1
00:00:00.760 --> 00:00:04.519
That will continue on Fred Rogan Rodney
Pete on a five seventy LA Sports.

2
00:00:04.719 --> 00:00:09.359
They will be along later on in
the hour with the haiku and spirituality.

3
00:00:10.199 --> 00:00:12.759
You know, we were just kicking
this around on the break, Rodney says,

4
00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:16.039
I can't believe Chip Kelly left.
I can't believe he left to become

5
00:00:16.039 --> 00:00:20.359
the offensive coordinator at Ohio State.
How does the head coach do that?

6
00:00:20.920 --> 00:00:27.239
How does a head coach in college
football become Oh, hell, Tim Kate's

7
00:00:27.280 --> 00:00:29.960
nose. Yeah, Tim Kates knows. How in the world does he leave

8
00:00:30.039 --> 00:00:33.479
to become an offensive coordinator. It's
like that would be Mick Cronin. I

9
00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:35.920
said to Rodney, I'd like to
be mc crone going. I'm out of

10
00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:43.159
here. I'm gonna be the number
one assistant at North Carolina. I'm ready

11
00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:46.280
to go. All right, let's
bring on wrong line, All right,

12
00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:52.679
let's bring on Bill Plashky. Hello
Bill, Oh, you got your billionaire

13
00:00:54.000 --> 00:01:00.000
right here? Baby Lasky, Hello, Hello Bill, your hair has been

14
00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:06.719
I can hear your Happy Wednesday,
Happy Valentine's Day to you two Wednesdays,

15
00:01:06.879 --> 00:01:10.359
Wednesday and Valentine's Day. I got
to get that out as many times as

16
00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:12.680
I can, right, now you
got it on the forehead, you do

17
00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:17.719
on thee the forehead. Okay,
everybody's staring at me. I don't care.

18
00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:21.719
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Bill. Don't they always stare at

19
00:01:21.719 --> 00:01:25.040
you? Yeah? Right, Yeah, you're right, you're right, hey

20
00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:26.519
Bell. We'll just do it out
there again. And just because it was

21
00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:30.000
just popped in my head about Tip
Kelly leaving to go to Ohio State as

22
00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:36.799
a coordinator, and I was just
thinking about how how bad does the future

23
00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:41.319
look for U c l A.
For him to leave like he did bad.

24
00:01:41.480 --> 00:01:44.159
I mean, if we were a
recruit, you want to go to

25
00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:48.079
a place where a head coach takes
a job as a as a coordinator at

26
00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:53.359
his own conference. I mean there's
a huge emotion and he willingly took it.

27
00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:55.959
So what does that say about the
stay of the program? What does

28
00:01:55.959 --> 00:02:00.879
this say about his belief in their
ability to get nil money and they're belief

29
00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:04.760
they get good recruits. It's yeah, it's so damaging. The way the

30
00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:08.599
way he left us was cowardly.
Leaving as late as he did this in

31
00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:14.680
the season cycle, not leaving after
the season so cowardly, and it makes

32
00:02:14.680 --> 00:02:19.719
the program look so bad and just
so so they rushed to hire to Sean

33
00:02:19.759 --> 00:02:23.960
Foster, good guy, everybody loves
him, but he's never a coach anywhere,

34
00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:29.639
so that that's bad too. The
future views LA going into Big Ten,

35
00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:32.400
they look like at number nine or
ten team in the conference, they

36
00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:36.360
don't look very good. Yeah,
And that's the thing about Deshaun, Like

37
00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:38.000
you said, good guy. I
know him well, played with him in

38
00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:43.159
Carolina. But you know, and
I know you know, you get excited

39
00:02:43.159 --> 00:02:45.759
when you're Alma Mater calls and wants
you to be the head coach. I

40
00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:49.080
mean, most guys are jumping at
the chance. But man, it is

41
00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:54.280
a it's a it's an uphill battle
that you know what they say about money,

42
00:02:54.319 --> 00:02:59.080
all money not good money. And
I don't know if all jobs are

43
00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:04.000
not good jobs. Yeah, it's
a bad job. And he's in it

44
00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:08.639
to a trust situation. And they're
like they're the big equivalent of Rutgers.

45
00:03:08.639 --> 00:03:13.199
Now they're Rutgers. They're Maryland,
that's what they are. They're not in

46
00:03:13.240 --> 00:03:19.120
the elite anymore at all. And
Martin Jarmond is under a lot of fire

47
00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:23.039
ware there and a lot of people
are really down on him. He's got

48
00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:25.599
a lot of work to do.
It's just a mess. It's a whole

49
00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:30.240
for outside of Miking the basketball team, It's just a mess. Bill chip

50
00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:34.960
Kelly didn't really say anything. He
just left right. Ye never told anybody

51
00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:37.599
who was going to I'm out.
He let uc LA. No. I

52
00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:42.360
don't think he's spoken publicly since.
No. And you think you wonder why

53
00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:46.120
if that Tramond had a closer retied
to the order to the program, he

54
00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:50.520
would have known he was looking.
Everybody knew he was looking. Everybody knew

55
00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:53.560
he was unhappy. Everybody knew he
thought he was gonna get fired. You

56
00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:55.800
want to get out. Before he
got fired, everyone knew that he was

57
00:03:55.800 --> 00:04:00.280
trying to get out. Drumont should
have fired him. He should have him

58
00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:01.599
on the spot at the end of
the season. Like I wrote, I

59
00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:06.639
should have done it and got over
with But for whatever reason, for money,

60
00:04:06.719 --> 00:04:11.479
money reasons and David, they still
believed in him and that that was

61
00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:14.719
a mistake. And it's on.
It's on Drummond. Now. Truman's got

62
00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:18.240
a big cask ahead of him to
regain their faith. The alumni and boosters

63
00:04:18.279 --> 00:04:23.480
of the program. Yeah in trouble. Uh all right, all right?

64
00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:28.519
Bill, So you you you took
Lebron to task uh the other day saying

65
00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:32.360
that the Lakers stood up to Lebron
and and denied him, denied him the

66
00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:38.720
trade that he that he wanted.
So Lebron is back to being the GM

67
00:04:38.839 --> 00:04:43.720
de facto? Is that what we're
saying again? Oh no, well,

68
00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:46.160
well they showed he's not the GM. Lakers shoulder, he's not not the

69
00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:51.800
GM by not making the trade that
he wanted. So no, he's She's

70
00:04:51.920 --> 00:04:58.680
lost. The Lakers are taking slowly
taking back the Lakers. And you saw

71
00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:01.279
this this report about him grass getting
traded the Golden State, right, you'll

72
00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:04.600
see that. Yeah, yeah,
we talked about that earlier. When did

73
00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:11.519
you make of that? I think
obviously it's it will come across as Lebron

74
00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:15.040
saying he's created to the Lakers.
But I think there's enough smoke there that

75
00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:19.480
Golden State realized he could be unhappy. And I think this will surface again

76
00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:24.160
at the end of the season when
his player option is up. I think

77
00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:27.360
he's fifty to fifty at best to
come back to the Lakers. I can

78
00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:30.639
see him. I can see him
totally leaving, totally, you know,

79
00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:35.040
opting out, going somewhere he can
win, going to play with Ronny I

80
00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:40.879
can totally see that because they're not
gonna win here with him. They can't

81
00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:45.560
get enough players, they don't have
enough money, enough assets to win with

82
00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:49.839
him. And I think he knows
that. But Bill, why, why

83
00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:55.279
why is he? Why is it
his decisions that don't get that don't happen

84
00:05:57.240 --> 00:06:01.680
when things go bad or south and
if things go well. It's what a

85
00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:11.079
great job Rob Linca did and a
lot of credit last year for for KR

86
00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:15.680
all those players. And I asked
you at the top of that, would

87
00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:20.199
you say it's it's I mean,
I see your point, But I think

88
00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:26.839
the fact is that he when he
complains, he puts pressure on the organization,

89
00:06:27.839 --> 00:06:31.279
unfair pressure, undue pressure. It
makes everybody nervous, makes everybody look

90
00:06:31.319 --> 00:06:34.680
bad. I wish he keeps his
nose out of it. I wish he

91
00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:39.160
just played. I wish you wouldn't
try to. You can't tell me those

92
00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:44.399
emojis were him playing general manager.
You can't tell me he's not putting pressure

93
00:06:44.439 --> 00:06:47.199
on them by not answering those questions
in New York tell me a superstar,

94
00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:54.240
and that doesn't other than Kawhi Leonard
Well, I don't think anybody does.

95
00:06:54.519 --> 00:06:57.360
Like Lebron No he does it with
the path of regressiveness that Lebron does.

96
00:06:58.240 --> 00:07:01.800
I mean, if I come on
Fred out here, no no no,

97
00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:05.199
no, no, no, no
no no no. I'm letting you make

98
00:07:05.240 --> 00:07:11.399
your point. Leroy Neeman trying to
paint that picture that going at it.

99
00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:19.680
Look, you know, all right, you know, look, I think

100
00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:25.079
it is passive aggressive. Personally,
I'm tired of it, uh you know,

101
00:07:26.199 --> 00:07:28.560
and I have been. But I've
told Roddy that, so we don't

102
00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:30.680
have to fight about that now.
Uh, here's the thing. He's having

103
00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:34.439
a great year on the court.
My concern is this that, uh you

104
00:07:34.439 --> 00:07:36.519
know, the season ends first.
I don't think he's going anywhere. I

105
00:07:36.519 --> 00:07:40.079
don't think he's leaving fifty one million
dollars on a table. But that's just

106
00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:43.120
me. Let's say he goes all
right, I'm out. He brought him

107
00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:46.839
a title and a lot of expectation
aside from that that was never fulfilled.

108
00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:51.439
Really, I think this year,
more than past years, he is not

109
00:07:51.560 --> 00:07:56.639
played GM on social media things like
that as much. But I don't like

110
00:07:56.680 --> 00:07:59.040
when I play I'm gonna hold you
hostage game. I don't like that.

111
00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:01.839
I you know, when they Genie
Boss called him and said do you want

112
00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:05.319
to be traded, He goes,
now I want to be here. Oh

113
00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:07.959
okay, Well then then what's with
the emoji and everything? You know?

114
00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:11.600
I don't like that. I don't. And here's the other thing, right,

115
00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:15.519
I think the Lakers can make a
deep run. I still do.

116
00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:18.879
But if they don't win it,
then you know, he got a one

117
00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:22.519
title, and I agree with you, that might be the only title they

118
00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:26.199
get with him. And if that's
the case, then why are you get

119
00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:30.240
to sit with him? You go
in a different direction and come on back.

120
00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:33.519
You got a D, put somebody
around him that can play, and

121
00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:35.720
you try to build something else.
I mean, that's how I look at

122
00:08:35.759 --> 00:08:39.000
it. Let's say they traded the
Golden stated he got back two first round

123
00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:43.399
draft picks and Jonathan kaminga that'd been
tremendous to really run, and a D.

124
00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:48.200
Here's another part of the equation.
A D is proven to me,

125
00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:52.000
it's proven to all of us that
he can be a leader of this team.

126
00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:56.679
This year, he's he's a bit
awesome. He's been his best he

127
00:08:56.720 --> 00:08:58.440
can. You can build a team
around him. You don't need to get

128
00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:03.000
rid of him, So do that, build it around him. Yeah,

129
00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:09.480
But if there's animosity. If there's
animosity in Bron leaving, it will affect

130
00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:13.120
a D. It will affect him
going forward. If they're asking him to

131
00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:20.159
now become the leader in the face
of the franchise going forward, after they've

132
00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:26.679
kicked, basically kicked and parted ways
with Lebron and pushed him out the door,

133
00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:28.799
I don't know if that bodes well
for a D or the Lakers going

134
00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:33.279
forward. And do you know,
I mean, I think players are at

135
00:09:33.320 --> 00:09:35.799
heart, great players are selfish players, and I think he cares about a

136
00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:39.440
D. And I think he knows
he'll be the man here and they'll be

137
00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:43.679
unchallenged. I think they're like that. I mean, in in my opinion,

138
00:09:43.720 --> 00:09:46.080
I think he'll be fine. I
think it's a chance. Where are

139
00:09:46.120 --> 00:09:50.840
the case, it's a chance for
taking because as it stands now, they

140
00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:54.000
are being held hostage by the greatest
player ever. It sounds weird, but

141
00:09:54.039 --> 00:09:58.919
he's told no hostage. As long
as he's there. All we all agree

142
00:09:58.919 --> 00:10:01.279
with this. I don't think you're
going to they can't win a championship as

143
00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:03.759
well as he's there. He needed
this, funny. They need they need

144
00:10:03.759 --> 00:10:07.840
his draft picks, they need his
assets so that being said if he left,

145
00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:11.519
you wouldn't shed many tears. No, I think it's a good of

146
00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:13.919
course, you can look back,
and I did this to the press box

147
00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:18.240
with doctor Jadhim this year. I
look back when Mike be Ota got traded,

148
00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:22.440
I said, great move. So
so uh, I've got a history

149
00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:28.080
of saying great move on on on
really bad moves. But I think I

150
00:10:28.120 --> 00:10:31.039
think it would be I think it
would be a good move. And then

151
00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:35.200
to get rid of him and what
they and what they get for him and

152
00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:37.039
and a d as the guy.
You think they can win a title?

153
00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:43.639
Yes, the day they can get
two superstars draft picks, they can.

154
00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:46.480
They can have a hope. They
have a future again, they have no

155
00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:50.960
future now. Lebron's the ultimate win
now players. As my colleague, damn

156
00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:56.159
work, he always says they have
no future now. They have to win

157
00:10:56.240 --> 00:11:00.480
now, and they can't win now
with him. Were would you say they

158
00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:03.960
rank in the West right now?
Now? Good as Denver, there's Minnesota,

159
00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:07.240
They're now, there's the Clippers,
They're now, there's okay. See,

160
00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:13.360
I mean they're a playing team forever. As long as they have Lebron

161
00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:16.039
will be a playing team. And
that's the way to go about like so,

162
00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:18.440
you don't think that's constructed. If
they're playing and they're healthy, they

163
00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:24.720
can compete with half of the West
that will be in the playoffs. I

164
00:11:24.840 --> 00:11:28.639
see them having the throw to throw
to win playing game. I mean,

165
00:11:28.679 --> 00:11:33.320
we'll see if Kate Benson comes back
healthy, if Jerry Bradblok comes back healthy,

166
00:11:33.559 --> 00:11:35.559
maybe they got a shot to make
some kind of run. But no,

167
00:11:35.799 --> 00:11:39.519
they this is about championships. You
all know that you gotta win the

168
00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:43.080
title for to be worth it.
They can't win a title like that.

169
00:11:43.320 --> 00:11:46.200
They're not gonna win a title.
They're gonna be tread water the rest of

170
00:11:46.200 --> 00:11:50.399
the season. They'll be around five
hundred the rest of the season. You

171
00:11:50.440 --> 00:11:54.080
can't pay. They could lose tonight. Yeah he's not playing. Oh yeah,

172
00:11:54.080 --> 00:11:58.159
he's off. But it's gonna play
an the All Star Game. Well,

173
00:11:58.279 --> 00:12:01.240
is it really playing? That's practice, that's not a plan, that's

174
00:12:01.279 --> 00:12:03.840
just that's just a warm up.
That's a warm up. That's just staying

175
00:12:03.879 --> 00:12:11.519
loose. Speaking another just real quick
bill in terms of LA Superstars, how

176
00:12:11.519 --> 00:12:16.960
do you think it's gonna go and
play out? When you know Otani's not

177
00:12:18.039 --> 00:12:24.039
talking, Otani's only speaking once a
week. Otani's not giving the LA marketing

178
00:12:24.200 --> 00:12:30.000
media the time that the LA market
and media wants. Well, row,

179
00:12:30.039 --> 00:12:33.799
do you tell your son to get
on and make them talk learning, he's

180
00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:37.639
learning his Japanese as we speak,
Bill, he runs that clutout, he

181
00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:45.320
runs that cutout in person. No. I think Otani's actually talked three times

182
00:12:45.320 --> 00:12:48.360
so far in spree training or just
fancast, So maybe he will talk.

183
00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:52.279
If he doesn't talk, that puts
a lot of pressure on the other players,

184
00:12:52.519 --> 00:12:56.679
and that Bill's resentment because they've got
to talk for him, because there's

185
00:12:56.720 --> 00:13:01.960
gonna be fifty Japanese media there every
day no matter what. And if he

186
00:13:01.960 --> 00:13:05.919
doesn't talk to him, right,
they'll talk to him, they'll talk to

187
00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:09.679
whoever will talk to him, and
it'll be it'll be madness. So he's

188
00:13:09.720 --> 00:13:13.279
got the Dodgers have got got to
figure that out. They got to give

189
00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:18.919
him. They got like a like
Matthew Stafford talks every Wednesday, talks once

190
00:13:18.960 --> 00:13:22.480
a week. That's fine, talk
twice a week, but an idiot a

191
00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:26.240
schedule and stick that schedule because the
other players are gonna get really upset.

192
00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:31.320
I guarantee you and and you know
it's right. You live this have an

193
00:13:31.360 --> 00:13:35.519
answer for him. Oh, that's
gonna get older. It's gonna get old

194
00:13:35.600 --> 00:13:39.600
fast, you know, is you
know? Because think about it. If

195
00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:43.360
you're Freddie, or you're Mookie,
or you're even Max Munsey or somebody,

196
00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:48.759
and you go two for three with
two home runs, and yet all they

197
00:13:48.759 --> 00:13:52.759
want to ask you about the first
three or four questions are about Otani and

198
00:13:52.799 --> 00:13:58.960
what he did that day. That's
not gonna be good. Tyler's glad.

199
00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:05.840
Now it's a good picture. Trilby
camp are day and fifty people swarm them.

200
00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:13.759
Fifty people swarm Tylie. Last Now
they asked about o'connie. That's that's

201
00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:20.759
not that's not tenable. All right, expectations every year, but you know,

202
00:14:22.039 --> 00:14:26.080
do the Dodgers in your opinion because
it's it's impossible to predict this.

203
00:14:26.600 --> 00:14:28.720
But do they have to win the
World Series this year? Bill? I

204
00:14:28.759 --> 00:14:33.639
think they have to get there?
Yeah, and I think I think what

205
00:14:33.720 --> 00:14:37.519
happens if they don't. Somebody's gonna
take a fall. That's that's how this

206
00:14:37.639 --> 00:14:41.759
works. And Dave Roberts is on
the on the chopping block if they if

207
00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:46.000
they don't, say they ended the
World Series and that's not fair. But

208
00:14:46.120 --> 00:14:48.080
somebody's got to take a fall,
and then it will probably be him,

209
00:14:48.360 --> 00:14:52.759
and that's unfortunate because he's a great
manager. For yes, for his sake,

210
00:14:52.840 --> 00:14:56.840
Why is that though? Why?
Why why did somebody have to take

211
00:14:56.879 --> 00:15:00.639
a fall? If they get to
the World Series and then they just happened

212
00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:03.600
to run into a buzz saw of
say the Yankees get hot, or or

213
00:15:03.720 --> 00:15:07.039
the Orioles come, you know and
do what they do or whatever they can,

214
00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:11.480
they can lose the World Series.
Got to get there, Okay,

215
00:15:11.559 --> 00:15:15.279
okay, I got you spend a
billion dollars. You gotta get there.

216
00:15:15.600 --> 00:15:18.600
Someone's got to happen. I mean, people proceded. People didn't get fired

217
00:15:18.639 --> 00:15:24.360
every last year. If they have
another playoff implosion before we getting the World

218
00:15:24.440 --> 00:15:28.840
Series, somebody's going down. They
just are they just that, just that

219
00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:33.120
this way it is this town.
They's spent too much money to get no

220
00:15:33.159 --> 00:15:37.600
results. Now the World Series is
the crap shoot you get there, Just

221
00:15:37.679 --> 00:15:41.759
get just bring a World Series to
Dodger Stadium, Bring the fall Plactic to

222
00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:45.200
Dodger Stadium. That will be enough. Do that and they sure bill do

223
00:15:45.200 --> 00:15:46.799
that. That should be any problem. Yeah, how many do they win

224
00:15:46.799 --> 00:15:52.000
in five years? But they've got
all there at full strength with Freddie Mooki

225
00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:56.559
Otani Yamamoto Glass. Now they got
them all for the next five You know

226
00:15:56.639 --> 00:16:00.840
what, take one. I'll take
one, one non COVID years, world

227
00:16:00.919 --> 00:16:06.159
Chip Military championship, one full season
championship. They haven't won one in thirty

228
00:16:06.159 --> 00:16:11.200
five years. Don't forget that.
I will take one full season championship.

229
00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:15.000
That that would be enough for me. Everybody takes for granted, but again,

230
00:16:15.039 --> 00:16:18.039
they haven't done it since it's eighty
eight. Yeah, people think it's

231
00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:22.279
easy and we haven't had a you
know a yeah, it hasn't been.

232
00:16:22.519 --> 00:16:25.679
Has it happened? And I mean, do you guys? As the years

233
00:16:25.720 --> 00:16:32.759
go by, they're a bigger asterisk
on the twenty twenty championship. I think

234
00:16:32.759 --> 00:16:37.879
it's less meaningful every year to look
back at it. They played sixty games

235
00:16:38.120 --> 00:16:41.240
that really didn't That really doesn't count. They need to win a real one,

236
00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:47.759
all right. Did the Lakers count? No, they didn't count.

237
00:16:48.039 --> 00:16:51.720
It was the bubble, No,
they didn't count. What do y'all think?

238
00:16:52.519 --> 00:16:55.559
I think it counts? I'm both
of them. I think if you

239
00:16:55.600 --> 00:16:57.159
live in the city where the team
wins, you probably think it counts.

240
00:16:57.200 --> 00:17:00.720
If you live in any other city
in the country. You think it doesn't

241
00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:06.359
count unless they played like Tampa believes
it counted. But I guarantee you the

242
00:17:06.440 --> 00:17:10.880
Lakers win and the doctors when they
will say this is real now, they

243
00:17:10.880 --> 00:17:14.519
will look back and say, we
needed this to get this one because we

244
00:17:14.559 --> 00:17:17.319
needed to get a real one.
I guarantee the players feel that way.

245
00:17:17.599 --> 00:17:19.440
I guarantee it. Well, they'll
say it because that's the sentiment of a

246
00:17:19.480 --> 00:17:23.440
lot of folks out there that are
saying it in the narrative out that it

247
00:17:23.599 --> 00:17:26.599
read a parade. We haven't had
a parade in this town. A little

248
00:17:26.599 --> 00:17:30.519
too big teams and you know,
and and and then more than a decade.

249
00:17:32.480 --> 00:17:34.680
We didn't need to celebrate with it. We don't need to share it.

250
00:17:34.799 --> 00:17:37.559
That's hard, and I need to
share it. Bell. I thought

251
00:17:37.599 --> 00:17:41.160
you were going to at least say
at least say two in five years,

252
00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:47.480
But one one will do it for
you? Huh O? That will last?

253
00:17:47.880 --> 00:17:51.920
Those people want to last us for
five years. Well, I'll think,

254
00:17:51.960 --> 00:17:53.920
well, I'll believe, I think
it's so hard to do it,

255
00:17:53.960 --> 00:17:56.640
and they haven't none so long.
I'll take one, one real one,

256
00:17:56.839 --> 00:18:03.519
one parade, one champaign bath.
I'll take that. Well, you know,

257
00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:06.319
I look at it and see that. This is the thing about sports,

258
00:18:06.359 --> 00:18:08.839
and you guys argue with me about
this. Uh. In sports,

259
00:18:10.319 --> 00:18:11.839
very much like in life, it's
what have you done for me lately?

260
00:18:12.440 --> 00:18:17.160
You get one? Now, given
the way the Dodgers are constructed, you

261
00:18:17.200 --> 00:18:21.119
get one. That construction is still
there, right, You're not gonna have

262
00:18:21.160 --> 00:18:25.599
to start selling pieces off and mortgaging. So that's what I'm saying. You

263
00:18:25.640 --> 00:18:27.319
know what you've got for the next
five years. I think you've got to

264
00:18:27.359 --> 00:18:32.440
get more than one. Yeah I
do two. I do too. I

265
00:18:32.480 --> 00:18:37.839
think the Rams won one and they're
gonna live off that year. They weren't

266
00:18:37.839 --> 00:18:41.880
a super team. They had good
players, and Stabber came in and had

267
00:18:41.880 --> 00:18:45.720
a great year, but they weren't
a dominant super team like the Dodgers are

268
00:18:45.720 --> 00:18:51.400
constructed. Before the season starts this
year, I just think the Rams won

269
00:18:51.480 --> 00:18:53.519
a real one. Just get just
get a real let's talk after they win

270
00:18:53.559 --> 00:18:57.799
a real one. Talk all right, Bell, We appreciate you coming on

271
00:18:57.880 --> 00:19:04.920
as always. Thanks for hanging then. Okay, thanks built, Thanks built,

272
00:19:06.599 --> 00:19:11.920
because everybody built Plashki at the times. Yeah with you, I think

273
00:19:11.920 --> 00:19:14.079
you got them with more than one. Yeah I do too. I think

274
00:19:14.079 --> 00:19:17.599
you gotta I don't want to put
a number of but certainly more than one.

275
00:19:17.680 --> 00:19:19.200
You're talking about five years. We're
talking about a team is constructed.

276
00:19:19.240 --> 00:19:22.880
People believe in that of the best
is the best team ever ever in baseball.

277
00:19:23.119 --> 00:19:26.279
Yeah, so I think, yeah, you gotta win. You gotta

278
00:19:26.319 --> 00:19:30.559
win more than one. I agree
with them, though. If they get

279
00:19:30.599 --> 00:19:34.599
to the World Series, I think
that'll be okay. I agree, I

280
00:19:34.640 --> 00:19:37.359
agree, you know, I think
Gay's fine. I think the problem is,

281
00:19:38.359 --> 00:19:41.279
first, nothing can go south during
the regular season, you know,

282
00:19:41.359 --> 00:19:44.559
injuries and stuff. But they got
to be where they need to be.

283
00:19:44.799 --> 00:19:48.279
Yeah, when they get to the
playoffs, they gotta get deep. Yeah,

284
00:19:48.359 --> 00:19:51.079
I think that's the issue here.
All right, we'll have spirituality with

285
00:19:51.160 --> 00:19:59.200
VIC next. I like it around. A Happy Valentine's Day to all those

286

00:21:41.519 --> 00:21:44.000
get down there, can get down
there. I can get you to Peebo

303

needs now is love, sweet love
and my Ronnie Fossilo who loving the high

305
00:22:03.720 --> 00:22:08.640
coup with King Flava now. Happy
Valentine's Day, Vic, thank you so

306
00:22:08.759 --> 00:22:18.799
much. Of course, I'm so
upset, angry what happened in Kansas City

307
00:22:18.799 --> 00:22:26.279
earlier today at the end of the
parade. This was just a horrific incident.

308
00:22:27.400 --> 00:22:34.759
One dead, ten to fifteen injured. It's an ongoing investigation. Two

309
00:22:36.920 --> 00:22:44.400
suspects have been taken into custody.
But still this is a super poul parade

310
00:22:45.640 --> 00:22:51.200
in the heartland of America, Kansas
City, Missouri. This is so,

311
00:22:51.400 --> 00:23:03.039
this is shocking, This is so
shocking and horrific. Yes, apparently according

312
00:23:03.039 --> 00:23:07.759
to police reports. Uh, the
team itself was at was out of harm's

313
00:23:07.799 --> 00:23:15.200
way. But uh, our hearts
go out to the all the impacted families

314
00:23:15.240 --> 00:23:18.920
in Kansas City. It's just a
who ver, just a horrendous incident.

315
00:23:21.079 --> 00:23:27.519
It's also senseless, exactly, Freddie, it just uh, it's it's w

316
00:23:27.640 --> 00:23:33.720
a relentless onslaught of insanity in this
kind in this country. I just a

317
00:23:33.799 --> 00:23:38.599
j such a joyous day it was
to be when you're celebrating one of the

318
00:23:38.640 --> 00:23:45.680
greatest, greatest accomplishments in sports,
and uh this I this all this insane

319
00:23:45.720 --> 00:24:03.559
tumult ensues. So again, the
investigation is ongoing in Kansas City. Everyone

320
00:24:03.599 --> 00:24:06.680
was asking Taylor Swift what was going
on with Taylor Swift today? Well,

321
00:24:07.720 --> 00:24:15.799
she was on her way to Australia. She's playing three shows in Melbourne beginning

322
00:24:15.799 --> 00:24:22.559
on Friday. So that's what Taylor
is. Okay, who was asking that?

323
00:24:22.839 --> 00:24:26.759
I haven't heard one? Who's Kevin? Did you ask that? What

324
00:24:26.839 --> 00:24:30.880
did I ask? Where's Taylor Swift? I did not ask that. Que

325
00:24:30.240 --> 00:24:34.640
did that cross your mind? Not
at all? Well, people are asking

326
00:24:34.640 --> 00:24:41.839
me, Fred, it can't be. Can't you know? I jumped on

327
00:24:41.880 --> 00:24:48.599
the Taylor Swift bandwagon a long time
ago. People are calling you and asking

328
00:24:48.640 --> 00:24:53.440
you. They want to know,
they want to know Fred, and they

329
00:24:53.519 --> 00:24:57.000
know I'm fully tracking Tailor. No, no, no, no, no,

330
00:24:57.000 --> 00:25:00.200
no, no, you can't do
that. She had to say her

331
00:25:00.200 --> 00:25:03.960
plane because somebody kept tracking her flights
and she wants she wants to sue the

332
00:25:04.000 --> 00:25:07.400
guy. You can't really track her, Fred, She has more than one

333
00:25:07.440 --> 00:25:11.920
plane, so you're tracking the other
one. She sold wonderful plates. She

334
00:25:11.920 --> 00:25:15.880
has a decoy plane, one of
those that they take off together, but

335
00:25:15.880 --> 00:25:25.680
they go in opposite the direction.
That's real money. Yeah, well you

336
00:25:25.720 --> 00:25:30.440
speak decoy. You got to say, Tania, no, his beloved doggie.

337
00:25:30.160 --> 00:25:33.319
Oh, I thought you meant the
guy that took the picture for him

338
00:25:33.680 --> 00:25:37.240
for the Angels team picture, the
white guy they had stand there for you,

339
00:25:38.240 --> 00:25:45.240
guy standing that they put his head
over you know, the angels.

340
00:25:45.920 --> 00:25:49.279
We're going into the abyss after.
That's good. You couldn't even get show

341
00:25:49.440 --> 00:25:53.200
for a team picture. That's terrible. That was the greatest. That was

342
00:25:53.200 --> 00:25:56.799
the highlight of the season for them
last year. When the guy shows up

343
00:25:56.920 --> 00:26:04.799
dressed like Otani for the team picture, then they just photoshop. He would

344
00:26:04.880 --> 00:26:07.240
talk about it. Let's say something. We know what the problem was.

345
00:26:07.759 --> 00:26:11.519
People saw the guy walking out of
the dugout before the game to go to

346
00:26:11.559 --> 00:26:18.039
the team picture. So they saw
this guy in number seventeen Otani jersey walking

347
00:26:18.039 --> 00:26:21.359
out and who was that? There
was media members who just happened to see

348
00:26:21.400 --> 00:26:25.160
it. They weren't even shrewd enough
to do it when the media wasn't around,

349
00:26:25.240 --> 00:26:33.119
right, that's so sad. Well, the Japanese media hordes are all

350
00:26:33.160 --> 00:26:41.000
over Otani every move he makes.
Of course, today everybody in the house

351
00:26:41.480 --> 00:26:49.839
first full squad workout, apparently over
one hundred media members from Japan chronicling the

352
00:26:49.920 --> 00:27:04.000
Otani I'mamoto story because it is humongous. It's hell, he gande not even

353
00:27:04.160 --> 00:27:08.480
faithed at all. All right,
Vic, we'll have more in the haikup

354
00:27:08.519 --> 00:27:17.680
coming up. Hilarious. Hey,
yes, come on, we need it.

355
00:27:17.799 --> 00:27:22.640
Roddy p Fred Rogan Vic the Brick
Jacobs, Little Love Unlimited Orchestra running,

356
00:27:22.799 --> 00:27:33.240
Oh look at you there you go, Vic love it, bring it

357
00:27:33.640 --> 00:27:40.720
fellas On euphoric about the Dodgers,
Like I said, first full squad workout

358
00:27:40.720 --> 00:27:47.680
today at camel Back, and don't
forget next Thursday or first broadcast Dodgers padres

359
00:27:47.960 --> 00:27:49.599
Right here? Are you a home
of Otani? Sign on the Dodgers,

360
00:27:51.559 --> 00:27:56.759
A five seven the l A Sports
and get this Japanese high school slugging prodigy.

361
00:27:56.799 --> 00:28:03.559
Have you heard of Sazaki? No
coming to America? Was hooked up

362
00:28:03.559 --> 00:28:10.799
by Stanford Rentaro. Sazaki, seventeen
years old, six feet two hundred and

363
00:28:10.799 --> 00:28:17.480
fifty pounds, dubbed the Japanese Prince
Fielder, went to the same high school

364
00:28:17.680 --> 00:28:22.079
as Ohtani Hanamaki. He got you
high school. So Sazaki will play three

365
00:28:22.160 --> 00:28:27.119
years for the Cardinal and then he's
going to go into the MLB draft.

366
00:28:29.400 --> 00:28:36.160
So Sauzaki coming to America. Nice. So you say he's got a little

367
00:28:36.279 --> 00:28:38.680
little heft to him, I'm assuming
with the Prince fielder or little girth?

368
00:28:38.880 --> 00:28:41.440
Yeah, a little bit of girth, all right, little thicky love that

369
00:28:41.519 --> 00:28:47.480
sushi thicky. He's got to you
know, eat that gohan man, get

370
00:28:47.480 --> 00:28:52.000
that rice down, go yeah,
get the rice down, then go on,

371
00:28:52.279 --> 00:29:00.480
get the carbo hydrates flowing. He's
traded like alcohol. Yeah, whoa

372
00:29:03.000 --> 00:29:11.519
cotn issue? Are mathletough? Meanwhile, the Lakers loving the Dinwitty debut last

373
00:29:11.599 --> 00:29:18.759
night? Six points seven assists.
I think that's really solid game for Spencer.

374
00:29:18.319 --> 00:29:22.400
Are you loving as goatee? Though? I dig it, it's got

375
00:29:22.440 --> 00:29:26.119
like a Wilt Chamberlain flavor going on? No, yeah, oh yeah.

376
00:29:26.160 --> 00:29:37.279
Bit Lakers starting five and double figures. I think Robert Sockray posted a double

377
00:29:37.279 --> 00:29:45.759
double lisson. Who is this guy? So? No, no bron tonight,

378
00:29:45.359 --> 00:29:51.279
no no, But they are playing
good ball. They've won five of

379
00:29:51.400 --> 00:29:55.559
six, ten or fifteen maybe the
garbage Detroit team. Big well, listen,

380
00:29:56.319 --> 00:29:59.799
Still, you gotta line up who
you know who's scheduled in the downtown.

381
00:29:59.799 --> 00:30:03.720
Who don'jo you know what? Some
Knights is gonna be the timber Wolves

382
00:30:03.799 --> 00:30:07.200
or the Knight's gonna be the Pistons. You gotta line up, and you

383
00:30:07.240 --> 00:30:14.440
got a ball like your hair's on
fire, as Shaquille used to has to

384
00:30:14.480 --> 00:30:18.559
do. Give it up for the
big blessing. How about the honor Shaquille

385
00:30:18.559 --> 00:30:26.119
O'Neill. Just the big, big
blessing got in Orlando last night when they

386
00:30:26.799 --> 00:30:33.839
hung his number thirty two into the
rafters. That was a bit overdue.

387
00:30:34.079 --> 00:30:47.319
Give it up for Shaquille. Hit
me call you tickets ticket? Were you?

388
00:30:47.880 --> 00:31:02.880
Yes? There? I was,
so congratulations Shaquille. M Jim Harbor

389
00:31:03.200 --> 00:31:11.039
is forming his coaching staff. I'm
loving that he hooked up Nick Hardwicke iconic

390
00:31:11.160 --> 00:31:17.400
center to buttress the bolts O line. Didn't know you were that fascinated by

391
00:31:17.519 --> 00:31:22.039
offensive line coaches, Vic, I
am. Isn't that where the game is

392
00:31:22.079 --> 00:31:26.319
won and lost in the trenches?
Rodney, say it again, Vic,

393
00:31:26.559 --> 00:31:32.079
Vick, protection, protection of your
quarterback and establishing a running game. There

394
00:31:32.079 --> 00:31:38.160
you go, vict You got that
right, Vic. Why the forty nine

395
00:31:38.240 --> 00:31:44.200
ers fire Steve Wilks today their defensive
coordinator? Can you explain that to me?

396
00:31:44.319 --> 00:31:48.759
They did? Yes, Oh,
Shanahan said audiosa Steve Wilkes. Oh

397
00:31:48.799 --> 00:31:52.720
no, they're putting the blame on
Wilkes. He held the Chiefs of nineteen

398
00:31:52.759 --> 00:31:59.000
points in regulation. Yeah. Yes, I thought he did a pretty good

399
00:31:59.079 --> 00:32:07.680
job. I thought it was brilliant. Apparently the schematically By the way,

400
00:32:08.079 --> 00:32:13.839
Mahomes went down the field unstoppable.
Really got to Shanahan. He said,

401
00:32:13.880 --> 00:32:17.440
why can't we stop Mahomes? Shanahan, No one stops Mahomes. You think

402
00:32:17.480 --> 00:32:23.359
Steve Wilkes has a blueprint for stopping
Mahomes? I mean he he basically bottled

403
00:32:23.400 --> 00:32:30.799
them up for four quarters. And
Steve Wilkes is gone. Kind of a

404
00:32:30.839 --> 00:32:34.200
stunning, stunning reversal up up in
San Francisco, playing a little blame game

405
00:32:34.279 --> 00:32:45.519
up there, you guys decided about
Tiger Woods teeing off tomorrow morning at nine

406
00:32:45.480 --> 00:32:58.759
twenty five. I'm excited. It's
good to be excited. He's got his

407
00:32:58.920 --> 00:33:06.559
new UH apparel line, Sunday Red
going on. Yeah, it's not easy

408
00:33:06.640 --> 00:33:10.640
hosting and playing. So he's hosting
the Genesis Invitational and he's playing in it.

409
00:33:10.759 --> 00:33:15.160
What do you what do you think
He's gonna welcome everybody to the first

410
00:33:15.200 --> 00:33:19.319
t is the host vic VI.
I'm curious to see what of the hosting

411
00:33:19.400 --> 00:33:23.160
duties for the Genesis Invitational. I
don't know. Maybe he's gonna park everybody's

412
00:33:23.200 --> 00:33:27.960
car car, He's gonna be the
valet. Yeah, they all come and

413
00:33:27.960 --> 00:33:36.000
to his house for a party.
Well, it definitely amps up the tournament

414
00:33:36.079 --> 00:33:39.240
energy. I mean, it's like
it's an idyllic, iconic golf course.

415
00:33:39.680 --> 00:33:44.880
The Riviera is just gorgeous. I
think they should have to drunk people from

416
00:33:44.960 --> 00:33:50.440
the uh the waste management show up
at this one. That'll be fun fun.

417
00:33:52.960 --> 00:33:58.400
Well, let's face it, the
Riviera when they host a tournament,

418
00:33:58.480 --> 00:34:02.559
it's always high energy and fantastic.
Yeah, and just walking the river,

419
00:34:05.119 --> 00:34:09.559
it's such a glorious experience. It's
it's just a sensational scenery. The weather

420
00:34:09.639 --> 00:34:17.119
is going to be picture perfect and
there all starts tomorrow at the Riviera Genesis

421
00:34:17.199 --> 00:34:22.360
Invitational. Last time I was at
Riviera, you know who I saw play

422
00:34:22.360 --> 00:34:24.599
golf? Who's that? Oh J
Simpson? Oh lord, that's a long

423
00:34:24.639 --> 00:34:30.639
time ago. Well he killed it
that day. I'm going to transition.

424
00:34:34.199 --> 00:34:37.119
I'm transitioning, Fred, I'm pivoting. After that, you're gonna pivot.

425
00:34:37.199 --> 00:34:44.320
Okay, look at me. I'm
pivoting and I'm going to go to the

426
00:34:44.440 --> 00:34:52.119
