WEBVTT 1 00:00:03.040 --> 00:00:08.720 It's time for Coffee and Company, fueled by Thornton's on Sports Talk seven nine 2 00:00:08.800 --> 00:00:31.079 day. Now here's Nick Coffee. All right, let's do this the five 3 00:00:31.120 --> 00:00:35.359 o'clock hour here on a draft day edition of Coffee and Company. The NBA 4 00:00:35.479 --> 00:00:40.359 Draft starts tonight. I gotta admit I look like a real fraud here claiming 5 00:00:40.399 --> 00:00:43.920 to be a big NBA draft guy, which I am. But if John 6 00:00:43.960 --> 00:00:46.560 did not tell me that the NBA Draft started tonight, I would have not 7 00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:50.520 known because it's always been a Thursday. It's been one night. And now 8 00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:54.719 they're doing it a little bit differently. They're gonna have the first round tonight 9 00:00:55.200 --> 00:01:00.719 and then they will have the second round tomorrow. So you know, if 10 00:01:00.759 --> 00:01:03.359 you didn't know, now you know. And I don't think this is going 11 00:01:03.400 --> 00:01:08.079 to happen, because it does sound like the buzz as far as the number 12 00:01:08.079 --> 00:01:15.959 one overall pick is growing more and more to be Zachary Risuschet. I think 13 00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:23.000 it's how you say that from France, and you know, all every mock 14 00:01:23.079 --> 00:01:25.560 draft I'm looking at in the last five to six minutes has him as the 15 00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:27.280 guy that's going to be number one and going to the Hawks. But there's 16 00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:30.519 at least a little bit of noise out there. Trulli Donovan put it out 17 00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:34.560 there on his discord that reach Shepherd could also potentially be I mean, they're 18 00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:36.319 not going to take two guys at number one, you can't do that, 19 00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:38.879 but that there's some belief that Reach Shepherd might go number one over him, 20 00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:44.480 which would be really crazy to think about. I mean, he's probably going 21 00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:47.319 to be a top three pick, and even that is still kind of crazy. 22 00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:53.439 Not to say that like it's unheard of, but Kentucky fans a year 23 00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:57.319 ago, and really not just Kentucky fans, but people who follow recruiting and 24 00:01:57.359 --> 00:02:02.840 follow college basketball. I mean, if you would have said that there's gonna 25 00:02:02.879 --> 00:02:08.360 be a guide drafted with the third pick from Kentucky, that's a guard that 26 00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:15.520 only played one season as a freshman, it would have been DJ Wagner, 27 00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:22.800 Rob Dillingham, and then a distant I mean, nobody would have guessed read 28 00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:24.520 it would have been it would have been Wagner Dillingham. And who's I feel 29 00:02:24.520 --> 00:02:28.520 like I'm missing somebody? Was there another guard they had? I mean obviously 30 00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:34.719 Reeves and he's great, but he wasn't He wasn't a freshman, So Sheppard. 31 00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:38.280 I mean, he's always been been an elite recruit. McDonald's all American. 32 00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:40.639 He had offers from just about everybody, but I think there was this 33 00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:45.879 belief that he's he's just really good, but not elite, not an NBA 34 00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:49.280 caliber player, but really good for a Kentucky kid and his dad played at 35 00:02:49.319 --> 00:02:52.639 Kentucky. And he'll probably make an impact, but it'll be in year two. 36 00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:55.159 Probably won't play a whole lot in year one because you know, we've 37 00:02:55.199 --> 00:03:00.800 got Reeves and Wagner and like there was another guard? Who am I missing? 38 00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:07.599 Do they only play three guards? Am I losing my mind? I 39 00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:12.879 wish I could confirm or deny. And by the way, how do you 40 00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:15.039 know when I when my mind goes blank? Your job is to is to 41 00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:20.000 is to know what I'm talking about, and I'm there sometimes times sometimes. 42 00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:28.639 So yeah, So they had hum Reeves, Shepherd, Wagner, and I 43 00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:30.960 guess that was I guess that was it. I guess that was it. 44 00:03:31.159 --> 00:03:36.120 Who came off the bench for him a guard? Uh? Those two? 45 00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:37.879 If you remember, I mean, well, I guess, yeah, that's 46 00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:43.080 true. So who were they starting? So Wagner started, Reeves started, 47 00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:51.080 and I guess they said Joey Hart on the bench who just you know, 48 00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:53.879 yeah, I mean the arrow is a guard kind of but not really. 49 00:03:54.639 --> 00:04:00.000 But yeah, either way, Dillingham, I mean just Edwards, he wasn't 50 00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:02.159 he's not a guard, but like, it's just crazy of all the guys, 51 00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:06.680 if you would have said a year ago today, how many you know, 52 00:04:06.759 --> 00:04:11.199 how many of these guys will be first round draft picks next year? 53 00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:15.120 I honestly think nobody would have said dilling him because you got to keep in 54 00:04:15.159 --> 00:04:18.120 mind he was a highly hyped guy, but he didn't really. I mean, 55 00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:21.639 he's six one hundred and seventy five pounds and he did not have a 56 00:04:21.639 --> 00:04:25.040 good showing when they went to Canada if you remember, I mean, he 57 00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:28.319 barely played. So if you'd just said, hey, there's going to be 58 00:04:29.519 --> 00:04:33.720 four first round draft picks for Kentucky next year in the twenty twenty four NBA 59 00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:36.040 draft, you said that a year ago, none of them would have picked 60 00:04:36.040 --> 00:04:40.560 Reach Shepherd, not a single one, not a Kentucky fan, probably not 61 00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:43.920 even anybody who just you know, was trying to project the draft. You 62 00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:46.959 certainly would have said Bradshaw, you would have said Wagner, you would have 63 00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:51.240 said Edwards, who in the eyes of some was like the number you know 64 00:04:51.439 --> 00:04:57.879 one player in that class. So it's such it feels so awkward to say, 65 00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:00.279 wow, like this is crazy because again Dreed Shepard was a five star 66 00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:05.519 player McDonald's All American, could pick any school, but he just didn't have 67 00:05:05.560 --> 00:05:09.439 the same level of hype those other guys had. And yet here he is 68 00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:13.839 potentially gonna be a top three pick some you know, who knows, maybe 69 00:05:13.879 --> 00:05:18.000 he goes number one. But despite this being a really weak draft, I'm 70 00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:23.160 still going to be locked in because I love the NBA Draft and I'm hopeful 71 00:05:23.160 --> 00:05:27.160 that you know, Louisville has some representation in the NBA Draft once again down 72 00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:30.120 the road here, but I don't really think, I mean, that's gonna 73 00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:36.000 be if you've got NBA talent. Clearly that's gonna help you. You're better 74 00:05:36.079 --> 00:05:42.160 off when you have NBA talent. But I'm just curious with the portal now 75 00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:46.439 changing everything about college basketball. You don't have to be young unless you want 76 00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:48.720 to be young, and most coaches don't want to be young. And guys 77 00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:54.399 that don't play or don't have NBA upside, they stay around in college longer 78 00:05:54.399 --> 00:05:57.399 because they can make good money, make make more money playing college ball at 79 00:05:57.639 --> 00:06:00.639 a high level school than they could play at a high level lee in Europe. 80 00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:02.319 So, you know, let's just look back at the you know, 81 00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:10.079 the final college basketball rankings in twenty twenty four. Yukon obviously number one, 82 00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:12.360 and they have they've they've got guys that are going to be taken in the 83 00:06:12.439 --> 00:06:15.160 draft tonight. Stefan Castle probably gonna be a lottery pick. Clinging same thing. 84 00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:18.360 Is that his name, Clingon or Donovan Clinton? Yeah? Yeah, 85 00:06:18.360 --> 00:06:23.160 So Purdue they got Zach Edie. He'll you know, and I still think 86 00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:27.480 he's gonna be one of the most intriguing players in this draft. Alabama, 87 00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:31.480 I mean, I've not seen anybody on the Alabama anybody from Alabama and the 88 00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:35.839 mock drafts Houston, same thing, Tennessee at Dalton, connect Illinois, Terrence 89 00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:39.759 Shannon. But their other great player came back to school. Now he's going 90 00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:43.600 to Kansas State. That's Coleman Hawkins. Uh North Carolina number seven, Iowa 91 00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:46.839 State number eight, Duke number nine, NC State number ten. So that's 92 00:06:46.839 --> 00:06:48.199 how the final which, by the way, that's stupid that NC State ends 93 00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:50.199 up at number ten. I know they made the final four, but they 94 00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:57.759 sucked during the season. But I think you're gonna see every year when you 95 00:06:57.800 --> 00:07:00.000 get to the end of the season, if you go back and look at 96 00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:02.920 at not just the teams that made the farthest run, like Final four, 97 00:07:03.519 --> 00:07:09.000 but just the teams that had the best year, I think it'll be rare 98 00:07:09.079 --> 00:07:14.600 for them to have guys that are viewed as potential lottery picks because you just 99 00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:18.519 build your teams differently. Now. I mean, in the Final four, 100 00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:25.839 you had Alabama, NC State, Yukon, and Purdue. Right, I'd 101 00:07:25.839 --> 00:07:31.439 be willing to bet this Final four probably had less NBA draft picks than we've 102 00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:35.560 had in a long time. That's just a guess. The reason I bring 103 00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:38.560 this up is because I just don't think that's going to change. Right, 104 00:07:38.560 --> 00:07:42.879 Like, if Pat Kelsey's gonna go out there every year and build the best 105 00:07:42.959 --> 00:07:46.360 roster he can, you're going to continue to be using the portal, and 106 00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:51.480 you're going to be using it not as extensively as you did this past year, 107 00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:55.639 where you literally built I mean the team he just built. Let's be 108 00:07:55.759 --> 00:07:58.199 real, all transfers, every single one of them outside of one, I 109 00:07:58.240 --> 00:08:01.839 should say, so all but one where are transfers. So let's say, 110 00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:09.120 in I don't know, three years, you are building a team with three 111 00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:16.800 freshmen that are in coming. You've got six five to six guys that are 112 00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:24.120 back that are not transferring and they're returning, and then you have that would 113 00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:26.959 give you nine. Right, so you have four transfers from the portal. 114 00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:30.920 Well, if they're transferring from the portal, there's a good chance that it's 115 00:08:30.959 --> 00:08:33.480 probably because they're not looked at as to be NBA guys, at least not 116 00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:37.360 yet. So your best chance at having somebody go proud would be a one 117 00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:41.320 and done kind of guy maybe, and one and done guys this day and 118 00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:45.120 age, like, they don't really impact the game that much in a major 119 00:08:45.159 --> 00:08:48.919 way because there's a lot more old dudes playing the game now. So maybe 120 00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:52.919 your best bet would be somebody who came back, and that's possible, But 121 00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:54.600 I just I don't know. I feel like the NBA draft moving forward, 122 00:08:56.440 --> 00:09:01.240 it's not going to feature, especially like on Night one, a bunch of 123 00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:05.519 dudes who you watched in the tournament just being absolute ballers. I mean, 124 00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:09.320 Zach Edy was an exception. He stayed in college for four years and he's 125 00:09:09.399 --> 00:09:11.960 rare. Right, there's a reason Zach Edy stayed in college that long despite 126 00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:16.480 winning National Player of the Year two times consecutively. I mean it's because he's 127 00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:20.720 not believed to be a guy that translates well on the NBA. And if 128 00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:22.480 this draft wasn't a weak, maybe he wouldn't be considered a guy that would 129 00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:24.799 be potentially a top twenty pick. But I would take him. I think 130 00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:28.240 Zach Edy I talked about it than three o'clock hour. I would take Zach 131 00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:31.799 Edy in his draft in the top twenty and just live with the fact that 132 00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:35.639 he's you know, his style is a little different. In fact, it's 133 00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:37.639 a lot different than most guys that are at the center position in the NBA. 134 00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:43.919 Regardless of style, he's a weapon. He's humongous, he's good, 135 00:09:45.240 --> 00:09:48.440 and you know, you have to worry about, you know, him stepping 136 00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:54.120 out and guarding the current typical big guy in the NBA. I mean, 137 00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:56.919 even guys like you know, Joelle Embiid stepping away knocking down threes, and 138 00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:01.279 that could be a real mismatch problem for some like Zach Edy. But he 139 00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:03.919 still has value in my opinion, and I wouldn't be shocked if he plays 140 00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:07.200 in the league ten years. He's not you know, He's not Taco Fall. 141 00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:11.840 He's a guy who has skill, has size, knows how to play, 142 00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:15.840 has a motor. So I'm kind of pulling for him a little bit 143 00:10:15.879 --> 00:10:18.120 here. I don't care about Purdue, and I don't really care about Zach 144 00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:20.919 Edy, but you know, he's clearly been doubted for a long time as 145 00:10:20.919 --> 00:10:24.600 a pro, and I think he can play. I think I think he'll 146 00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:28.679 play in the league for a while, but we shall see, all right. 147 00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:31.919 Something else we discussed earlier that I think is awesome is that the TBT. 148 00:10:33.240 --> 00:10:35.960 The Louisville bracket was unveiled today. I think they did Lexington yesterday. 149 00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:39.399 Maybe they're doing it tomorrow. I'm not sure, but both Louisville and Kentucky 150 00:10:39.480 --> 00:10:43.519 have teams and are hosting in the TBT. So Louisville their first game in 151 00:10:43.559 --> 00:10:48.639 the TBT is going to be on Saturday, July the twentieth, at two 152 00:10:48.720 --> 00:10:50.919 pm. They're going to take on a Bellerman team. They're called United, 153 00:10:52.679 --> 00:10:54.440 and they have a lot of guys. I mean, in fact, I'm 154 00:10:54.440 --> 00:10:58.240 familiar with just about everybody on their roster because it's guys who played at Bellerman 155 00:10:58.279 --> 00:11:01.279 somewhat recently. Are guys who played at Bellerman a while ago, like back 156 00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:03.320 when Russ and Peyton were playing, So you know, who knows what happens 157 00:11:03.320 --> 00:11:05.279 in that game, but Louisville should be I mean, I think there's a 158 00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:09.399 reason Louisville was given the two seed and Bellerman's team was given the seventh seed. 159 00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:13.279 So after that, Louisville will play another team, which I can't think 160 00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:15.960 of it is right now. I don't have the bracket in front of me, 161 00:11:16.039 --> 00:11:20.559 but they've wisely set it up to where if Louisville can get out of 162 00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:24.759 their region and in Kentucky can get out of their region in Lexington, they 163 00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:28.600 will match up with each other, which would be great Kentucky. Of course, 164 00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:33.039 they are called lot Familia, Louisville is the Ville, and they could 165 00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:35.120 play in the quarterfinals. So for the first time in TVT history, they're 166 00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:43.799 gonna give home court advantage to the team who sells the most tickets. Really 167 00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:46.519 well done on their part, and it's gonna help them sell tickets. Trust 168 00:11:46.519 --> 00:11:50.519 me, Like, that's a really, really a savvy move. And I 169 00:11:50.519 --> 00:11:52.480 don't know who's going to end up selling more tickets. I think, you 170 00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:58.000 know, Louisville has a little bit more eagerness to, you know, watch 171 00:11:58.039 --> 00:12:01.080 these guys play, because spend a long time since Louisvell's had some good basketball 172 00:12:01.080 --> 00:12:03.080 to watch. And I know this is not U of L, but let's 173 00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:07.120 you know, it's it's close. It's a bunch of dudes who played at 174 00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:09.080 u of L and were great when they were here, at least a lot 175 00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:13.080 of them were. But I did I did mention this earlier that the Kentucky 176 00:12:13.159 --> 00:12:18.720 roster lot familiar. They're a lot better than than I than I realized. 177 00:12:18.759 --> 00:12:24.240 I don't know how great of shape these guys are in currently, but the 178 00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:26.840 leader of this team, the guy who really put it together, who's also 179 00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:30.720 playing as Eric Bledsoe. But they also have Deron Lamb, Daniel Ort and 180 00:12:30.799 --> 00:12:35.960 James Young Reed, Travis Nate Cstina Marcus t Kellen Grady, and Willie Carley 181 00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:39.919 Stein. So that's a that's a good team. Now. I don't know 182 00:12:39.960 --> 00:12:43.559 who's in their region as far as how tough it's going to be to get 183 00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:48.600 out of it, but I do we get that matchup because as much as 184 00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:52.919 we know this is not like I mean, this is not a real game 185 00:12:52.960 --> 00:12:58.720 between Louisville and Kentucky, let's not act like we won't whoever wins brag about 186 00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:01.799 winning like bragging rights are on the line. I feel like for everything in 187 00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:07.000 this rivalry because that's how much we care about the rivalry. Obviously, you're 188 00:13:07.000 --> 00:13:09.879 gonna feel a little better about beating Louisville or beating Kentucky when it's basketball or 189 00:13:09.919 --> 00:13:13.200 football, but anything else, it's still something you'll if you win. Even 190 00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:16.480 if you don't care that much about that sport, You're gonna feel good if 191 00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:18.480 you beat your rival because that's just how rivalries work. So if we do 192 00:13:18.559 --> 00:13:26.159 get these two teams in a quarterfinal matchup, I'd be highly shocked if both 193 00:13:26.159 --> 00:13:30.480 Pat Kelsey and Mark Pope aren't front and center for that game, right, 194 00:13:30.519 --> 00:13:35.000 I mean, that would be awesome. And Kelsey's gonna be there regardless. 195 00:13:35.039 --> 00:13:37.039 And you know, he's a hype man, a showman himself. We learned 196 00:13:37.039 --> 00:13:41.279 that the day we were introduced to him, and it just I think it'll 197 00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:46.000 continue to keep the good vibes going here for Louisville basketball since he arrived and 198 00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:48.879 he hadn't coached a game yet, we know that, and only time will 199 00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:52.080 tell as far as how successful he is. But so far, so good, 200 00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:58.080 and I you know, I think this event specifically is a chance for 201 00:13:58.159 --> 00:14:01.480 him to kind of even further that good vibe feeling that a lot of us 202 00:14:01.480 --> 00:14:07.720 have right now. All right, So we also played the sound from the 203 00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:13.840 Texas A and M coach who bolted to go to Texas the day after he 204 00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:16.840 lost in the national championship game to Tennessee in the College World Series. And 205 00:14:16.919 --> 00:14:20.360 he did apologize, but then kind of, you know, like didn't really. 206 00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:24.519 I mean, I wouldn't call it a half ass apology because he did 207 00:14:24.519 --> 00:14:26.639 say sorry, but I guess more than anything, it was like a half 208 00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:31.559 ass excuse as far as you know, why he did what he did. 209 00:14:31.960 --> 00:14:35.559 And there's now more allegations out there about this guy that kind of makes them 210 00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:39.639 look like a slimbag if I'm being honest with you. But here is here's 211 00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:43.720 what he had to say when asked about the Texas opening right after he had 212 00:14:43.759 --> 00:14:48.559 lost in the College World Series just two nights ago to Tennessee. He was 213 00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:52.360 bothered by the question, Coach, with respect of the difficult outcome tonight, 214 00:14:52.440 --> 00:14:56.960 but with the rumors circulating today about a specific job opening, what you have 215 00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:01.919 to say about your future in Aggie Land? Yeah, I mean, I 216 00:15:01.960 --> 00:15:05.519 think it's pretty selfish of you to ask me that question. To be honest 217 00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:11.919 with you, but I left my family to be the coach at Texas A 218 00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:15.039 and M. I took the job at Texas A and M to never take 219 00:15:15.080 --> 00:15:20.600 another job again, and that hasn't changed in my mind. That's unfair to 220 00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:24.960 talk about something like that. That'd be like you asking Montgomery if he's going 221 00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:28.039 to sign in the draft. But I understand you got to ask the question. 222 00:15:28.600 --> 00:15:31.440 But I gave up a big part of my life to come take this 223 00:15:31.519 --> 00:15:33.120 job. And I've poured every ounce of my soul in this job. And 224 00:15:33.159 --> 00:15:37.879 I've given this job every single ounce I can possibly give it. Write that 225 00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:43.799 the right that I don't get like it's against him trying to be my Gundy. 226 00:15:43.919 --> 00:15:50.120 But it's another it's another seemingly, it's another attempt, it seems like 227 00:15:50.279 --> 00:15:54.600 to really make it clear that you're not leaving. I mean, I left 228 00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:58.799 my family. I took this job so I could I would never take another 229 00:15:58.919 --> 00:16:04.320 job again. And I don't know. I mean, I just that go 230 00:16:04.320 --> 00:16:08.720 has a piece of work to go from that to then the next day taking 231 00:16:08.759 --> 00:16:14.000 the job. But he did apologize today, and here's what it sounded like, 232 00:16:14.519 --> 00:16:18.120 because again, you know, I do think him apologizing is at least 233 00:16:18.159 --> 00:16:22.360 worth something. But you know, I guess he wasn't ever. There's no 234 00:16:22.399 --> 00:16:25.639 world he was ever going to come out and say he lied, but he 235 00:16:25.720 --> 00:16:30.279 did lie. When the game ended, I want to publicly apologize to Richard 236 00:16:30.360 --> 00:16:33.279 Zaye from Techsaggs. He's a young reporter. He asked the question. That 237 00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:40.080 was an obvious question. I wish I could have answered that better, but 238 00:16:40.559 --> 00:16:44.399 in the moment, all you know, thirty minutes after the last pitch, 239 00:16:45.000 --> 00:16:48.879 all I could think about was our players, and I really wasn't in the 240 00:16:48.879 --> 00:16:52.600 mood to talk about myself for the future. So I apologize for that to 241 00:16:52.679 --> 00:16:57.639 Richard. By the way, Richard Zayne, why are you not going by 242 00:16:57.679 --> 00:17:02.879 Dick Zane? Come on? Dick Zane is a badass name, is it 243 00:17:02.919 --> 00:17:07.400 not? It is, but it could be used against you. How I 244 00:17:07.480 --> 00:17:10.319 dare you to use that against me? Dick Zane is a dick name, 245 00:17:10.519 --> 00:17:14.839 Dick Zane is electric, Dick Zane's cutting his own yard, Dick Zane is 246 00:17:14.880 --> 00:17:18.480 doing whatever the hell Dick Zane wants to do. It's Dick Zane's world. 247 00:17:18.480 --> 00:17:22.680 Baby. You could you could you could be Dick Zane go third person and 248 00:17:22.759 --> 00:17:26.559 say that, and nobody would really bad master. I know you hate that 249 00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:30.680 movie or don't like it, at least in terms of Adam Sandler's catalog. 250 00:17:30.920 --> 00:17:33.400 I'm not sure you've ever heard me say I don't like that movie. You 251 00:17:33.440 --> 00:17:34.720 made fun of me for putting it picking it in my draft last year, 252 00:17:34.720 --> 00:17:37.599 which because it's probably not a good pick. Yeah, I mean there's a 253 00:17:37.599 --> 00:17:41.880 lot, there's a lot better Sandler. But I mean, so do you 254 00:17:41.920 --> 00:17:44.839 like the Soohank. It's a stupid funny movie. Like I'll put it up 255 00:17:44.880 --> 00:17:47.480 there. It's not as good. But another movie that, like, you 256 00:17:47.519 --> 00:17:52.160 know, like Little Nikky. Little Nikky is a Sandler movie that I that 257 00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:56.400 I can't claim is a great motion picture, but you know it's stupid funny 258 00:17:56.440 --> 00:18:00.359 and and stupid funny with Sandler always it always works for me. But yeah, 259 00:18:00.839 --> 00:18:07.039 shout out dig Zane. But anyways, he was lying when he talked 260 00:18:07.279 --> 00:18:11.000 to the media on Tuesday night by saying that he took the job to never 261 00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:14.680 take another job. But I guess you could do that and then have a 262 00:18:14.759 --> 00:18:17.160 change of heart. But then right there, you know, he said he 263 00:18:17.200 --> 00:18:19.200 didn't want to talk about his future and he didn't, you know. But 264 00:18:19.839 --> 00:18:27.880 now there are players that have come out and accused him of recruiting players to 265 00:18:27.920 --> 00:18:33.880 Texas while still coaching for Texas A and M. Which I can't give you 266 00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:37.319 some fake surprise like that because I guess I'm not really that surprised by it. 267 00:18:37.400 --> 00:18:41.119 But it just, you know, this guy seems like a real piece 268 00:18:41.160 --> 00:18:44.839 of work. But this is from a baseball player, I guess. Let 269 00:18:44.880 --> 00:18:48.519 me see this. This tweet is where this came from. And this is 270 00:18:48.519 --> 00:18:52.759 from somebody who played for Texas A and M. And he says more will 271 00:18:52.759 --> 00:18:56.799 come out, but recruiting kids to Texas from burner phones while playing in the 272 00:18:56.880 --> 00:19:03.400 National championship game is an all time greasy move. Kind of agree, kind 273 00:19:03.400 --> 00:19:04.559 of agree. But here's what's crazy. What if he would have won? 274 00:19:06.319 --> 00:19:07.839 And I was thinking the same thing when we played this, he would have 275 00:19:08.039 --> 00:19:11.640 still, right show? Would he have? Would he have stayed? I 276 00:19:11.680 --> 00:19:15.680 don't I still think he would have left. I mean, still it was 277 00:19:15.680 --> 00:19:18.319 already done. Maybe he would have been in line for more money had he 278 00:19:18.359 --> 00:19:21.759 won the entire I mean, what's it matter though they lost by one run? 279 00:19:21.839 --> 00:19:23.839 Yeah, and you know I thought about the money thing as well. 280 00:19:25.240 --> 00:19:27.000 But it's Texas A and M. They've got money, that's true. I 281 00:19:27.039 --> 00:19:29.640 don't think it was about money. I think it was him wanting to go 282 00:19:29.680 --> 00:19:32.319 to Texas. Now. Both these schools, I mean have money, They 283 00:19:32.400 --> 00:19:36.839 got money to burn and and I'm sure they can pay whatever. But yeah, 284 00:19:36.960 --> 00:19:40.079 not a not a good look for this guy. And again, if 285 00:19:40.119 --> 00:19:44.960 he would have just said, you know, I understand why you're asking that 286 00:19:45.039 --> 00:19:48.200 question. I get it. I have respect for what you guys do, 287 00:19:48.319 --> 00:19:51.400 but I don't want to go there today. I'm not even thinking about anything 288 00:19:51.400 --> 00:19:53.200 other than these players in that locker room, in the great run that we 289 00:19:53.319 --> 00:19:56.640 had. And uh, you know, I'm still the coach here at Texas 290 00:19:56.680 --> 00:20:00.920 A and M. And that's all I'm focused on right now. You could 291 00:20:00.920 --> 00:20:03.599 have said that, and it would have just been one of the many canned 292 00:20:03.640 --> 00:20:06.839 answers that coaches have given us about those kind of situations. Before, it 293 00:20:06.839 --> 00:20:10.480 wouldn't have been controversial. You may have found some people saying, you know, 294 00:20:10.640 --> 00:20:12.680 he's chick and he didn't answer, but that kind of became the new 295 00:20:12.720 --> 00:20:17.640 norm coaches have since I think kind of learned how to deal with that without 296 00:20:17.640 --> 00:20:19.799 really giving an answer, and people can kind of take with it whatever they 297 00:20:19.920 --> 00:20:25.759 choose to take. But he didn't. He went full on insulting the guy 298 00:20:25.880 --> 00:20:29.160 for even asking the question, while then also acknowledging he understand it why I 299 00:20:29.200 --> 00:20:32.240 asked the question, which is very odd, and he made this a national 300 00:20:32.240 --> 00:20:37.720 story. If he'd answered it the way I just mentioned, the only people 301 00:20:37.720 --> 00:20:40.400 that would have been upset about this and even talking about it would be Texas 302 00:20:40.400 --> 00:20:44.279 A and m fans. But now it's a national story because he he had 303 00:20:44.279 --> 00:20:47.559 a goof. He had a goof. All right, let's take a quick 304 00:20:47.559 --> 00:20:49.359 break. We'll come back on the other side. You guys heard the poop 305 00:20:49.440 --> 00:20:56.079 story in Paris the Olympics. I swear I had to Google it and go 306 00:20:56.119 --> 00:21:00.920 to like page two of the Google searches to fully believe this was real because 307 00:21:00.920 --> 00:21:03.440 it looks like something you'd see in the onion. But it's not. And 308 00:21:03.480 --> 00:21:07.400 it's another reminder that the Olympics do, in fact give us some good content 309 00:21:07.440 --> 00:21:08.559 every now and then. So we'll get to that talk a little more. 310 00:21:08.640 --> 00:21:12.599 NBA Draft get to the text line, so don't go anywhere. It's coffee 311 00:21:12.640 --> 00:21:15.880 and company, and we are fueled bout Thorton's right here. On Sports Talk 312 00:21:15.880 --> 00:21:22.279 seven ninety so with it being draft night, John Calipari making his rounds, 313 00:21:22.319 --> 00:21:26.279 we played the clip earlier. He was on with Pat McAfee and said that 314 00:21:26.319 --> 00:21:30.200 seventy percent of the players that he's recruited in the last fifteen years have been 315 00:21:30.279 --> 00:21:37.359 drafted. Seventy three of those seventy percent have gotten second contracts, which is 316 00:21:37.400 --> 00:21:41.920 pretty insane. In fact, it's just unbelievable. Thirty percent of the max 317 00:21:41.960 --> 00:21:48.079 contracts in the NBA are guys that came to Kentucky to play for him, 318 00:21:48.640 --> 00:21:51.799 and those guys have earned over five billion dollars without endorsements. That's what he 319 00:21:51.920 --> 00:21:56.119 shared on Pat McAfee. And of course that clip has gotten I mean, 320 00:21:56.200 --> 00:21:59.799 just in the last two hours, it's got over nearly half a million views 321 00:22:00.599 --> 00:22:03.599 because it's just a reminder this dude has put a lot of guys in the 322 00:22:03.720 --> 00:22:07.960 NBA. However, however, there are some saying that that's not true. 323 00:22:08.160 --> 00:22:11.880 He like he needs to be fact checked, like the number is way too 324 00:22:11.960 --> 00:22:15.519 high, which I believe that, and I think Cal has oftentimes thrown stuff 325 00:22:15.519 --> 00:22:19.000 out and just hoping. I mean, he says things that everybody knows for 326 00:22:19.039 --> 00:22:25.559 sure is not true and it's just Cal being cal. But I actually think 327 00:22:26.000 --> 00:22:30.559 with the way it ended at Kentucky, and maybe this is why he's energized, 328 00:22:30.559 --> 00:22:40.359 But the way it ended at Kentucky, I think Cali Perry is motivated 329 00:22:38.799 --> 00:22:45.680 to win more than he has in a long time, because I mean at 330 00:22:45.759 --> 00:22:51.279 Kentucky he never lost because of lack of talent. But when they lost to 331 00:22:51.400 --> 00:22:55.799 Oakland, I feel like the national narrative about Cal, it didn't you know, 332 00:22:55.799 --> 00:22:57.359 it didn't. I guess it did change, but people were always making 333 00:22:57.359 --> 00:23:00.640 fun of him for doing less with like that. That's been a part of 334 00:23:00.640 --> 00:23:04.920 the Cal brand nationally for a long time. But you know, to lose 335 00:23:04.920 --> 00:23:08.240 to Saint Peter's in Oakland twice in three years, and then you know, 336 00:23:08.559 --> 00:23:12.519 have some other losses mixed in there against bad teams, Like I think now 337 00:23:12.599 --> 00:23:15.599 when Cal gets to the point where he's bragging about guys in the NBA, 338 00:23:15.759 --> 00:23:19.839 he's put so many guys in the NBA that are so successful, it's almost 339 00:23:19.880 --> 00:23:23.880 inevitable that it's gonna be used against him because people are gonna say, how 340 00:23:23.920 --> 00:23:26.960 the hell did you not win more? You know what I mean? Let 341 00:23:26.000 --> 00:23:29.680 me sens John like I think the more he started, I mean against draft 342 00:23:29.680 --> 00:23:32.480 A so he's gonna keep doing it. But I think unless he starts actually 343 00:23:33.319 --> 00:23:37.519 winning big when it matters in college basketball, even if he still still is 344 00:23:37.559 --> 00:23:40.400 putting guys in the NBA, he'll continue to get guys that want to come 345 00:23:40.400 --> 00:23:41.799 play for him because they want to go to the NBA. But I feel 346 00:23:41.799 --> 00:23:45.200 like that's going to turn into a brag that backfires to where people are just 347 00:23:45.240 --> 00:23:48.640 gonna be like, damn. That really speaks to how badly you can't coach 348 00:23:49.200 --> 00:23:52.000 you can recruit though. Yeah, and people have said that a lot, 349 00:23:52.200 --> 00:23:56.640 especially I mean, maybe not a ton of Indiana fans, but that's always 350 00:23:56.680 --> 00:24:00.599 been the argument from Indiana fans who were jealous at Kentucky was that he can 351 00:24:00.640 --> 00:24:03.119 never coach. He could just bring in whoever he wanted to because he was 352 00:24:03.160 --> 00:24:07.640 col Yeah, and I mean, you know there is jealousy there, trust 353 00:24:07.720 --> 00:24:10.119 me. There's a ton of players that ended up at Kentucky that were great 354 00:24:10.119 --> 00:24:15.359 that everybody wanted Louisville fans, Indianna fans and whatnot. But college basketball is 355 00:24:15.400 --> 00:24:18.279 different, man, Like, none of that matters if you don't win big. 356 00:24:19.519 --> 00:24:23.160 I mean it matters to the players. Putting guys in the NBA can 357 00:24:23.200 --> 00:24:26.519 help you get more guys to come and play for you that are NBA caliber 358 00:24:26.680 --> 00:24:30.799 players. But I just, you know, I'm looking at all the responses 359 00:24:30.839 --> 00:24:33.839 to that clip that I played earlier, that was on Twitter, and it's 360 00:24:33.920 --> 00:24:37.480 just it's not Kentucky fans. It's it's just college basketball fans, you know, 361 00:24:37.599 --> 00:24:42.279 Rando's on Twitter that are like, damn, how's this guy not been 362 00:24:42.319 --> 00:24:47.160 to the second weekend in five years? How's this guy not been to a 363 00:24:47.200 --> 00:24:51.759 final four and ten years? I mean, and that's valid, Like those 364 00:24:51.759 --> 00:24:56.119 are things. I mean, those are real numbers. But this is crazy. 365 00:24:56.839 --> 00:25:02.160 Rick Betino when he won his title in ninety six at Kentucky, that 366 00:25:02.200 --> 00:25:06.359 team had nine NBA players on it. Not all that went at the same 367 00:25:06.400 --> 00:25:10.680 time, but that team had nine guys that became NBA players. Some left 368 00:25:10.720 --> 00:25:12.599 that year, some came back and played in ninety seven, some came back 369 00:25:12.599 --> 00:25:15.240 and played in ninety eight on that championship two I believe. I think Jeff 370 00:25:15.279 --> 00:25:19.960 Shepherd won two titles there because of that, And that's one of the best 371 00:25:21.000 --> 00:25:23.759 runs I've ever seen as far as teams that had elite players. I mean, 372 00:25:23.759 --> 00:25:26.039 again, I was a kid and I knew I hated Kentucky and I 373 00:25:26.039 --> 00:25:30.240 love Louisville because I knew early on that's how this works as a Louisville fan. 374 00:25:30.839 --> 00:25:33.519 But I was in awe of those teams that Rick had in the nineties. 375 00:25:33.559 --> 00:25:37.319 I mean, just unbelievable teams with insane talent and they won big. 376 00:25:37.559 --> 00:25:41.880 So Rick had nine NBA players on that title team. Caliperry had three different 377 00:25:41.880 --> 00:25:48.880 teams at Kentucky, one that had as much or more than that nine on 378 00:25:48.880 --> 00:25:53.039 one team ten on one. He had eleven NBA players on one of his 379 00:25:53.079 --> 00:25:57.400 teams at Kentucky, and all three of those teams did not win a title. 380 00:26:00.440 --> 00:26:07.000 I mean, that'll be a random, unbelievable, what the hell fact 381 00:26:07.079 --> 00:26:10.839 slash stat that when you mentioned it to somebody, if you ever find yourself 382 00:26:11.079 --> 00:26:12.720 needing to mention it to somebody, that you'll say, there's no way that 383 00:26:12.759 --> 00:26:15.680 can be true. But if you go back and look at it, I 384 00:26:15.720 --> 00:26:18.960 mean and look all those guys that I'm mentioning or that I'm that were, 385 00:26:18.960 --> 00:26:21.799 you know, that make up to be the team with nine, ten and 386 00:26:21.839 --> 00:26:25.160 eleven NBA players. Not all those guys were great. Hell a lot of 387 00:26:25.160 --> 00:26:29.720 them didn't last, but they still were NBA guys, which Let's be honest, 388 00:26:30.680 --> 00:26:33.079 there are dudes who play. I mean, like, even if you 389 00:26:33.480 --> 00:26:37.519 even just making it an NBA for a cup of coffee is not an easy 390 00:26:37.519 --> 00:26:38.799 thing to do. It's not It doesn't happen that often, right, I 391 00:26:38.839 --> 00:26:45.920 mean Louisville's two thousand and thirteen National Championship team, excuse me, I mean 392 00:26:45.960 --> 00:26:53.480 there are on that team three guys four that that you know even had a 393 00:26:53.480 --> 00:27:00.720 cup of coffee in the NBA. Trez obviously had a long career in the 394 00:27:00.759 --> 00:27:03.920 NBA, and hopefully he gets back to the league after he helps Louisville win 395 00:27:03.960 --> 00:27:07.640 the TVT fingers crossed Peyton was drafted, played a couple of years, and 396 00:27:07.640 --> 00:27:11.279 then he went G League and ended up playing overseas for a while. Russ 397 00:27:11.279 --> 00:27:17.359 same thing, honestly, and then Gorgy Gorky had had a good run in 398 00:27:17.400 --> 00:27:22.039 the NBA just recently retired. So I mean, just eleven NBA players on 399 00:27:22.039 --> 00:27:26.559 one team, unbelievable. And that team, I don't think that was even 400 00:27:26.559 --> 00:27:32.000 the championship team. I'm sorry, I don't even it clearly wasn't a title 401 00:27:32.000 --> 00:27:33.599 team, but they had a team that played in the National Championship Game. 402 00:27:34.880 --> 00:27:38.279 Gosh, that's crazy. So the twenty fifteen that would have to be that 403 00:27:38.279 --> 00:27:42.680 team, right, Yes, that he that had that many It was not 404 00:27:42.839 --> 00:27:45.480 the Twins as well, yeah yeah, yeah, and they played in the 405 00:27:45.559 --> 00:27:48.640 NBA, I mean not long but yeah yeah. If you look at the 406 00:27:48.720 --> 00:27:53.359 Kentucky roster, I mean, all right, here, let's see start with 407 00:27:55.000 --> 00:28:00.240 Harrison Towns Booker, the other Harrison, Willie Cauley, Stein, Treyli who 408 00:28:00.279 --> 00:28:03.039 still plays in the league. Dakari Johnson was a first round draft pick. 409 00:28:03.440 --> 00:28:10.319 Tyler Eulis was a first round draft pick. Poithrus. I don't know if 410 00:28:10.359 --> 00:28:15.599 he played in the NBA, so maybe it wasn't that team. In fact, 411 00:28:15.680 --> 00:28:19.559 this is random as hell, but I think the twenty seventeen team Monk 412 00:28:19.680 --> 00:28:26.960 Fox, Bam Brisco Winning Gabriel, I mean, he's I think he's still 413 00:28:26.960 --> 00:28:33.680 in the league. Michael Molder, he played in the NBA. Maybe wasn't 414 00:28:33.720 --> 00:28:37.960 that team anyways. Uh, I'm gonna have to fact check that, but 415 00:28:38.400 --> 00:28:45.039 it came from somebody on Twitter that responded to that Goodman tweet. Who covers 416 00:28:45.079 --> 00:28:48.680 the NBA draft for one of these outlets. But here I am thinking like 417 00:28:48.720 --> 00:28:53.440 maybe that's maybe there's no way that that that's true. But I believe it, 418 00:28:53.480 --> 00:28:57.039 but eleven of your thirteen scholarship guys, I don't know. Maybe that's 419 00:28:57.079 --> 00:29:00.920 not true. Either way, the point remains the same. The more he 420 00:29:02.000 --> 00:29:07.119 brags about all the NBA players that he's put in the league without him actually 421 00:29:07.200 --> 00:29:10.279 having great success in college, it's going to have people just saying, oh 422 00:29:10.319 --> 00:29:12.279 cool, you can recruit, you can sell, but man, that's all 423 00:29:12.319 --> 00:29:15.519 you are. You can't coach, which I'm not saying he can't coach, 424 00:29:15.559 --> 00:29:18.039 and he's allows he coach, but clearly, like it's hard to defend him 425 00:29:18.039 --> 00:29:22.680 as like a great coach given the fact that some of the most talented teams 426 00:29:22.720 --> 00:29:26.640 that we've seen in college underwhelmed. I mean, just looking at the two 427 00:29:26.640 --> 00:29:30.680 teams he had that lost to Oakland and Saint Peter's, I mean, that's 428 00:29:33.119 --> 00:29:36.400 that doesn't make you look like a good coach, that's for sure. All 429 00:29:36.480 --> 00:29:42.960 Right, So this story is insane, but it's true. There was a 430 00:29:44.039 --> 00:29:48.720 poop protest that was expected to happen earlier this week in Paris, but they 431 00:29:48.920 --> 00:29:53.799 ended up postponing the poop protest. So I'm gonna read here from Complex dot 432 00:29:53.799 --> 00:29:57.200 Com, a defiant act of timely defecation is poised to give a voice to 433 00:29:57.240 --> 00:30:02.160 the frustrated, to the fresh straded ahead of the twenty twenty four Summer Olympics. 434 00:30:02.200 --> 00:30:06.880 So CBS News, I feel like it's been covering this for for quite 435 00:30:06.880 --> 00:30:08.359 some time, and it's and it just recently, I think became like a 436 00:30:08.359 --> 00:30:12.039 well known thing most people are laughing about. But the Cyane River is the 437 00:30:12.079 --> 00:30:18.279 location for the Paris Olympic. I guess, you know, protest that's been 438 00:30:18.319 --> 00:30:23.279 planned. So there's been extensive rain in that area, and earlier this month, 439 00:30:23.319 --> 00:30:27.519 an elevated level of E Coli had been detected in the river, all 440 00:30:27.559 --> 00:30:30.440 while you know, the Olympics served just less than a couple of months away. 441 00:30:30.519 --> 00:30:36.720 So apparently there's been a bunch of money invested in cleaning up the dirty 442 00:30:36.799 --> 00:30:41.119 river, and it doesn't look like there's been any really good progress, Like 443 00:30:41.160 --> 00:30:49.720 it still looks disgusting and filthy. So this past Sunday was originally set to 444 00:30:49.720 --> 00:30:56.279 be the day to see Paris the mayor of Paris and Hidalgo actually doing what 445 00:30:56.319 --> 00:31:00.319 everybody else had claimed they were going to do, which is, you know, 446 00:31:02.039 --> 00:31:07.559 jumping the river and I guess take a dump. I mean from what 447 00:31:07.680 --> 00:31:10.039 I saw, and this may be incorrect, but I don't think it is. 448 00:31:10.200 --> 00:31:14.839 They had like squatty potties set up on the river bank where you could 449 00:31:14.839 --> 00:31:18.240 sit down on something that looked like a toilet, but it would empty out 450 00:31:18.319 --> 00:31:22.799 into the river. Okay, that makes it a little easier to do if 451 00:31:22.839 --> 00:31:23.519 you're going to do it, I guess. I don't think they were just 452 00:31:23.599 --> 00:31:26.440 jumping in the river, pulling their pants down and letting them rip. So 453 00:31:26.519 --> 00:31:32.440 this says that there was a threat from from people from Paris to poop in 454 00:31:32.480 --> 00:31:36.519 the river in a protest because they're angry at the expense of cleaning up the 455 00:31:36.599 --> 00:31:45.640 river. And there was a hashtag that is in fringe and I can't I'm 456 00:31:45.640 --> 00:31:49.519 not if I cursed in a different language. Is at an FCC violation where 457 00:31:49.519 --> 00:31:52.920 we have to dump it? We're not going to risk it. But what 458 00:31:53.240 --> 00:32:00.960 it translates to in English is I in the sign on twenty third of June, 459 00:32:01.640 --> 00:32:07.279 so it's supposed to be the day that it happened. And I how 460 00:32:07.279 --> 00:32:09.880 does this even turn into like, yeah, we'll show them we're gonna poop 461 00:32:09.920 --> 00:32:15.599 in the river like that just seems to be a very very It seems like 462 00:32:15.640 --> 00:32:21.160 an overreaction. I would say, but yeah, they're frustrated at the money 463 00:32:21.319 --> 00:32:27.640 that the country put into cleaning up this river while other social issues have been 464 00:32:27.720 --> 00:32:30.119 neglected. That's that's the root of it. So it's already dirty as it 465 00:32:30.200 --> 00:32:34.839 is they put and I guess they look at it as a big waste considering 466 00:32:35.440 --> 00:32:39.880 it still isn't clean. So I guess to poop in the river it would 467 00:32:39.920 --> 00:32:44.240 be basically like, yeah, good thing, you spent and wasted all that 468 00:32:44.279 --> 00:32:46.400 money and then it didn't even work. It's already dirty, so we might 469 00:32:46.400 --> 00:32:49.839 as well just all take dumps in the river. I mean, is that 470 00:32:49.960 --> 00:32:52.880 is that it's still to retell you? It still sounds stupid? Is that 471 00:32:53.119 --> 00:32:57.720 you don't you don't even accomplish anything. They're not get a protest, But 472 00:32:57.799 --> 00:33:00.160 what exactly are you trying to get out of it? They've already spent your 473 00:33:00.200 --> 00:33:04.799 money, Yeah, I mean, and it's going I mean, like, 474 00:33:05.480 --> 00:33:08.960 I don't know. Wouldn't you want people to have an enjoyable experience in your 475 00:33:09.000 --> 00:33:13.640 country if you're hosting the Olympics. Imagine if I mean I probably shouldn't say 476 00:33:13.680 --> 00:33:15.759 this, but imagine if they did that here with the Ohio. Oh god, 477 00:33:16.440 --> 00:33:21.519 I mean, I don't go near the Ohio River, John, at 478 00:33:21.599 --> 00:33:23.039 least not you know down here, there's parts of the Ohio River that, 479 00:33:23.119 --> 00:33:25.640 you know, I'm not gonna say it's clean, but it almost looks reminds 480 00:33:25.640 --> 00:33:30.200 you of like the being just a standard lake. Right. Supposedly there's a 481 00:33:30.279 --> 00:33:34.640 prop octopus somewhere at the bottom of the Ohio River. I read that a 482 00:33:34.720 --> 00:33:37.759 very long time ago. I don't remember that octopus, like a movie prop 483 00:33:37.839 --> 00:33:43.160 octopus from some movie that got thrown in the end of the Ohio River after 484 00:33:43.200 --> 00:33:45.839 the movie or whatever it was it was in Now that now, that would 485 00:33:45.880 --> 00:33:51.240 be fun, yes, to just have somebody go down there and look and 486 00:33:51.279 --> 00:33:53.359 see what the hell is at the bottom of the Ohio River. Imagine finding 487 00:33:53.559 --> 00:33:57.160 something like that and no, no, dude, you're down there. You'd 488 00:33:57.160 --> 00:33:59.839 find a ton of stuff down there. You'd find dead bodies down there. 489 00:34:00.920 --> 00:34:04.960 I mean, I never thought about that, like, wonder what is in 490 00:34:05.000 --> 00:34:08.639 the bottom of what's Yeah, and some gross stuff. But yeah, I 491 00:34:08.639 --> 00:34:12.760 hope the Olympics gives us some entertainment. I don't I'm not a big Olympics 492 00:34:12.760 --> 00:34:15.719 guy. There's often times every it seems like every time the Olympics roll around 493 00:34:15.719 --> 00:34:20.320 every four years, there's at least the one sport and it's not necessarily even 494 00:34:20.320 --> 00:34:22.480 a new sport, but it'll really catch on and people will be really into 495 00:34:22.519 --> 00:34:25.119 it and like, you know, hey, this was on and more often 496 00:34:25.159 --> 00:34:29.039 I'd watch it and maybe they're telling the truth, but you know, we'll 497 00:34:29.039 --> 00:34:30.000 never know, because here in America, we like what we like.

Right, I remember, was it who 505 00:34:57.800 --> 00:35:01.639 was it Kuiper who said that that Brian bram is going to be better than 506 00:35:01.679 --> 00:35:06.360 Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay?

Give him a call FIB two five nine twenty eight hundred. 525 00:36:09.159 --> 00:36:14.920 Again it is Edlin and Elin. All Right, So the the NBA Draft 526 00:36:15.440 --> 00:36:20.719 is tonight, and uh, there are not as many like all time memorable 527 00:36:21.039 --> 00:36:23.119 moments from the NBA Draft as there is the NFL Draft, at least not 528 00:36:23.239 --> 00:36:28.519 in my opinion. Uh, and I'm glad this one still has some life. 529 00:36:28.639 --> 00:36:34.519 This was I think three years ago now, and it's I mean, 530 00:36:34.599 --> 00:36:37.239 it's it's a classic. And that is when Kendrick Perkins, who was on 531 00:36:37.320 --> 00:36:44.840 the ESPN draft coverage, really really had a tough time saying this draft picks 532 00:36:44.960 --> 00:36:46.760 name, which isn't even a tough name to say. Two of the best 533 00:36:46.840 --> 00:36:50.679 to ever do it. When you look at Modi Mosy, Modi move, 534 00:36:51.079 --> 00:36:55.280 Mody moving Modi Moses, Modi move Moses, Moses's Moody what he did to 535 00:36:55.440 --> 00:37:00.639 Holly Moses Moody of Arkansas. Uh, that's not that tough to say, 536 00:37:00.760 --> 00:37:02.400 is it. I Mean, sometimes you just get stumbling that. I mean, 537 00:37:02.840 --> 00:37:06.199 this, two of the best ever do it. When you look at 538 00:37:06.239 --> 00:37:09.800 Modi Movie, Modi move, Mody moving, Mody, Mosing, Modi move 539 00:37:09.960 --> 00:37:15.639 Moses Mosy Moody. College in mind, rarely do you have somebody have to 540 00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:19.880 step in and help you, you know what I mean. The wheels were 541 00:37:20.159 --> 00:37:22.760 like if whoever was with him on the desk didn't step in and say Moses 542 00:37:22.840 --> 00:37:27.119 Moody, he probably still three years later be sitting there, move Mody moves, 543 00:37:27.239 --> 00:37:32.159 mose Mo moozy. And then Seth Greenberger, who I already think is 544 00:37:32.480 --> 00:37:37.360 is a is a boob? Is he part of Is he actually even a 545 00:37:37.360 --> 00:37:40.320 part of the NBA draft coverage anymore? I'm sure he is, but I 546 00:37:40.400 --> 00:37:45.199 can't stand the guy. But he had an old time bad take even at 547 00:37:45.239 --> 00:37:50.000 the time that has since aged very very poorly. And that is what he 548 00:37:50.119 --> 00:37:54.719 said about Mobomba, who, by the way, Mobamba was a big time 549 00:37:54.800 --> 00:37:59.360 recruit, went to Texas and let's be real, wasn't really good there at 550 00:37:59.360 --> 00:38:02.039 an the NBA. I mean, he's been an absolute I mean, he's 551 00:38:02.079 --> 00:38:10.159 been in the NBA for gosh seven five six years now, and he's he's 552 00:38:10.280 --> 00:38:13.880 I mean, he's lucky to still be in the league after being taken sixth 553 00:38:13.920 --> 00:38:17.440 overall. He's played for four teams now, and let's just say, Seth 554 00:38:17.480 --> 00:38:22.800 Greenberg was very very much wrong about Mobamba's upside. This is what he had 555 00:38:22.840 --> 00:38:25.840 to say about him prior to him being drafted that night. I think he's 556 00:38:25.920 --> 00:38:35.280 a hybrid between Anthony Davis joelbe what. But that's somebody who videoed their TV 557 00:38:36.159 --> 00:38:40.000 and added that reaction, which I agree with the reaction. He's in hybrid 558 00:38:40.119 --> 00:38:46.480 mixture of Anthony Davis and Joel Embiide. And he just recently wrapped up his 559 00:38:47.000 --> 00:38:54.480 sixth season in the NBA. Uh and he played an average of thirteen minutes 560 00:38:54.519 --> 00:39:00.400 a game, averaging four points and four rebounds. So yeah, swinging a 561 00:39:00.440 --> 00:39:07.039 miss, say it happens, it happens. I still think that the all 562 00:39:07.239 --> 00:39:15.599 time NBA draft bust is Anthony hard Forgot. Yeah, Anthony Bennett. Who 563 00:39:15.440 --> 00:39:20.760 I mean, I just don't think it's possible for anybody to surpass that. 564 00:39:20.920 --> 00:39:27.639 This is a guy who was taken number one overall by Cleveland, and I 565 00:39:27.719 --> 00:39:30.119 mean, I'm not I don't think he plays professionally anymore. And this is 566 00:39:30.159 --> 00:39:36.199 the guy who is the number one pick in the league and was completely out 567 00:39:36.239 --> 00:39:39.639 of the league in two years. I mean that's unheard of. That's hard 568 00:39:39.719 --> 00:39:45.480 to do, to be honest with you. So I mean I think he 569 00:39:46.840 --> 00:39:50.079 hey, yeah, he no longer played. I don't know if he's retired, 570 00:39:50.079 --> 00:39:52.400 but he's not currently playing anymore. But I think the reason it doesn't 571 00:39:52.400 --> 00:39:55.119 get mentioned as much, like everybody brings up Greg Oden, But I don't 572 00:39:55.159 --> 00:39:59.519 think you're a bust if it's injury related, because it doesn't mean you can't 573 00:39:59.559 --> 00:40:02.320 play. This dude was healthy and could not play. Also, right after 574 00:40:02.400 --> 00:40:06.239 that is when Lebron went back to Cleveland and like it's just a forgotten thing 575 00:40:06.360 --> 00:40:08.920 because of how quickly Cleveland, like Cleveland never really had to pay for that 576 00:40:09.000 --> 00:40:14.199 terrible pick, if you know what I mean. So happy NBA Draft night, 577 00:40:14.239 --> 00:40:17.280 everybody. We'll be back tomorrow to talk more about it and talk about 578 00:40:17.320 --> 00:40:21.159 a lot more. So join us right here. Have a good night,
