage, more technology, social networks, the

256
00:21:33.160 --> 00:21:37.319
pressure to perform today for any pro
athlete is bigger than ever before. Well,

257
00:21:37.400 --> 00:21:41.480
and golf is golf and tennis.
You know, you're on an island

258
00:21:41.480 --> 00:21:44.440
by yourself. I mean it's just
you out there, so yeah, the

259
00:21:44.480 --> 00:21:49.519
pressure can run deep. I also
think that you know, Lexi started really

260
00:21:49.559 --> 00:21:55.000
playing professional golf when she was twelve
wasn't professional. She played in a lot

261
00:21:55.039 --> 00:21:59.319
of LPG events, she was a
high draw. Lexi's done everything, right.

262
00:21:59.480 --> 00:22:03.000
I mean you look at a pro
am party, there's Lexi. You

263
00:22:03.039 --> 00:22:07.359
look at what she does for the
kids in the tournament, there's Lexi.

264
00:22:07.920 --> 00:22:11.000
Uh, she has done nothing but
grow the game. And I think maybe

265
00:22:11.039 --> 00:22:17.200
sometimes you got to take a step
back because it can't get up to be

266
00:22:17.240 --> 00:22:21.880
a lot And and then with you
know, social media and the way you

267
00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:26.160
are, you know, you're sponsors
and stuff to be successful. I mean

268
00:22:26.240 --> 00:22:30.799
sometimes you can just wear on you. Well, what's the toughest part about

269
00:22:30.799 --> 00:22:36.160
being a professional golfer? No matter
what generation it is yours, today's younger

270
00:22:36.200 --> 00:22:40.519
golfers. What that the public has
no clue about. What would be the

271
00:22:41.240 --> 00:22:45.400
number one thing that is so tough
as a pro golfer. Well, I

272
00:22:45.440 --> 00:22:48.240
think it's kind of a lonely life. It's it's uh, you know,

273
00:22:48.319 --> 00:22:52.039
it's not if you're a single woman
trying to you know, get a date.

274
00:22:52.160 --> 00:22:59.599
It's not the easiest life to try
to meet guys. But because in

275
00:22:59.680 --> 00:23:02.359
season, where do you find time
out right? And you know, you're

276
00:23:02.359 --> 00:23:06.119
always working on it. And I
think anybody that's played this game knows how

277
00:23:06.119 --> 00:23:07.720
hard it is, and you're going
to I mean, if you have a

278
00:23:07.799 --> 00:23:15.119
really good year, you've won once
or maybe twice, or like or Jessica

279
00:23:15.240 --> 00:23:19.599
six or seven times. I mean
not Jessica Nelli Corda, but you're doing

280
00:23:19.640 --> 00:23:23.519
a lot of losing. And it's
you know, you keep putting the time

281
00:23:23.559 --> 00:23:26.880
in, you keep putting the work
in. You think, Okay, when's

282
00:23:26.920 --> 00:23:30.200
it going to turn around? And
for some it doesn't turn around. But

283
00:23:30.039 --> 00:23:37.519
it's just a process and sometimes it
works and sometimes it doesn't. Julie Ingster

284
00:23:37.720 --> 00:23:41.000
joining us a couple of minutes remaining
here on the huge show across Michigan.

285
00:23:41.039 --> 00:23:45.599
When you played Blifield, when you
look at the tournament this weekend, when

286
00:23:45.599 --> 00:23:48.920
you look at what's going on on
the tour so far this year, how

287
00:23:48.920 --> 00:23:52.039
does this course set up and who
does it favor? Well, I mean

288
00:23:52.079 --> 00:23:55.720
you look at the past history.
I mean you got to go low.

289
00:23:55.799 --> 00:23:59.279
I think twenty one under one of
last year. I think the greens are

290
00:23:59.319 --> 00:24:02.400
a little firmer this year. I'm
not sure they're going to go quite quite

291
00:24:02.559 --> 00:24:06.839
as low. You got to play
the par fives and you got to make

292
00:24:06.880 --> 00:24:10.680
some putts because a lot of these
holes you can. You can. If

293
00:24:10.680 --> 00:24:11.920
you drive it in the right spot, you're going to have a lot of

294
00:24:11.960 --> 00:24:17.680
opportunities to make birdies. So the
greens are perfect, so you're just going

295
00:24:17.759 --> 00:24:19.599
to have to get your line and
your speed right and make some puts.

296
00:24:21.240 --> 00:24:26.480
Julie Inkster is one seven Majors the
World Golf Hall of Fame. I'm trying

297
00:24:26.480 --> 00:24:30.000
to think of something you haven't done? Is there anything? Is there anything

298
00:24:30.119 --> 00:24:32.359
left on the golf course, Julie, where you're like, you know,

299
00:24:32.440 --> 00:24:36.240
I didn't do that. You know, I never wanted British Open and it

300
00:24:36.359 --> 00:24:40.240
kind of gnaws at me a little
bit. But well, the LPGA Tour

301
00:24:40.319 --> 00:24:44.680
though, doesn't play a lot of
British Open stuff courses where the men will

302
00:24:44.960 --> 00:24:47.720
hit some of those courses every once
in a while, like bandoned dudes for

303
00:24:47.759 --> 00:24:52.759
a PGA or US opening And our
major over there didn't start until the nineties,

304
00:24:52.799 --> 00:24:56.920
so or you know, so,
but still I had plenty of opportunities

305
00:24:56.960 --> 00:24:59.599
to win. And I love the
golf courses over there. I love the

306
00:24:59.640 --> 00:25:03.839
people. Well, I love how
it's a grind but never seem to put

307
00:25:03.839 --> 00:25:08.960
it together. But that's okay,
that's okay. Julie Inkster yesterday on the

308
00:25:10.039 --> 00:25:12.200
Huge Show. Really good stuff.
If you missed any of that, check

309
00:25:12.200 --> 00:25:15.720
out all their social media channels and
you'll be able to hear the entire interview.

310
00:25:15.759 --> 00:25:22.880
It was well done, very informative, very personal. Really enjoyed listening

311
00:25:22.880 --> 00:25:26.960
to that on the Huge Show yesterday
and Huge will be out here again later

312
00:25:26.039 --> 00:25:30.279
on today from three until six.
She did bring up a few things that

313
00:25:32.079 --> 00:25:33.519
caught my ear, and I'm sure
it caught yours as well. I just

314
00:25:34.240 --> 00:25:41.200
was inside the clubhouse a moment ago
and I ran into Lexi Thompson, who

315
00:25:41.240 --> 00:25:48.319
has won here before, by the
way, and she's absolutely right about the

316
00:25:48.400 --> 00:25:53.839
personality and the representation for the world
of golf by Lexi Thompson. She is.

317
00:25:56.000 --> 00:26:00.720
She's a stunning woman who is super
engaging, and you can tell why

318
00:26:00.759 --> 00:26:07.119
so many people believe and like her
and follow her because it's I think it's

319
00:26:07.160 --> 00:26:15.000
an underrated part of sports. In
a world and a day and age in

320
00:26:15.039 --> 00:26:22.640
which so many people are out for
themselves, can you be out for the

321
00:26:22.720 --> 00:26:30.000
overall good of what you're doing.
You could use the phrase team player.

322
00:26:30.279 --> 00:26:37.759
I suppose Lexi Thompson can be considered
a team player. A team player with

323
00:26:37.319 --> 00:26:42.200
the LPGA tour a team player with
an event like this the Meyer Classic.

324
00:26:44.440 --> 00:26:53.240
She represents all that you hope would
be part of your sport. Oftentimes I'll

325
00:26:53.319 --> 00:26:59.279
run into fans and they'll say,
what is filling the blank athletes name like

326
00:27:00.119 --> 00:27:06.240
and I have to hesitate sometimes depending
on the athlete, because one of the

327
00:27:06.240 --> 00:27:14.960
worst things to do is to spoil
a fans belief or a fans' perception of

328
00:27:15.000 --> 00:27:18.720
a certain athlete or coach. So
they may have an idea of just what

329
00:27:18.839 --> 00:27:23.559
a great person this athlete may be. You know, deep down inside,

330
00:27:23.640 --> 00:27:30.480
they're not necessarily that kind of person, so you don't want to spoil it

331
00:27:30.519 --> 00:27:34.319
for them. I've done that before. My sister once asked me about a

332
00:27:34.440 --> 00:27:41.160
specific player and I said, not
the person you want your son to emulate,

333
00:27:41.680 --> 00:27:47.519
and they were the look in her
eyes. She was almost heartbroken when

334
00:27:47.559 --> 00:27:51.359
I said it, because how much
she admired this player. You can admire

335
00:27:51.400 --> 00:27:56.240
them on the field of play,
whatever they do, but be careful when

336
00:27:56.279 --> 00:28:00.960
you want to emulate them in public. Lexi Thompson, you can do both

337
00:28:02.000 --> 00:28:06.200
with You can see her as an
athlete and say, man, I'd love

338
00:28:06.240 --> 00:28:08.000
to be able to play golf like
that. She represents the sport well so

339
00:28:08.039 --> 00:28:14.319
and so, but also as a
person, just a very down to earth

340
00:28:14.359 --> 00:28:18.759
person, And I thought that was
pretty interesting what Julie Inkster said. The

341
00:28:18.799 --> 00:28:22.599
other thing that I found interesting during
her interview with Bill Simonson on The Huge

342
00:28:22.599 --> 00:28:29.119
Show yesterday out here at the tenth
Annual Meyer Classic is the thing that eats

343
00:28:29.119 --> 00:28:36.160
at her is not having one a
British Open. So a person who has

344
00:28:36.279 --> 00:28:41.000
seven majors, is in the Hall
of Fame, has the second most wins

345
00:28:41.720 --> 00:28:47.880
on this tour and she's thinking about
the one thing she didn't get rather than

346
00:28:47.920 --> 00:28:53.960
all the things she did accomplish.
That tells you the mindset. The thing

347
00:28:55.000 --> 00:28:59.720
I marvel most about with athletes.
I don't care if it's a golfer,

348
00:28:59.720 --> 00:29:03.279
a ten and as player, hockey
player, basketball, baseball, football,

349
00:29:03.319 --> 00:29:10.759
whatever, driver. The thing that
I marvel most about is their competitiveness.

350
00:29:11.240 --> 00:29:14.319
So there's a couple of different things. You know, you have to be

351
00:29:14.400 --> 00:29:22.440
able to compartmentalize, and if you
can put that in a certain compartment in

352
00:29:22.480 --> 00:29:27.200
your brain of what you need to
do, that's part of the battle,

353
00:29:27.640 --> 00:29:38.160
right forgetting things and remembering things selectively. Forget you just had a bad shot

354
00:29:38.799 --> 00:29:45.920
on number two here at Blackfield Country
Club. Move on from getting a bogie,

355
00:29:45.400 --> 00:29:51.119
how do you respond on the next
hole. Forget that you just gave

356
00:29:51.200 --> 00:29:56.000
up a home run, Move on
to the next batter. Forget that you

357
00:29:56.119 --> 00:30:00.559
just got burned for a touchdown,
pass, get ready for the next play.

358
00:30:02.279 --> 00:30:06.400
Those are all Forget that you just
threw a interception. All those things

359
00:30:06.680 --> 00:30:12.440
play part of the success and eventually
for some why they can't get it done,

360
00:30:14.359 --> 00:30:18.559
maybe their failure as an athlete.
But it has to be high level.

361
00:30:19.359 --> 00:30:22.839
The skill is obvious, The talent
is there, we know that.

362
00:30:23.680 --> 00:30:27.119
But it's the thing between the brain, or the between the ears. It's

363
00:30:27.119 --> 00:30:32.000
in the brain that makes you go. That's where they might be as different

364
00:30:32.039 --> 00:30:34.480
as anybody else. Now, I'm
not suggesting that we can go out there

365
00:30:36.000 --> 00:30:41.279
as I watch them hit off the
range here at the tenth Annual Meyer Classic,

366
00:30:42.039 --> 00:30:45.599
thinking that my swings is good,
or I can hit it as far,

367
00:30:47.079 --> 00:30:51.599
or I might have one shot in
my bag that emulates that. I'm

368
00:30:51.640 --> 00:30:56.359
talking about what they're thinking, what
they're concentrating on, and how they're able

369
00:30:56.400 --> 00:31:03.279
to put the negativity behind them and
accentuate the positivity. What Julie Angster said

370
00:31:03.319 --> 00:31:07.319
is about, you know, looking
back on her career. Why she missed

371
00:31:07.799 --> 00:31:12.039
the British Open. Yeah, she
had some opportunities, but it still frustrates

372
00:31:12.039 --> 00:31:15.920
her to this day. She's going
to continue to live with that when she

373
00:31:15.960 --> 00:31:19.559
should be. I would think you
would hope you'd focus on all the positive

374
00:31:19.559 --> 00:31:25.079
things that you've done, the accomplishments
that you've had, the incredible accomplishments you've

375
00:31:25.079 --> 00:31:30.839
had, and the Hall of Fame
career you had, instead of concentrating on

376
00:31:30.920 --> 00:31:34.319
the other. The other is you
know with Lexi Thompson and she just walked

377
00:31:34.319 --> 00:31:37.000
by, she's getting ready to go
out on the putting green. She's only

378
00:31:37.039 --> 00:31:41.319
twenty nine, and there's some of
us out there who are probably going,

379
00:31:41.359 --> 00:31:44.279
you know what. Yeah, but
she's made enough money she doesn't have to

380
00:31:44.279 --> 00:31:52.079
worry about the thing. Yeah.
But the aspect of camaraderie, which oftentimes

381
00:31:52.359 --> 00:31:59.200
you don't find in golf because it's
such a singular sport. It's you against

382
00:31:59.240 --> 00:32:02.039
the course again, every individual.
If you want to count your caddy,

383
00:32:02.119 --> 00:32:07.680
I mean, go ahead. I
don't think that's necessarily true. I think

384
00:32:07.720 --> 00:32:10.640
it's all about the golfer because you're
the one swinging the club. You're the

385
00:32:10.640 --> 00:32:15.480
one deciding on which club to take
you're the one who's posting the score and

386
00:32:15.519 --> 00:32:21.599
all those things. Look at what
Joe Burrow just said. Did you guys

387
00:32:21.640 --> 00:32:24.960
see what happened with this? With
Joe Burrow? Joe Burrow's a hell of

388
00:32:24.960 --> 00:32:30.680
a player. Would you consider Joe
Burrow one of the best quarterbacks in the

389
00:32:30.799 --> 00:32:36.680
NFL? I would? I think
he's. I think he's a top five

390
00:32:36.680 --> 00:32:39.559
player when healthy. I know he
hasn't always been healthy, but when healthy,

391
00:32:39.599 --> 00:32:46.240
I think he's a top five player. He's been outspoken recently on the

392
00:32:46.279 --> 00:32:54.119
toll of mental health and the struggles
that sometimes he has, since it's something

393
00:32:54.599 --> 00:33:00.440
I have had to fight through.
Now, would you ever guess that about

394
00:33:00.599 --> 00:33:07.359
Joe Burrow? The same guy who
led arguably the greatest offense in college football

395
00:33:07.480 --> 00:33:15.000
history with LSU. The guy who
grabs the cigar in the clubhouse, or

396
00:33:15.200 --> 00:33:17.319
not in the clubhouse, but in
the locker room afterwards, lights it up

397
00:33:17.359 --> 00:33:21.960
after they win the national championship and
then the NC DOUBLEA. Like the idiots

398
00:33:22.000 --> 00:33:28.359
that they oftentimes are want to find
him and want to come down hard on

399
00:33:28.480 --> 00:33:34.039
LSU because he had a cigar in
the locker room after celebrating a national championship.

400
00:33:36.880 --> 00:33:38.319
But this is a guy who still
had to deal with it. He

401
00:33:38.400 --> 00:33:45.319
said, whenever the injuries start to
stack up, your football mortality kind of

402
00:33:45.359 --> 00:33:49.519
comes into the back of your mind. This is what he told the Cincinnati

403
00:33:49.559 --> 00:33:54.039
Inquirer. So that's definitely something I've
thought about and something I've had to fight

404
00:33:54.119 --> 00:34:02.240
through. Now. He's experienced a
lot of appointments in terms of injury,

405
00:34:02.680 --> 00:34:09.239
right grade three tier in the ACL, grade three tear in the PCL,

406
00:34:09.599 --> 00:34:15.559
torn meniscus, miss most of his
rookie season. He rehabbed in eleven days

407
00:34:15.880 --> 00:34:21.840
to start the twenty twenty one campaign. Then he had a dislocated pinky finger.

408
00:34:22.159 --> 00:34:25.880
He had a grade one knee streen
strain rather in January of twenty twenty

409
00:34:25.880 --> 00:34:31.800
two. He's had some thrilling moments, there's no doubt about that. But

410
00:34:32.079 --> 00:34:37.360
he's had a lot of injuries as
well. Suffered wrist injury while he was

411
00:34:37.400 --> 00:34:42.280
in college. So there's plenty of
things for him to think about. But

412
00:34:42.320 --> 00:34:45.840
he said, look, they stack
up, and you continue to think about

413
00:34:45.920 --> 00:34:49.320
how you can get better from those
and how you can come back as an

414
00:34:49.360 --> 00:34:52.039
improved player. Maybe you aren't getting
the reps you had because of your injuries.

415
00:34:52.280 --> 00:34:57.119
It's always a challenge. It always
will be, but I'm built for

416
00:34:57.159 --> 00:35:02.599
it, which is great. I
mean, that's fantastic perspective, right,

417
00:35:04.800 --> 00:35:10.280
But you think about your mortality and
the mind is a very very difficult thing

418
00:35:12.239 --> 00:35:17.519
oftentimes to try and figure out.
It can be very sensitive at times.

419
00:35:17.599 --> 00:35:24.280
Even the hardest nosed players can try
and almost overthink too much. I had

420
00:35:24.280 --> 00:35:30.039
a good conversation with somebody yesterday.
We were talking about baseball, and they

421
00:35:30.079 --> 00:35:36.159
asked me, do you think there
is Do you think there's too many numbers

422
00:35:36.599 --> 00:35:40.400
in baseball? And I said absolutely. And this comes back to the mind

423
00:35:40.719 --> 00:35:47.360
games that oftentimes athletes play with themselves. And I'm thinking to myself, Yeah,

424
00:35:47.480 --> 00:35:54.320
I think oftentimes paralysis by analysis takes
place, and I wonder if that

425
00:35:54.440 --> 00:35:59.880
takes place in golf too. Baseball, you're thinking about so many different things,

426
00:36:00.119 --> 00:36:02.920
right, swing path, where my
feed are, what's he going to

427
00:36:04.000 --> 00:36:07.199
throw, what the situation is,
I'm picking up the spin of the baseball.

428
00:36:07.239 --> 00:36:13.320
Those are just a few things that
oftentimes go through a baseball player's mind.

429
00:36:14.199 --> 00:36:19.559
Golf is the ultimate mental challenge.
You know, we're out here at

430
00:36:19.920 --> 00:36:23.199
the Meyer Classic and you're watching players
warm up and putt and everything, and

431
00:36:23.239 --> 00:36:28.119
that's all fine, But when you
get out there and you've got one hundred

432
00:36:28.119 --> 00:36:31.519
and eighty yards and the wind is
picking up and it starts to sprinkle just

433
00:36:31.559 --> 00:36:37.239
a little bit, and you know
the green has one of those big mountains

434
00:36:37.239 --> 00:36:39.559
in front of it, and you
got to hit it to the back of

435
00:36:39.639 --> 00:36:44.000
the green to make sure you're safe. And then you got a bunker on

436
00:36:44.000 --> 00:36:45.800
the left and you got water on
the right. There's so many things going

437
00:36:45.800 --> 00:36:51.119
through your head, but also your
swing path, you're set up, all

438
00:36:51.159 --> 00:36:54.559
the different things that a golfer has
to address. We think it comes so

439
00:36:54.719 --> 00:37:01.079
natural. But because it's such a
thinking person game, and for these ladies

440
00:37:01.119 --> 00:37:04.960
they're going to experience it here shortly
because they're going to tee off in about

441
00:37:04.960 --> 00:37:09.639
ten minutes or so, it is
one it can be numbing for any of

442
00:37:09.679 --> 00:37:15.559
them. So to be at this
level, be one hundred and forty four

443
00:37:15.599 --> 00:37:19.239
golfers out here today trying to compete
for this championship, one of the better

444
00:37:19.320 --> 00:37:24.719
championships on the LPGA Tour. It
takes not just great physical skill, but

445
00:37:24.960 --> 00:37:31.760
incredible mental fortitude as well. The
