This is I 5 00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:27.280 on the Ball, Breaking News on Fox Sports fourteen fifty. All right, 6 00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:31.719 We're gonna start with something a little bit local. University of Arizona football yesterday 7 00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:38.079 announced that they signed sixteen transfers. Today they added another one. Former Colgate 8 00:00:38.119 --> 00:00:43.520 defensive back Owen Goss has announced that he has committed to the Wildcats. He 9 00:00:43.560 --> 00:00:47.439 has one season of eligibility remaining. What are the guys we didn't talk about 10 00:00:47.479 --> 00:00:51.759 yesterday? I think it happened yesterday or or over in the last period. 11 00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:56.520 Was the kid who went from New Mexico to here to Mississippi to come back 12 00:00:56.840 --> 00:00:59.759 named to Ja Corey something or other. Yeah, Bill, I guess this 13 00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:03.359 is his his nickname, which is another a nice, nice little ad add 14 00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:07.920 subtract to add again to the running situation. Yeah, they, I mean 15 00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:11.480 they they loaded up and running back and wide receiver on the defense of an 16 00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:15.719 offensive lines. You know it's it's gonna be interesting. Look at again, 17 00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:19.239 this is the way it is. And you know, people freak out when 18 00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:21.879 guys leave, but you know, guys leave from all the different schools and 19 00:01:21.879 --> 00:01:23.680 now of a sudden, you know, guys you know are coming back, 20 00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:26.959 not coming back, but you know they're filling the holes. And that's just 21 00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:29.879 the way. You know, the turnover is just going to be like that. 22 00:01:29.959 --> 00:01:32.959 And we keep saying that, and everybody's just got to get used to 23 00:01:32.959 --> 00:01:34.799 it. You know, they they people lose their minds when these people leave 24 00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:38.599 from Tommy Lloyd's program. Well, Tommy Loid, he's got to go out 25 00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:41.959 and get guys right. And the thing that Tommy Lloyd did best was he 26 00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:45.280 got three guys that went into the NBA Draft and got him got them all 27 00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:48.400 to come back. So the same thing with football. Guys are gonna leave 28 00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:49.879 and guys are gonna you know, come and go. They got a couple 29 00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:53.760 of Polynesian players, you know, to kind of add to that pipeline that 30 00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:57.799 they're really doing a nice job of establishing. The recruiting looks similar to what 31 00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:01.040 Jed Fish was doing right, right, And we're gonna have Brennan on next 32 00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:05.799 week at some time to talk about what's going on. Yeah, but you 33 00:02:05.799 --> 00:02:08.080 know that's that's just the way it is. And you you line them up 34 00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:12.960 and uh, you know, in the fall and see what happens. I'm 35 00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:15.520 very excited for football to come back. Yeah, I you know, I 36 00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:19.800 was. I was. I was talking to my wife this morning, believe 37 00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:23.039 it or not. We're out for a walk and we were having the chat 38 00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:28.639 and I was saying, you know what with baseball ending, you know, 39 00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:32.120 softball's over. It's like, okay, now we're in the Big twelve. 40 00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:35.560 Yeah, right, we're in the Big twelve. We're not We're not in 41 00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:38.800 the Pac twelve anymore. We're not hanging on you're not wrap. We're in 42 00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:40.199 the Big twelve. We've got to start talking about the Big twelve. Now. 43 00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:44.360 Okay, So well I'm curious. Does she look at you like I 44 00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:46.439 look at you like, what the hell you talking about? Yeah?

That that's actually I'm 47 00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:01.680 making fun. That's actual, not true. She's very interested in she's a 48 00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:05.280 big fan. He's a big fan. You know, of course, she 49 00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:07.439 you know, she likes Mokie bets more than she likes me. But that's 50 00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:12.080 another story for another I think a lot of Dodgers do. She's like, 51 00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:15.479 look your bets and uh. And Justin Turner, who's no longer he's actually 52 00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:21.240 in Toronto blee Jay now he's now a Blue j He was a Red Sox 53 00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:25.639 last year and he's now with the Blue Jays. He's on my fantasy team, 54 00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:32.599 which means he's hurt. Yeah, accurate. That's about right. All 55 00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:37.680 right, move on. I was staying on topic of college football. Just 56 00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:42.439 news just broke, probably about an hour ago. The n CUA a okays 57 00:03:42.479 --> 00:03:46.599 on field sponsor logos for the regular season football games. This kind of goes 58 00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:53.240 back to the the case of House versus the n c A settlement. Just 59 00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:58.680 an opportunity. You gotta go to the couch cushions and get fine places to 60 00:03:58.759 --> 00:04:00.840 make money. Let me ask you, in your heart of hearts. So 61 00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:05.199 we were in twenty twenty four, this would have been taboo. Your two 62 00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:10.759 thousand naming rights in that football stadium. I think you know, I think 63 00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:13.639 they almost have no choice. I think you got to name the football Sam. 64 00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:15.879 I think you got a named Michael, and I don't know if they 65 00:04:15.920 --> 00:04:19.279 will, but I think you have to. You know, you know, 66 00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:25.120 you can get millions of dollars out of that. The question is who who? 67 00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:28.959 Who? Right? You know, is it is it local? You 68 00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:32.319 know? Issues Arenas was called Wells Fargo Arena for you know a lot of 69 00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:35.079 years. Yeah, you know, you know, do you go to Bank 70 00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:40.319 of America? Do you go to P and C? You know a bank? 71 00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:42.639 You know, remember there was a time that there was gonna be they 72 00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:46.680 were gonna put Casino Del Soul or Desert Diamond on the field, and people 73 00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:49.160 lost their minds over that. You know, are you are you the draft? 74 00:04:49.560 --> 00:04:53.839 You know draft kings. I want to go there, you know Draft 75 00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:59.000 Kings at McHale Center or something. I want to go there after the breaking 76 00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:01.680 news that type of discussion. Yeah, once you finished. But you know, 77 00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:05.279 I don't think they have a choice. People. People will lose their 78 00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:09.360 minds. But you've got to go get money from someone, no question, 79 00:05:09.639 --> 00:05:15.120 no question. Switching over to the NBA, ex NBA player Delonte West was 80 00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:20.079 arrested on two misdemeanor charges. He was arrested in Virginia early Thursday morning, 81 00:05:21.040 --> 00:05:29.800 forty years old. But what do you do? Let's see violating the conditions 82 00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:31.560 of his release and resisting arrest. Yeah, he's been in trouble for a 83 00:05:31.560 --> 00:05:34.240 long time. Uh, he's got a lot of issues from the past. 84 00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:38.680 And I think he plays for Dallas and he's got a lot of trouble from 85 00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:44.000 there too. Yeah. He's older guy, he's in the years old. 86 00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:49.160 This is not his It doesn't need when you're that age and you're getting you 87 00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:51.439 know, into that, it's kind of like it's a long haul for you. 88 00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:59.160 Yeah. Well, so this news just broke on uspn uh Nate Diaz 89 00:05:59.439 --> 00:06:05.720 and think for a the news conference erupted in the into a brawl. No, 90 00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:13.120 really, was that a boxing you thank you you go to If a 91 00:06:13.199 --> 00:06:15.800 brawl doesn't break up, then it's then it's a boring news conference, exactly 92 00:06:16.040 --> 00:06:25.680 exactly. I'm shocked there's no video veteran, I'm not a big US you 93 00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:31.240 know, tickets to Steven. Steve's a big, big UFC boxing guy. 94 00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:35.319 I've never I mean I watched one couple of years ago. I mean it 95 00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:40.519 was that like Buffalo Wow Wings. But I've never understood paying for it because 96 00:06:40.959 --> 00:06:43.839 it can end like in oh sure, but you got a lot of endings. 97 00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:46.319 You have a lot of beatings, beatings. You know, you get 98 00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:48.639 five or six beatings for you freed the price of your chicken wings. I 99 00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:50.839 mean, I guess you're not. You're not paying for just that one by 100 00:06:50.839 --> 00:06:56.639 your You're paying for all the all the blood. And it was I mean, 101 00:06:56.639 --> 00:06:59.360 it was interesting to watch it. Yeah, it's it's it's cool. 102 00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:01.879 It's a night of you know, hanging out with the people. That's all 103 00:07:01.879 --> 00:07:05.000 I have today. Okay, so, uh, there's plenty more stuff, 104 00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:08.959 but let me go here because it's been in the news a lot lately. 105 00:07:10.399 --> 00:07:15.759 Uh. So we just said, iron the Ball Bechale Center. We'll go 106 00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:19.160 put me here right exactly. So, Jay, So, a lot of 107 00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:25.800 people, a lot of people players are getting uh in trouble because they're gambling, 108 00:07:26.199 --> 00:07:30.120 uh in house baseball blah blah blah. So you have the they're in 109 00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:35.160 house to draft kings in the in the or or whoever is in the building. 110 00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:42.160 Is that is that part of the problem. But a lot of people 111 00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:46.480 are saying they're taking money as sponsorships with now they're in house and they're you 112 00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:51.480 know, the call is coming coming from inside their house. I get that, 113 00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:55.120 That's why I ask you. But a lot of even even back in 114 00:07:55.160 --> 00:07:58.240 the day, and we talked about this with when Cedric was the n C 115 00:07:58.319 --> 00:08:01.079 Doua a chairman and after him and all that, they wanted to take the 116 00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:05.480 lines out of the newspapers, right because they would trust And of course it 117 00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:09.959 made no sense, right because that was the least of the problems. It's 118 00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:13.959 it's very simple, Okay, yes they you know, draft kings and you 119 00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:16.639 know and whatever, all these batting sites are being you know, they're they're 120 00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:24.480 they're part of the fabric of sports now, whether it's college or the pros. 121 00:08:24.839 --> 00:08:28.079 That's a part of it. So what you can still have rules that 122 00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:31.320 say we we do this, we endorse this. But if you're going to 123 00:08:31.320 --> 00:08:35.200 be a Major League baseball player, you can't partake in Sure, the NFL 124 00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:39.799 too, right whatever, you know, if you're an athlete, you can't 125 00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:43.919 partake it. There should be no problem with it. Now it's your problem, 126 00:08:45.320 --> 00:08:48.840 you know, you you the player. Sure, it's your problem if 127 00:08:48.879 --> 00:08:54.039 you can't abide by those rules, is the way I see it, you 128 00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:56.679 know, And so I don't think it's part of the problem. There's always 129 00:08:56.720 --> 00:09:00.759 been this, you know, there's always been the ability to gam you know, 130 00:09:01.399 --> 00:09:05.000 I think the fact that it's now more in the open is actually better 131 00:09:05.559 --> 00:09:07.919 than what it used to be, because look true, you know what, 132 00:09:09.399 --> 00:09:16.720 what I'm suggesting is that these guys were getting caught. They're getting caught before 133 00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:20.600 when it was all underground, I'm guessing there were a lot of guys gambling. 134 00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:24.840 They didn't just start gambling when DraftKings came around. It's what I'm saying, 135 00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:28.559 they've been gambling with bookies. We just don't know it because they didn't 136 00:09:28.559 --> 00:09:31.679 get caught because it wasn't so easy to find out. It's easy to find 137 00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:35.799 out now, and that's better. You just talked to the nineteen eighteen Red 138 00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:41.279 Sox or Black Suck or Yeah, we're talking one hundred years ago that these 139 00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:43.919 guys were gambling, and it's probably more prevalent than because they didn't make any 140 00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:48.639 money. So to me, it's not that, oh, guys are suddenly 141 00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:52.919 gambling. They're not suddenly gambling. They've always been gambling, you know, 142 00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:56.840 Pete Rose, You know, I mean, they've always been gambling. We 143 00:09:56.000 --> 00:10:00.360 just didn't know it because they weren't getting caught because it was so under ground. 144 00:10:00.679 --> 00:10:03.679 Now they're getting caught because it's out in the open and it's easy to 145 00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:05.320 get caught, you know. And I'll tell you what, there's probably still 146 00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:11.240 guys gambling with bookies. There's still bookies around. You know, you're dumb 147 00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:13.240 if you're if you're gambling with a bookie, because now you know, I 148 00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:16.960 mean maybe and maybe you know you live in California. You can't gamble online, 149 00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:20.480 so maybe there's bookies in California. Yeah. Well, if you're if 150 00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:22.840 you're in Arizona, got a bookie, you're you're kind of stupid, right 151 00:10:22.879 --> 00:10:26.399 there you go, he's interpreter. We just pleaded guilty and all that stuff. 152 00:10:26.559 --> 00:10:31.759 So I don't think I mean, okay, so the candy is there 153 00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:35.440 and it's getting waved in front of you, doesn't mean you have to take 154 00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:37.879 it. Yeah, it's temptation versus reality or whatever, right, you know. 155 00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:41.559 To me, it's guys that To me, it's just it's just dumb. 156 00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:43.720 Yeah. Well, when you're making millions of dollars, Yeah, why 157 00:10:43.840 --> 00:10:48.080 why why would you know? Why would you risk your You're you know that 158 00:10:48.120 --> 00:10:50.200 guy who who there's no answer, who lost his seven hundred and forty thousand 159 00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:56.559 dollars UH annual salary because he made a ninety nine dollars bet? What are 160 00:10:56.559 --> 00:10:58.600 you doing? Yeah, well we have a guy who's been on our show 161 00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:03.399 and we think the world of them. So Stanley Barryhill, what are you 162 00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:07.960 doing it? You know, risk reward dude, you know that's all a 163 00:11:07.960 --> 00:11:09.960 part of it. You know, what do you do? Why would you 164 00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:13.240 do that? Just don't you know, go gamble on something else, you 165 00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:16.200 know, go go bet the horses if you've got a gambling niche and you 166 00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:20.639 got money to money to blow, you know, but just don't you know, 167 00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:24.320 what are you doing to me? It's a matter of just a lack 168 00:11:24.360 --> 00:11:28.919 of intelligence or or as in some cases, some guys just think they're above 169 00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:31.039 the rules. They said, well, I'm a Major League Baseball where I 170 00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:35.480 can do whatever I want, and I think that I think that's some of 171 00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:37.440 it, because there are some there are some athletes who think that the rules, 172 00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:41.320 you know, not that not just athletes, you know, people who 173 00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:43.159 are in prominent places, either make a lot of money or whatever, who 174 00:11:43.159 --> 00:11:46.279 think rules don't apply to them. You know, we have a former president 175 00:11:46.320 --> 00:11:50.559 who thinks rules don't apply to him. So it's you know, it's that 176 00:11:50.960 --> 00:11:56.159 it's not that it's available, it's just that, you know, some of 177 00:11:56.200 --> 00:11:58.120 these people just think I don't have to buy by the rules of rules for 178 00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:01.600 other people who don't have what I have. Okay, well, speaking about 179 00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:07.759 gambling, the Belmont is here on Friday. On Saturday, I'm sorry afternoon. 180 00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:11.559 We'll have a regular girl d on tomorrow. I haven't looked at it. 181 00:12:11.559 --> 00:12:13.240 It's what I think, I know what I want. I never did 182 00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:16.360 send her a note that she helped me pick a winner for well, you 183 00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:20.080 can tell her tomorrow. I will tell her marrow thank her on the air. 184 00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:24.000 Yeah. Yeah, I'm gonna use that to go with the belt. 185 00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:26.720 Seize the great Seize, the great goes goes, I think again on Saturday, 186 00:12:28.559 --> 00:12:31.200 so we'll see what happens there. Yeah, okay, nothing else, 187 00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:35.159 Senor, I can't. I got breaking these the Dodgers up for his zip. 188 00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:41.360 That that's Brooke hard breaking heart. It's only the bodom of the second 189 00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:43.960 need to get The Pirates are beating him too, in a row. They 190 00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:48.960 beat him one zip. Goze Gonzales, Nick Zales. Yeah, we hadn't 191 00:12:48.960 --> 00:12:54.000 mentioned that nicko zas the Tucson kid he went to. We had him on 192 00:12:54.039 --> 00:12:58.320 the show. I think so he's somewhere on the side that his dad had 193 00:12:58.360 --> 00:13:01.679 his dad. I'm sorry, Yeah, I think you he went to high 194 00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:03.200 school. He's been up. He's been up in the majors for a while, 195 00:13:03.240 --> 00:13:07.519 which I didn't know. I only noticed him on Tuesday when I saw 196 00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:11.559 him, uh batting against the Dodgers and then he had a dog. He 197 00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:15.639 had a two rb I double yesterday when they when they beat down the Dodgers 198 00:13:15.879 --> 00:13:18.679 yesterday. So but yeah, good for him because we we've talked, We've 199 00:13:18.679 --> 00:13:20.919 asked about him a couple times. You know, how's he doing? And 200 00:13:20.960 --> 00:13:26.360 he wasn't doing that well. He's a shortstop. He's playing shortstop for for 201 00:13:26.440 --> 00:13:31.200 the priorates, not second base. I thought Cruise was playing short he was. 202 00:13:31.240 --> 00:13:35.279 He played shortstop yesterday and all ill type. He's in the lineup today 203 00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:39.039 because uh I am watching the game. I do have the game on. 204 00:13:39.799 --> 00:13:43.120 But uh, you know I I I thought he was a second baseman. 205 00:13:43.440 --> 00:13:46.279 Yeah by trade, I think he is. But they maybe something happened, 206 00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:50.960 uh injury wise. Let's see, is he in the lineup today? He 207 00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:56.639 is? He's oh today he's playing second base. Uh so yeah, I 208 00:13:56.679 --> 00:14:01.399 mean he's he's uh oh, he's batting as we speak. Okay, he's 209 00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:03.080 just come. He's just coming to he's just coming up to bat again. 210 00:14:03.159 --> 00:14:09.679 They're down for Sif he's batting three ten, three homers, twenty RBIs he's 211 00:14:09.720 --> 00:14:13.759 doing really well. I hope he has of eight fifty five and he's just 212 00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:16.360 flying to center field. So he's out. Get out of here, go 213 00:14:16.440 --> 00:14:22.720 sit down.

Hey, 288 00:19:30.839 --> 00:19:34.400 welcome back to my the ballka Fox Sports fourteen fifty. I'm Steve Rivera. 289 00:19:34.519 --> 00:19:38.160 He's Jacobs aus. Now on the phone. We have Sean McNeil, the 290 00:19:38.279 --> 00:19:42.759 manager of the Tucson Suarrows. How you doing, coach, I'm on, 291 00:19:42.960 --> 00:19:47.519 well, guys, we're doing well. I'm curious because I thought I knew 292 00:19:47.559 --> 00:19:52.960 this. How many years have you been the manager. I've been the manager 293 00:19:52.559 --> 00:19:57.440 Tuson since twenty twenty. I know that's during COVID, so I guess I've 294 00:19:57.480 --> 00:20:03.440 been physically managing Tucson since twenty twenty one. So you've done very well. 295 00:20:03.480 --> 00:20:07.640 I think you've won a title or two in that time. Yes, yes, 296 00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:11.279 I have. Okay, okay, so well I'm looking at you. 297 00:20:11.359 --> 00:20:14.720 Guys have won well, you've won two, right, you said to the 298 00:20:14.720 --> 00:20:18.519 manager of twenty twenty, So twenty twenty, twenty twenty one. There was 299 00:20:18.519 --> 00:20:22.680 also a league championship in twenty sixteen. Tell us about the league that you 300 00:20:22.720 --> 00:20:26.160 know, the level of play, the quality of the play, the places 301 00:20:26.200 --> 00:20:30.160 that you guys play. Just fell us in a little bit about about all 302 00:20:30.200 --> 00:20:33.119 of this, because I think it's sort of an, I don't know, 303 00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:36.759 under the radar kind of thing here in town. Although you know, I 304 00:20:36.759 --> 00:20:37.839 look at some of the pictures from your games, it looks like you got 305 00:20:37.839 --> 00:20:45.160 some decent crowds. Oh. Pagos League is a sixteen team league based in 306 00:20:45.200 --> 00:20:49.880 California, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Kansas, Texas, Oklahoma, 307 00:20:51.240 --> 00:20:56.400 and Nebraska. I would say the level of play is probably rookie ball. 308 00:20:57.279 --> 00:21:02.640 It's basically a lead to get it. Let guys get an opportunity because you 309 00:21:02.680 --> 00:21:06.519 know, back, I want to say, twenty twenty two, twenty twenty 310 00:21:06.519 --> 00:21:11.079 one, somewhere around COVID time, MLB got rid of twenty rounds for the 311 00:21:11.160 --> 00:21:17.240 draft. So there's a lot of players that can play that aren't getting the 312 00:21:17.279 --> 00:21:22.480 opportunity that they deserve, and this league gives them that opportunity. So you've 313 00:21:22.519 --> 00:21:26.599 been around it a long time. Are how many guys in your time here 314 00:21:26.759 --> 00:21:34.680 or even before have been able to kind of move up in organizations. For 315 00:21:34.960 --> 00:21:41.000 us, we're a league where we get you into a higher independent league, 316 00:21:41.240 --> 00:21:44.839 one of the MLB Partners League. But I would say I had to give 317 00:21:44.880 --> 00:21:48.119 you a round number forty. But we did have a player that played in 318 00:21:48.160 --> 00:21:52.480 twenty twenty one and he made it to after playing with me. He made 319 00:21:52.480 --> 00:21:56.799 it to a higher league and then ended up playing in the Patres organization. 320 00:21:56.799 --> 00:22:00.960 So and these guys have to be just guys that love baball right. I 321 00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:03.319 mean they're good, but you know they play for the love of the game. 322 00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:08.599 They still want the opportunity, the dream or whatever that might be. 323 00:22:08.640 --> 00:22:14.319 But mostly it's got to be they just love playing baseball. Yeah, But 324 00:22:14.440 --> 00:22:17.799 there like there are guys that you know, deserve to get a look to 325 00:22:17.799 --> 00:22:19.839 play the league. I mean, if you ever heard of the name here 326 00:22:19.960 --> 00:22:25.160 and Mercedes, he was the guy that started out in this league and without 327 00:22:25.160 --> 00:22:26.920 this league he probably would have never made it and played in the White for 328 00:22:27.000 --> 00:22:30.359 the White Sox a couple of years ago. Yeah, right, have you 329 00:22:30.480 --> 00:22:34.920 had a player like that? Maybe not to that degree, but someone that 330 00:22:34.960 --> 00:22:38.039 you saw that was special, and I'm sure you have contacts you can kind 331 00:22:38.039 --> 00:22:40.640 of say, hey, I got a guy. You know, you just 332 00:22:40.680 --> 00:22:42.880 got to keep looking at him. Oh, of course, of course. 333 00:22:44.440 --> 00:22:47.799 Like I said, the picture that played for me that made it the the 334 00:22:47.839 --> 00:22:51.799 Padres organization before he played for me, the highest level baseball he ever played 335 00:22:51.799 --> 00:22:56.279 with Division two baseball? And how old was he or is he? I 336 00:22:56.319 --> 00:23:00.000 think now he might be like twenty five? Okay, so the young guy. 337 00:23:00.559 --> 00:23:04.640 Yeah, young guys, you know, guys that just get overlooked, 338 00:23:04.680 --> 00:23:11.000 right, Like for example, the kid that played double A with the Padres, 339 00:23:11.839 --> 00:23:14.160 he just went to a school that no one ever heard of, right, 340 00:23:14.279 --> 00:23:17.960 it was called Upper Iowa University. No one's ever heard of that school. 341 00:23:17.960 --> 00:23:23.839 But without the Pekas League and giving these guys this opportunity, that guy 342 00:23:23.920 --> 00:23:29.160 would have been done baseball working at some nonprofit because I think he works there 343 00:23:29.200 --> 00:23:32.920 on the off season and no one, no one would have ever heard of 344 00:23:32.960 --> 00:23:36.000 his name before. I think one of the things that correct me if I'm 345 00:23:36.039 --> 00:23:40.799 wrong. I think you used to play at the auxiliary stadium or field way 346 00:23:40.799 --> 00:23:44.160 back, and now you're now in the big, big stadium. Is that 347 00:23:44.200 --> 00:23:51.079 correct? Uh? No, actually so. So in twenty sixteen twenty seventeen 348 00:23:51.119 --> 00:23:56.480 they played at in Pinot Stadium in the stadium, okay. Then we ended 349 00:23:56.559 --> 00:24:03.400 up moving in twenty seventeen, I believe at Cherry Field, okay, or 350 00:24:03.480 --> 00:24:07.960 maybe twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen, excuse me, cherry Field. Then COVID 351 00:24:07.000 --> 00:24:11.599 happened, and then twenty twenty one we played at Anti High School, and 352 00:24:11.640 --> 00:24:15.359 then in twenty two till now we're back in Kino Stadium. All right, 353 00:24:15.440 --> 00:24:18.160 okay, all right, well good, but I mean it's a great venue 354 00:24:18.279 --> 00:24:22.799 and got sure, sure it needs to be you sure, That's why I 355 00:24:22.799 --> 00:24:26.039 said it's a great place to play. To be honest with you, I 356 00:24:26.160 --> 00:24:30.480 enjoy it. I'm sure the fans enjoy it. Well, I know my 357 00:24:30.559 --> 00:24:33.519 players really enjoy it, like they get all excited. I know the other 358 00:24:33.559 --> 00:24:36.920 team gets excited playing at the stadium. Well, let me tell you this 359 00:24:37.000 --> 00:24:40.480 because I know some people back home. I'm from Santa Fe in New Mexico, 360 00:24:40.759 --> 00:24:42.880 and I know the venue you played it. I played it growing up 361 00:24:44.319 --> 00:24:48.039 in high school and beyond. So I'm sure the people who are in the 362 00:24:48.160 --> 00:24:53.880 league probably don't play as You're kind of like your place very often. Yeah, 363 00:24:55.000 --> 00:24:57.960 no, that would be correct. I mean you have our field. 364 00:24:59.000 --> 00:25:02.880 You might have another field, like two other fields that are similar to ours, 365 00:25:03.039 --> 00:25:07.160 not as good as you know, but yeah, the field you're referring 366 00:25:07.160 --> 00:25:11.720 to back in Santa Fe. If they came here, they would I think 367 00:25:11.720 --> 00:25:14.759 we would have to postpone the game a little bit just so they can take 368 00:25:14.799 --> 00:25:21.119 pictures, great analogies. I wanted to it so so as the as the 369 00:25:21.160 --> 00:25:23.160 manager of a team like this, where you're kind of you know, trying 370 00:25:23.200 --> 00:25:26.720 to get these guys to you know, to the Promised Land or wherever. 371 00:25:26.720 --> 00:25:30.400 You want to say that, you know, what's the what's the most satisfying 372 00:25:30.440 --> 00:25:33.359 thing for you? Uh, being a being a manager of these guys in 373 00:25:33.440 --> 00:25:37.039 terms of again, I know it's hard to get guys that you get them 374 00:25:37.039 --> 00:25:41.559 the opportunities, but just managing this team, what's in it for you? 375 00:25:45.160 --> 00:25:48.240 Yes, I would say just the fact of like seeing them progress. I 376 00:25:48.240 --> 00:25:53.119 mean I just like helping people Like Tess. You could say, I guess 377 00:25:53.119 --> 00:25:57.440 when I'm long and you know time passes, I'm passed away. Like those 378 00:25:57.440 --> 00:26:00.680 guys are younger than I am, so you know they might talk back like, 379 00:26:00.720 --> 00:26:03.519 hey, Sean McNeil helped me get here, and what the hell am 380 00:26:03.519 --> 00:26:07.279 I was an I would never had this opportunity. I guess that's what it's 381 00:26:07.319 --> 00:26:11.319 for me. You know. Well, one of the things that impresses me 382 00:26:11.359 --> 00:26:14.079 now after talking to you, because you've been here a while, you've won 383 00:26:14.119 --> 00:26:17.759 a couple of titles. Uh. This is a league where it's surely transitory. 384 00:26:18.000 --> 00:26:19.640 You play for one team or you play for another team, and you 385 00:26:19.720 --> 00:26:25.119 move around you haven't uh and and players are kind of just finding the spot. 386 00:26:26.920 --> 00:26:30.880 So I don't move around. Because I enjoyed Tucson a lot. I 387 00:26:30.920 --> 00:26:36.400 think it also helps that. I guess you could practically call her my wife 388 00:26:36.440 --> 00:26:41.599 because we've been together forever. But she's from Tucson originally, so like what 389 00:26:41.839 --> 00:26:45.799 the pride that she has with Tucson. I guess you know, I inherit 390 00:26:45.920 --> 00:26:48.480 that, So like I want tuson the win. I enjoyed Tucson. I 391 00:26:48.519 --> 00:26:53.079 love the city, so like, if the team's here, I want to 392 00:26:53.119 --> 00:26:57.279 be here. Yeah, Okay, we're talking to Sean McNeil, manager of 393 00:26:57.319 --> 00:27:03.039 the Tucson Sorrows. The Dependent Pacos League baseball tune that plays down at three 394 00:27:03.079 --> 00:27:07.960 time champion, three time champion that plays down at at Keno Stadium. I 395 00:27:07.000 --> 00:27:10.680 want to call it too sound like your park because I haven't named that Sean. 396 00:27:10.720 --> 00:27:15.119 But anyways, but you know, being being out there getting fans to 397 00:27:15.200 --> 00:27:18.000 come to the games, Uh, what what kind of work do you guys 398 00:27:18.039 --> 00:27:22.880 need to do to do that? Who comes to your games? I would 399 00:27:22.880 --> 00:27:26.119 say, just you know, like your average fran, maybe a fans in 400 00:27:26.200 --> 00:27:30.319 the U of A that knows about the Two Sansorrows. I know this league 401 00:27:30.400 --> 00:27:36.079 is not very well known, but it's it's basically a word of mouth league 402 00:27:36.079 --> 00:27:37.759 in the sense of like the fans knowing about it. So being on the 403 00:27:37.839 --> 00:27:41.440 radio helps us, just like letting you guys know, like, hey, 404 00:27:41.440 --> 00:27:48.640 there's a there's a professional team out here. But I mean just promotions and 405 00:27:48.680 --> 00:27:52.200 everything and players being out and about maybe seeing our our logo and just like 406 00:27:52.279 --> 00:27:56.640 hey, what's what's that? You know, like and then player maybe a 407 00:27:56.640 --> 00:27:59.160 player might say like, hey, this is what this is? The Two 408 00:27:59.200 --> 00:28:03.759 Sans the professional team here, but yeah, just wear them out and being 409 00:28:03.799 --> 00:28:07.480 on the radio and everything helps a ton, or being in the newspaper or 410 00:28:07.640 --> 00:28:11.440 the news. Right, So so we just go back to Santa Fe. 411 00:28:11.000 --> 00:28:14.839 It's a small town, you know, seventy thousand people, so people know 412 00:28:14.880 --> 00:28:18.480 who they are because it's it's they get coverage a little and it's, uh, 413 00:28:18.559 --> 00:28:18.720 you know, what do you want to do. Let's go to the 414 00:28:18.720 --> 00:28:22.960 ballpark and watch the game here. He's exactly right. It's it's tough to 415 00:28:22.000 --> 00:28:26.680 get the word out. But but you do have a you do have something. 416 00:28:26.839 --> 00:28:32.200 It's kind of a hidden something. Yeah, yeah, no, definitely 417 00:28:32.200 --> 00:28:34.079 a hidden gym. You know, if you enjoyed baseball, it's something to 418 00:28:34.119 --> 00:28:38.440 come and watch. And you know, unfortunately, I know the U of 419 00:28:38.519 --> 00:28:42.400 A got knocked out and I'm hurting with you guys as well, because i 420 00:28:42.400 --> 00:28:48.119 mean I'm a U of A fan. Yeah, but but I mean it's 421 00:28:48.119 --> 00:28:52.599 something like if you i mean, something to pass the time to watch baseball, 422 00:28:52.680 --> 00:28:55.279 you know, it's it's something to do because I mean, I know, 423 00:28:55.519 --> 00:28:59.079 the Diamondbacks are about two hours away, so if you don't want to 424 00:28:59.079 --> 00:29:02.039 take that two hour drive up, two hour drive back, it's you can 425 00:29:02.079 --> 00:29:06.000 watch some professional baseball, see guys. And it's a little more interactive than 426 00:29:06.359 --> 00:29:08.119 what it would be with an MLB game, just because you know, you 427 00:29:08.119 --> 00:29:12.279 can get close to the field and it's something to you know, definitely enjoy 428 00:29:12.319 --> 00:29:18.839 and watch you know your hometown wins. How can people go to the games? 429 00:29:18.039 --> 00:29:21.640 Is it free? Does it cost? Is it kind of like a 430 00:29:21.640 --> 00:29:26.519 regular baseball game? Because it is a kind of a cozy situation. So 431 00:29:26.799 --> 00:29:30.119 I would say it's kind of a regular baseball game. It's not free, 432 00:29:30.119 --> 00:29:33.240 even have to pay. I think the tickets are like ten to twelve dollars. 433 00:29:33.319 --> 00:29:37.039 I think for kids under a certain age it's free. Kids will be 434 00:29:37.039 --> 00:29:41.759 able to run the field as well, you know, and then like fans 435 00:29:41.759 --> 00:29:45.160 are able to get pretty close to the dugout and actually talk to the players. 436 00:29:45.319 --> 00:29:49.039 I know there's a few that do that. We actually have one fan 437 00:29:49.599 --> 00:29:53.920 after the game. She actually provides us with pookies every every time. Wow. 438 00:29:55.000 --> 00:29:56.759 Okay, all right, so you can get pretty close. If that 439 00:29:56.839 --> 00:30:00.440 If that helps give you an idea how close you can get the player? 440 00:30:00.559 --> 00:30:03.559 Well, I think I think I'm sure they do this with you guys, 441 00:30:03.559 --> 00:30:07.559 because they do another other place is uh they have the players stay with host 442 00:30:07.599 --> 00:30:15.119 families, right, yes, yes, so for us, we we have 443 00:30:15.240 --> 00:30:18.559 host families because the players are all over the country. I mean to kind 444 00:30:18.559 --> 00:30:21.440 of give me an idea with that, Like we have a couple of guys 445 00:30:21.480 --> 00:30:25.160 from North Carolina. We have guys from the Bay Area, we have guys 446 00:30:25.160 --> 00:30:30.799 from Japan, so we definitely need host like host families. But well, 447 00:30:33.200 --> 00:30:37.200 but we also you know, that's how we are able to have a team 448 00:30:37.240 --> 00:30:41.000 here by the people providing this place so they can sleep, they can shower, 449 00:30:41.079 --> 00:30:45.559 they can do their laundry, you know. So so that way I 450 00:30:45.599 --> 00:30:52.359 can build a team to win championships, because without them there, there's there's 451 00:30:52.400 --> 00:30:55.720 no team. To be honest with you, yep. So I just got 452 00:30:55.759 --> 00:30:57.279 texted a question. You know, somebody comes out to the game where you 453 00:30:57.279 --> 00:31:00.039 know, concessions open and all that kind of stuff. I mean, is 454 00:31:00.079 --> 00:31:04.599 that that kind of an atmosphere? Yes, yeah, so confessions are open. 455 00:31:04.799 --> 00:31:08.160 I believe tonight is dollar beer night, honest with you. Okay, 456 00:31:08.359 --> 00:31:15.079 okay, I believe that's every Thursday, thirsty thursdays over there. All right, 457 00:31:15.119 --> 00:31:18.000 there we go. So you how long have you been in the league? 458 00:31:18.200 --> 00:31:19.359 Not so much of me as a manager, but in the league, 459 00:31:21.759 --> 00:31:26.200 oh, the league, I would say since twenty twenty fifteen, like like 460 00:31:26.759 --> 00:31:32.200 the lie twenty fifteen and now as a player, which is and as a 461 00:31:32.240 --> 00:31:37.000 manager, which is twenty fifteen to twenty sixteen. I was a player, 462 00:31:37.039 --> 00:31:38.839 and then twenty seventeen, I took on that role as a manager, but 463 00:31:38.920 --> 00:31:42.720 for a different team. Perfect for my question because you've probably seen the league 464 00:31:42.799 --> 00:31:51.200 evolve and improve dramatically. Yes, yes, I've seen. I've seen the 465 00:31:51.279 --> 00:31:55.480 league definitely get better. I've seen the league grow because I believe when I 466 00:31:55.559 --> 00:32:00.000 was a player, it was a ten team league and now they've had it 467 00:32:00.039 --> 00:32:04.200 six teams. When I was a player, there was no California teams. 468 00:32:04.200 --> 00:32:08.039 I believe there are six now. And also when I was a player, 469 00:32:08.079 --> 00:32:15.119 there was no Nebraska team, less Texas teams. So the lead's been growing 470 00:32:15.160 --> 00:32:17.920 to give more players opportunities. Like I said, with the draft and eliminate 471 00:32:19.160 --> 00:32:25.839 or twenty rounds getting eliminated. It definitely helps the league in a sense of 472 00:32:27.079 --> 00:32:30.480 we need to grow, so we've the more opportunity to players. But the 473 00:32:30.559 --> 00:32:36.400 town has definitely risen since I was a player. All Right, all right, 474 00:32:36.440 --> 00:32:37.880 So I'm looking at your schedule. You've got you played what about fifty 475 00:32:37.920 --> 00:32:42.880 games, right, and you're you're a couple of weeks into it. I'm 476 00:32:42.920 --> 00:32:46.279 looking at your schedule. I see seven Thursdays, so that's seven dollars beer 477 00:32:46.400 --> 00:32:52.880 nights coming up between now and the end of July seven o'clock at at the 478 00:32:52.960 --> 00:32:59.279 King at Keno Stadium. Sowarros Baseball dot com is your website, so if 479 00:32:59.279 --> 00:33:00.400 you want to go and get some information, there you go. Unless that 480 00:33:00.480 --> 00:33:02.480 was your first home game right now the season. Couple of nights ago, 481 00:33:02.519 --> 00:33:08.359 yeah, two nights ago. One won the home opener, so we're one 482 00:33:08.440 --> 00:33:12.440 in one right now at home. This is game three. Hopefully we won 483 00:33:12.519 --> 00:33:14.839 the rubber match. I think we have a good chance. We have a 484 00:33:14.839 --> 00:33:20.160 great, h great pitcher pitching tonight. Actually kind of a local guy from 485 00:33:20.240 --> 00:33:23.200 Douglis, Arizona, also played a little bit in the Mexican League. Okay, 486 00:33:23.359 --> 00:33:27.440 you know this is a group of people from all over the country. 487 00:33:27.480 --> 00:33:30.240 This is great and in the world actually because uh there's guys like you said, 488 00:33:30.240 --> 00:33:34.839 who love the game, who maybe want to get a look still and 489 00:33:35.079 --> 00:33:37.400 you you must. What do you do on the side, Do you have 490 00:33:37.519 --> 00:33:43.880 like a real job? You must? I used I used to actually, 491 00:33:45.799 --> 00:33:49.440 and back in our I used to work in the mortgage engine and excuse me, 492 00:33:49.960 --> 00:33:54.400 the mortgage industry where I was the s per specialist. I would make 493 00:33:54.440 --> 00:34:00.240 sure that if you had private mortgage insurance that that would get paid on time 494 00:34:00.319 --> 00:34:07.000 for the for the providers.

The rest of the stuff is 623 00:42:49.719 --> 00:42:52.639 kind of subsided a little with the NBA WNBA. I'm sorry. Yeah, 624 00:42:52.639 --> 00:42:54.840 with all the noise that was there, there was, but you know, 625 00:42:54.880 --> 00:43:00.440 geeno Orim had some interesting stuff to say about that today. Again gino Ari, 626 00:43:00.519 --> 00:43:04.159 I'm the great coach from Connecticut, would win the championship every year, 627 00:43:04.239 --> 00:43:07.039 still one of the great coaches, just signed a new five year deal to 628 00:43:07.119 --> 00:43:09.840 keep to keep coaching. But he talked about and look he said, he 629 00:43:09.920 --> 00:43:15.800 said kind of what I said. He said, Look, Caitlin Clark is 630 00:43:15.840 --> 00:43:21.199 coming in and you know, she's getting all the attention and there's expectations of 631 00:43:21.239 --> 00:43:23.079 her. She's a rookie, no matter what you say, she's a rookie, 632 00:43:23.440 --> 00:43:28.440 and she's you know, she's not physical enough for the game yet she's 633 00:43:28.480 --> 00:43:32.360 going to get bounced around. And he said, now he said what I 634 00:43:32.400 --> 00:43:36.079 said. Yes, he said, the hard file going down the lane for 635 00:43:36.360 --> 00:43:38.679 you're not going to get a free pass. What that what that one player 636 00:43:38.719 --> 00:43:43.840 did by just going up and knocking her down away from a play. That's 637 00:43:43.920 --> 00:43:47.320 unacceptable. But you know, she's got to expect she's going to get trash 638 00:43:47.360 --> 00:43:51.960 talk, she's going to get you know, people are going to make it 639 00:43:51.960 --> 00:43:54.400 hard on her. But if they do it in the context of the game, 640 00:43:54.960 --> 00:43:58.719 that's part of the game, and that's you know, that's what we 641 00:43:58.760 --> 00:44:01.800 talked about yesterday, and there's nothing wrong with that, Absolutely nothing wrong with 642 00:44:01.840 --> 00:44:07.239 that. But it's when somebody targets you, you know, with a cheap 643 00:44:07.280 --> 00:44:12.480 shot, that's not that's not what's that's not acceptable. So that's what I 644 00:44:12.519 --> 00:44:15.760 was saying about what that what that player did to her that that one time, 645 00:44:15.039 --> 00:44:17.000 and then you know, they got to have your back. But he 646 00:44:17.000 --> 00:44:19.559 said, look, he said, it's gonna be hard on it. And 647 00:44:19.559 --> 00:44:22.039 there's nothing wrong with it being hard, and there's nothing wrong with other players 648 00:44:22.159 --> 00:44:25.000 making it hard on her. Sure, there's nothing wrong with that, and 649 00:44:25.000 --> 00:44:29.519 I agree with that. But what's wrong is what happened in that game that 650 00:44:29.599 --> 00:44:32.440 got that went. Did you see I guess the Chicago Sky was going to 651 00:44:32.519 --> 00:44:37.320 a game I can't don't remember where, just having history and there was a 652 00:44:37.360 --> 00:44:39.239 fan that was got too close to the team. Did you have that need 653 00:44:39.239 --> 00:44:44.519 to have that, and I guess the security had to come in and get 654 00:44:44.559 --> 00:44:51.079 him removed because he was he was kind of like stalking the person can forget 655 00:44:51.079 --> 00:44:54.239 her name, the one who blindsided came to Clark, so you know again, 656 00:44:54.360 --> 00:44:57.760 and there's there's no place for that either. Of course, there's no 657 00:44:57.760 --> 00:45:00.760 place for that either. She shouldn't have to that, but you know what, 658 00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:05.079 don't do those things and people won't come after you like that. So 659 00:45:05.159 --> 00:45:07.360 you know that that's not that's a little bit on her. But we're a 660 00:45:07.480 --> 00:45:10.719 nut job kind of society anyways when it comes to stuff like that, that's 661 00:45:10.760 --> 00:45:15.320 just stupid, you know. So and then you know, and then you 662 00:45:15.400 --> 00:45:19.880 have you know, Pat McAfee and what he said, you know, on 663 00:45:20.000 --> 00:45:22.599 his show, and it's like, come on, guys, we have to 664 00:45:22.639 --> 00:45:25.440 just be a little bit better than that, right right, So we'll see, 665 00:45:25.599 --> 00:45:29.599 we'll see, we'll all get better from well, okay, one more 666 00:45:29.599 --> 00:45:31.760 thing I saw the Angel Reese came out and said, you know, we're 667 00:45:31.840 --> 00:45:35.880 really good, you know, we're really good players and people want to see 668 00:45:35.920 --> 00:45:39.199 us too. And then somebody posted the attendance. Saw that. Someone said 669 00:45:39.199 --> 00:45:42.840 that to me, Yeah, that that you know, they're getting seventeen thousand 670 00:45:42.880 --> 00:45:45.079 when Kayln Clark is there and they're getting five six thousand, when she's not 671 00:45:45.519 --> 00:45:51.519 so angel you need to Why don't you just accept the fact that she's helping 672 00:45:51.559 --> 00:45:55.920 your league and she's helping you. Why don't you just accept that instead of 673 00:45:55.960 --> 00:46:00.320 fighting. There's so many of these these players. Are I need it? 674 00:46:00.400 --> 00:46:02.639 They're they're they're resenting it, and that's that's that's the problem, right, 675 00:46:04.000 --> 00:46:09.519 And there's some curiosity looks as well, uh for the reces and all that, 676 00:46:09.599 --> 00:46:13.679 and that's and that's to be expected. Let me ask you, would 677 00:46:13.760 --> 00:46:17.800 you drive up to Phoenix to watch your play? No? If I had 678 00:46:19.159 --> 00:46:21.960 a no, you're asking the wrong person. But if I had a little 679 00:46:21.960 --> 00:46:23.679 girl, who's who's interest? Yeah? Of course? Okay? But but 680 00:46:24.239 --> 00:46:28.920 if they played where you sit today, if they played, if they played 681 00:46:28.920 --> 00:46:30.199 here, I would. If they play if you got a credential, would 682 00:46:30.199 --> 00:46:35.440 you buy a ticket here? Uh? But probably if they played here? 683 00:46:35.559 --> 00:46:37.039 Yeah, yeah, I think I would, just out of curiosity. Let's 684 00:46:37.079 --> 00:46:40.920 say let's say you know, the Phoenix Mercury came and played a game against 685 00:46:42.000 --> 00:46:45.280 against Indiana here, Michale, would you go to that game as a fan? 686 00:46:45.519 --> 00:46:49.000 That's a good question because I can easily say sure, of course, 687 00:46:49.119 --> 00:46:53.480 Jay, but I think I would just because uh I did it. But 688 00:46:53.559 --> 00:46:57.480 let me tell you something. This is how interested I am, and this 689 00:46:57.559 --> 00:47:00.079 is kind of foolish, but I'm gonna do it be because I collect this 690 00:47:00.159 --> 00:47:02.639 crap that you talk about with this T shirts. You know, I have 691 00:47:02.679 --> 00:47:06.880 a bunch of crap T shirts. Not crap T shirts, but just different 692 00:47:07.320 --> 00:47:09.400 T shirts. Uh So, one of our listeners, and we know who 693 00:47:09.519 --> 00:47:14.960 is, he's in Indianapolis. He's getting he's getting a Clark shirt. I 694 00:47:14.960 --> 00:47:16.719 said, give me one. I want one. Yeah, because I'll wear 695 00:47:16.760 --> 00:47:22.480 it just because it's interesting. It's a talker. Would I wear it once? 696 00:47:22.599 --> 00:47:24.639 Yeah, of course. Would I wear it twice? I don't know, 697 00:47:25.159 --> 00:47:29.159 but you know, yeah, why not. I'd make fun of you. 698 00:47:29.320 --> 00:47:37.079 That's fine. It's it's called Tuesday, it's called Wednesday. What do 699 00:47:37.079 --> 00:47:42.639 you have on right now? No? I wear it and people say, 700 00:47:42.880 --> 00:47:44.559 hey, coo, where'd you get that shirt? Well? I got it 701 00:47:44.559 --> 00:47:45.559 from somebody. See that. And that's the thing of it, Steve, 702 00:47:45.639 --> 00:47:51.199 is that And it's not just it's each it's each person's thing. Sure, 703 00:47:51.239 --> 00:47:54.920 of course, it's each person's thing. You you you you take this in 704 00:47:55.000 --> 00:47:58.519 the way you want to take it in, sure, and guess what your 705 00:47:58.559 --> 00:48:01.960 answering. It's like Vic called yesterday about the playing all your there's no right 706 00:48:02.039 --> 00:48:05.159 or wrong answer, right, No, that's my answer was right, And 707 00:48:05.199 --> 00:48:09.159 here's this wrong. That's part of the problem. What you say is your 708 00:48:09.199 --> 00:48:12.400 deal, right, and how you live your life. Okay, good for 709 00:48:12.480 --> 00:48:15.760 you, and it's move on and it's respecting sure of course, right, 710 00:48:15.239 --> 00:48:19.800 And so it's respecting the fact that she's getting all this attention and it's helping 711 00:48:19.880 --> 00:48:22.960 you, and it's helping your league. Just accept that and play with it 712 00:48:23.000 --> 00:48:27.400 and go with it. Yeah, I've known too many athletes very good ideas 713 00:48:27.960 --> 00:48:30.880 are resentful or you didn't you didn't pay your dues, you didn't do this, 714 00:48:30.960 --> 00:48:35.920 and all that stuff. But you know, hey, life's not fair. 715 00:48:36.239 --> 00:48:37.960 It's just not make the most of it. Yeah, sure, right, 716 00:48:38.039 --> 00:48:40.360 make the most of it in your way. Yeah, as you lift 717 00:48:40.440 --> 00:48:45.000 me up, thank me too, because you wouldn't be doing you wouldn't be 718 00:48:45.000 --> 00:48:47.519 in front of seventeen thousand people.

He's like, I want to that's what I want. 749 00:51:01.239 --> 00:51:05.320 Yeah, you'd hate You don't want to see your team just get blown 750 00:51:05.360 --> 00:51:07.679 out and swept or whatever. You want it to be a good series. 751 00:51:07.920 --> 00:51:09.760 You want you're the underdog. I mean, you know, you want to 752 00:51:09.760 --> 00:51:13.079 feel like, Okay, we have a chance. That's what you want. 753 00:51:13.480 --> 00:51:15.960 Yeah. I mean it's like just like with any other sport. I mean 754 00:51:15.039 --> 00:51:17.239 I want to sit down and watch it and yeah, enjoy it, be 755 00:51:17.400 --> 00:51:22.159 like, hey, it's a good series. Yeah if if who would have 756 00:51:22.159 --> 00:51:24.519 thought they would have got to this point in the first place? What's what's 757 00:51:24.960 --> 00:51:30.239 four fifth or four fifth five? I mean, like so they were first 758 00:51:30.239 --> 00:51:35.639 place for like two weeks starting the season and then they kind of fell off 759 00:51:35.679 --> 00:51:38.599 and you know, they were hovering around five hundred before they made those traits. 760 00:51:38.760 --> 00:51:43.480 Do you pay attention to them, you know, a serious this year? 761 00:51:43.760 --> 00:51:46.320 So do you think and as I watched Jason Kidd and we've seen him 762 00:51:46.320 --> 00:51:49.679 forever, right, right, do you think he's a good coach? Is 763 00:51:49.679 --> 00:51:52.239 he one of the reasons why they're doing this? I mean I think he's 764 00:51:52.280 --> 00:51:53.960 a really good coach. I mean, who was a Rick Carlisle before that? 765 00:51:54.039 --> 00:51:58.199 Yeah, he was a really good coach too. And I was sad 766 00:51:58.199 --> 00:52:00.559 to see him go because he is a good coach. He's a good coach. 767 00:52:00.559 --> 00:52:04.159 I mean he won a championship, he took the twenty eleven championship and 768 00:52:04.719 --> 00:52:07.360 the kid, Yeah, kid's a good coach. I hope he six a 769 00:52:07.400 --> 00:52:10.440 round for Yeah, I guess he found his he found his uh, his 770 00:52:10.559 --> 00:52:15.320 team, his niche and maybe you know, and maybe it's Jason Kidd that 771 00:52:15.639 --> 00:52:19.320 has made Kyrie Irving be not a pain in the ass, but you know, 772 00:52:19.599 --> 00:52:22.280 an asset to the team that that helped come to the championship. Right. 773 00:52:22.400 --> 00:52:24.440 I mean, we'll see because look, those things are hard, right 774 00:52:24.480 --> 00:52:28.639 and because the way they talk about when Steve Kerr took over the Golden State 775 00:52:28.679 --> 00:52:32.599 Warriors and how uh kind of messed up that team wasn't Mark Jackson couldn't get 776 00:52:32.599 --> 00:52:36.880 them to win went in there with the same players and wins all these championships. 777 00:52:36.880 --> 00:52:37.559 Well, that's that's the fun. You know, there's certain guys that 778 00:52:37.599 --> 00:52:40.239 can do that. We have no very little time. But I remember five 779 00:52:40.280 --> 00:52:44.079 six years ago, one of the guys that friendly with he says, oh, 780 00:52:44.119 --> 00:52:45.039 I could have gone in there and just coached those guys. No, 781 00:52:45.079 --> 00:52:49.000 you couldn't. He couldn't if somebody else already had it. Personalities, you 782 00:52:49.400 --> 00:52:52.119 know how difficult it is to coach. He goes like that. Yeah, 783 00:52:53.239 --> 00:52:57.639 and now it looks you know that they kind of blew up the way, 784 00:52:57.960 --> 00:53:00.760 you know, and now it's it's it's hard again. You know, we'll 785 00:53:00.880 --> 00:53:04.880 dream on green with well with uh. We talked to him two weeks ago. 786 00:53:04.960 --> 00:53:06.840 Yeah, we talked about it. I mean, it's it's tough, 787 00:53:07.320 --> 00:53:09.039 it's it's not easy to do. He would rather be coaching right now, 788 00:53:09.079 --> 00:53:12.719 but he's not. He's not, and that's the way it goes. Okay, 789 00:53:13.320 --> 00:53:15.039 man, Okay, good day. Thanks Ryan, nice job on the 790 00:53:15.039 --> 00:53:17.440 board. Appreciate it.
